Bug fix
Lights have been adjusted on several dungeons that were too dark.
Black Hole stuns people in the area while the effect is active, instead stuns them for an additional 6 seconds after the effect ends in addition to during the effect.
The number of Ortharion fragments on the class talent interface now shows the correct maximum number currently present (i.e. 111 instead of 216).
The number of talents currently collected is correctly charged if you have collected them with the guild upgrade interface, avoiding being in the negatives.

It is no longer possible to put runic power on equipment other than necklace, chest, helmet.
The equipment power that allows you to do damage based on your maximum life no longer takes into account the life bonus.
Auras no longer have a bug to kill enemies, sometimes slowing down the game after a certain time.

The monster waves stop during the challenge tower if you are dead.
The button to collect the rewards from the challenge tower is no longer directly visible when you perform several events in a row.
The damage texts are no longer destroyed under certain conditions, which could create slowdowns, or even make the game unplayable, because you were no longer doing damage.
The battle banner correctly earns the damage bonus for you, it is not quite an aura yet, I plan to make a next update on 0.4 which will put order in all these aura systems, buff on yourself or on allies, area buff, talent and equipment which allows to make changes in this direction.
0.3i
Balancing
The resource cost at level 0 of skills has been reduced by 15% (there is a bug fix that increases the mana cost when leveling up).
Slight reduction in summon damage based on the skill level.
Slight increase in enemy damage at higher levels.
The explosion of “transformed men - special” goes from 3 seconds to 2.3 seconds of casting time.
The amount of energy shield gained with lightning ball increases with level gain.
All equipment effects have been revised to do more base damage, since a bug concerning the consideration of power has been fixed, so they will be more powerful for low levels and more powerful afterwards. I also tried to make sure that optimizing your statistics increases the damage even more, for example the bonus 4 of shadow movement deals 100% damage per second remaining instead of 30%.
The equipment effect that does damage with the explosion of your blades is the only effect that has been reduced.
The equipment effect that does damage once infinite block reaches its maximum does damage multiplied by the number of stacks, multiplied by your amount of blocked damage.
bug fix
The buttons on the guild improvement interface correctly raise the right line.

The keys to the challenge tower can be obtained in arcade mode.
Several elements in the character window have been correctly removed or updated.

Fixed a bug that sometimes affected skills with absorption amounts, making them useless. (absorption shield, weakling shield, cold armor).
Opening a chest that counts in the map completion system does not give an additional damage bonus to what it should give.
Unkillable Bonus Set 4: The description and real value were different, they are now 5 dodge/parry/block for casting absorption shield.
Fixed a bug related to the gem that allows you to activate bonus sets 4 with 3 items: it gave the bonuses several times when loading a game for certain specific sets.

Update 0.3 finished, launch of Season 1 and update for 0.4
Hello everyone !
The game had big changes to its structure for update 0.3, which is why I preferred to push back the release date of the 1st season of Ortharion The Last Battle, which will be released with update 0.3f or 0.3g next week, Monday July 29!
Update 0.3 made big changes to how you explore the game, more focused on build creation, exploration and having different games each time. I'll let you see all the changes that have been made in update 0.3, as well as all the patch fixes and small improvements that have been made between now and then, thanks again for all the feedback from the community on Discord.
I'm already thinking about update 0.4 which will arrive in about 3 to 4 months, I would like your opinion on the type of content you will find there, I will let you see the message and the associated vote on Discord.
Here is the link to the Discord for the type of content possible on update 0.4: Discord : Update 0.4
The mannequin in the Challenge Tower has a duration of 60 seconds and the conditions for killing it are now possible, so the quest “kill the mannequin” can be completed.
The damage on the mannequin will be visible at the end with K (if you do more than 10,000 damage) and M (if you do more than 1,000,000) damage.
The name of the zones on the challenge tower section as well as on the mission choices are visible.
Added buttons to buy items by x1, x10, x100 from the seller.
Balancing
Blade Whirlwind (Barbarian): Damage +100%
Protective Blade: increased distance to find blades, decreased damage bonuses and the skill now offers reduction to damage taken.
The record value for ranking on the mannequin is 50,000 if you kill the mannequin in 60 seconds. So if you don't kill the dummy, you can have a maximum of 50,000 points. If you kill him, your score corresponds to 50,000 * time to kill him, for example if you kill him in 30 seconds, this will give you 100,000 points (50,000 * 60/30). If you kill him in 15 seconds, 400,000 points (50,000 * 60/15). The goal is to have closer dummy and gear level scores at high levels.
The amount of gold that the player can have on him is 1,000,000,000 in order to avoid having bugs, because if on one of your characters you reach the maximum variable value, i.e. 2,147,483,647, this will create bugs.
Gold and experience rewards from zone missions can no longer exceed level 100.
It is now possible to purchase items in quantities of 10 and 100.
The runic power found on equipment is slightly higher.
The rune words are all of “legendary” rarity now, what you see in the description on the interface was of divine rank, so you will see slightly lower stats, but the stats actually applied to your equipment depended on the rarity of the item. So this is an increase if your gear was rare or epic tier and a nerf if your gear was god tier. The goal is to make the smallest rune words useful at the start of the game and to improve the clarity of the game.
bug fix
Teleporters on the “Arid desert” map are correctly taken into account.
The boss in the “small mountain path” dungeon is correctly findable.
Teleport Pillars are renamed Apparition Pillars.
Fixed a bug that made your character stronger because stacks were incorrectly removed.
When a gem is put into 2-handed weapon equipment, it does not decrease certain stats of the equipment.
Talent 3625 (Chaos Manipulator) correctly increases the maximum teleport distance.
The 15 rune letter pillars are correctly recoverable, and retroactively, so if you had discovered a pillar, without the rune letter being added to your rune word interface, it will be.
Fixed collision on the roofs of Granock Citadel.
Best placement of multiple teleports, wall, event area that was above ground.
Arena bosses are correctly recognized and finishable, as well as for rank quests.
It is no longer possible to have infinite rewards in the Arena game mode.
Approximately 10 talent IDs were duplicated, causing backups to change. (I created a method to spot everything, so you can be sure that it is a 100% reliable version and that there are no more duplicates.).
The player is correctly reborn once in the guild if he died during content in the challenge tower.
Descriptions that sometimes showed "progressive speed" instead of progressive robustness are correctly displayed.
The unlocking system works correctly on terrain with teleportation.
The number of summons is correctly taken into account, for example for the “damage reduction per summon” statistic and the set with bonus 4: Gives +100% damage, divided by the number of summons.
The map completion system, item upgrades, and discovered rune letters are correctly loaded when you create a new character.
The number of items to collect from the Challenge Tower content is correctly set to 0.
When loading, nothing will be displayed on the screen (such as notifications for new spawn zones discovered, or missions that are set up in the zone).
Picking sounds correctly take into account the volume of game effects.
All bosses have skills, several are copy and paste, but another larger update will add greater diversity and real challenge to the bosses later.

In the Swamp Cave, the Rune Pillar is correctly recoverable.
On the “summits” terrain, Ortharion fragments are correctly recognized from afar.
