Mistral Update Patch Notes (Discussion Thread)

@ThatOneHopelessWeeb

Also, I’m willing to bet it’s less the flying western depiction of dragons, and more of a sort of Sea Serpent, like Jörmungandr, Scylla, or Leviathan. Scylla in particular would be fitting, as her whole schtick in Greek mythos is that she was once just a nymph, but was turned into a monster.

@Mirage

Im on the fence interpreting the dragons as straight up independent creatures or a mass mutation of hundreds of atlanteans merged together to form a truly horrific entity

Also, I would think theyd be in the water w/o wings, but would PROBABLY be large enough to not even need to fly. Sky islands are still cooked.

@Retribution

Masses of atlanteans smashed together create some grotesque drakes (flightless dragons, for those unaware) that become exceedingly hard to kill because they’re multiple organisms, like a Man O’ War.

We can then talk about atlantean-corrupted dragons… But the first idea I had was corrupted sea serpents that would fire sprays of tainted seawater from their mouths? Could be interesting to essentially have an active threat that poisons people and makes actual sea travel more dangerous.

Guys, Arcane Abyss Sea isn’t a hivemind, I swear.

But yeah, everyone in there has got a theory on the dragons.

Already seeing it:
White eyes in the sky and dragons underwater.

i hope lunar magic looks like/similar to how phoenix drew it, it was so pretty

P: “yo can you add (x feature)”
V: “yea guys i wont be adding that”
2 updates later:
V: “yo yo yo guess what im adding”

[WarmWater]

they’re atlantean mutated dragons, not “dark” dragons or something. The existence of a dragon corrupted by the dark sea does not hold any proof of the existence of warding dragons

[LameLee]

Awakening changes to Knight and Juggernaut have been done

[GlitchingEclipse]

Pretty good trade off for spirit imbues tbh

[MrYes]

Well there goes my plans on using thermo gear

[DespicablBanana]

so if I read this right, a Eagle Patrimony + Sunken Sword Knight can use the Rising Tide with the Lightning synergy if they imbue spirit energy into the Sword and have the Lightning synergy boosted size, but it will not be able to inflict Paralyzed (if the damage number meets the requirement)?

What about vitality savants?

[Zormego]

And with this, all of the Vitality awakenings on their trello card are outdated except for Paladin.

Not like that’ll last much longer anyway.

[sock]

i believe it’s the opposite way around, being able to inflict paralyzed but not affecting the attack’s stats with lightning’s imbuement stats

[MrYes]

Stand proud lightning warlock, you were strong.

[westloonlake]

This has to be the coolest thing vetex could’ve done with spirit imbues, it’s kinda like a flexible conjurer in a way, especially when we get more spirit weapons

[MrYes]

Pretty much gives non-magic vitality hybrids more synergies at the cost of innate drawback

[Danny_Zou]

wait how will this work when we get multiple spirit weapons?

[Zormego]

As cool as the whole spirit imbuing idea might sound, is anybody else kind of worried that Vitality hybrids will be too strong post-Awakening when the update drops? Losing damage reduction and getting synergies at the cost of a pinch of health seems like it’d be ridiculous if not balanced properly (and knowing this game, that will probably be the case).

[Danny_Zou]

balance server is having a meltdown over this exact thing
