Как найти хелгейт альбион

While we’ve wanted to add more item loot to Mob Camps, traditional delivery methods don’t create the type of gameplay we’re looking for. If a chest spawns early, whoever gets there first wins. If it spawns late, we create a “King of the Hill” scenario until the chest spawns. While some may prefer this, Treasure Chests already serve this purpose, and this gets away from what Mob Camps are supposed to be: PvE objectives that can be completed at any time, versus demanding immediate attention.

To solve this, Caches can now be found in all Mob Camps:

• After completing a Mob Camp, a Cache unlocks that is lootable only by the player that generated it. They are thus “instanced” treasure chests, with each player having their own reward pool. Rarity is also instanced, so a given Cache may be rare for one player but legendary for another.
• As Mob Camps are completed relatively quickly, the loot is also distributed in a nontraditional fashion. The most common “Green” Caches contain nontradable Fame. This scales with the lethality, tier, and rarity of the Mists you’re in, but does not scale with the Cache’s rarity, to give as much Fame as possible to common Caches.
• More importantly, however, this can significantly improve the item loot of blue, purple, and legendary Caches – all of which can potentially be found in any Mob Camp.

Treasure Chests within the Mists are a great way to bring players together to fight for loot. However, they fail to bring smaller groups together, they don’t encourage newer players to compete, and they don’t offer conflict-averse players a chance to swipe the loot before others arrive.

For this reason, we’ve created Coffers that can be found throughout the Mists:

• Coffers work exactly like other Open World Treasures, with one exception: they only reveal their location to nearby players.
• While these chests are worth less than Treasures that broadcast their location to the entire map, they spawn much more frequently than the larger chests.

• Knocking enemies into the air is now affected by Diminishing Returns
• Knocking enemies into the air now counts as knockback for DR, with individual adjustments applied to various abilities
• Knockback DR Factor: 0.04 → 0.08
• Knockback DR Time: 15s → 10s

• 2v2 Hellgates:
  • Healing Reduction: 10% → 20%

• Added collision blocker behind chests in Hellgates to prevent dead players from blocking looting

• When using a portal invisibility shrine after being force-dismounted, the immunity to Silence was canceling the Silence aspect of the shrine. Since shrines are triggered by the player, the Silence effect now ignores the immunity.
• When the Smart Cluster Queue activated after a forced dismount, the Stun effect of being moved to a different zone was ignored. The Smart Cluster Queue Stun effect now always applies to players moved via this system.

• To require a greater commitment to potential PvP while looting in combat situations, bringing greater risk to a previously easy reward
• To prevent players from accidentally losing their shield bubble when clicking on a corpse, which is often used to bait less experienced players into being easily attackable

• Might and Favor acquired through Gathering/Fishing (Outlands and Roads): + ~31%
• Might and Favor acquired through PvE (Outlands and Roads): + ~23%
• Might and Favor from Crystal Spiders: +5%
• Might and Favor from Siphoning Mages: +10%
• Might and Favor from winning in Corrupted Dungeons: +20%
• Might and Favor from Hellgates: +15%

• Fixed a rare Hellgate bug where teammates lost party status and became attackable

• Zones must still be overcrowded for a minimum duration before they can be skipped, which resets regularly
• However, if the zone becomes uncrowded for a brief time it no longer resets the counter
• Also reduced personal cooldown for zone skipping: 125s → 60s
• Overall, this should reduce wait times for zone skipping

• PvE Rewards in Lethal Hellgates increased:
  • 2v2: +10%
  • 5v5: +20%
  • 10v10: +30%
• Elite Dungeons: Avalonian Mages are no longer visible on the minimap

• Corpses can no longer be looted while a Hellgate PvP match is active

• Increased radius at which Hellgate PvP chests despawn if player corpses are under or near it (chest must still be fully looted before despawn)

• Significantly increased rewards across all non-lethal and lethal Hellgate modes
• A chest will now always appear at the portal after any Hellgate is completed, either by killing the opposing team or collecting sufficient Infamy from killing mobs
  • These chests can be Common, Uncommon, Rare or Legendary
• Increased the value of Uncommon, Rare, and Legendary chests in Hellgates
• Contents of PvP reward chests are now boosted by Infamy, as well as containing the value the non-PvP chest would have contained
• All Cooldowns (including capes) now reset instantly for both teams when a Hellgate is invaded, and Health and energy are replenished as well
• Removed delay in matchmaking for chained Hellgates to remove any benefit from waiting in a Hellgate instead of progressing for more loot
• Knocked-down players on a winning team now get up immediately when the losing team is eliminated
• Knocked-down players on a losing team are now shielded and get up immediately when removed from a Hellgate
• Added additional bigger entrance to final combat area in “The Ritual” map to make it more challenging to defend

• Added Hellgate Infamy to player stats menu
• Hellgates: decreased lava speed by 30%

• Players entering a new Hellgate will now always receive a protection bubble

• Reduced selectivity of Hellgate matchmaking to provide a wider breadth of available matches to high infamy teams. (We’ll continue to monitor the Hellgate matchmaking to find a balance between frequency and quality of matches.)
• Lethal 10v10 Hellgate Entrance Base Item Power Requirement: 1200 → 1100
• Duration that Hellgate entrances revealed by Hellgate Maps persist on world / zone map: 60 minutes → 20 minutes

• Players can no longer be debuffed to the point where Healing Output is entirely nullified:
  • Minimum Value of Healing Received Bonus: -70%
  • Minimum Value of Healing Cast Bonus: -70%

• Instanced areas (i.e. Hideouts) and tunnel zones are now included in the queue functionality, meaning players can now skip overcrowded zones outside their Hideouts and can skip into tunnel zones
• Cluster Skipping is now possible when relogging into an overcrowded cluster
• The Smart Cluster Queue now also activates in all Royal Continent zones:
  • This change makes large-scale Faction Warfare battles possible on the Royal Continent
  • Each Faction counts as its own contingent
  • Cluster Access Priority settings do NOT impact Faction-flagged players
  • The queue assigns at least 50 spots per Faction, even if they are vastly outnumbered
  • 50 spots are also reserved for non-Faction-flagged players, to prevent Faction players from completely blocking zones for other players
• Improved the UI for cluster skipping:
  • Now all available zones are immediately selectable
  • Opening the world map will no longer cancel cluster selection
  • The cluster selection screen now provides more info about the cluster:
    • Tier and danger level (i.e. red or yellow) of the target cluster
    • Distance to the selected cluster (i.e. how many zones will be jumped)

• 10v10 Hellgates have been added alongside the existing 2v2 and 5v5 Hellgates
• Finding and entering a Hellgate has changed:
  • All sizes of Hellgate Entrance now have item power and group size requirements
  • Hellgates are now opened via Hellgate Maps, which can be used to reveal the Hellgate location in an adjoining zone, similar to Dungeon Maps:
    • Roads of Avalon (zones that allow Hideouts only): all types of maps can be used
    • Outlands: all types of maps can be used
    • Blue Zone (Tier 4): only 2v2 non-lethal Hellgate maps
    • Yellow Zone  (Tier 5): all non-lethal Hellgate maps
    • Red Zone (Tier 6+): all lethal Hellgate maps
  • Permanent Hellgate entrance locations in the open world have been removed (2v2 Hellgate entrances still spawn at random extremely rarely, but do not appear on zone maps)
  • Hellgate Maps can either be found as open-world drops or crafted at the Artifact Foundry
  • In 2v2 Hellgates only, players now have a debuff that reduces all Healing Cast by 10%
• Hellgate interiors have been completely updated with 10 all-new designs, each with unique terrain, environmental/architectural features, and mob layouts
• The ten Hellgate layouts exist for all group sizes and are selected at random, though some occur more rarely
• A new “rising lava” mechanic forces PvP fights into the center of the zone after a certain amount of time
• Hellgate mobs are more varied, and are based on the demonic enemies in Corrupted Dungeons
• In addition to returning to the surface after completing a Hellgate, groups can now “chain” directly into a new Hellgate
• Hellgates now use an Infamy system similar to Corrupted Dungeons, with higher Infamy increasing rewards earned
  • Each Hellgate type (2v2, 5v5, 10v10) has its own Infamy progression

• Stacks of Silver Bags will be consumed instantly and grant you the full amount of Silver
• Tomes of Insight and chests use a channeled spell, meaning the items are still consumed individually and the channel can be canceled at any point.
• The following items now have a “Use All” option:
  • All Silver Bags
  • All Tomes of Insight
  • All Reward Chests (will display an additional window showing accumulated loot): Adventurer’s Challenge Chests, Crystal League Chests, etc.

• Updated deactivation conditions: the queue can now be deactivated in the middle of an update cycle if player numbers allow
• Players will no longer be able to skip overcrowded clusters within the first 2 minutes of queue activation

  • 5 Targets = 32% → 20%
  • 6 Targets = 40% → 25%
  • 7 Targets = 40% → 30%
  • 8 Targets = 40% → 35%
  • 9+ Targets: remains at 40%

• Party leaders can now assign a Party Cluster Access Priority for their party as well as for individual members in the Cluster Access Priority UI (accessed via the party leader’s player context menu)
• Priority Access determines the order in which parties will enter an overcrowded cluster
• This gives alliances more control over which forces are moved into the cluster and keeps party structures intact
• The Preferred Cluster Access Guild Right has been removed
• The queue now moves players from a single contingent either in or out during a given cycle, so players of the same contingent no longer replace each other

• Disarray is no longer a flat debuff
• Instead, it reduces damage output and CC Duration when attacking targets with a lower Disarray level
• Against targets with the same or higher Disarray level, Disarray has no impact on your stats
• Damage reduction depends on the difference of Disarray levels between attacker and target – the higher the difference, the greater the effect
• Increased Disarray player cap; debuff now caps at Level 50 for 450 players

• 50 Players: Disarray Strength 18%
• 100 Players: Disarray Strength 28%
• 150 Players: Disarray Strength: 30% (hard cap)

• AoE Escalation max bonus: 100% → 70%
• Maximum Ability Damage Increase from buffs: +150% → +100%

• Hellgates: Lava Bomb is now categorized as a Damage spell (previously CC) – this may slightly alter how some builds are affected by the ability. Creatures that use this ability:
  • Veteran Fiendish Overlord
  • Veteran Vicious Overlord
  • Vicious Overlord
  • Sadistic Overlord

• Adjusted Hellgate matchmaking settings to make them more resistant to manipulation

• Damage taken from Hellgate Warden and Gatekeeper spells can no longer be reflected

• The penalty for receiving Healing from 2 sources has been increased:
  • Reduction in Healing Received: 30% → 35.3%

As a reminder, the following 3 attributes are affected by the debuff:

• Bonus Damage vs. Players
• CC Duration vs. Players
• Received Healing

• Alliance X has 100 players in Cluster A
• Alliance X also has 80 players in Cluster B, 50 of whom are waiting to enter Cluster A via the Smart Cluster Queue
• All Alliance X players in Cluster A would receive a Disarray debuff based on 150 players (100 in cluster + 50 in queue)
• All Alliance X players in Cluster B would receive a Disarray debuff based only on the 80 players in the cluster

Siphoned Energy Drain:

The penalty still starts at 10 Territories, but now increases in increments of 3%:

• 10 Territories – 3% less total Siphoned Energy
• 11 Territories – 6% less total Siphoned Energy
• 12 Territories – 9% less total Siphoned Energy, etc.

Fame and Silver Penalty:

The penalty now starts at 20 Territories and increases by 1% per additional territory:

• 20 Territories – 1% reduction in Silver and Fame earned from open-world PvE and activities
• 21 Territories – 2% Penalty
• 22 Territories – 3% Penalty, etc.

• T6 chests have been largely reverted to the status that they had on Queen’s launch as these chests were very popular with the player base.
• We have used the old T6 chest balancing as a baseline and set up T7 and T8 chests as strictly better versions of them.
• T7 chests no longer contain T4 loot and have higher drop chances for T7 and T8 loot than T6 chests
• T8 chests no longer contain T4 and T5 loot, and have much higher drop chances for T7 and T8 loot than T6 chests.

We hope that these changes will significantly improve the loot experience in the game.

• All players within an alliance will receive reduced Silver and Fame income if the alliance holds 10 or more territories (excluding Castles and Castle Outposts)
• This also applies to players in guilds without an alliance, if their guild holds 10 or more territories
• This penalty applies to all Fame gained from gathering and PvE and all Silver gained from mob drops and downed players
• This penalty starts at 1% with the 10th territory and increases by 1% per additional territory

Time penalties:

• First Respawn: no penalty
• Second Respawn: 30 seconds
• Third Respawn: 60 seconds
• Fourth Respawn: 120 seconds
• Fifth Respawn or more: 240 seconds

This is intended to prevent overuse of repeated-suicide defense strategies when defending Hideouts.

Previously, the following behavior occurred:

• Items with durability: 5% durability loss
• Items without durability: 10% destruction chance

After Patch 6:

• Items with durability: 5% durability loss (no change)
• Items without durability: immune to destruction

This change is intended to help introduce newer players to combat without item loss (i.e. in yellow zones), and to avoid situations where players were confused about what happened to items. It should also improve the overall loot experience in Elite Dungeons, where a large percent of loot was previously destroyed by being knocked down repeatedly.

Item destruction rate and durability loss rate upon death (killed by another player, suicide, etc.) are not affected by this change.

• Patch 5 introduced a 3-day cooldown for leaving and rejoining the same alliance. (This existed alongside the 7-day cooldown on joining a new alliance that was already in the game.)
• With today’s patch, the duration of this cooldown has been updated:
  • Alliance Rejoin Cooldown: 3 Days → 7 Days

• Minimum Item Power: 800 → 700
• This reduces the Smart Cluster Queue’s emphasis on high IP gear

• “Loot” channel now only displays items when picked up
• New “Silver” channel created
• Both can be enabled or disabled as desired

• Outlands Greater (5v5) Hellgate:
  • Gatekeeper Respawn time: 15min → 10min
  • Max number of Spawns per cycle: 80 → 100
• Outlands Lesser (2v2) Hellgate:
  • Gatekeeper Respawn time: 8min → 6min
  • Max number of Spawns per cycle: 80 → 100

In addition, Mastery Modifiers have been added to the Mastery Bonuses of high-tier equipment:

• 5% on all T5 items
• 10% on all T6 items
• 15% on all T7 items
• 20% on all T8 items

This bonus applies to all Armors, Weapons, and Offhands, and includes IP bonuses from basic Specializations as well as advanced Masteries. Enchanted gear will be calculated at the level of its base tier, i.e. T5.0 through T5.3 all receive the same 5% bonus.

Sample case: if you get an additional 100 IP from your Destiny Board Masteries for swords, using a Tier 6.2 Sword will give you a 10% additional boost to that Mastery bonus, for a total bonus of 110 IP.

While we’ve wanted to add more item loot to Mob Camps, traditional delivery methods don’t create the type of gameplay we’re looking for. If a chest spawns early, whoever gets there first wins. If it spawns late, we create a “King of the Hill” scenario until the chest spawns.

• More importantly, however, this can significantly improve the item loot of blue, purple, and legendary Caches – all of which can potentially be found in any Mob Camp.

Treasure Chests within the Mists are a great way to bring players together to fight for loot. However, they fail to bring smaller groups together, they don’t encourage newer players to compete, and they don’t offer conflict-averse players a chance to swipe the loot before others arrive.

For this reason, we’ve created Coffers that can be found throughout the Mists:

• Coffers work exactly like other Open World Treasures, with one exception: they only reveal their location to nearby players.

Item destruction rate and durability loss rate upon death (killed by another player, suicide, etc.) are not affected by this change.

• Patch 5 introduced a 3-day cooldown for leaving and rejoining the same alliance. (This existed alongside the 7-day cooldown on joining a new alliance that was already in the game.)
• With today’s patch, the duration of this cooldown has been updated:
  • Alliance Rejoin Cooldown: 3 Days → 7 Days

• Minimum Item Power: 800 → 700
• This reduces the Smart Cluster Queue’s emphasis on high IP gear

• “Loot” channel now only displays items when picked up
• New “Silver” channel created
• Both can be enabled or disabled as desired

• Outlands Greater (5v5) Hellgate:
  • Gatekeeper Respawn time: 15min → 10min
  • Max number of Spawns per cycle: 80 → 100
• Outlands Lesser (2v2) Hellgate:
  • Gatekeeper Respawn time: 8min → 6min
  • Max number of Spawns per cycle: 80 → 100

In addition, Mastery Modifiers have been added to the Mastery Bonuses of high-tier equipment:

• 5% on all T5 items
• 10% on all T6 items
• 15% on all T7 items
• 20% on all T8 items

This bonus applies to all Armors, Weapons, and Offhands, and includes IP bonuses from basic Specializations as well as advanced Masteries. Enchanted gear will be calculated at the level of its base tier, i.e. T5.0 through T5.3 all receive the same 5% bonus.

Sample case: if you get an additional 100 IP from your Destiny Board Masteries for swords, using a Tier 6.2 Sword will give you a 10% additional boost to that Mastery bonus, for a total bonus of 110 IP.
