Hi all,
these are some of the additional changes to The Hunt which were mentioned at the bottom of the post. Enjoy!
=== ITALIAN LANGUAGE ===
The first localization - Italian - has arrived!
Together with this, we've also done an extensive review of English texts and fixed various portions of the UI that could not handle longer texts correctly. This has laid a solid foundation for the next languages that are coming soon - French, Spanish and Portuguese!
=== BALANCE CHANGES ===
It's mostly buffs down here!
ARMOR
Knight: 1-second cooldown added to the Full Set Ability. This is the only nerf in the list, and pretty much universally agreed to.
Slayer: stacks of the Full Set Ability now give 2.5% PP instead of 2% but cap at 8 instead of 10 (this means max PP received is still 20%, but it's gained more quickly). Moreover, they now decay after to 12 seconds instead of 10.
Warlock: when the Full Set Ability triggers (that is, when the user spends HP instead of mana to cast), HP lost are now 75% of the base mana cost of the spell instead of 100%.
RACES
Blood Demon: base HP increased from 2000 to 2500. In PvE, Thirst for Blood gains have been increased from 1% every 25 HP lost to 1% every 15 HP lost (i.e. it takes 40% less time to load up).
Hellfire Demon: base mana increased from 500 to 750. Infernal Fury now also deals 200 Fire Damage every 2 seconds.
TRIALS
Galvanos: Legend icons are now visible on the world map and minimap. There are 3 legends at most instead of 5, which now have 4x instead of 3x the HP of their regular counterparts, plus 2x the damage instead of the same. To make it easier for PvE players to gain Favor, all legends outside of the trial give more favor now, and players can reach up to 5000 favor from Resident and Event legends (instead of 2500).
Babilis: Corrupted Divine Rewards no longer drop Dust or Recipes, only Gold and Orbs. The Orb roll chances are higher than before. This, coupled with the fact Corrupted DR were already 50% more likely to drop than regular ones, should make the Trial of Babilis the best place to farm Orbs and Gold. Moreover, Favor gained has been increased when obtaining rarer corruped DR.
Tyros / Nelena: Favor gained per Exalted / Infused monster killed has been doubled. Gold and Primal Energy in Exalted / Infused have been decreased by 20%.
Iridia: favor gains from using Coins of Fate increased slightly.
=== BUG FIXES ===
There's always some of these too!
SERIOUS
It's no longer possible to imbue attributes on gems. Note that those could not be socketed into any piece of equipment, so it was useless anyway, but looked very bad.
The description of the Full Set Bonus of the Assassin set was completely wrong (it still described the old effect changes months ago), it's been updated along other sets that also had errors.
It's no longer possible to have unlimited summons with some tricks.
Primal Energy no longer gets lost or replenished when playing moving through different server zones.
Opened chests in fortresses no longer reset at server restart.
Eviction notices are no longer reset at server restart.
MINOR
The teleport of Nelena can no longer be used when carrying a handcart.
The projectiles of summons no longer hit other summons under some circumstances.
The Trial of Galvanos no longer summons a Ghost Lizard instead of one of the Legends
Witchcraft Proficiency can now be imbued on amulets.
Typing \ in the chat no longer makes the message not be sent, unless it's a \emote command.
Fixed a visual glitch on Magical and Physical Power in character creation for human characters.
Siege times now only use UTC time in UI.
Relogging next to a completed event no longer shows the event icon on the minimap.
If somone leaves a cart on your plot, you can move away the cart, but no longer use Deposit All to steal its content.
