Patch 1.2 Live
18.03.2008, 22:22 by Ara
|
Nach fünf Monaten gibt es endlich den zweiten größeren Patch für Hellgate: London und ein weiteres zum Release versprochenes Feature kommt hinzu und zwar die In-Game Mail! Also wer sein Game noch nicht verbrannt hat, kann ja mal in den Kommentaren berichten ob ein Wiedereinstieg sich lohnt. Patch Notes gibt es unter read more.
In-Game Mail
Characters can now send and receive mail from any other character,
including characters within the same account. Mail consists of text
messages, and one item of any size and any amount of Palladium can be
attached for delivery. Here are some of the features of the mail
system.
- Mail can be read anywhere in the game via the Mail panel. This can
be accessed using the Z key or using the Mail icon located underneath
the chat panel.
- Items and Palladium can only be attached or removed from mail while the character is in a Station.
- Mail can be sent to any player whose name is known,
regardless of whether they are online or not. You can only send mail to
one character at a time or to your entire guild.
- Mail is only stored for a certain amount of time. The mail
panel shows how long each message has left before it is automatically
deleted. Different types of mail (such as those with attachments or
unread mail) may stay in your inbox for longer or shorter periods of
time.
- While you can send mail to character in a different mode
(Hardcore, Elite, and Hardcore Elite) you cannot attach items or
Palladium in a cross-mode email. This follows the same rules as trading
items.
- You can’t mail quest items or non-tradable items (such as Dye Kits or a Skill Retrainer).
General
- Adjusted difficulty of the Nightmare endgame. Decreased the
ramp of the damage penalty that players face against monsters higher
than their level.
- Fields from different sources can now stack. Please note that
the graphics from new fields still override those of previous fields.
- Players must now wait 5 seconds before they can re-enter a Hellrift.
- Fixed a bug which caused weapons to disappear when swapping weapon sets in the middle of performing certain skills.
- Fixed a bug which caused the /played command to display the incorrect amount of time played.
- If a player dies during (or just before) a cut-scene begins
playing or the game begins loading, the re-spawn options menu will come
up after the cut-scene or loading screen is completed.
- Vendor inventories in Nightmare difficulty should now be stocked with Nightmare-level items.
- The Shock effect now deals damage immediately when it’s applied.
- Several character and monster animations have been improved.
- Fixed known Blueprint exploits.
- Fixed a bug which sometimes caused files to require unnecessary patching.
- Fixed a bug which caused the mini-game to become stuck if the
player zoned to town or quit the game immediately after completing a
round of the mini-game.
Stonehenge
Moloch
- The Necro Fall zone has an increased monster spawn density of
approximately 25% and the monsters are now 2 levels higher than before.
- Moloch has been further increased in difficulty, as well as
being more resistant to Ignite and Ignite Damage. Be sure you’re well
prepared before attempting to defeat him in Hardcore Elite Mode!
- Moloch now has a chance to drop the following additional, extra-rare loot for every player who defeats him:
-
1% chance to drop an Attribute Retrainer. This item allows a character
to “zero out” all points put into attributes (Accuracy, Strength,
Stamina, and Willpower) and freely reassign them. These items are
tradable between all players.
- 5% chance to drop one of a new class of dye kits
that have intrinsic properties. These properties scale with the level
of the item, so one gained from Moloch at level 50 will be better than
one gained from Moloch at level 30. These dye kits are tradable between
subscribers. In order of least rare to most rare:
- Earth Core Dye Kit: Health regeneration
- Dark Vengeance Dye Kit: + to luck
- Indigo Fire Dye Kit: Electricity “thorns damage” effect
- Copper Sky Dye Kit: + to all Elemental special effect defense
- Ivory Haze Dye Kit: + to Shields
- Vanquish Dye Kit: +1 level of Sprint skill (this does not scale)
- Cold Steel Dye Kit: + to Armor
- Black Knight Dye Kit: + to all attributes
The Wild
- The Wild zone has a 20% higher monster spawn.
- The Foreboding Wild zone has a 30% higher monster spawn.
- The Deepest Wild zone has a 40% higher monster spawn.
- Even more champion monsters can be found in all the Wild zones
- Champion monsters in all Wild zones have a 1-in-250 chance to
drop one of six new, Unique weapons. These weapons scale with the level
of the champion dropping the weapon. These weapons are tradable between
subscribers.
- Convulsor – a Sniper Rifle
- The Exterminator – a Heavy Rifle
- Novastorm – a Nova Gun
- The Unyielding Moon – a Sword
- Slipnaught – a Focus Item
- Alucard’s Continuum – a Dart Pistol
- A new boss monster, The Desiccator, has a 25% chance of
appearing in The Deepest Wild zone. He should be extremely hard to
kill, particularly solo or in small parties. As his health constantly
regenerates, there is no guarantee a party will ever be able to kill
him.
- When defeated, The Desiccator has a 20% chance to drop a “Mysterious Egg.”
- When placed in the Transmogrifying Cube, a Mysterious Egg will
hatch into one of three new “pets with abilities”. These new pets and
the Mysterious Egg are not tradable. These pets are:
- Nautilus – occasionally heals all friends in range
- Revenant – occasionally fires a spectral missile at enemies
- Heap Raptor – breaks all those pesky crates for you
General Stonehenge Updates

- Maggots summoned by Wurm will now automatically die upon Wurm’s death.

- The Lightning now looks like a giant robot as intended.

- Fixed a bug which sometimes caused collection side-quest counters to count down under certain conditions.
-
Players can now drop the train part quest items for the “…All the Live
Long Day” quest. Also players may no longer pick up these items if they
do not have the quest active or if they already have the item.
- Any leftover blueprint items from the “Threshold” quest will now be removed.
- Players who have more than one of an un-droppable quest items now have the option to destroy all but one of these items.
User Interface / Controls
- Some UI panels have been improved.
- Fixed two bugs which caused the automap fog of war to be reset either when using a PRD or in levels with hellrifts.
- Added class and character level to the party member windows.
- Improved the /whisper and /reply interface.
- Shift-activation should now work for skills granted by items.
- The [Shift], [Ctrl], and [Alt] keys are now re-mappable, and may be set as key-modifiers.
- The [ACCEPT] button on the trade panel now greys out for 3 seconds after the trade terms are changed by either player.
- Fixed a bug which would omit some guild members in the guild member list for very large guilds.
Graphics
- Fixed an issue where backgrounds would flicker or disappear.
Graphics (DX10 Only)
- Various distortion effects have been fixed.

Skills

skills now have new names to represent their different effects or make
more sense within the context of the character class.
Hunter
- Fixed a bug that sometimes caused grenades to not fire properly when the skill is being repeated.
Phase Grenade
- Fixed a bug which caused the Phase Grenade to
not receive the proper Attack Rating from the user. This caused the
Phase Grenade to do less damage than intended against armored targets
(but did not affect damage done to Shields).
Tactical Stance
- Now also gives a base Firing Accuracy bonus of 50.
-
Changed the Critical Chance bonus effect (3% at rank 1 and 1% per

seconds at rank 1, increasing by 1 second per additional rank.
- The rank cap on this skill has been increased from 5 to 7.

Marksman
Rebounder Rounds (formerly Ricochet)
“The Marksman uses modified ammunition that has a chance to ricochet off enemies and walls.”
-
This skill is now an Active skill. You must use this skill in order to
gain the effect and functions similarly to how “fire both weapons”
works.
- There is no power cost for using this skill.
-
This skill has a chance to proc its effect (based on the skill and
increasing based on the rank of the skill) for each individual firing
of the skill. Since its effect is no longer dependent upon landing a
critical hit, the effect of this skills will be seen much more commonly
at all skill ranks and character levels.
- This skill has indirect synergies with the other skills
in the “Ballistics” line. Each rank in Rebounder Rounds has a chance
(albeit smaller) to proc when either Ravager Rounds or Concussion
Rounds are used.
- EXAMPLE: The first rank of Rebounder Rounds gives a
10% chance for shots to ricochet while using Rebounder Rounds. Due to
skill synergy, Ravager Rounds and Concussion Rounds have a 7% chance
for this effect to occur while using either of those skills.
Ravager Rounds (formerly Reflected Shot)
“The Marksman uses modified ammunition that has a chance to blow through and subsequently retarget additional enemies.”
-
This skill is now an Active skill. You must use this skill in order to
gain the effect and functions similarly to how “fire both weapons”
works.
- There is no power cost for using this skill.
-
This skill has a chance to proc its effect (based on the skill and
increasing based on the rank of the skill) for each individual firing
of the skill. Since its effect is no longer dependent upon landing a
critical hit, the effect of this skills will be seen much more commonly
at all skill ranks and character levels.
- This skill has indirect synergies with the other skills
in the “Ballistics” line. Each rank in Ravager Rounds has a chance
(albeit smaller) to proc when either Rebounder Rounds or Concussion
Rounds are used.
- EXAMPLE: The first rank of Ravager Rounds gives a
3% chance for shots to blow through and re-target a new enemy while
using Ravager Rounds. Due to skill synergy, Rebounder Rounds and
Concussion Rounds have a 2% chance for this effect to occur while using
either of those skills.
Concussion Rounds (replaces Homing Shot)
“The Marksman uses modified ammunition designed for maximum impact.”
-
This skill is now an Active skill. You must use this skill in order to
gain the effect and functions similarly to how “fire both weapons”
works.
- There is no power cost for using this skill.
-
This skill increases the Interrupt Strength (indirect chance to proc)
of the Marksman’s weapons (based on the skill and increasing based on
the rank of the skill) while the skill is used.
- This skill has indirect synergies with the other skills
in the “Ballistics” line. Each rank in Concussion Rounds increases
Interrupt Strength (albeit by lesser amount) when either Ravager Rounds
or Rebounder Rounds are used.
- EXAMPLE: The first rank of Concussion Rounds gives a
12% increased Interrupt Strength for shots fired while using Concussion
Rounds. Due to skill synergy, Ravager Rounds and Rebounder Rounds have
a 8% increased Interrupt Strength when using either of those skills.

Rapid Fire
- Now clears Multishot when used.
Multishot
- This skill has been moved under Weapon Master
in the skill tree. It required two points in Weapon Master to unlock,

Bill Roper gesteht Fehler ein
26.02.2008, 10:56 by Ara
|
Bill Roper hat nun gegenüber den Kollegen von CVG Fehler bei Hellgate: London eingestanden. So erwähnte er, dass sie einfach zuviel auf einmal wollten. Singleplayer, Multiplayer, DirectX10 und Ping0 waren einfach zuviel. Ausserdem äußerte er sich auch noch direkt zum Release "Das Spiel hätte einigen Monaten mehr Entwicklungszeit vertragen können, jedoch hatten wir nicht die Möglichkeiten dazu. Die Herausforderungen für ein unabhängiges Studio sind um einiges größer, als für einen Entwickler der einem Publisher gehört."Naja Bill... Das hätten wir dir auch zwei Wochen nach dem Release sagen können.

Gamesports.de im neuen Look
17.02.2008, 19:59 by Ara
|
Was lange währt, wird endlich gut. So könnte man den Release des neuen Gamesports.de Designs auch betiteln. Nach vier Jahren war ein Neuanstrich auch mehr als überfällig. Gamesports.deim neuen Look, was heißt das nun genau für euch?
Vielleicht ist es einigen schon aufgefallen, dass Gamesports sich im
letzten Jahr stark weiterentwickelt hat. Vor allem mit dem Release der
Netzwerkseiten MyHellgate.de, MyStarCraft.de, und MyTeamFortress.de und den vielen weiteren die folgen werden, gab es große Veränderungen. Gamesports.de wird sich nun verstärkt auf die Wurzeln des Netzwerkes
fokusieren und zwar dem Broadcasting. Ab jetzt werden nicht nur die
täglichen Casts und Streams angezeigt, sondern auch die
kommenden und laufenden Events redaktionell begleitet. An einigen
Stellen auf der Seite sind noch die fleißigen Bauarbeiter am
werkeln und so wird die Seite noch nach und nach mit einigen neuen
Features auftrumpfen. Wir
von MyHellgate.de wünschen euch viel Spaß auf der
neuen Page.

TEAM ADVOCATE PROGRAM
What is the Team Advocate Program
The goal of our Team Advocate Program is to amass the feedback,

every aspect of Hellgate: London is as enjoyable as possible.
What are Team Advocates
Team Advocates are players that volunteer their free time to assist the
Hellgate: London development team by providing testing, compilations of
player feedback, general feedback on proposed changes, and new ideas on
ways to improve their area of the game. Team Advocates also have a
secondary mission of helping to keep the player base informed on
Flagship Studios' positions on issues related to their topics.
The primary objective of the Team Advocate is to properly understand
and clearly and constructively articulate the relevant issues in their
respective fields faced by players. Secondary goals are to perform
specific testing and otherwise collect pertinent data to help determine
balance issues or pertinent bugs. Team Advocates will be required to
write and submit reports at intervals determined by the Team Advocate
coordinator, listing the top issues regarding their associated area of
the game. For example, for a Class Team Advocate, these issues may
include the balance, functionality, or overall feel of individual
skills, skill groups, items, or item types available to the class,
attribute benefits and requirements, performance in PvE and PvP
situations, group utility or viability, and bugs associated with their
class.
Being a Team Advocate requires a significant commitment of time and
attention that should be viewed as a voluntary labor of passion.

-- Guardian
-- Marksman
-- Summoner

Heute neuer Versuch mit Patch 1.0
22.01.2008, 12:47 by Ara
|
Nachdem es gestern so einigen Probleme mit dem Patch gab, wird heute ein neuer Versuch unternommen. Am heutigen Abend soll sowohl auf den US-, als auch auf den EU-Servern endlich der Patch 1.0 aufgespielt werden. Als kleinen trost könnt ihr euch den Patch hier aber schon saugen. Drücken wir die Daumen, dass es heute Abend klappen wird.
|

Update: Patch 1.0 mit Problemen
21.01.2008, 22:02 by Ara
|
Update:
Eines von dem hier ist ein Witz:
1. "Treffen sich zwei Jäger im Wald, einer kritisch"
2. "I assure you that it isn't a February kind of thing. -- Scapes"
Ursprüngliche Meldung: Wie einige von euch sicher festgestellt haben, ist der Patch immer noch nicht auf den Servern aufgespielt worden. Neben einigen Übersetzungsfehlern hat man es bei Flagship auch hinbekommen die falschen Skills in den Patch zu packen. Das heißt in ihrer aktuellen Patchversion befinden sich Skilländerungen, welche erst mit einem späteren Patch hätten erscheinen sollen. Momentan wird daran gearbeitet die alten Skills wieder herzustellen.
Ein neues Datum wann Patch 1.0 erscheinen soll ist nicht bekannt.
|
|
Patch 1.0 am Montag
19.01.2008, 21:29 by Ara
|
Nach fast drei Monaten ist es endlich soweit, der erste Content-Patch für Hellgate: London wird live gehen. Am 21. Januar, besser gesagt am Montag, werdet ihr in der Lage sein diesen Patch zu saugen. Für Subscriber gibt es die neuen Gebiete rund um Stonehenge und einige andere Überraschungen. Nicht Subscriber können immerhin mit Verbesserungen am Interface und Balanceänderungen rechnen. Auch eine PvP Arena steht nun jedem zur Verfügung.
|
|
Hellgate: London nun auch ohne Kreditkarte
16.01.2008, 11:49 by Ara
|
Wer in den Genuß von Stonehenge kommen möchte, der muss bekannterweise ja ein Abo für 9,99 Euro im Monat abschließen. Bis jetzt war dies lediglich per Kreditkarte möglich, doch rechtzeitig vor dem Patch gibt es nun auch neue Möglichkeiten. Zwar geht eine Bezahlung per Bankeinzug immer noch nicht, jedoch dürft ihr nun zumindest mit PayPal oder PaybyCash den Leuten rund um Bill Roper das Geld zustecken.
