Testing Session - 5.0.0
Hi all. We're super excited to test the 5.0.0 Patch. This is the largest update of the past year, and we hope it is well received. There is a lot to test this update, with a new class, and multiple reworks ongoing. Looking forward to your feedback!
As usual, Testing Notes are bullet point and official patchnotes will be more fleshed out. Keep in mind that any balance changes are not final and subject to changing. A lot of the small notes in Misc, are actually quite large game balancing notes, such as changes to the Realm, so make sure to read through them.
The goal of this update was to bring game balance, populate the realm, and rework old classes to their full potential.
The Genesis rework will be available tomorrow morning/afternoon, a long with any unfinished LG effects.
New Class Magus
The new class Magus is available for testing. The Magus uses Blades & placeable crystals to deal damage-over-time in unique and flexible patterns. The more crystals placed the faster your mana drains.
Pirate Rework
Bringing you a fun rework on how its ability worked. Inspired by other games, the ability's functionality has gotten revamped into a more crowd control based and very fun mechanic. Where the anchor spins around the player and increases in range, dealing dmg and potential debuffs to surrounding enemies. Most anchors have gone through balance changes as well with new and unique passives.
Class & Legendary Item Balancing
Due to the big milestone, we have gone above and beyond by rebalancing not one but three whole item types. These include staves, katanas and bows. We are aware of the current issues, and these new changes have made substantial changes to fit the current meta as well as pave paths to new ones. All the changes are listed below in the balance doc.
Note: Some Item effects may not be working as of yet, as well as any numbers aren't final and subject to tweaking based on user feedback. In terms of magus and pirate abilities. Ive just listed a few, we are still working on the majority of them.
Hats
There is now an option in the Wardrobe to view hats, as well as different tiers of dropping hats. Hats will be unlockable once, and equippable on a char for a small fame cost. There will be hats purchasable for kantos, as well as hats that are dropped by mobs. Upon release:
- Malgors Horn Hat
- Serenitys Sun Hat
- Dojo Master Hat
- 16 Common Hats from the Realm & Gold Lootboxes.
Note: The gold costs for hats shown in testing will be fame at time of release.
