General Changes
Overall Changes
A baseline of Spell Mod was used for player spell damage, with monster and boss spell damage modified to the normal stock ranges
Many bugs have been fixed!
With the exception of a few items, mainly the named weapons--darkbane, feyr, sword of Oz, gavel of justice-- all items are now unlimited with drop rates adjusted to make them hard to get but possible no matter when you start playing.
The face slot is active, all existing masks are moved to this slot and several new masks are added including a craftable mask to negate most fear (talk to jorah for info)
many if not most bosses now drop chests including a long list of little bosses nobody ever visits.
All classes have armour sets at level 60 and level 80
All classes have new weapons options at level 75
All armour types had glaring holes filled
All classes HPs were increased by 1 min and 1 max
Pure casters have a line of sashes that increase Spellcasting/mana regen/ac/dr and are available at 10 level increments from level 1 thru level 90.
Caster spells were reworked at the low end so damage spells up to level 16 cast twice per round, still using full mana per cast but allowing them to do damage enough to do equivalent to a fighter.
Druid spells plasma bolt and the 4 elemental spells were split into 2 part spells.
Priest spell exorcism was reduced to level 40, split into 2 parts, and had its mana cost lowered.
Gypsy gear stock rate in swampside camp has been increased
Gypsy deck moved to swamp woman, gettable/usable at level 15
Spell stocks in shops have been increased in both regen speed and quantity for sale.
Leather armour sets filled out and new options added. wyvernhide (craftable or buyable) at 15, webbed at 25, behemoth hide (craftable or buyable) at 30 craftable/buyable at Trina's Exotic Armours, a new shop in the former Tulls Barter Booth
Stealth classes have had many areas reworked to have fast regen single monster lairs to make backstab combat a more viable combat method.
Bows got an upgrade and most can bs, many spears can now also bs.
Shadowhome ability has been added at char creation to the stealth classes. This allows resting while hidden, and while not earth shattering it is beneficial at times.
Smash attack knockdown is now fully implemented.
Spells no longer extend the existing cast so mana flux type now work as initially intended and stun-lock is gone.
Potions have been reworked to now have positive benefits.
Evil items have had most of the negatives removed and damages increased in some places. neutral will get some of the benefits of good as well as some of the benefits of evil as well as some things that are only neutral
A 5th quest weapon trader has been implemented above the fountain in silvermere park, where for a 20 runic fee you can exchange your quest weapon for any of your class options and the weapons have been adjusted to make them more distinct. For example one option will have more defense where another has more offense or one has better bs stats while another has a hp drain.
Red house has been given a vault and a rent increase.
Some of the gang house emblems have been improved.
Spell traps like the vine bridge and darkened tunnels are now disarmable
damageshield and Shockshield damage is now working
Too bright to see has been removed completely
Combat spell messages now show the proper moves to attack message
NPP portals added to storm mountain plateau (level 60) Volcano (level 60) north blackwood (level 70) and the portal that was in Gnaj the Creator's room is now outside in the old mines
Fixed the ?swings at at? (the double ?at?) message when you swing and miss a target
Fixed third party message when a glancing blow occurs
Added notification if you are sneaking and you enter a room while another player is room spelling: ?FizzPop is poised to assault the room!?
Fixed being able to hide/sneak in a room where another player is engaged in a room spell. You?ll be notified you can?t sneak/hide: ?Unable to sneak/hide, a spell is about to assault the room!?
You can now backstab all mobs, even those with SeeHidden. However, your stealth will still break when entering a room and a mob has that ability. Note that BS?ing a see hidden mob applies the mobs full AC against your swing, whereas normally that doesn?t happen. This mechanic does not work against a Gaunt One w/ see hidden.
Back stabs against players are reduced to 85% effectiveness (to prevent one-shotting at higher levels in the game? a 1000 dmg BS would hit for 850 instead). Full BS damage still applies to mobs.
Training now costs money.
You?re told how much cash you need to train.
Added a ?(y/n)? syntax to the reroll command
Entrance delay has been removed!
Fixed issue where logging in you could still move a room and not have mobs follow. Now mobs will immediately acquire a target once you log in. Necessary to prevent gang house shenanigans.
Room spells now ignore mob magic immunity. This means you can apply room-wide debuffs to all mobs, regardless of magic immunity.
Poison has been changed to allow mobs to still allow hp ticks, but only at 50%. Done to prevent boss killing cheese with poison debuff.
Between round summons have been fixed. Hydra heads will spawn, night hag will summon a silvery skull, etc
Changed combat order. Before combat round order was determined by who entered a room first. In parties, it would mean the leader would ALWAYS swing first. In pvp it meant whoever was in the room first, got first swing (excluding backstab?). Now, the player that attacked first goes first, and last goes last.
Fixed mob hp overflow. Prevent negative healing of a mob to ?power them up?. Mobs will now only ever have as much as their max hp stat.
Fixed summoned mobs not being constrained to room limit. Previously if a room had a room spawn limit of 5, mobs attempting to summon would do nothing.
Fixed issue with ever-increasing crits as the round goes on. Had an issue with energy over-flow slowly creeping up to ?2000? and crit qnd being based on that.
Added all new class titles up to lvl 100.
Lvl 100 titles are now fancy colors
Gang names limited to only 19 characters (due to screen width of ANSI characters?)
Fixed some messages used in various parts of the game
Fixed crash from ?inquisitor armandriel? when asking him ?arlysia?
Made dwarven guards neutral (dwarven royal guards are still good) and removed the guard summon from guards.
Removed the see hidden ability from guardsman in Silvermere
Teleport tokens added for each city, which are gettable in those cities or from bosses. Tokens cost 5 platinum per use and are on the PvE realm ONLY!
