Patch 1.0.2.4:New Mechanism of Mining

Posted in: 09-7-2009      by: macc

We’re going to release a new patch at 7:30 PM (PDT) on September 7, 2009. All five servers will be rebooted and down for about 15 minutes.

The patch will be downloaded and installed automatically when you run the game. If you have trouble with auto-updating, please download the manual patch from here, save it in your game folder “Destiny” and then double click on it to extract.

 

Here are the changes:

1. Modified the rules of Tribe membership

Once you quit your tribe, you need to wait for 24 hours before joining another tribe.

2. Modified the spawning mechanism of Sapphire

A Sapphire gem will disappear after 100 ores are dug.

3. Altered the drops of Soul Reaper

4. Added Level 110 MP Recovery and HP Recovery to the list of “Making Pills” at Pharmacist Jensen.

5. Optimized the client

Background music will be turned off when the game window is minimized and resumed when it is restored.

6. Added Kawaii Dress and Kawaii Suit (on sale soon)

7. Changed the drop rate mechanism of Fire Phoenix

The higher your level is, the lower the drop rate will be.

8. Enable Level 23 and 24 Deity Rune

9. Fixed some translation errors

10. The character Server Transfer Service is officially available.

    why “A Sapphire gem will disappear after 100 ores are dug” ? cos we in mining just for AFK if like this we cant AFK again can must play on…..
    dont make sapphire like rubys, cos rubys is rare now u make sapphire rare too… that bad.
    why dont make non PK at mining ?
    im agree with drop rate boss tribe “Changed the drop rate mechanism of Fire Phoenix” cos this for low level can kill boss not just high lv.. we low level want kill it too

    wow, guise. you just broke the game. where is all the sappire? it was bad enuff trying to find ruby. now i enter the pits and theres nothin.

    in my tribe, we used to mine in groups. chat if anythin whilst you wait to get the X amount needed… now as it seems, sapphires are getting rare. too many tribe members mining, not enuff sapphire for all of us ‘per day’/

    please revoke this one change. you’ll find that the majority will agree with this.

    Urgh. I strongly believe that making Sapphires limited is a bad idea. Coming from a fairly small tribe in a non-pk server, I’ve already heard lots of complaints about the change. I can’t even begin to imagine how larger tribes are coping, let alone tribes in pk servers – not only will people be pking in the tribal mining pit for Rubies, but now Sapphires as well.

    I thought the idea for mining was that it would help tribes build up stability and resources, and now it’s just going to be a cause for conflict.

    If anything I’d suggest that there be MORE Rubies put in, while Sapphires remain the unchanged – it’s inconvenient for players who can only play for a few hours, to visit the mining pit and find that it’s fresh out of Rubies. Again, speaking from a fairly small tribe, we already have that problem – so I dread to think how the larger tribes handle it.

    Not only that, but even though there are 100 attempts to mine, there’s still fail chance built-in, so the most you could probably get out of one Sapphire or Ruby is 60 or so.

    If there’s a problem with people going afk – then make the limit you can CARRY 100 each, so they have to deposit it after every 100. Also have a ‘lock’ or something so that you can’t have more than one person mining one Sapphire/Ruby at a time, and possibly invulnerability in the Tribal Mining Pit, to stop any pk-troubles.

    If it’s a problem with the amount of experience people are gaining from ‘not doing much’ then please just change that ! Halve the amount of exp people can get ! I really think that’s a much better option than limiting Sapphires.

    At the rate this is going, you might as well remove the mining system altogether – since it’s likely to cause more trouble than good.

    Okay, for a whole TWO hours, there have been no new Rubies spawning in the Tribal Mining Pit, as far as I can tell, this has applied to at least three tribes on the Giraffe server, if not all… what’s the deal?

  23. matoda Says:

    Another thing [gee this Patch is FULL of awesome goodness] – the new Kawaii Suits can’t be gemmed? Is that right? However it’s NOT like tails where it says that the gem type is mismatched, so you get to keep the gem – the Kawaii Suit is gemmed successfully AND there is no gem refinement/ability added to the costume! WHY is it like this? If it’s not gemmable – then PLEASE put it in the description, or have it so that it works like a tail and gems CANNOT be put on it, don’t just leave it for players to lose their gems! Or is that the plan all along?!

    As a bullion buyer I’m finding the current series of costumes abhorrent! First we spent bullions on costume items with no stats, and use aeonic pearls on them to perm them – THEN the perm headgears come out, WITH attributes. Just there we’ve lost 8 bullions or so already. THEN new versions of the costumes come out, permanent and with attributes, so now the costumes that we’ve bought and permed are redundant as well. Now a costume that could eat gems because it’s not stated anywhere that gems [even though SUCCESSFULLY refined] have no effect. And an event too that gives attributed tails? Now the tails will become redundant.

    What’s next? With the new expansion it’s mentioned that you can make vibrant costumes? So costumes are even more redundant? Or will they even have attributes?

    For all we know in another month or so you’ll start selling attributed costumes with MORE than the last batch, so it’ll make the old ones we bought redundant. Then selling attributed tails as well.

    For Pete’s sake, if you want us to buy bullions, we’re fine with it, but don’t blow us over by making our old items redundant. It’s bad enough we can’t even sell the old goods [even permed, gemmed, and with perfect durability] that more new stuff comes out. If you’re just going to keep doing it – TELL US WHAT YOU PLAN TO RELEASE SO WE STOP BUYING THINGS THAT WILL BECOME REDUNDANT. Or at least offer some trade-in system where we can offer our old gear for buying the new stuff at reduced prices. This is INSANE.

    @matoda,
    Sorry we didn’t inform you beforehands that Gems cannot be put onto Kawaii Dress and the message is wrong indeed but if you check your backpack, you will find that the gem that you were trying to put onto the suit is still there. It’s not consumed.

    hello,
    whats the relevance in making 100 ores per sapphire? i agreed with Bryan_Ork. its better the way it was before. rubies on the other hand should be increased their spawn rate according to the tribes level.
    and about the costumes, why dont u have military camouflage n western cowboy for girls?i think those would satisfy players more.
    Thank you.

    The new saph mechanism is stupid :(
    What we want is more ruby and you make the sapphire less.

    I like the changes 5,8 and 9 only… The other changes suck! Especially the new mining mechanism. They just want people to buy bullions, and avoid us from AFK. Transferring to another server– very expensive! Waahh!!

  27. ka0s Says:

    GM, if the mining mechanism was too be returned to the previous settings (alike when first implemented) all tribes would be settled with this.

    i dont care much for the costumes given the fact of the petfarms due to be released. but the mines, that is a direct effect to me and other high level players. i am currently lvl59 on a mission to max out my stats untill the clint states that exp cannot be gained untill i lvl up. with this i need to collect 44.5 million exp. i do boss hunt, i do pioneer hunt, and most of the time, i still have to rely on the mines for the additional exp;

    please please please sort the mines to there previous state, that is my only request. if you do decide to modify the mines further more, then increase the ruby spawn rate and leave the sapphire to the origonal state

    ka0s Reply:

    @ka0s, LOL! i just found myself PK’d. not even left the game for that long. at most 15mins whilst i checked my emails and such…

    PK’d over a sapphire. what has destiny become?

    [Reply]

  28. GM Dorothy Says:

    We’re asking the developer to make a patch to have more ores spawned in the open pit simultaneously. The total number will probably be the same as before. But the Sapphire will stay 100 digs to prevent tribe level, contribution and exp rocketing.
    The patch is scheduled to be out later this week or next week.
