Golden Giftboxes - Thursday the 12th:
The second unluckiest day of the year returns… and this time during the Harvest Fest season! So unwrap crazy holiday crossover Golden Giftboxes with Earth variants of Mason Form, Deatharrows Cat, Krieger Klaws, and the sinister color-custom Mason Returns Mask. As well as the original versions! It also appears we have leftover Mogloween Candy.

Image

The following prizes will be leaving this week:
  • Hurricane Savage Werewolf Form
  • Hurricane Predatory Vampire Form
  • Jack Blade
  • Jack Bracer

Limited-Time Shop - Thursday the 12th:
Grab your 18th anniversary items and other Mogloween seasonal items as we will be clearing out the Limited-Time Shop to make room for a cache of unlucky gear! Find spells to conjure the deadly Mason to fight by your side. His iconic machete attuned to a cursed lake, striking with the stronger of Darkness or Water damage! Also grab (carefully) your own Broken Mirror Defender. Few things are as unlucky as breaking a mirror, so when a foe strikes this shield, some of that misfortune can lash out at them!

You can also now find Fallen Protector and Presenter of Peril faces in the Memorial Shop as we honor 2 more legends.



Zennistrad -> RE: GGBs - Thursday the 12th + LTS - Thursday the 12th (11/9/2020 14:20:40)

Huh. The preview image shows some kind of broken mirror blade, but nowhere is it mentioned in the newsletter what weapon that might be. All I know is that it's not the Mason Machete.

Also when it says that the LTS mogloween rares will leave I hope it's just for that one mogloween painting. I assume the OTHER mogloween LTS will still be around hopefully for black friday (assuming thats still a thing).

Obviously Presenter of Peril is in honor of Alex Trebek, is Fallen Protector in honor of Sean Connery? Nevermind, it's for Chadwick Boseman.

Legends never die, they just fade away. RIP.

Wow, discount mogloween candy bag is returning? I can't help feeling a primate's paw is curling somewhere.



Zennistrad -> RE: GGBs - Thursday the 12th + LTS - Thursday the 12th (11/9/2020 15:04:18)

That's the broken mirror defender, a shield. The image clearly also shows a broken mirror weapon, which is what I'm wondering about.



RobynJoanne -> RE: GGBs - Thursday the 12th + LTS - Thursday the 12th (11/9/2020 16:19:03)

I can't believe we're getting Discount Mogloween Candy back. Are the three resource conversion miscs going to get rebalanced now that one of them scales with level? It'd be the perfect time to fix the efficiency variance issue.



Bolter -> RE: =AQ= GGBs - Thursday the 12th + LTS - Thursday the 12th (11/9/2020 17:39:01)

Huh this variant of the Mason Form is using what looks like a spear rather than a Machete? Or is that supposed to be weapon coming to the GGBs too?



Zork Knight -> RE: =AQ= GGBs - Thursday the 12th + LTS - Thursday the 12th (11/9/2020 21:18:23)

Oh, nice to have some variation. I think it was Part 2 or 3 were Jason used a pitchfork.

Also, I'm curious as to wether the Mason Forms will return on appropriate Thursday the 12th (e.g. Festive returns every December Tuesday 12th) or if they're perma rare.

I agree. I have essence orb, pixel ether, and discounted mogloween candy bag. Together they make quite the combo lol

Is the new Earth Deatharrows going to be indentical to previous versions, because that would just be identical to Sabre Tooth Grenwog package aside from the save stat and also still inferior to Woolzard which is more or less free.


It would just be an Earth clone yes, they don't modify these items apart from changing the elements.



The Hollow -> RE: GGBs - Thursday the 12th + LTS - Thursday the 12th (11/11/2020 17:42:13)

The release is live... on the 3rd most unluckiest day of the year!



Ashmander -> RE: GGBs - Thursday the 12th + LTS - Thursday the 12th (11/11/2020 19:27:47)

where is the discounted mogloween candy bag?

GGB Rare shop.

@aq staff

I think this is more of a quality of life request but if it truly falls under balance please let me know and I'll move it to the appropriate subforum.

It seems like the rebalancing of discount mogloween bag has occurred and I imagine that similar items are to be rebalanced as well soon. Can the allowable amount of conversion between resources be targeted towards specific, relevant numerical targets? That would offer an important quality of life consideration without precluding the rebalancing of the items or making them too powerful. Specifically, if the conversion could be capped not at "X number of times a turn" but rather at "y absolute value a turn".

Easiest examples would caps of 392 SP or 653 MP per turn as these would allow the item to enable the use of a standard skill/spell. Falling short of these per turn thresholds means that one can not reliably convert resources in relevant situations where the ability is useful. Practically, without hitting those thresholds these items serve only to offer further power/ control in scenarios that are already under control rather than offering a potential remedy to dangerous situations. That may be the design intent but if not I hope something like this could be considered :)



Zork Knight -> RE: GGBs - Thursday the 12th + LTS - Thursday the 12th (11/12/2020 12:24:38)

Grabbed the Mason Face from Rare GGBs. Guess I'll keep it for now, until we have a werewolf face again.

Also if the candy bag revamp is any indication of what'll happen to Essence Orb, I'm glad it won't be made useless, but I do feel the numbers could go a little higher



s_venom -> RE: GGBs - Thursday the 12th + LTS - Thursday the 12th (11/12/2020 14:27:40)

Essence Orb is getting rebalanced?

Yes, Essense Orb will be updated.

Here's the planned update:
quote:

Easy way to think of it is there's 6 separate trackers.
HP2MP
HP2SP
MP2HP
MP2SP
SP2HP
SP2MP
Each converter works off of one of these variables. If you use an HP2MP effect, that ticks up the HP2MP variable by 1. Once the HP2MP variable hits 2 counts, you can't use any HP2MP converters in the current turn. You could still use SP2MP converters, though.

(Quoted by Kamui)



Caecus -> RE: GGBs - Thursday the 12th + LTS - Thursday the 12th (11/12/2020 15:58:25)

That plan looks interesting, I'm just hoping that [2 uses per turn] will be standardized to allow a meaningful amount of conversion for each relevant resource. I'm not well versed enough in every build to know if the mp to hp conversion of the new candy bag already fits such criteria.

If someone runs a tank mage build that would rather turn their mp into hp consistently instead of just casting a mana shield or healing spell I'd legitimately be super interested to hear from them. I can say as a pure spellcasting mage that 1,2 or infinite uses of an item per turn never matters more than the simple question "can I gain 1 spellcast worth of mana this turn". That stands even if the tradeoff is "unfavorable" i.e. using the mind gauntlet for the 4th turn.



Tacos -> RE: GGBs - Thursday the 12th + LTS - Thursday the 12th (11/12/2020 15:59:08)

^^ If I'm reading that right, there's a limit on how much we can use the Orb per turn now? Seems pretty bad if the conversion is not good, but thats hard to do for the numerous builds out there. I like it as a flat number per use.



s_venom -> RE: GGBs - Thursday the 12th + LTS - Thursday the 12th (11/12/2020 17:02:42)

I guess this game is going to be balanced to a point that I will just stop playing...



Joseph M -> RE: GGBs - Thursday the 12th + LTS - Thursday the 12th (11/12/2020 19:10:06)

Oof, wish I would have seen this post before I grabbed a Discounted Mogloween Candy Bag. Hopefully the purchase doesn't end up being useless.



RobynJoanne -> RE: GGBs - Thursday the 12th + LTS - Thursday the 12th (11/12/2020 20:21:09)

Discount Mogloween Candy's still good for QC healing, and it's great for using mp for builds with mp that primarily use SP instead (fewer wasted resources). QC resource conversion will always have a use.

That said, it would be nice to heal SP now as well if we're going to go the route of limiting Essence Orb's uses. Otherwise, mages will have a huge advantage in resource management, especially during wars where speed is everything.

I still think Purple Rain is the bigger issue rather than the conversion miscs, but it's a start.



OverLordOfDeath -> RE: GGBs - Thursday the 12th + LTS - Thursday the 12th (11/13/2020 2:48:11)

Eh. Not very fond of good items being rebalanced in a single player game.
