x1 server description in English

[Sneuly]

 So, new x1.5 is opening in less than a week, on 2nd of September. Even though English wing of the forum is not quite active, I still translated all major described features of last x1, which will pretty much stay same on the new server. If any new info is provided in near future I will include that too. Translation is not literal, but provides main idea of each point. Also there were quite few bugfixes/small changes in the end of the list which I skipped.

 

================================================================================================

New features compared to last year's Prime(most of the features will be installed on both servers)

*All summons share same saved buffs. No longer possible to keep multiple summons with prepared buff. (There was bug/abuse when summoners could overbuff 5 different servitors(1st/2nd/3rd profession summons) with Appetite for Destruction and Spirit of Shilen for example, and swap servitors as buff timed out on each of these).
*Decreased expirience penalty in PvP combat.
*"Dimensional Rift" and "Delusion Chamber" are less profitable. (Players no longer can improve Rift's room difficulty twice, only one improvement is allowed.)
*Labyrinth of the Abyss(group kamaloka) is working.
*Some AoE spells had more targets then intended, lowered to correct values.
*Warsmith's Swoop Cannon damage radius decreased from 500 to 350.
*Vitality is increased for everyone who attacked raid boss, not only for the party with highest damage.
*"Don't know, don't care" quest has lower chance to award with equipement.
*Hellbound reputation is gained 10 times faster.
*Epic raid boss Baium abilities were buffed. Players inside Baium's lair can no longer interact through wall with players who are outside. *Logged off characters inside of lair will be teleported out after delay.
*Seed of Annihilation zone buffs fixed. Mages can farm one zone, archers second and melees third. Buffs are swapped randomly between zones every Monday.

 

Epic boss Orfen reworked on all servers

Level increased to 60, boss and guards are much stronger
Epic zone added to lair and around it
Now drops improved version of Orfen Earring:
M. Def +71, MP + 46, Stun/Sleep Resistance + 25%, Stun/Sleep Atk. Rate + 25%, Heal + 10%, MP Cost -5%, Vampiric +4%
Chance of drop is same, 30%
Earrings dropped earlier will remain unchanged
Zone restricting high level characters in "Sea of Spores". Same as around Queen Ant in Ant Nest.
Spiders that were required for PK quest will be moved outside this zone.

Death after pvp takes less than 1% fore sure. The claimed numbers are not correct. Admins decreased penalty after pvp death later, because original numbers were nonsense
