Few Issues

Only been playing ALT P for a few days so i may or not know if this stuff is correct but please inform me if i am doing something wrong.

Cold Steel Flanged Mace does not have a type 1 augment slot. Now im not sure if any of the Cold Steel weapons have augment slots or not i just figured it would be nice if they did so i can add the magic dmg augs to it.

Everything in Alt P is procing a 350 Lifetap, At first i thought just the bosses did this but within the last 10 mins A Grim Batling did it and killed me while farming the bloods and skulls for a quest.. IT WAS NOT A NAME!

Like i said im not sure if the 350 lifetap thing is post to be there but i talked to a fellow ALT P player and he said they never did this to him before and this and he has done ALT P on 2 other toons.

Technically I am no longer in charge of this, but:

1. Cold Steel items do not have augment slots - this is intentional. Because you will upgrading them to Gleaming Steel, and any inserted augments would go POOF during the upgrade. The Gleaming Steel weapons do have augment slots


2. On lifetaps - well everything was fine.. not that long ago. Most of batling are necros, and use necro spell list. It is possible that necro spells got soem upgrades, which in turn affected all npcs who also use those spells.

Thought again - they could be just chain-casting the lifetap ;) this may depend on your level - if they are higher than you - they will be very deadly. When I play tested the content, I avoided them till about lev 20

For the record, out of named mobs- Bat Lord is VERY tough to kill. When you start doing the named - start with Master Dax - this is the easiest target, then Prince. Possibly Krode.

After you upgrade yours and your bot weapons (specially your bot, since I assume he is the meele) to Gleaming Still or Runed Bamboo (if wooden), you can go after rest of named.

Yeah i just recently took out Master,Prince,King,Paw in that order but it still stumps me why i got hit by a batling then a 350 Lifetap then hit again followed by a lifetap lol guess its the lvl thing. :lol:

Another thing i dont know if anyone has reported, sometimes when u zone into the warrens u get a Aura of Frenzy buff..... makes u unkillable pretty much and doesn't wear off till u zone. Not sure if this could be fixed or not or even repeated for that matter.

Gotta fight Krode and Mugle left but im having a blast in Alt P so far, Keep up the good work.

regarding that Aura thing ... There was a person responsible for that :P Which promised this fixed.. like LAST YEAR :mrgreen:


i checked their spell list - it is possible they chain casting the 250 point lifetap. Whats important, some times mobs can agro and cast from around the corner - thought mobs in warrens usually widely spaced, but batling area very narrow - there are few spots when you can agro 3-4 of them at a time. So if you looking at one batling, while another one casting from somewhere around the wall- and those lifetaps land one after another.. This is hypothetical scenario of course...

If like warrens so far- Stonebrunt, is even better imho ;)
Thought future of Alt-P now solidly in Lillu's hands ;)

Sigh Chaos.. spreading rumours..

We wanted to make an official announcement, but here is the brief story. ChaosSlayer resigned from developing alt-p, he dont have the time to finish it. Unfortunately, we have tons of ongoing projects and none can take this over, so most probably will make some modifications to these zones and merge it to the normal progression path, opening them up for every player to enjoy it.

Well the good and the bad would be we prolly wont ever see what Chaos could have done to gunthak, Dulak and nadox (if he was going to sue those) but the good is everyone will be able to enjoy these zones as much as i have.

If u do make this a mainline area please keep all the same bosses :D

Mugle and Paw Forever!

No more Chaos on Alt-P?

Awww, sad face IRL!!!

I was looking forward to experiencing more of his diabolical schemes now that work has slowed down a bit.
