Arabic Language Support and Client

A long-standing wish of many non-English speaking Players are more specific language Clients. Next week we will add one more to our existing ones of German, English, French and Turkish!
One factor that determines if we are able to support additional languages is the availability of native speakers in our Team. We not only need someone to translate existing content, but also each coming update going forward. This is given for the Arabic Client thanks to our Moderator Thancred!

Translations are usually one of the biggest time sinks in gaming releases. Because of that we made sure that this new language Support doesnt impede ongoing developments, like the Re-Balancing. We boiled it down to mainly Copy & Paste for the DEV thanks to the work of MOD Thancred.

If you encounter any Issues with the Arabic Client please open a Support Ticket.

Global Chats Language Rule

Our policy regarding Global Chats is unchanged! Please only use English in the Global and Trade Channel ingame.
Please be advised that we will enforce this Rule via Mutes when necessary. You can read more details here.

Awakening System: How does it work?

The Awakening System lets the Player add 5 lines of extra Stats on their Equipment.

In simplified terms, there are 2 RNG Points which influence the result:

1. The game determines which stat type to roll for each line. The chances are the same for each stat type.
2. The game determines the amount/value of each stat. This has a total of 40 different "tiers", each has its own chance to happen.

The lowest possible results are 2 Base stats or 3 crit power per line. This is the current Liveserver state without any Event active.

In the last Awakening Event, we increased the chances to roll high stats significantly, while also lowering the chances of lower stats. While the Event was called a "40%", it was more around 10.000%. This would have set wrong expectations, hence the "40%" naming, which was an estimate on how it would feel ingame.

Awakening System: The Rework

After next weeks Patch, the Awakening System will be changed as followed:

1. Which type of stat is rolled stays the same as before. Equal chances on all of them.
2. We removed the lowest 6 possible roles on all stats. So the amount of "tiers" is now 34 instead of 40.
3. Since the most common chances are removed, we distributed the % from those over all other tiers. Including the rarest!
4. The now new lowest results were reduced in their chance to happen, compared to the chances on the prior lowest. Medium results were buffed and high results slightly buffed.

With those changes, the lowest possible rolls are now 10 Base stats or 5 crit power. Again, without any Event active.

Our goal with those changes is to increase the average Awakening Power Players have. Mainly to close the gap between the non-Event chances to the existing 40% Event Items.
The existing 40% Event Items will still be better than what is possible with those changes, but less extreme when compared. With future Events this gap will be reduced further.

Please Note: Weapon Awakenings are not affected by any of this.
