Bug Fixes

Major Additions

• Cloud storage has been added. Steam stores a copy of your save files, this allows you to automatically syncs characters between computers and in case of the local files getting deleted.
  
• NAT Punchthrough has been added. This allows a game host to avoid having to configure their router port when someone connects in any way other then direct IP.
  

Conent

• New weapon, Spellbook, does only 50% damage, but adds +50% to all ability damage.
  
• Demon bow now has a charge attack. Fires three more powerful projectiles.
  
• Demon sword now has a charge attack. Fires a wave of demonic energy that explodes in front of you.
  
• Fireball Staff now has a faster main attack, plus a charge attack. Charge attack is big fireball with much bigger splash area than before.
  
• New merchant that shows up in the desert overworld. He gives you a quest to kill a demon, if completed he gives you a demon sword. This is the first place you can see the sword in the first difficulty. (Note: He won't show up unless you rebuild the world or start a new world)
  
• New model and animation for overworld portals.
  

Mana/Rage Regeneration

• Shields now increase both mana and rage when it’s held in. The rate is the same for both at 0.75% per second.
  
• Attacking with your weapons increase both mana and rage. However the type of weapon dictates how much it regenerates of either. The general rule of thumb is that magic weapons regen mana, non magic weapons regen rage.
  
• Normal Weapons: Regens 0.5% Rage, 0.2% Mana
  
• Arcane Weapons: Regens 0.2% Rage, 0.5% Mana
  
• Demon Weapons: Regens 0.2% Rage, 0.2% Mana
  

Abilities

• Ability costs now scale off the player’s level, not the weapon you have equipped. This removes the ability cost penalty for having a high level weapon on your character.
  
• Abilities do not increase in mana/rage costs when you put points into them. However Dash & Leap both still decrease in cost per point.
  
• Abilities now take weapon rarity into account for ability DPS. Keep in mind ability damage isn’t reflected in a weapon summary DPS, since that takes weapon specific bonuses into play. Use the character summary page to accurately see your ability DPS.
  

Balancing

• Gold costs for combining items are now modified depending on that item’s type.
  
• Weapons: 200%
  
• Shield: 100%
  
• Bodygear: 100%
  
• Armgear: 50%
  
• Headgear: 50%
  
• Footgear: 50%
  
• Ring: 50%
  
• Like materials did already, Gold costs now increase if you are trying to forge an item above your level.
  
• Energy Bow removed. You will still have it in your inventory, but it will no longer drop from monsters.

• Throwing Daggers now have 120% Weapon Damage
  
• Demon Bows now have 120% Weapon Damage

• Fixed crash when the Mystic Revive perk would trigger.

Conclusion

Content Changes

• Some weapons now have charge attacks, hold in the attack key to charge, and then release once the charge effect appears. These attacks do more damage and increase the interactiveness of weapon combat.
  
• Weapon damage numbers have been modified to assure balance.
  
• Some weapon’s basic attacks are now changed, Pistol and Alchemy Bomb
  
• Added shop and items to the chicken vendor. Super secret way to unlock it.
  
• Added a OpenGL version checker at the beginning of the game. This isn’t a perfect checker, but in most cases will tell you if your not able to play the game due to poor OpenGL support. I still get many crash reports from people that are not sure why they crash, this should help inform them.
  
• Updated a bit of the in-game character menu UI. Now has top and bottom bars and added a bunch of blue color. Overall I think it makes the UI a bit more understandable.
  

Balancing

• In a previous update we added a damage increase on rarities of weapons. We are not changing this, but we shifted the range from +0% - +50% to -25% - +25%. This balances weapons more with the monster health algorithm.
  

Fixed - Major

• Fixed bug that allowed players who were still upgraded for the tutorial to use that character in the game by connecting to different host game.
  

Fixed - Minor

• Only one hover view for an item will show at a time. Before this could be bothersome when drag equipping an item, as the hover view would stick until you moved your mouse into that item again.
  
• Fixed a number of dialogs that wouldn’t let you escape button out of.
  
• On some machines, the glLineWidth didn’t work, meaning some UI interfaces had odd looking borders. This was most notable in the class tree views. A workaround was added to simulate the line width correctly on these machines.
  
• Fixed, store menus wouldn’t update player’s gold amount properly.
  

Network Interfaces

Fixed - Minor
