0.29.3784 — 2020-04-15

Follow up patch for the arena changes. Minor rebalancing, big QoL improvements and general bug fixes.

One of the most impactful changes however is the changes to critical hits: Critical hits previously worked even after being blocked, while still having their damage reduced.

In the process, they would also remove the block flag and set attacks to count as regular critical hits. As a result, block based interactions were not triggered, such as mages ice shield stack removal, or warriors bulwark buffs. This became very apparent in the arena where bots have high crit chances.

Warriors have issues being competitive in the arena while mages are very solid. This change will help make bulwark more predictable and allow players with high crit chance to remove mage-shields easier.

Further, we're trying to keep movement speeds in a sane range by lowering passive movement speed sources. This will increase the use of active movement speed skills and make strategic positioning more meaningful.

0.26.3267 — 2019-12-21

Fixing some bugs and cleaning up various things in regards to the party pick system.

This patch brings an important bugfix to archers' Precise Shot which often caused the shot to do 3x-4x to the last target it reached, giving a lot of people the impression that precise shot does more damage than intended. Archers' efficiency in wars should further be decreased by removing a good portion of the poison slow. To compensate, they now have a speed boost on dash, allowing them to keep a distance in PvE / solo situations.

Archer

• • • • Dash: While the dash buff is active, archers gain 30 move speed.

      • Poison Arrows: Reduced the movement slowing effect from 50% -> 30%.

      • Fixed a bug causing Serpent Arrows to damage a single target multiple times.

General

• • • • Removed the fame factor that increased the max level for PvP cap.

      • Improved party pick queue messages.

      • Runes will now also be pick-queued in parties.

      • Improved item picking range for players by ~25%.

      • Increase the party picking queue time by ~20%.

      • Reduced fame lost on PvP kill from 1% -> 0.7%.

      • Reduced gold lost on PvP kill from 7% -> 5%.

      • Improved item find impact on gold amount by 20%.
