Final Release: 29th of November 2024!
On the 29th of November 2024 the game will leave Early Access on Steam and become an officially finished and release game. Everybody will start from level 1! But, there will be more updates coming of course. But this will be the time to join and experience the first full official launch with no future wipe.
All current characters that exist will be transferred to a Legacy server, where you can still enjoy them. But they can not participate on the new servers.
Until this release, the servers will be offline, but a new update will be coming to the game that will show the countdown to launch.
Highlights * Two new servers have been set up for a new Realm, which will be the official one. These new servers start fresh, with everyone beginning at level 1. A Legacy Realm has also been established, meaning all old/current characters will exist there. You can enjoy your old character(s) on the Legacy server or join the adventures on the new official servers. * Guild Houses added: You can purchase one guild house if you are in a guild. The guild house is then accessible to all your guild members. The guild house can be leveled up by completing tasks from within it. This is shared progression for the entire guild. When the guild house levels up, it can receive new graphics (as it builds up) or offer new features, such as special buffs, shops, chests, etc. All guild houses will also link to a guild PvP map, allowing guilds to enter combat against other guilds from their own safe guild map. Other guilds cannot enter your guild map. The current max level for the guild house is 20. * A new visual map overview system has been added. It tracks which maps you have visited, how many maps you have found in the game, and provides a percentage of total discovery. You can also write a note for each map to better keep track of them. It also shows which map you are currently on and what you have left to discover. * All server now support endless reborn (seraph). It's optional and if done it means you start back on level 1 but with more stat and skill points each time. After each reborn the next reborn requires +10 levels.
Features * A 'Boss Event' system has been added. All islands has their own map for the event with an entrance from each town to it. Which bosses that spawns are random so each event will be unique. The event duration is random, but around 45-60min. Entering for example the event on island 4, does not mean that you can not enter it on island 3 as well. The event is scheduled to run randomly with a frequency that should result in about 1 event per server every 5 days. The event is server specific, so it can happen on different servers at different times. It can also be started by the admin. When all bosses are killed on an islands event a reward is granted to the players on the map. Be carefull entering the island 5 event alone! * Island 5 has been restructured to be more linear, similar to the other islands. For example, you now need to traverse the forest on the left side before reaching the bridge that leads towards the ocean. * New maps have been added to the continuation of island 5 and 6. * A new "Skill Level" system has been implemented that boosts all skills. It is currently leveled up by obtaining rare loot in chests (other methods of obtaining it may be introduced in the future). This aims to make chests more interesting and motivate players to explore more. More information can be found in the flag menu in the game. * Other players are now rendered in red and your party members in green on the minimap, making it easier to locate them. * The random daily quest that previously required specific monsters or bosses to be killed has been changed to any monsters or any bosses instead, allowing all players, regardless of level, to complete the quests. * Three new monster abilities have been added: Cloud, Shield, and Enrage. Cloud will spawn different types of "clouds" that cause continuous damage if you are within them. Shield will turn the monster a bluish color and provide extra defense for a period of time; the percentage of defense is shown when the monster casts it. Enrage (which should not be confused with an earlier disabled system) turns the monster red and increases its damage and movement speed for a period of time. If a monster is both enraged and shielded, it will turn green. * Many new types of spells/abilities added for these types of characters: archer/warrior/assassin/paladin, for example: Exploding Arrows (arrow deal great aoe damage), Lightning Arrows (arrow deal lightning damage that hops), Arrow Stun (arrow stuns a large area upon hit), Earthshaker (warrior: stuns nearby monsters), Seismic Slam (warrior: big aoe damage that ripples), and more! All can be bought from different towns by vendors. These are all new attack effects that will help make the gameplay more engaging and fun. More info exist in the flag icon menu above the chat window. * A new Discord channel called "Server-Events" has been added. Activity from the game will automatically be posted in that channel, including global and market chat, in-game events, player join events, deaths, level-ups (without specifying the new level), and more. Events from the Legacy server will not be posted. * Two new raft upgrades have been added through crafting. * The Adventurous quest has been continued with additional steps. * More secret stashes have been added, offering small rewards and boosting your total quest points. * Four new hairstyle choices have been added to the character creation menu. * Two new player improvement crafts have been added. * Many more in-game translations (localizations) have been added: Greek, Ukrainian, Indonesian, Polish, Thai, Vietnamese, Bulgarian, Russian, Danish, Finnish, Norwegian, and Swedish. This aims to attract more players. * Winning either a Battle Royale match, or a match from the Match Making system will grant the winner some Gems. Just a little something to encourage players to fight more using those inbuilt systems. * Most buff spells now have a duration of at least 10minutes.
Balancing * Increased starting chest storage capacity from 20 to 30 since its now account based. * Increased damage for star-level monsters and bosses. * Changed max monster damage that can be done to a player. Previous max was 45% of your total health in damage, new max monster damage is 35% of your total health. * Nerfed radicalheal from +2hp/point to +1hp/point. * Lowered max skill ceiling for radical heal, allround, lootfinder and goldfinder to 30. * Lowered chance for monsters to cast dispel from 1 in 200 to 1 in 300. * Taunt stamina requirement changed from 7 to 9. * Rebalanced items that gave too much skill points. * Increased gold gain from colosseums. * Lowered chance for +0 (unique) item drops from monsters, but increased chance from star monsters. * Bosses has been rebalanced to offer better party play (drop rates, difficulty etc..). * Raids have been turned more party oriented requiring at least 1 room to be fully cleared of monsters before proceeding. * Added a new system to help low endurance character builds. Reduces monster damage by a percentage based on the difference between damage and AC for up to 25% reduction. So if you have 5AC and monster has 100 damage, you previously took 95 damage. Now in that scenario you would take 71 damage. * Adjusted some crafts such as boosting the craftable mining axe and fishing rod. * Rebalanced monster experience on all islands, it has been increased a little on areas that are under utilized. * The automatic "Friday/Saturday/Sunday" events have been boosted from "15% Exp/15% Gold/+3 Gatherer skill" to "25% Exp/25% Gold/+5Gatherer skill". * Bombs dropped by monsters previously did "monsterDmg*0.8" in damage, now they deal "monsterDmg*1.5", so a big increase in damage output. * Splash skill has been changed from dealing 65% of your damage to nearby enemies to 50% of your damage. It now allows the player to put 15 points into it instead of 10 points and the max boosted cap has been changed from 40 to 35. Now there are new abilities for warriors to learn that stuns and splashes so the skill splash required some small adjustment. * Max boosted values for poison has been changed from 40 to 30 and chance of proc has been changed from 2% to 1.5% per point. * Buff-spells requirements and duration rebalanced. Focusing on allowing all characters to get some buff spells if they are interesting in investing some points into wisdom/intelligence. * Melee weapons (swords) and ranged weapons (bows) are evenly balanced. They now require the same amount of total statpoints and both deal the same weapon damage for each tier. Archer can attack from afar and warrior gets slightly more damage per stat points in strength. * Mana potions have been heavly buffed so they give you much more mana. For example the first mana potion has been changed from 20 to 50 mana per potion. So at least 100% increase on all mana potions. * When using a mana potion, you mana regeneration will increase by +5 mana regen for 5 minutes. Using another mana potion before the previous time has elapsed will simply reset it to 5 minutes again. This effect is the same for any mana potion used. Even a critical mana potion will give the same boost. * Stamina potions have been buffed so that they give you more stamina. * Rebalanced 5 different skills so their requirements are not below the starting stats in the game and more proper. * Max skill points that can be put into parry has been changed from 25 to 20. But Radicalheal can now proc at the same time as a parry.
Fixes * A major rework has been done of graphic textures to fix crashes on certain old and new computers with specific graphic configurations. * Fixed if monster exist on map and Pet Kill the last monster with pet attack the blocking boxes would not disappear. * Fixed so the Aura skill now displays the proper info for it. * Fixed issue where counterattack skill could not be disabled. * Fixed so the single target spell area turns black if the cast path is not valid. * Fixed issue where the bonus damage/percentage damage/percentage defence was always active on your character as long as you had an item that gave those boosts in your inventory. They will now only be applied to your character if the item is equipped or if it's on a charm. * Fixed so raft now renders in the correct direction. * Fixed newly introduced issues from last update: OnScreen chat, Spell info text and Player/Pet name moving while walking. * Fixed the bonus text in the inventory from changing color if you previously hovered a unique item. * Fixed so that main menu music stays disabled if the mute button was pressed. * Fixed issue where the previous monster damage ceiling should have been 45%, but that code had an issue so the system was not active before. * Fixed spellbar positioning issue that could result it not aligned at the bottom middle. * Fixed so trees are fully displayed when walking west direction and the tree leaves the map. * Fixed account login issue, rewritten to prevent the same account from being able to be logged in on different servers at the same time. * Fixed a text label that overlapped all tabs on the payment menu. * Fixed movement speed issue on older machines. * Fixed speelcooldown sometimes showing 1 second left on timer, but it was actually finished and ready to be cast. * Fixed so trueshot skill can no longer proc if there is a blocked tile between you and the monster. To prevent players from using it through walls. * Fixed all crafting receips from being broken (caused by the previous update).
Improvements/Other * Monsters killed are now account based. So if you make a new 2nd character, your monster killed list will still be populated. * Player improvement crafts are now account based. So if you craft all the improvements on 1 character, all your other characters (new or old) can craft the same improvements for free. * Information text that was previously rendered on the screen directly. Is now replaced with a "?" symbol so that you can hover to read it instead. * Your storage chest is now shared between all the characters on your account. * Your information about Pets found is now shared across your account. * After traveling to castle of no return one time, you no longer need to enter the combination again. * After entering the long secret code on island 5, you no longer need to enter that combination again. * Swords and other weapon graphics have been made larger and improved. * It now says how many slots from your storage chest you have, ie: 6/30. * Now showing item and monster graphics on the in game data list. * Added more useful random conversations to the NPCs in the fifth town. * The new monster abilities have been provided to bosses across the world. * Colosseum bosses can wield the 3 new monster abilities. * A new background image added for the login screen. * No longer showing total created characters on server selection page. * Can now fish all around island 4 town. * Increased sight when rendering trees when walking up and down so they appear dissapear more clearly. * The ingame Data list on the flag menu has much more info added to the "Formulas tab". * The website now has a new top list for the new Realm, as well as a toplist for the Legacy server: https://www.key2heaven.com

Dev Log #26: Homecoming!

Make sure you try the Battle Royale game "inside the game", RPG style! Bring a friend or two and fight for the leaderboards! It does not require any leveling even though its inside a RPG, everybody starts with the same abilities. (This was included 2 dev logs ago!)
Dev Log #25: New content and FIGHT!
So much is happening in the game right now. Make sure to join the discord channel for all the info and help from the community: K2H Discord Channel
Highlights: * When entering a boss area, and the boss has already been killed. You will be notified how long time is left until it spawns. * Party exp has been increased to 110% from 50%. It is very beneficial to play with friends since you all gain more exp the more players you are. Consider these scenarios where you attack a monster that gives 1000 EXP per hit: 1 player (no party): You get 1000 EXP. 2 players (in party): Each player gets 1050 EXP. 3 players (in party): Each player gets 1067 EXP. 4 players (in party): Each player gets 1075 EXP. So each extra player adds a 10% extra from the monster EXP that the players share on each attack. * Added the first quest for Island 6. Quests on Island 6 will not be included in the questbook. * New maps, items and monsters added.
Improvements: * You can now Reset all Stat and Skill points from the crafting menu. It's expensive. * The summoning bosses north of island 5 town has been changed. The requirements are heavily reduced and the EXP gain is heavily increased. The hardest boss now gives 20M EXP. * The max cap for all skills are now 3 times their normal max value with a maximum of 50. So if the skill allows 15 points in it, it then caps out at 45 with boosted points. When capped out, it will display in green text on the skill menu. You might think this is a nerf but it is extremely close to the previous hidden caps to prevent stuff from reaching 100% proc rate. * Identifying an item now costs your level in gold. Was previously always 25gold. * Colloseums can no longer spawn invisible monsters. * There are now more cedar trees on island 5. * In PvP, if the attacker is 20lvls higher than you, the attacker will deal 85% of its damage. If the attacker is 40lvls higher, the attackers damage becomes 70%. * Rebalanced some bosses to spawn more frequent. A simple way of explaining the change is divide 'spawn time, max health and exp give' by 2, but with some variation. This results in the monster keeping the exp give per hit, but dies quicker but you can in return kill it again quicker. * Optimized rendering of graphics a lot. * Added a !clear command that clears all the chats. Type !help in the chat for more info. * Increased server security. * Added support for more monsters into the game, since we have now reached more than 250 different monsters.
Balancing: * A player can no longer deal more than 50% of the opponents max hp in damage in PVP. So if the player you PVP has 500 MaxHP, then you can maximum do 250damage per attack. * A new taunt spell has been added with longer range. * Warrior leap spells have been buffed (there are two of them). * Warrior Formation and Berserk spell has been slightly buffed. * Splash now procs 2% of the time instead of 4. * If a mage casts a spell that lands on multiple players. Then the first player will receive the full damage, and the other players in the target area will receive 25% of the damage. * Slightly lowered wis/int dmg on some items. * Bless spells now give more HP. Before they gav 1 HP per 6 Wisdom, now they give 1 HP per 3 Wisdom. * Monsters now have 50% less chance to entangle. * Monsters, items and spells have been slightly rebalanced. * Trueshot has been buffed. * It's now harder to get a unique item (with random boosted stats) when purchasing an item from a shop. To help prevent abuse.
Fixes: * Fixed an issue related to targeting that could cause lag. * Fixed blocked box griefing. Can no longer reset them by changing room. * Fixed some monsters not showing as bosses. * Fixed Impending morningstar attack speed and other stats. * Fixed bonus stats displaying correct in the inventory stats tab. * Fixed pet survival text in crafting menu. * Fixed so charm droprate is actually what it said in the ingame data list. It was supposed to be "7 in 2m chance", but it was "7 in 2.5m chance" for drop. Meaning it's now easier to find charms. * Overall bug fixes seen from the log files. * Fixed issue with certain spells not displaying it's cooldown. * Some map fixes.
Dev Log 24: New Content & New Stat Reset!
New content: * You can now reset your characters 2 times in total. So if you have reset it 1 time before, you have 1 reset left. * The start of Island 6 has received new maps, monsters and item drops. * A new more group oriented area has been added.
Changes: * Right Clicking an active spell on the right side will show the boosts. * Some items has been slightly changed. * Increased the chance to do a standard crit damage (not skill based) for the damage range you have. * Added a new way to exit matchmaking area. * Bonus damage from items are included in the damage shown on the stats screen. * Strength requirement on shields are removed. * Staffs have been added to more shops and more drops.
Fixes: * Fixed so items requiring attributes actually require them. * Fixed an issue with the upgrade item handler so that upgrading do not turn your item into a unidentified one. * Fixed issue with spells replacing eachother. * Fixed so i5 requires level 65, not 70. * Fixed so island 4 says the real requirements to enter it.

Skinable items: There is a new NPC in each town that will allow you to skin your items. The cost will consist of either/and/or gold, emeralds, tokens, gems. The purpose is to allow for more late game customizations for your character, There is also another thing to consider. There are for example currently offhand items that do not have any visual graphics on your character. Such as quivers, scepters, orbs and so on. And those will now also be skinable!
60+ New Items: The current 10 different armor sets have now received an extra version of each called Prime. So for example you can find 'Leather Leggings Prime'.

1) Shortly after June 19, the place we host the EU server at will shut down it's operations. Meaning we will need to re-host it someplace else. This means that the new update will be released before that. We just got the information and wanted to inform you all as soon as possible. 2) The new update is huge and we will be advertising it. So we hope you join in on the launch day! * Free stat reset is included for all characters! * Tons of new spells, new maps, new monster mechanics etc... * Pretty much the whole game is rebalanced starting with 5 statpoints per level.. * Rare items are "Unidentified" so you are required to Identify those items. With more unique possible stats. * And just so much more.... full list will be shared upon release. Tell your friends to get ready! 🙂
This is the new full devlog, hard to read I know ;) But this is the largest update ever made for the game. All will be shared within the coming weeks as it is released.

Patch for Dev Log #21
Improved player hosted servers: * You can now easily set new settings for gold rate, loot rate and gather rate. * You can mark your server as under development so that you can prepare for a server launch. * Added more information to the installation guide that covers how to patch a server, how to backup and restore the database. * Added much more scripting information so that you can change the game more.
There are also UI changes to the server selection list. If you need any help with setting up a server, just reach out in the community and I will personally help you out.
