| You can talk the talk, but can you walk…the Walk of Echoes? (sorry...)
I have some information in regards to some positive adjustments to be made to rewards obtainable in Walk of Echoes. The development team is currently working on the below changes:
As long as everything goes smoothly, we will be implementing these adjustments during the test server update which is scheduled for the latter half of next week. Please let us know your opinions on this! | |

| Hello!
I would like to share some information about our planned adjustments to Walk of Echoes, as well as our objectives for these adjustments.
The following changes will be reflected in the mid-February version update.
(Only changes that have been implemented on the test server)
Next, we plan on implementing the following three specs to accomplish our objectives.
Objectives
Shorten the wait time (make it easier to participate in content successively)
Adjust difficulty of boss battles
Adjust difficulty immediately after entering
Specs
Remove the wait time to re-obtain “Kupofried’s Medallion”
Ease up on damage dealt by AoE attacks from bosses
Same as the specs to be implemented for Voidwatch
Obtain a temporary item when entering a walk
We plan on allowing players to obtain one of five random temporary items.
In addition, we plan on implementing the following changes after the above objectives are accomplished. Our goal is to make the content easier to participate in, complete, and gain rewards from.
Addition of bonus walks
This would allow players to enter a walk with certain bonuses like increased EXP, increased loot drop rate and weakened monsters. These bonuses will be determined when entering a walk.
We’re currently working on determining what requirements must be met to activate bonus walks, whether or not players are notified about their bonuses, and how players are informed about their bonuses.
Implementation of skill increase
This has been implemented on the test server.
There are many different playing styles for this content (gain skill points, just complete the content, etc.) so we would like to continue to collect your feedback.
Also, many of you requested to remove the restriction of being unable to enter walks that are 50% completed, but we have no plans on removing this restriction. If we were to remove this restriction, players would be able to enter a walk right before the boss is defeated just to gain EXP.
However, if every player is in favor of removing this restriction, there is a possibility of us removing it, but we believe that this adjustment would put us in a similar situation as we were in before the walks were updated. Players might ask to have the restriction changed to 95%, 90%, 80% and so on and so forth, but this would just be a matter of personal preference, so I believe that we should stick with the 50% figure.
Please let us know what you think. | |

We will be making preparations to allow skill increases.
Also, with tomorrow’s version update the easing of damage received from bosses’ AoE attacks will be implemented.
Furthermore, the below adjustments will be taking place during the following test server update:

•Raising drop rate on Devious Die in Walks eight through eleven.
That sounds great except for the fact that I don't see anyone doing walks 8-11 now...

Maybe until they realize they can't finish the flux #12~#15 being a birdbrain. And they will move back again to #9...

I don't see people doing -any- of them most of the time... if I want to do WoE at all I have to wake up around 6am and join with Japanese players until around 11am ...the rest of the time there is at most 3 or 4 people there...

Yeah it is the same here mostly, though sometimes if you start a shout in Port Jueno you may have some luck. One way they could of packed WoE is require liminal residue also for Empy's for their trial.

I didnt specifically spam them for scrolls but was hoping it would be a nice side bonus to finishing my WoE weapon.

speaking of which, and mostly on topic. how do the liminal and dice drops seem for people on the newer walks? i haven't done them nearly as much as i've done the others because of the lack of people, so didn't get a great feel for drops

Liminal residue in the new fluxes drops pretty well, I'll have my bad stretches, like 1/7, but most of the time I find it to be about 50-60% drop rate. Die in the newer fluxes is fairly rare.

Haven't seen any dice in the new ones, got 4 liminal residue in about 15 or 16 runs.

If it still takes 30+ people this content is still dead otuside the test server. WoE Is pretty much 100% dead oN Valefor from what I have seen. Think a few linkshellss run it to make money off it but aside from that its dead. Perhaps once the game is out of this imaginary beta Ls's will be formed just for WoE

JPs do it every morning mostly, that's your best shot at getting in on it really. Even LSs that used to run it don't anymore since VW is better money/hr, but the JPs are a nice source of people to do a few successful runs a day.
I foresee the above changes making it much easier to get people to go though.

Yeah I imagine so. I gave up trying because every time I did there were like 5 afk people in the zone. Prices of gear sky rocketing too due to no one participating in the event and it being wanted.

Quote: Ease up on damage dealt by AoE attacks from bosses It's better to ease up all the AoE. Not just from bosses. Even minions have enough power on their AoE to kill people who's not in PT with dedicated healer. (cue to flux 9 : Warped wail -> storm wing = zombie till the game ends)

No its not. I did a shout a few weeks ago and got spammed with tells. We ended up capping the zone pretty quick.
