The Return of Swadia

[Jean Badou]

Oh damn, I saw that my aventurier grew fat with the new year celebrations and lost 2 athletics ... oh wait, he's not aventurier anymore ?

Jokes aside, here are my thoughts about that update :

• In terms of gameplay balance, I think 12 shield skill on RG is a bit high as 10 was enough to shield for a while without any problem on ragnarok, especially with a high tier shield. The ironflesh increase on RG and juggernaut zwei is appreciated but won't fix the one hits from some nords, especially those who use two handed sword, or blunt weapons.
  

In my opinion, merging heroes after all time will only reduce the diversity of playstyles in the game, while having fewer class restrictions on items would have been a better way to do it.

• That new legendary scrapping sounds like a nice addition to the mod, gives something to do with the least wanted legendaries and giving them more value than their house crafted counterparts.
  
• Getting back to the old system with monthly upgrades is something most of the community will probably dislike, in my opinion, having all upgrades available at all times was much better for everyone.
  

I think it would be nice to keep the athletics skills on zweihander to their former level, and make pavise champion get the extra athletics aventurier had, respectively 7 and 9, so we could still use these classes like before (except for PoL which isn't usable by zwei anymore). I also think all archers heroes should get the same amount of athletics as the skirmisher heroes, just let everyone enjoy some running speed.

PS : I'm really hoping for an actual client update to fix the few incorrect stats (mostly weight) on upgraded legendaries (especially BH ornate scale armor) that have been reported few years ago.

This is not intended to happen.  It just takes a lot of time to go through every recipe manually.  and they couldn't be done ahead of time because they were live.

That's a big relief. Thanks Q and Winter!

Hi nice Update - but what about the Legendary Essence crafting on Lvl 24 its empty... Is it still in Update thats coming ?

Is this really intended or can we only craft Legendary Essence from salvaging/distilling legendaries?

It is correct that there is no recipe at level 24 Support. Currently, the only way to obtain Legendary Essence is looting it or deconstructing existing legendary items. There are plans for future uses and ways to obtain Legendary Essence.
