Solved Arca War

So first of all Arca War it's a really cool event that doesn't work at all on most servers out there while on others it works partially correct and few of them got it fully working. Pretty sure not many people played Arca War so you need to get familiar with the event mechanics as the event is working fine.

Now, I was present during the whole event and as you can see the monsters did take damage: http://prntscr.com/amzt7e, http://prntscr.com/an08f2

Each boss gets affected by a certain element, same as the obelisk, so if you got no element or it's the incorrect one you won't do any damage at all.

Next, I was watching the exact moments when the decay sm was hitting the obelisk (he had the right element and protective bariers were disabled at that time as you need to do that if you want to take the obelisk) and he was damaging that obelisk as it's hp was decreasing every time (keep in mind that hp bar visually refills after 65535). Thing is, the obelisks seem to have way too much HP by default in private servers and multiplying elemental damage at the moment would make the event less interesting and because of that on our next server maintenance/reboot we shall nerf the obelisk hp to match the official server setting which is 500kk (default) and 300kk (when re-occupied) so it will be easier once this setting gets effective. Bosses don't need any changes as they already got the default attributes.


PS: You guys left Acheron before the event ended (around min 15-18)

 

I didn't said you were criticising and you're right, adjustments and some tests need to be done as it's not easy to test big events during beta, you need a live server with players for that. I just checked and the obelisks HP and it's correct, I was looking at the wrong towers last night thinking they had more hp than supposed to but it's all good as for that mob glitch you're talking about could have been caused (not sure though, it might not be one at all) by the monster database reload which randomly affects doppleganger sometimes too leaving an invisible mob while most of times works fine. Most likely after the next server restart/maintenance we'll know if that was the problem and we'll also adjust the event time to take place 2 hours earlier, however Arca War is a battle between guilds so not really sure how it reacts to 1 single registered guild without an oponnent. If needed we will setup a separate subserver for a couple of arca war tests too so we can restart the event and re-enter multiple times in a row.
