Overview:
Kraken is a low rate, challenging and rewarding experience for everyone to enjoy. With the help of the community, hours have been poured into testing and development to make Kraken truly unique. We will continue to refine existing and introduce new features on a regular basis. More on the plans for future content will be mentioned at the end of the thread.
Systems:
Firstly, we’ll cover all the new systems that have been introduced to Kraken, then go on to cover the general gameplay changes in the form of a huge patch list.
Questing:
Quests have been completely rewritten in all areas of Kraken, providing a fresh and exciting experience for new and returning players. One of the main aspects of quests is the ability to gain Fame, which is required to unlock more rewarding daily quests.
* Fame:
Fame is rewarded from completing quests and daily quests. Fame can also be gained from killing wanted players, be careful though, it can just as easily be lost by killing innocent players. At certain fame points players receive different titles. These titles will not only be shown for all to see, but will reward players with far better daily quests.
* Starting Area:
In Kraken we have completely overhauled the early experience of the game. There is now a dedicated starting town which is created to be streamlined and customised. The area comprises the town itself filled with new quests and a cave to the north.
* Story Quests:
As mentioned above all the main story quests have been rewritten from scratch. The intention of the story quests is to take you to around level 40. After the main story has finished you are left to explore the world of Kraken. There will still be plenty of daily quests to complete to support various playstyles.
* Daily Quests:
Daily quests are another new addition, closely linking in to the Fame system. The quality of daily quests depends on the amount of Fame the player has. Daily quests are reset at 1am, and are limited to 3 quests per day, so be wise in what quests you decide to accept. Dailies can be found on notice boards and are indicated by a blue quest icon both in game, on the minimap and the quest tracker. The daily quest cap can be increased by +1 per time to a maximum of 6.
Levelling:
Levelling in Kraken is designed to be enjoyable yet challenging. We appreciate the level experience can get a little mundane, hence the two types of questing above to keep players busy. There are plenty of new systems in place to break your journey in Kraken up, from the very in-depth profession system to chasing those server first achievements (both systems discussed in detail below). Currently the level cap is set to 80 but this is not the end by any means. After reaching level cap, hermit levelling will become available alongside many new solo caves, group caves, bosses, recipes, achievements, dailies and much more.
* Champion Monsters:
Champion monsters spawn randomly throughout the world of Kraken, their spawn rate is extremely rare and they are an incredibly difficult foe. Any monster has the chance to become champion, with the exclusion of boss monsters. Champions reward a huge amount of gold and are currently the only way to find Refinement Stones used for Master Refining. If the champion is at a similar level to the player, it would be advised to seek assistance before engaging.
* Hermit Levelling:
Hermit levelling is enabled once maximum level is reached, the player continues to gain enhanced hermit points enabling them to increase their characters power. This provides the opportunity to wear restricted items and allows us to keep content relevant for all maximum levels, regardless of hermit level. Hermit levels are indicated next to the character level in brackets and the experience bar will turn blue when gaining experience toward hermit levels. More information on possible stats to follow.
Hermit System:
The hermit system works in much the same way as the existing system. The rewards per point have been reworked and balanced according to the experience rates and scale of the server. Possible stats are as follows:
Honour:
By engaging in PvP during a Sabuk Wall Wars, you will be rewarded with honour. Having higher honour gains the player better PvP based titles and the opportunity to spend their honour at the Quartermaster, located in Sabuk Wall.
Group Play:
Group play has been completely reworked for extra rewards. On top of expanding upon the group buffs, a whole new group dialog has been developed.
* Group Dialog:
By combining Shift + P the group members dialog will be opened. The dialog will list all of the current players, with health and mana bars, along with buffs and current poison status. This will make keeping an eye on group members much easier, especially for Tao's as there is a lot of functionality to help them support their groups. Hovering over the group member will target them, so from a PVE standpoint, buffs and heals get delivered directly to the target. This also solves issues where it's hard to target players for resurrecting.
* Pet Dialog:
Much the same as above, the group dialog has been extended to pets. Instead of cluttering the group dialog, pet dialogs are separate and are unique to the player, making it easy not to mix pets up. The pet dialog is accessed through combining Shift + O.
* Taoist Buffs:
A few changes have been made to the way taoist buffs work with pets. All buffs that are cast on the taoist himself will be inherited by that taoist’s pets. This is also the case when summoning your pets; they will automatically inherit any buffs that are currently on the taoist with the remaining duration. Tao buffs also scale dynamically based on the casters SC.
Guild Levelling System:
Guild Levelling has been introduced into the world of Kraken. Each guild member will contribute experience to the overall levelling of the guild. This contribution is not deduced from the players experience but is an additional amount based on the experience received. The dialog will now show the overall experience contribution of certain guild members in the members tab, and will also come with perks at certain levels. Spaces have been reserved for future content updates.
The current perks are as follows:
Companion Filter & Dialog:
A highly customisable companion filter has been added to Kraken, giving players that extra bit of control over their companions. As well as a handy tooltip to show what the possible stats are for each level.
Augmentation:
Augmentation NPCs have settled in most of the major towns which can enhance items belonging to players. Runes are dropped by monsters on your travels, it is these runes that the augmentation NPCs need in order to augment an item. The item's rarity will determine the available sockets that can be augmented.
Augmented items can be reset at a cost. This process usually destroys the runes within the item. However, there are special extractors that increase the likelihood that these runes will be saved.
Mystery Boxes:
Mystery Boxes provide the player a chance to obtain items. Mystery Boxes contain a random chance to receive items at set amounts and random ranges.
Professions:
Professions have been added to the world of Kraken. Professions are limited to one per character and are dependent on Crafting Reagents and Recipes. Crafting Reagents are gathered through various means, such as being dropped from and harvesting monsters, as well as other activities like mining. Recipes are another component of the crafting system and are obtained through vendors, quests and monster drops. Each profession is viable and will need crafting reagents that only other professions can craft. Currently there are 4 main professions: Blacksmithing, Leatherworking, Alchemy and Runecrafting. Crafted items also show who they were crafted by, making it easier to locate characters with good profession progression and recipes. The profession dialog can be accessed by combining Shift + C.
Achievements:
Achievements range from killing numerous monsters, levelling, capping out professions and even server firsts. It has been designed from the ground up so anything is possible, making for much more of a unique experience. Characters can earn achievement points by completing achievements and points will vary on the difficulty of the achievement. Naturally, server first achievements will reward players with more achievement points. Some achievements also come with titles, which players will have the opportunity to display in-game to others, giving them the ultimate bragging rights. Server first titles are unique and will only be obtained by 1 character throughout the life of the server (I can appreciate this will be music to the competitive players ears). Server First and Group First achievements are announced globally upon completion. Achievements are fully passive, they will start automatically when killing or collecting eligible resources, or whatever that achievement may require. They will also complete automatically rewarding you with your achievement points and that unique title. There is an additional rankings tab based on achievement points. Achievements can be accessed by combining Shift + Q.
Rifts:
Rifts are dynamically generated instances, which can be augmented with modifiers to increase rewards and difficulty. Upon creating Rifts a random map will be assigned and populated with random monsters around the Rift owners level. There are multiple difficulties of Rift and each come with their own base modifiers:
Rifts can be augmented with up to 3 KeyStone Modifiers. KeyStone Modifiers currently come with a combination of the following stats: Monster Health, Monster Damage, Drop, Exp, Gold Rates and also an extra Monster Spawn percentage. Normally each modifier with a beneficial modification will be countered with a negative one, as the rarity of the modifier increases not only will the beneficial modifier increase but the negative one will decrease.
Rifts have a time limit of 60 minutes to complete. After defeating all the monsters in the Rift, a Rift Guardian will appear and be visible on the players map. Defeating the Rift Guardian will have a chance of dropping KeySones and KeyStone Modifiers along with Rift Shards. Rift Shards are a currency which can be spent at a Rift Keeper in most towns. The Rift Keeps shop will change periodically making it beneficial to save up Rift Shards.
We designed the Rift system to give players repeatable dynamic content and depending on the difficulty of the Rift they can be very challenging. Rifts are suitable for both Solo and Group play as they can be modified to suit. The experience isn't intended to replace any of the standard exploration or levelling systems, hence why Rifts do not spawn Sub/Boss monsters.
Charm System:
Additional inventory slots have been added for charms. There are 6 charm slots all together and they unlock as the player levels.
Atlas:
Atlas is our global lookup tool and can be accessed by combining Shift + A. It currently supports searching of items, monsters and achievements. Results can be searched via a name search or filter.
Accessory Refining:
Accessory refining has been reworked; it operates much in the same way as before apart from a few differences. There is now a cost to level up and refine your accessories, paired with an overall success chance. The success chance and cost of refining is displayed in both the level up and refine dialog, giving players the option to decide whether that specific item will be worth refining. A special slot has also been introduced with some new stats to aid in the refining process. Success Chance will increase the overall chance of success, whilst Cost Reduction will reduce the cost of the refinement.
Closing Statement:
There are many systems and quality of life features that have been added, but in the interest of keeping this advertisement shorter I’ll have to skip explaining these in detail. I will include them in the huge patch list below and give them a little explanation there.
Future System & Content Plans:
We are planning to add content to the server in the way of 'content updates'. This will come in the form of new content or systems and will be slightly more infrequent than regular patches, as we will have to thoroughly test before deploying them to the live server. Patches will be on a much more frequent basis, most likely daily and will include fixes for bugs and balancing issues as they arise.
Patch Notes:
* Many balancing and bug fixes haven’t been listed due to the length of the post but are available here: https://www.krakenmir.co.uk/patch-notes (the full patch log from the beginning)
