Aggiornamento 19/05/2020 ore 09:55: Blizzard ha avvisato che M.A.D.R.E. comincerà a vedere le Corruzioni dalla prossima settimana.
Come annunciato durante l’intervista rilasciata settimana scorsa il buff alle reputazioni non sarà esteso, in compenso Blizzard ha reso note le novità in arrivo. Dalle prossime settimane, sarà più facile potenziare il Mantello Leggendario e sarà possibile scegliere la Corruzione dei propri equipaggiamenti. Nello specifico:
- I personaggi che hanno completato la serie di Missioni del Mantello Leggendario saranno in grado di ottenere Echi di Ny’alotha per poter acquistare le Essenze di Rango 3 e specifici effetti di corruzione;
- Il numero di Echi ottenuti dalle varie fonti è aumentato di 5 volte, insieme al costo delle diverse Essenze
- Gli Assalti maggiori forniranno 625 Echi (invece di 125);
- Le Essenze ora costeranno 2500 Echi (invece di 500)
- M.A.D.R.E. venderà specifici effetti di Corruzione in cambio di Echi di Ny’alotha, permettendo di assegnare queste Corruzioni ad un pezzo di equipaggiamento a scelta;
- Gli effetti venduti saranno randomici e cambieranno al cambio dell’Assalto Minore (il mercoledì ed il sabato)
- M.A.D.R.E. venderà anche i Vessilli necessari ad accedere alle Visioni Orripilanti, in cambio di Echi;
- Il Mantello leggendario sarà più facilmente potenziabile;
- Ogni singolo potenziamento sarà effettuabile completando una sola Visione Orripilante;
We’re working on an update to the game that we expect to roll out in the coming week. We plan to make improvements to the process of obtaining Corrupted items on max-level characters and also streamline upgrading the legendary cloak Ashjra’kamas.
Our goal with this update is to speed up the power progression of new level 120 characters, while giving established endgame players more agency in pursuing the Corruption effects they most desire.
More Echoes
In our last update, we added Echoes of Ny’alotha, a new currency available from most Visions of N’Zoth content, which can be used to directly purchase Rank 3 Essences that have already been unlocked on a different character. We plan to expand the availability and purpose of this new currency. Now, once any character completes the legendary cloak questline, they will immediately begin earning Echoes of Ny’alotha from all of the usual sources.
Echoes of Ny’alotha will be much more abundant than before. As we expand the usefulness of Echoes of Ny’alotha, we want to ensure that players who haven’t felt the need to accumulate them don’t feel disadvantaged, so we will be increasing both the droprates of Echoes and their costs by a factor of 5. This means that when these changes take effect, a Major Assault will award 625 Echoes, up from 125. The cost to purchase an Essence will also increase by the same factor, from 500 to 2500 Echoes.
If you are planning to purchase a Rank 3 Essence with Echoes of Ny’alotha that you’ve already earned, you should do so now, before these costs change.
Improving Ashjra’kamas
We’re also reducing the requirements for any quest step in upgrading the cloak from Ranks 1 to 15 that previously required multiple Horrific Visions. Each Rank can now be achieved in a single Horrific Vision. For example, upgrading your Rank 13 cloak to Rank 14 will now require 2 Torn Pages of “The Final Truth” (was 6), so if you’re currently in possession of 2 or more pages, you’ll turn them all in and immediately complete that quest. The following quest to upgrade from Rank 14 to 15 will then require that you go get 2 more new Torn Pages (was 8).
The requirements for further minor upgrades to the cloak after Rank 15 with Malefic Cores have not been changed.
MOTHER will also offer Vessels of Horrific Visions in exchange for Echoes of Ny’alotha, providing an additional source of access to Horrific Visions that does not require completion of Assaults.
Choosing Your Corruption
In addition to any unlocked Essences, MOTHER will now also offer several new Preserved Contaminants, which allow for a specific Corruption effect (and the associated Corruption penalty) to be applied to a selected item. The inventory of available Preserved Contaminants will change twice each week, mirroring the Assault cadence, and will cycle through all available Corruption effects at various levels of potency.
You can use a Preserved Contaminant to apply the Corruption you purchased to any uncorrupted item that can be Corrupted, much like an enchant. Here are some sample costs for MOTHER’s updated offerings:
Item Cost (Echoes of Ny’alotha) Vessel of Horrific Visions 1750 Rank 3 Essence 2500 Masterful I 3000 Siphoner I 4250 Twilight Devastation I 6250 Siphoner II 6300 Ineffable Truth II 6750 Racing Pulse III 7875 Echoing Void III 12000 Twilight Devastation III 15000 Important Notes
We highly suggest that you purchase any Rank 3 Essences that you want and can afford as soon as possible.
Due to a technical limitation, items that have been cleansed cannot be re-corrupted. We are looking into whether it will be possible to fix this, but we don’t want to hold up the whole system in the meantime.
All of the previous ways that Corrupted items and Vessels can be acquired are still in place. The changes above are meant to supplement those sources and provide you with more options and control in pursuing your goals.
