no IP cap in yellow / blue

With the addition of Randomized Dungeons that are mainly targeting solo players and small groups we are introducing enchanted maps for those as well.
But especially tier 4 level 3 maps have been way to hard on Royal with an IP cap.

Thus we took a step back and reevaluated the IP cap in blue and yellow.
The result was that we completely removed them for open world content.

We are convinced that the PvE upsides outweigh any possible griefing potential.
However IF griefing turns out to become a bigger problem we would consider reintroducing an item power cap.

What's the plan for static dungeons, Astalot, CV etc. ? How much longer they will be useless ?

No one doing them because fame compared to RD and now solo RD is so shitty.
What is the problem to increase fame from them? I bet all pvpers will choose them then RD.

You guys killing old content with new one content.

Also, I did not get a moment to check, but did the 25% fame boost to "roaming mobs" affect these as well?

Well Solo Random Dung and Group Random Dung are also OW - and the IP cap in YZ and BlueZ is now removed. Does this also affect 2v2 HGs then?

EDIT: Im going to take a wild guess, but just "eyballing it" - these changes will nerf solo RDG farming, because:

1) Poison pots got nerfed by 60% (DMG reduced to 30% of whats on live) - so good luck soloing RDG bosses
2) "Cheese" builds (like 1h holy) don't have armor pierce...so with higher armor = SOLO clear speed will slow down

The damage done to mobs by poison potions needed to be nerfed because those completely ignore armor.
The amount of damage done relative to their health hasn't changed that much.

2v2 yellow zone Hellgates will still be under effect of an IP cap. The same is true for Territory and City GvGs.

Please clarify, how about 2v2 and 5v5 hellgates in red zones. those are also affected by soft cap of 1000

Two final comments on random dungeons:

1. Killing the boss in a solo static dungeon should open a next higher tier SRD just like group static dungeons have GRDs. I checked 2 Anglia solo dungeons but no dice right now.

2. The sarcophagi near treasure lockers should only drop solo dungeon maps. Currently they occasionally drop group maps. The sarcophagi are as close as anything to solo content so this would solidify that.

Also thank you for the bank tabs I desperately need them.

can we get updated times on new gvg changes since they are flying on every discord : )

I really hope consolidating timeslots into 19 utc(same as crystal) is a fucking joke or old news.

Hey guy on the next update of a look at the swords, specifically at claymore.
She is dead in the game, has no use currently.
