| |
− | *Fleeing mechanics changed significantly. Instead of removing all the monsters from your location, it now leaves them there while moving you to a randomly chosen adjoining room with no chance of ambush. Supposedly, party members are able to flee from a battle individually and at any time now.
| |

− | | |
− | '''3rd'''

| |
− | * A long-standing bug with passive effects falling off has finally been squashed! You will no longer forget you have Muscle Mass for a few brief moments, etc.

| |
− | * Resist amount is now displayed during combat for each hit.
| |
− | *[Public] Nuku softly churrls, "Water penalties suck like the old days." Should be Charge, Recharge and energy drain if you don't measure up.
| |
− | * Negative EnergyBreak statuses applied to NPCs now act like Knockdown instead. No change on players.
| |
− | * Hot and cold environments added to the game! Heat causes a small energy DOT and negative EnergyBreak. Cold causes a small energy DOT and negative Recharge.
| |
− | ** HeatAdaptation and ColdAdaptation statuses added. [[Water Flask]] supplies a small HeatAdaptation. [[Icy Hide]] and [[Fiery Hide]] implemented. [[Furry Hide]] can be upgraded with either. Assorted armor equipment give negative HeatAdaptation.

− | == November ==
| |
− | | |
− | '''28th'''
| |
− | | |
− | *Common salvage rolls made cumulative: when you fail a check, the next one adds that percentage. When you succeed (inevitable, given it will reach 100% over time) the chance returns to its base value. Currently does not affect the uncommon check from instances.
| |

| |
− | *Players under level 20 should find themselves gaining more creds and xp per fight.
| |
− | **More precisely, you will receive rewards as if your level has been averaged with 20. So at level 0, you get rewards as if you were level 10, at level 1 you get them as if you were level 10.5, then 11, then 11.5... and so forth until you actually hit level 20, at which point things proceed normally.

| |
− | | |
− | '''12th'''
| |
− | | |
− | *Children and eggs now summon at Minion rank, up from Mook. This does not raise the maximum rank of your minions, so that third point of [[Mastermind]] is much more optional than it was.

| |
− | | |
− | '''6th'''
| |
− | | |
