Thread: Another Armor Related Stealth Nerf?!
Message Edited by RumblingSky on 04-06-2004 11:38 PM
Nightsister shards never reduced health. They only reduced mind and action. For a short period (following Publish 5 until Publish 7 or shortly thereafter) the delveindicated that they reduced Health, Action and Mind. This was not the case in practice, however- upon using them to craft a segment they only reduced Action and Mind. As a result, I requested the Devs to either fix the delve to correctly reflect the stats that were being reduced or to remove the Health line from the delve, depending on which one was intended. Apparently it was the latter, as Health was removed from the delve on nightsister layers.
In other words, this was not a nerf. The Health reduction on the shards was being displayed even though no reduction was actually occuring when the item was crafted. All that happened was the delve information was corrected to match the actual stats of the item.

And so what happened with my other enhancements then. The ones that had a health listing, such as voritor segments?
I'll look into that tonight. I think one of my guildmates has a few of those lying around. It's possible that when they put the fix in for the Nightsister shards, they inadvertantly hid the Health stats on other items. Do the voritor scales still add health encumbrance when used? I've also got a few other types of looted components lying around in storage houses.
To be honest, I stopped crafting with looted components a while ago. They just take up way too much space, storage wise, and are very labor-intensive to craft with, far more so than doing factory runs of craftable armor. I'm still trying to convince the devs to allow them to stack, so at least one of those problems will be eliminated.
Another question- I've heard rumors of unserialed krayt scales and segments dropping. Has anyone else heard of these things dropping?
Hmm, ok, this definitely bears more investigation. I'm getting lots of conflicting reports here.
1. Night sister shards bearing all three stats
2. Night sister shards bearing only action and mind
3. Voritor segments with no health encumbrance shown
4. other types of segments/enhancements with no health encumbrance shown?
SInce the last patch, all I've seen are nightsister shards with only action and mind reductions. A guildmate has around a hundred and fifty of these things in her storage houses. I'll go through tonight and do a careful survey. Does anyone know if any of the invisible/non-existant health values are coming through?
