Patch A.1.1

Overview

In this patch we'll be going over balancing for OGH, some bug fixes, and thats mostly it for now. I'll be trying to squeeze in as many issues as we can in each window, but if the bug you reported isn't fixed yet, fear not. we'll likely be doing close to daily maints and short patches for awhile.

Remember, these will NOT be the last set of balancing changes for OGH. It's still effectively work in progress to OGH in a good and fun spot.

New Party Map Indicators

So there's been a few people walking into maps totally confused at OGH why they can't deal any damage in castle and then coming to conclusion they can't deal damage anywhere for some reason so I've placed some friendly Piamettes outside the party based maps.

There's already an npc explaining chivalry 2's mechanics outside chivalry, but castle 1 was not explained. I didn't feel it needed it, but to prevent frustration I'm placing one in front of castle 1. This one will specifically explain that only melee classes can deal damage on that map and its for small parties.

The other big party based maps simply warn you that there is individual loot but the maps are very difficult and shot not be attempted alone. Hopefully this spares you guys some needless deaths.

Warp to Prison

Yes I've heard prison is a slog to get to since its designed for specific classes who then have to traverse a map like castle 1 that isn't designed with them in mind. As such I'm providing a "shortcut" with a friendly White Knight.

Talk to this White Knight and he will offer to warp you to guide (warp) you to the prison for free. From there you'll find the warp unlocker and never have to talk to him again.

You can find this NPC just outside Castle 1 on the lower steps leading up to it.

Balance Changes Explained (Solo Maps)

So OGH so far as expected has been challenging for people! Many players as I expected are not fond of the challenge, but others are taking it in stride and farming the maps once they find out the intended strategies. None the less, there have been swings and MISSES as well that I've noticed. Particularly the lack of areas for mobbing classes entirely such as ME priest, GC sader, or even a high wiz. There is also a distinct problem with people feeling completely shoehorned into one map. While I wanted to strongly encourage specific builds to go to specific places, I definitely overshot here a bit on some things so I'm doing some adjustments here on some maps that I see to provide more balance.

The main thing you'll notice is that all mobs are getting a 2nd temporal crystal drop of an alternate type that may be desired by a class that isnt necessarily intended for the mob/map, but may be able to make it work. It will be a lower rate than normal as I really want to encourage the intended design, but at least this way you have more agency over your own destiny so to speak. You can exchange the main temporal crystal you dont want 2:1 still and you get the one you want occasionally.

This way if you find a map that works for you but wasn't intended you won't have to feel bad about it.

Also it will be listed below but there was a typo with all temporal crystals and their drop rate should have been 0.10 to begin with across the board but they released at 0.05. But I guess that doesn't matter as a balancing lever will be to increase the drop rate of these across the board.

Chivalry 1

I'll list the changes in a neat list below, but the goal with adjustments to chivalry will be to drastically tone down bulk and damage and also remove the teleport functionality from the mobs. You still won't be able to cd in mouth or reflect build here, but all other builds should be viable that mob. So Knights, GC Saders, Wizards, and ME priests should hopefully find a home in chivalry 1 that feels engaging. I added in drops for magic classes specifically here on the crystals for the secondary drop. Note, however, that unlike the other buffed drop rates maps the chivalry will take into account that mobbing is gonna likely be the primary way people play here so the drop rate will be lower than other maps to make up for that.

1.) Contaminated Raydric: HP > 76k

2.) Contaminated Raydric: DEF > 33, MDEF > 25

3.) Contaminated Raydric: EXP > 39k, JOB EXP > 38k

4.) Contaminated Raydric: Attack > 1450-1860

5.) Contaminated Raydric: Temporal Crystal Cerulean Added at 0.02% drop rate, (ivory unchanged at 0.05, this is a nerf however due to the buffs of other maps)

7.) Contaminated Raydric: Coagulated Spell drop chance lowered to 30%

8.) Contaminated Raydric Archer: HP > 68k

13.) Contaminated Raydric Archer: Coagulated Spell drop chance lowered to 30%

Prison 2

Prison 2 is mostly on point with beast strafers finding a home, but the intended melee audience is still getting slapped around a bit too hard. I do like that they are bulky and threatening forcing you into more creative builds to deal with them, but I do not like that people feel they simply aren't worth the slog. As such I'll be toning these down slightly in their attack, HP, and adding in the aforementioned extra temporal crystla drop this time aimed at the beast strafers who have found a home here.

Balance Changes Explained (Party Maps)

So I've been watching people try to attempt to take on the party maps and as I also expected, people are REALLY struggling. Even skilled groups are getting their teeth kicked in and it shows. I see players trying to brute force things and slowly coming to the realization that "ah yes, we need to just dodge it". That's right guys, you will actually have to move and pay attention. You will have to work together and try to plan a strategy and you wont be able to auto pilot like you normally have. That part of the design has been on point, but there are still some very clear glaring issues.

The first big issue is that while people CAN take these mobs down one at a time with a mountain of effort, the rewards are paltry for the time its taking them. If you're gonna have to work so hard you should be rewarded for it so I'm going to be upping the rewards on ALL the party maps. With big rewards/focus on the hardest maps (chivalry 2 and church) to encourage people to really brave those maps as those are the ones I really feel give you a new experience.

Castle 2 has been great honestly people are doing it just as I expected similar to Bio labs 3 and having fun with it. The rewards are going to be too low tho relative to the other harder maps so I'll be upping the drop rates there as well to be more in line. Castle 2 will still have the lowest rewards relative to the harder maps so you should want to go to church/chivalry 2 for optimal rewards, but castle 2 should be a steady, fun, and viable place to go if you really dont enjoy the other 2.

Also, the bulk is a bit high on church and chivalry 2 so I'll be toning that down slightly but not too much as I want to give people time to really figure it out. But for now the rewards are the main thing. You guys CAN do it. I believe in you, when I see you guys triumph finally its amazing, but right now the drops dont match the feeling you should get. So we'll start there and give everyone more time to work it out.
