Beyond the Veil - Hotfix #2

Mists Changes

• The respawn speed of enemies within the Mists has been doubled to make sure Mists don’t clear out quite as fast
  
• Fame received from freeing Caged Wisps, escorting Weakened Wisps, and clearing mob camps now properly applies to current equipment
  
• The treasure chest value in the Mists has been roughly tripled to be approximately equivalent to treasure chests found in the open world
  
• Weakened Wisps have had their Might and Favor value increased significantly to better reward players who help them
  
• Resources now spawn more of their charges up front rather than saving them for later in the Mist’s life cycle to reduce the frequency of one charge nodes
  
• Mythical mobs had their loot tables slightly adjusted to account for yesterday’s general loot increase, which allows us to spawn 20% more mythical mobs...

Hey everyone!


During today’s maintenance, we’ve addressed some of the initial feedback for the Beyond the Veil update.

To begin, we’ve made some initial adjustments to respond to feedback about the rewards. The Mists should never outcompete the open world in terms of value, as this would drain players from the open world which is not healthy for the game in the long term. Despite this stance, we do feel there are opportunities to increase the rewards in the Mists.


Artifact Enemies / Mythical Mobs

Due to artifacts having a tendency to plummet in value if too many are given out, we have to show some restraint with how many of the Mythical creatures spawn, or else they will be easily found but not rewarding at all. To help them retain their value we wanted to collect some initial data to see how many of the enemies we spawn are actually killed.

They appear to be more elusive than we previously though... Read more
