RE: Server Changelog - GM-Ayu - 01-24-2021
This was also added during today's maintenance, but I forgot to type it out the first time.
-
Other Monster Changes
- Biolab monsters now have 2 etc item, and Blood Thirst/Warrior's Will at 90%. One random filler loot that used to drop at 7.5% is removed.
- Draco's Dragon Vest drop rate increased to 0.45%
- Draco's Dragon Breath drop rate increased to 0.45%
- Draco's Spike[2] drop rate increased to 0.75%
- Dark Pinguicula's Exorcising Ring drop rate increased to 0.45%
- Ancient Tree's Bradium Ring drop rate increased to 0.45%
- Ancient Tree's Vital Tree Shoes drop rate increased to 0.45%
- Rhyncho's Tidal Shoes drop rate increased to 0.75%

For very high end dungeons that should require a small party (or an *extremely* geared solo character), the usual standard will be set to 0.45% as the drop rate. We've updated Root of Yggdrasil to match that of Biolab and Blackout Clocktower.

Valentine's Day 2021

RE: Server Changelog - GM-Ayu - 03-24-2021
- Server Changelog
All rates mentioned are at heRO's usual 5/5/3 rate, which is different from the current 6/6/4 apology rate.
Monster Rebalances
Overall: Scaraba needs no incentives so its runestones are shifted to other places to fit the philosophy of who gets runestones. Bifrost tower is overly conservative with its drop rates due to its mobiness initially, so that will be remedied by moving it to be in line with typical heRO drop rates for equipment from monsters.
- Antler Scaraba and Rake Scaraba no longer drops their runestones
- Necromancer now drops Mystic Rune at 0.45%
- Banshee now drops Ancient Rune at 0.45%
- Lichterns now drop equipment items at their expected drop rate of similar monster difficulty: main item now drops at 0.3% as a base line up from 0.15%
- Petal now drops Elemental Robe at 0.3% up from 0.15%
- Menblatt now drops Elemental Cape at 0.3% up from 0.15%
- Faithful Manager's Elemental Origin drop rate increased from 1.5% to 2.25%
Item Rebalances
Overall: tackling some flat matk silliness which traditionally is "equal" to ATK, but flat ATK means a lot more than flat MATK at the same number since MATK is a much higher number than ATK. We are also buffing some less used custom equipment so they are more of a viable side-grade options. Luxury Hat also gets a soft nerf for its absolute dominance as a defensive headgear without changing its defense. Some cards also have their effects split since they do a lot in a random, unjustified bundle for no adequately explained reasons. A few "miniboss" cards are also slightly nerfed so that they are suitable to be added to OCA in a future update (no ETA).
Pre-emptively speaking for inevitable question: "should I hold on to OCA/DCA?" If you fear pool dilution and likes the content of them now, open them. If you want to wait for the potential expansion to venture into the unknown, save them if you can wait. There's no ETA for when this will change, so I don't know how long the wait will be either. That depends on network related issues to see if we can get test servers back up and running, which is still dead since early March.
No Gunslinger item will be changed until Gunslinger overhaul is complete.

Regarding Mavka
The giant inflation elephant in the room: it was within region of acceptability without donation boosts. Some zeny farming spot will always be at the top and that's fine. There will always be a clear winner. However, when donation boosts kick in, that's when it starts getting absurd. GM team discussed about how to handle it, and in the end, we decided to take a more moderate, slower approach. We recognize that players have warped builds to specifically make Mavka hunting work, and players dedicated entire character slots to do nothing but this one task.
Once the current Mavka boost ends (to be fair to our donating supporters), we will be nerfing the NPC sale price of Crystal Mirror, but will keep all other drops (including the witherless rose) with no changes. The mirror price drop will be calculated to maintain Mavka to be the top spot, just that it'll be closer to the other known zeny spots in context of only selling NPC loot without selling to other players for cards/gears. Conversely, the existing monsters (mainly Iara) who also drop Crystal Mirrors will have their crystal mirror proportionately buffed so that statistically these other monsters will not get nerfed as a casualty.

Server Changelog
More Apology Goods
Pandelina has some different items for you this time that are slightly less transferable. We apologize once again for the downtime and we'll put that as our focus to troubleshoot our recent map server related woes lately.

Warzone Mob Changes
- New monster "Succubus." now spawns in Warzone!
- To maintain mob density, all mobs in warzone now spawns 7 copies instead of 8 copies
- No changes to Wild Emperium
Warzone Policy Change
Warzone has long been an issue due to number of monsters there making the map quite difficult to navigate, and it also eats up a disproportionate amount of server resources. We are going to implement a new system for the player mob creation system effective immediately.
Warzone mob will now have a "first in, first out" queue for player mobs where player mobs will retire in time. We will cut down the number of mobs in warzone down to only 20 variety of player mobs at all times. The current oldest 43 mobs will retire some time in June.
These 20 player mobs in the future will have their skills/drops adjusted as well.
All current players who have a mob in their name can ask for an immediate full refund in woe points to have their mobs retire prematurely instead of waiting to be bumped off the list. Please contact a GM via discord or support ticket to make for this arrangement. To get the refund, you must be able to log in to the character with the exact name as the mob in warzone.
