Yes, we’ve noticed that too. Having a fixed timer lets some players camp the exact second that very rare resources spawn, while others are off doing other things or simply exploring the map.

It’s crucial that this bug be addressed quickly. Implementing a random timer of plus or minus 15 minutes for each resource and each boss would make gathering and boss hunting more fair and less predictable.

I have to admit that playable races are not visualy regonizable from distance. II appreciate that the armor will look different on each race, however the race should be distinguishable from a distance. Currently I can't distinguish Kaelar, Vaelune, Elves, or even Vek. When I get a little closer, Vek is easily distinguishable but whether you're Elf or human, I have no idea.

As was mentioned in post above, this is Fantasy MMORPG, dont be afraid to go for non-logicil body building, walking.

Some ideas:
Kealar - Basic human, classic one. Give them various type of skin, but not much into dark, this should be for Vaelune. (To make them look a bit different).
Vaeulune - Make them a bit smaller then Kaelar, just a bit. Mostly options for Darker type of skin.
Here Armor appierence should play role, between two Humans.

I will skip the Dwarfs, since due to their Height its easy to separate that.

Empyrean - Tall figures, mostly very light skinned, their gait should appear light, you can use a reference from Lord of the Rings, Legolas or invent your own way. Identity should be in light gait and the tallest character in the game. Their stance should be straight, almost proud, confident.
Py'Rai - Horn should be visible enough so we can clearly see difference. Here the gait should be similarly light but less lofty. A little smaller than the Empyrean, and they shouldn't be as upright as the Empyrean. Different clothes but also sitting/resting.

Vek - Second maybe even tallest race in the game. However their stance, gait should be clumsy, uncoordinated. So even though they would theoretically be the tallest figure, due to not being straightened like elves they would be just as tall or shorter. I think Vek is one of the best race when you can use your creativity.

Renkai and Tulnar will be easly regonizable, however here you will have to be careful to separate them enough between each other. For Renkai I would take inspiration from Lineage, or Warcraft Movie.

I think this forum and all related AoC discussion would greatly benefit from a huge toxicity reduction.

Been seeing a lot of the usual.. get good.. this game isn't for you.. I'm the best there ever was, type of talk.

Yall need to chill. No one cares how good you think you are at a video game.

P.S. I am way better at PVP than you!

couple thing with corruption

1 being hit or healing while purple should reset your couldnt down timer (this prevent people unflagging mid fight causing accidental corruption and corruption baiting
2 Corruption lvl 1 shouldnt drop gear item drop should only start at corruption 2 at it earliest , i would say lvl 2 should drop a random mount from the inventory and then lvl 3 can drop gear pieces.
