[Update] Pretentious fox Hexaferrum seductively yips, "When boss vials are passed out, they will no longer echo to everyone, just the recipient."

[Update] Pretentious fox Hexaferrum seductively yips, "Now you can page pose more abstract things now, such as page <someone>=:! which might give a nice mental metal gear sound effect. Game changing stuff huh?"

[Update] Pretentious fox Hexaferrum seductively yips, "Puzzler dedication should now work again like it should :P"

[Update] Nuku pants, "The effect of Enduring Malice on DoT duration/magnitude lessened."

[Update] Nuku pants, "Last tweak to DoTs removed (it was in the wrong place). Adjustment is as follows: Before, Enduring Malice had 70%, Damage had 30%, and Speed had 10% ratio on making DoTs burn faster and harder. Enduring Malice is now 35% and Tactician has joined the crew at 35%."

[Update] Nuku pants, "Storm Caller tweaked (one negative and one positive skill removed)"

[Update] Nuku pants, "Color added for when a critter suffers an especially strong DoT tick vs its maxhp."

[Update] Pretentious fox Hexaferrum seductively yips, "As another incentive to go somewhere other than heaven, a mutant in the bone yard has been increased in rank to a Hard Boss. This means greater challenge and rewards from that mutant."

[Update] Pretentious fox Hexaferrum seductively yips, "Worthy haul seems to do things now. This is probably a good thing"

[Update] Pretentious fox Hexaferrum seductively yips, "More Dildonic gunlance adjustments. Reduced silly healing over time, because it was better than the ARK, which only does one thing, healing."

[Update] Pretentious fox Hexaferrum seductively yips, "From last night, mobs below level 20 will proc binaries less effectively. Chock it up to inexperience on their part."

[Update] Pretentious fox Hexaferrum seductively yips, "(About 1/2 as effectively)"

[Update] Pretentious fox Hexaferrum seductively yips, "With many thanks to Uvi, a new help file has been created for binary statuses. help combat/binary statuses"

[Update] Pretentious fox Hexaferrum seductively yips, "pmode open should only announce your party on lfg if there is open space."

[Update] Divided By Hinoserm quietly yips, "Fixed a caching issue with web avatar generation that was causing a minor slowdown."

[Update] Nuku pants, "Tweak done to make the core power engine a bit faster."

[Update] Nuku pants, "Generating combats made a tiny bit faster."

[Update] Nuku pants, "The speed at which enemies are crafted when searching optimized and it should give better feedback as it happens instead of eery silence as the game contemplates its purpose."

[Update] Pretentious fox Hexaferrum seductively yips, "The Gauntlet can be found in Jack's hardware store. At a Low Low Price(Patent pending)."

[Update] Pretentious fox Hexaferrum seductively yips, "Monsters have noticed that taking cover leads to them not being punched in their face as easily with all the flying fireballs. Random mobs (the ones you search for) now have a minimum Back Row of 1 per 30 levels (minimum 1). If they already have BR of this level or higher, nothing happens."

[Update] Pretentious fox Hexaferrum seductively yips, "(Courtesy of Nuku, unto the wizchat)"

[Update] Nuku pants, "In theory, groups should get smaller groups of stronger enemies."

[Update] Nuku pants, "(This is for random/search encounters)"

[Update] Nuku pants, "Major accuracy tweak. Math is done as before. The higher your dodgeresist, the more likely it will become a Graze (The equivalent of a 75% dodge/25% hit). The lower it is, the more likely it will be Hit(100% hit/0% dodge). It should announce which has occured. Things that cause 100%/0% dodge resist still do just that, which shove the odds of a graze or a hit dramatically. Playtesting extremely desired. Tell us how it feels and flows."

[Update] Nuku squeaks, "The basic display of 'so and so hit whatsherface with a power for some damage' has been radically engineered. Tell me what you think after trying it a bit."

[Update] Pretentious fox Hexaferrum seductively yips, "New class. Violator. Just... Look at those brilliant skills."

[Update] Nuku squeaks, "'Sway' removed, replaced with 'Hit', since it is a hit, and it's not really helpful and kinda confusing."

[Update] Pretentious fox Hexaferrum seductively yips, "Prime Assistants get numbers like normal mobs do now. Primes remain primes however."

[Update] Nuku squeaks, "The appearance of combat revised and tightened for increased pleasure."

[Update] Pretentious fox Hexaferrum echoyips, "Have you seen <RoomFill> messages when you weren't in combat? You probably shouldn't now."

[Update] Pretentious fox Hexaferrum echoyips, "Now forgetting(read remorting), will change your class to classless, because when we know it's necessary, why would we force you to do it when we can force you to do it, but automatically?"

[Update] Pretentious fox Hexaferrum echoyips, "And now you remain in the class as god intended. >.>"

[Update] Pretentious fox Hexaferrum echoyips, "For lore reasons, the DEATH is now the OOF tag. You know, because it's hard to kill things, but causing them to go OOF and fuck off is easier."

[Update] Pretentious fox Hexaferrum echoyips, "In an effort to address concerns about drop mods being the only way to go, crafting skills are now capped at 10 + 60(this is 70), this stacks with top tier crafting, because why work things over that much today?"

[Update] "Master" Of Science Fauna wantonly purrs, "Skill items (the mako-bought ones) have been changed. Instead of giving you +10 to a skill, they will now automatically roll twice for automated rolls (anything that isn't +roll) and pick the highest value. For scenes, you will be allowed to pick a single roll that includes that skill to do-over (I have implemented the reroll command, which'll automatically re-roll your last roll, once). If you wish to re-roll another roll in the same scene (regardless of the involved skill being the same or different), you will need to spend a hero-point. (Putting it back in here because of the rollback)"

[Update] "Master" Of Science Fauna wantonly purrs, "extended roller-details will no longer break the roller."

[Update] Nuku squeaks, "Want a refund? Complete that request! Head to the elite shop and just refund (gearnumber)"

[Update] Pretentious fox Hexaferrum echoyips, "Before I forget, there is a new tool for those agents who wish to know what they're fighting, the FeralDex, ideal for replacing the bonus from Xeno(but only for seeing the stats of an enemy), available in the token store."

[Update] Pretentious fox Hexaferrum echoyips, "Programs that roll more than one skill one with the item and one without, will no longer assume all other following rolls have the benefit of the item."

[Update] Pretentious fox Hexaferrum echoyips, "New experiment. Martyr. See how far your altruism will take you."

[Update] Pretentious fox Hexaferrum echoyips, "(To clarify, martyr is a class)"

[Update] Your Terrible Auntie purrs, "The numbers behind some social actions have changed to better reflect recent changes to the skill system, as to make some of them actually feasibly, consistently completable. Gimme a heads up if the balance still feels off."

[Update] Pretentious fox Hexaferrum echoyips, "Web Social Actions should now clean up after themselves, and in all likelihood, maybe prevent you from spamming fifty thousand of them at once."

[Update] Divided By Hinoserm quietly yips, "Chat logs (e.g. 'PAGE #LAST', 'OOC #LAST' and 'POT') will now be expunged when they reach 6 months of age."

[Update] Pretentious fox Hexaferrum echoyips, "+roll should no longer be broken for those few of you with the roll debug information on."

[Update] Pretentious fox Hexaferrum echoyips, "(Song got the one on the store)"

[Update] Pretentious fox Hexaferrum echoyips, "Death Sworn has generally been improved and hopefully is more attractive as a dedication/special training(whichever it is)."

[Update] Pretentious fox Hexaferrum echoyips, "Mercs should no longer inherit leadership of parties. With all luck."

[Update] Nuku squeaks, "Prreeettty much all of the combat messages now conform to the new layout, yayyyy."

[Update] Pretentious fox Hexaferrum echoyips, "Macuahuitl(will I ever remember how to spell that without looking at it?) accuracy buffed from 55 to 65"

[Update] Pretentious fox Hexaferrum echoyips, "Since Scrublands are a common name for two different combat areas, I've named the deep scrubland rooms so they start with [Deep Scrublands] instead of [Scrublands]"

[Update] Pretentious fox Hexaferrum echoyips, "Martyr now has powers. They'll probably hurt though"

[Update] Pretentious fox Hexaferrum echoyips, "Before I forget, the primer command will not let you start a prime fight if you mentored above the acceptable levels for the area."

[Update] Pretentious fox Hexaferrum gruffly states, "Made some fixes to parsing and pronoun correctness for the combat android."

[Update] Pretentious fox Hexaferrum echoyips, "More typo fixes to the Minokawa."

[Update] Pretentious fox Hexaferrum echoyips, "The Void Expansion pool has been implemented as fully as I see necessary for a first push, Four recipes have been added to the weapon master dedication, the "Meteor Shield", the "Rapier of Hollow Spaces", the "Crossbow of Sunbeams", and incongruously, the "Morgenstern of death"(Morningstar). The rewards from the pool have been passed out, the recipes placed inside a room below the armory."

[Update] Pretentious fox Hexaferrum echoyips, "Prism storm improved slightly"

[Update] Pretentious fox Hexaferrum echoyips, "Cruselfixion now has its self damage NoAoE so you don't also kill your friends, and thus make 'Surge of Fucking dying for your friends' irrelevant"

[Update] Pretentious fox Hexaferrum echoyips, "Cascading is capped differently, now the equation for it's effective % boost to repeats is given by (40x)/(10+x)*(sign-of-x). This is a moderate boost for low quantities of cascading, and a nerf to high levels which I've never seen happen."

[Update] Nuku squeaks, "Webpage back up and working proper."

[Update] Pretentious fox Hexaferrum resonates, "The reward system for primes and mega primes is now considerably more efficient as well as concise in the messages it gives. No more ten million lines of "You collect a shining boss vial!""

[Update] Pretentious fox Hexaferrum resonates, "This one is dedicated to Yaprap, a new command altgiver can hand things off from your alts to other people. Syntax is altgiver <alt>=<item>=<destination>[=<amount>]? This will prompt you, not your alt. It will deduct money from your alt, and thus may fail silently if your alt is broke."

[Update] Pretentious fox Hexaferrum resonates, "+anisd will now tell you when you lack an advancement nisd."

[Update] Pretentious fox Hexaferrum resonates, "Not submissives."

[Update] Pretentious fox Hexaferrum resonates, "Mastermind is now living in its own separate function. On your end, this means that combat might be somewhere between negligibly faster and noticably faster. Also just /maybe/ some bugs crept into the rewrite. Though, I think most of the kinks are worked out of it."

[Update] Pretentious fox Hexaferrum resonates, "On the next RP tick, all owners of Nekomata should recieve Nekomancer, which is two-tailed wizard, but... Easier to look up, I think? It'll copy over all but one level of the class, so... Master nekomancer should pop up a fair bit soon, I guess."

[Update] Nuku smoothly says, "In theory, combat sped up."

[Update] Nuku smoothly says, "XP gains while mentored _down_ reduced. It was always meant to be a way to join your lesser-abled buddies and help them past a tough fight, not an ideal way to gain xp."

[Update] Nuku smoothly says, "New edges: Grand Challenger, Minor -- Grand Challenger, Major -- Corrupter, Major"

[Update] Nuku smoothly says, "Fixed a bug that could cause secondary statuses to be applied due to upgrades on powers that have no secondaries."

[Update] Nuku pants, "This applies to mutants punching your face."

[Update] Nuku pants, "Fixed a crasher with the use of certain items."

[Update] Nuku pants, "Big tweak. So, damage back to its previous numbers ( / 5), buutttt! Now it affects all hits, repeated or not, woo! If it's a repeat, initial hit or followup, your damage rating is averaged with flurry to determine your 'effective' damage for the purpose of the effect."

[Update] Highway Song says, "The Latex Snow Leopard now has unique Victory and oVictory messages, content courtesy of Arthur."

[Update] Highway Song says, "The Latex Snow Leopard now has unique Kemonomimi descriptions, content (again) courtesy of Arthur."

[Update] Highway Song says, "Fixed the Brown Bear Shemale not displaying text as it should on defeat or submission (my bad)."

[Update] Pretentious fox Hexaferrum echoyips, "BTW, pets were reenabled later the night when I announced they were disabled. Let's clear that up for now huh?"

[Update] Nuku pants, "Fixed the code so salvage modifiers much more easily actually make a difference. Enjoy not everyone in a party getting exactly the same amount of salvage!"

[Update] Nuku pants, "Ambush/being ambushed now inflicts knockdown instead of what it usually did. Will this work better? Lemme know!"

[Update] Nuku softly churrs, "Fixed a ker-huge bug wherein an NPC could be slapped with effects that sap its energy, despite not using any, and thus be unable to DO anything, and then grind combat to a halt."

[Update] Wet clash Hexaferrum echoyips, "Emilie, the npc used to summon the abyss lioness is currently staying with me, since the abyss lioness remains stubbornly prone to suddenly stalling combat for no discernable reason."

[Update] Wet clash Hexaferrum echoyips, "The party display will now show how long a person takes to get more patrol points. Also since botmode doesn't do anything, it is no longer mentioned gone."

[Update] Nuku softly churrs, "Hell Raiser skills adjusted."

[Update] Wet clash Hexaferrum echoyips, "I've attempted to fix the issue with the "loadout" from consumable items ending up affecting your other gear. What it tries to do, is copy the item onto you, as if it was equipped, then remove the loadout stats"

[Update] Wet clash Hexaferrum echoyips, "Fixed an issue in the mysterious humming crates that would occur when you rolled for a power upgrade."

[Update] Highway Song says, "Fixed the Combat Android having the invalid power 'Take Down' instead of the correct 'Takedown'. Players who managed to get this invalid power now have Takedown instead."

[Update] Irimi humbly says, "Progress on web salvage missions will now show a percentage complete on combat end, like dailies do."

[Update] Wet clash Hexaferrum echoyips, "A new weapon of some sort can be found in the museum. It's schematics are ancient, unreliable. Its directionality very, very, questionable. The schematics can be found in the living museum. Who would ever sell you a blunderbuss' schematic anyway? Shit's dangerous"

[Update] Pretentious fox Hexaferrum echoyips, "Shotgun was also buffed while making the blunderbuss. Mildly more damaging"

[Update] Pretentious fox Hexaferrum echoyips, "Upgrade tokens from the mother of tentacles will stack in the future."
