AQWorlds Design Notes

aqw design notes

Paladin Chronomancer has felt a bit underwhelming as a support class, so we're making a few changes to its skills to improve its support capabilities. These changes together result in an overall increase in performance for the class. A set of changes to make the class stronger, more dynamic, and more flexible. Now is very receptive to builds, and is a late-game solo class with end-game uses. Blood Price will no longer kill you as well. Therefore, the Blood Ancient rework aims to bring a fresh take to dodge classes, while also giving it a more vampire-like feel.

Adventure Quest - The Classic Fantasy RPG

Applies Blood Boon, increasing your Crit Chance and Haste by 30% for 12 seconds. While empowered, all non lifesteal healing you receive is negated. Deals increased damage the lower your HP is. Blood Titan's skills have been reworked to make the class more engaging to play, while preserving some of the traits that originally made the class unique. Several changes have been made to make the class stronger and smoother to play.

Friday, April 26: Update Details

Reduced the stat buffs from the Unleashed Doom and Darkness auras, but drastically increased the base damage of all skills. Solo damage should be slightly higher than before and damage in parties should be significantly increased. Also made adjustments to the class's utility, reduced MP costs, and increased the duration of the Darkness auras.

Rewards of Madness

aqw design notes

As a show of gratitude for your service, the Arcana guides you on their own personal journey - one that will lead to transformation, and harnessing the power of the Primordial. You'll need to be level 80 to begin farming the Arcana Invoker Class, but we've dark new gear for EVERY hero this weekend! Battle monsters in the /Garden, /Astravia, and /Astraviajudge for wicked reward drops. While working on Willow Creek, the team noticed that the new game did not look "as alive" as the existing AQWorlds.

DOOM & Dragon Rewards

Blood Titan's farming method has been updated. Blood Titan Tokens no longer drop from the Blood Titan bosses, but are instead now rewarded from Shi Mar's reworked quests. The class cost has also been reduced to 200 Blood Titan Tokens. Additionally, Titan's Gilded Crusher now provides a 30% damage boost to all monsters, but it no longer drops from Ultra Blood Titan. Instead, it is now purchasable for 1,000 Blood Titan Tokens in Shi Mar's merge shop.

12-12 Event Releases at Sundown!

Any existing Scrolls of Talon Twisting that you have will be turned into Scrolls of Bane. This week's treasure can be found without too much hunting. (After last week's Eclipse event, Caddeus, the Tuesday update designer, was feeling kind!) Head to the /undergroundlab and talk to Artix. In his Merge Shop, you'll find a new pet who is Cuter on the Outside.

Top Priority Bugs List

Bite into your target, inflicting a devastating wound. Deals increased damage the lower your HP is and heals you for a portion of the damage dealt. Feasting on your target temporarily exposes you, reducing your Dodge by 100%. Also applies Blood Loss, reducing your target's Haste by 30% while inflicting a DoT that increases the lower your HP is.

Keep your account safe. Never share your password.

To reduce this gap, we're slightly reducing the enhancement's base damage, but it should still remain a viable endgame option that reflects the difficulty it takes to obtain. We've got a lot of changes in store for this week, which include updates to various classes, enhancements, quests, monsters, and a replacement for an existing scroll. Please spread the message that players should NEVER use the same password on multiple sites. A lot of players use the same name and password on other (and older) sites. The danger (and probably what is happening in this case) is the hackers will search for player names on the dark web. If a player used the same password on multiple sites, and one of those sites was breached, the hacker will take the info they find and test it against our games to see if they work.

But having an outline in hand lets us plan what the team should work on ahead of time. Just want a couple of the items listed above? Apart from the exclusive pet, all of the gear contained inside the Hai Kyuute!! Collection chest shop will also be available to buy individually in the Anime Fan shop from Nekomimi in /akiba. She also has a House Shop where you can buy all of the house items separately. This is a class that didn’t need that much of a buff to become balanced.

The NPCs are not animated and do not blink. So the the content team lost their minds and started rebuilding the NPCs as fully functional actors with all of the player animations. (I love this about this team so much.) This happened while I was out of the country. Both Zhoom and I were out of the country-- hence the eerie radio silence. The original AQWorlds has a whole lot of super weird bugs baked into it.

We've read your responses to the Legion Paladin rework and we're making changes based on your feedback! One of the most brought up topics was in regards to how Souls and Spirits felt detached from each other, as they couldn't be used in unison very well. Also by popular request, we've extended the duration of its Focus aura, but have adjusted the damage and cooldown of the skill to match other Focus applying skills. As a result of these changes, Legion Paladin became a lot stronger than initially intended, so some balance changes were made. Maximum damage output should be relatively the same as before, but some of the survivability aspects were adjusted. Also adjusted Arcane Shield to be active more frequently.

Our flood of Spring updates continues this week with new rewards, rares, and the arrival of some much-anticipated gear. Get the latest details on this week's news, Treasure Hunt, Boosts, find out more about this weekend's new update. Recently, we've gotten questions about a few screenshots that show a list of hacked accounts and their login information. These accounts were "stolen" when players shared their account information.

Player support has been being spammed by these individuals as they attempt to use compromised accounts to trick the team or other players into giving them information. We have reset any reported accounts back to their original owner with a randomized password. This class presented an interesting challenge in design- it was already strong (if underappreciated), and aligning its damage types and stat model would have made it far too powerful.

Use a unique password for your game accounts. This set was originally designed by fellow AQWorlds player Aze and recreated in Flash by Darkon. It was an awesome idea and we were thrilled to get to bring his design to life.
