14 - Nightmare orb attack cooldowns have been increased to 8 seconds.

15 - The Bombs in Wooden Crates mechanic has been removed. We've heard the feedback. We had a plan to implement a few other parts of the mechanic that would make it more fun but some have suggested that we added bombs to crates to compel players to purchase pets which couldn't be further from the truth and was absolutely not the intention. We tried the mechanic and thought it was fun but not everything we try will work.

38 - Work has been completed to a fully revamped gear system. The (15) gear sets have been reduced to (5). Each gear set is tailored for one of the five classes with (3) tiers to each set T1-T3. T1 gear can be acquired by defeating world bosses with a new mechanic called 'The Forge' which has players feeding new items called 'Dark Cubes' to gear to enhance them. There are (3) versions of Dark Cubes each work with T1-T3 gear respectively. Enhancing gear has a percentage chance of increasing to add +1-15 with each successful enhancement adding stats to gear. Once the max is reached +15 the gear will graduate to the next tier T1-T3. Failed enhancements will add to a character wide 'Fail Stack' system which will allow for guaranteed successful enhancements which can be used on any piece of gear when full.

T3 versions of the gear will enable the visual aura effect. Skill points on full gear sets have been removed.

Full set effect bonuses are as follows. The idea is to create perks that would help to provide more fun ways to play the class.

Warrior Set Bonus (T1/T2/T3): When HP is below 30%, increase attack damage by 40/60/80 percent and health regen by 2/5/8 percent.

Tank Set Bonus (T1/T2/T3): When taking damage over 100 points, increase attack damage by 40/60/80 percent and health regen by 2/5/8 percent for 10 seconds.

Assassin Set Bonus (T1/T2/T3): When HP is above 80%, increase attack damage by 20/30/40 percent and running speed by 10/20/30 percent.

Healer Set Bonus (T1/T2/T3): When HP is above 80%, increase MP Regen by 40/60/80 percent and defense by 5/10/15 percent.

Sorceress (T1/T2/T3): When MP is below 30%, increase attack damage by 40/60/80 percent and defense by 5/10/15 percent.

124 - We've begun some work cleaning up skills stats. A lot of work needs to be done here so we will take it one step at a time. The first step is to clean up and sync the MP cost for skills. Our current build has skills costing more MP when leveling up the skill which is reverse from normal gaming logic. To keep that in line we have reversed the cost to decrease as skills level up. We have also synced the MP cost accross the type of skill. I.E. - All Q key skills cost the same MP. Below you will find the revamped MP cost for skills. 

Q KEY SKILL MP COST: 150/125/100/75/50 (LVL1/LVL2/LVL3/LVL4/LVL5)
E KEY SKILL MP COST: 200/180/160/140/120 (LVL1/LVL2/LVL3/LVL4/LVL5)
R KEY SKILL MP COST: 250/240/230/220/210 (LVL1/LVL2/LVL3/LVL4/LVL5)

KNOWN ISSUES: 

A) Pressing Alt+F4 or clicking on the 'X' button will open the Exit Manager to force the proper method of exiting the application which is 'Quit Game' on the Exit Manager. If at that point you try to close the Exit manager to avoid quitting the game the Exit Manager will pop-up again expecting you to quit the game. This issue only happens with Alt+F4 or if the 'X' button is used to close the application.
