    Height Damage Bonus - It's Real

    After quite a bit of testing, and the help of Art and Adkuca from the Archeage R&D Discord I host, we have confirmed that dealing damage from a height provides a damage bonus against your target(s).

    "It's over, Anakin. I have the high ground." never seemed more true than here. Thanks Obi-Wan.

    ​

    Height Damage Bonus Information

    When an attacker is at a higher height than the target (or group of targets affected by AOE or Damage of Time ticks), their damage will gain a boost that we will call "Height Bonus". Height Bonus seems to be a linear damage bonus, starting from as minimal as a jump. Here are some facts about Height Bonus:

    • Height Bonus affects all damage types, melee, ranged, and magic.
    • Height Bonus does not affect healing.
    • Attacking a target who is at a higher height than you does not provide any negative damage percents, the damage is as if they are on level ground as you.
    • Height Bonus affects untargetted AOE Abilities.
    • Height Bonus affects Damage over Time abilities. Damage over Time damage is calculated each tick, and takes into account the difference in height at that moment the damage tick is calculated.
    • Height Bonus is not affected by angle. It only factors in the absolute height difference between the two characters at that very moment the damage is calculated.
    • [Edit] Forgot to add, thanks Rellam for reminding me on Omnom Discord: The calculation of height is based on the very lowest part of your character's "hitbox" versus the target(s) lowest part of their "hitbox". So yes, Dwarves would still get the bonus by a well timed jump :)

    Chart of Damage Bonus % versus Height Difference:

    Note that at 0.5m is the lowest we tested, as we assume that is the "maximum" height of a jump and it's hard to tell because of ping, lag, and desync whether or not the damage is applied between 0.1m-0.5m. At this range, the damage bonus from jumps seems to range between 6-8%, but that also can just be the range difference from weapons.

    Otherwise, it does seem very linear. Another data set with long Snipe distances show that this does continue linearly at extreme distances.

    Overall, data sets were tested for abilities such as Endless Arrow, Triple Slash, Hammer Toss, Shoot Arrow, Mana Stars, Meteor, Snipe, Fervent Healing, BEL, Blade Flurry, Charged Bolt- all to determine the information above. We haven't figured out if something else also accounts for how much percentage you gain for height like some kind of multiplier, so in case something else affects the strength of this such as gear or armor type/weapon type and so forth, I encourage everyone to try testing these out for yourselves.

    So... Yeah, standing on a siege tank's barrel, the top of a boat, or using the Halcy Hill are all valid strategies to maximize damage. Go nuts with your positioning.

    A good server for a new player

    Posted: 21 Apr 2020 09:17 AM PDT

    First of all, you shouldn't mind to find a server where you will be least behind, at this point it doesn't matter anymore, all servers have players with high gear and months ahead you.

    Tyrenos, Wynn and Kaylin have a large pop, you will see more competition and less land available, but that doesn't mean you won't be able to find a spot to do your thing, it's just going to be a little bit more complicated. Tyrenos get queue everyday, Wynn is dominated by east and Kaylin is the most balanced.

    Runert and Jergant have a small pop, you will see more activity when people are not at work and a greater variety of land available to claim, maybe not the best ones.

    I don't know much about Denistrious.

    Please leave your comment by inviting someone to your server or telling us where you are going to play and which side. Good progression for everyone <3

    Posted: 21 Apr 2020 11:01 AM PDT

    I'm looking to offrole a tank for some PvE dungeons we run but not too sure on what gear to go for? Is the corrupted kyrios okay? Should I go all Hiram and then what type of gear do I run? Plate, leather or cloth?

    Any other tips are welcome, thanks in advance!

    Returning player - Fishing rod gone!?

    Posted: 21 Apr 2020 10:57 AM PDT

    Hey, so I pretty much only logged in the lasts months to pay taxes for my bungalow. Didn't play for quite some time.

    I just wanted to fish a bit, went out with my boat, just to notice that my Masters Sturdy Fishing rod is gone. Not in my inventory, not in my chest and not in my warehouse.

    Did they do anything to fishing rods and deleted them or what happened? It's kinda upsetting as this thing was expensive to make >_<

    Best weapon for Darkrunner?

    Posted: 21 Apr 2020 08:58 AM PDT

    Started as Exectuioner with Greatclub, switched to Darkrunner and I'm trying to optimize my dps. From what it sounds like, I should go Nodachi or Great Axe, is that about right?

    Archeage Unchained ArchePass Rewards

    Posted: 20 Apr 2020 10:52 PM PDT

    Hello everyone. I recently started playing unchained and I noticed a costume I really really wanted but it was in the Q1/Q2 2020 Vocation ArchePass (Rabbit's Foot Uniform). Do you think they will ever bring back being able to get it somehow? Like cash shop or some other means? I really want that costume but can't get it anymore :((

    [AAU] Playing AAU on steam counts time played for both games or even just normal AA, anyway for it not to happen?

    Posted: 21 Apr 2020 04:45 AM PDT

    Just noticed this when I looked at another persons steam profile.

    Is there a way for it only to count time towards one of the games (AAU)? lol

    Hey guys trying to decide which server to go when it comes to new players. Not really trying to go for any competitive PvP atm, just trying to get some land and work my way up the ladder. Any recommendations would be appreciated.
