Fix the following:
- HP/MP looks horrible as green. Contrast is poor. Make the green much brighter or just return it to white (and yellow while maxed).
- Mystic's Stasis "Immune" works on Players and Bags. On this subject, can you rethink what is Stasis Immune? O1 Minions, Crystal Steeds and Clones for example would be nice changes.

Note: Please do not reply so I can edit this post as I find bugs.

Tomb Key

Tomb keys should start to show up in the store over the next few minutes.

Note that Tomb keys are more expensive than other keys (currently priced at 390 gold.) The Tomb is intended to be a rare dungeon, and this price should help us keep it that way. Eye

I may be wrong, but I have never noticed enemies to be immune to chain stasis. Now they have like 3 seconds of immunity after regaining their colors.
Chain stun is still possible.

Drops on boosted quest bosses

Alex forgot to mention: we approximately tripled the chance of getting a tincture or drake egg from the minions of "boosted" quest bosses (the Lich, the Ent and the Ghost King.) It may still be too low -- we'll wait to see the stats -- but its definitely better than it was before.

This build is dangerous

Three times today I have gone flashing red. I never flash red!
The time at the Tomb bosses, I didn't even see what hit me. I was just suddenly at 80HP

On the plus side though, the Tomb is fully doable with one or two maxed rogues. You just need the right strategy for the Ancients Eye

Damn the Tomb of the Anicent and Sphinx

My necro got killed by the Lord of the Jackal. Its HP went from full (600) to drained in less than like 1 sec, and my necro is a 5/6 one... Don't you think that it's a little bit too overpowered, especially for a game with perma death?

Framerate

My FPS is taking a nosedive far more quickly since the new build. Usually I could finish a few realms before the memory leak gets out of hand, now I'm lucky to finish one before the client starts slowing down. Considering the memory leak hasn't been fixed yet, I assume there is no simple solution to this problem?

I got 3 tincs from one ent. If only those would be useful somehow...

@GATO: I lost 6/6 necro. Full health one moment and death next. Haven't figured out how I died.

Submitted by GATO on Mon, 11/28/2011 - 06:58.

@Panadol

I replied your post on Tomb of Anicent too. I think the dungeon just turned out to be a godland rapetrain for half-maxed to full-maxed players. You just pack tight with each other, crawl, wait for someone in the team that heal, and pray not to die without noticing why.

Feedback

PLEASE get rid of the Leviathans. They are WAY too powerful, especially for fresh 20's in godlands, and cause the framerate to drop much more quickly than it used to because of the amount of projectiles they fire.

Also, there's way too many constructs in godlands now. You're constantly being fired at by them, no matter where you are in godlands.

I agree with Dengraz on the green HP/MP numbers. They look bad.
