CLASSES OVERHAUL PATCH!
version 1.8 Release Notes
Okay folks, this time around we have some big changes to the Classes! We've tweaked or fully changed at least one thing about each of the six classes we have in the game! There's really too much to go into detail here so I'll say to go check out the Classes Page in the Handbook to familiarize yourself with the new Perks! If you have a question it will likely already be addressed there. If it isn't, always feel free to ask in the Discord #game_helpdesk channel!
As with all updates and patches, these changes do not affect current threads. This only affects newly created threads going forward.
You are also allotted a free respec each and every patch release.
CLASSES
◼ Most all of the Class Perks have changed in some way. Some are completely replaced, others just tweaked slightly. Check Classes page for details and review old code at the bottom to compare if needed.
◼ Hunter has been renamed Shadow.
ENHANCED BASICS
◼ Enhanced Basics are now tied directly to Classes. Each class gets at least one. This means that you cannot get one outside of the free one that comes with your class. They will no longer be available for upgrade via XP. If you bought one, refund yourself 10 XP.
REISHI COST
◼ The Strike Basic Attack will now cost 2 Reishi to use.
◼ Reishi costs have been reduced across the board for Advanced Techs and Spells, most by at least -5. Check those pages for details.
DAMAGE TIERS
◼ I updated the Damage Tiers to be in increments of 5 now instead of 10. I didn't like the idea that players upgraded their Focus stat and didn't get anything for it (Outside of the Release stat bonuses). For example, going from 30 to 35 wouldn't give you anything at all. You'd have to wait until you upgraded from 35 to 40 before you reached the new tier. If I did the math right, this should be an overall buff for most players too.
Tier 1: d3 (0 Focus)
Tier 2: d4 (10 Focus)
Tier 3: d6 (15 Focus)
Tier 4: d8 (20 Focus)
Tier 5: d10 (25 Focus)
Tier 6: d12 (30 Focus)
Tier 7: d12+1 (35 Focus)
Tier 8: d12+2 (40 Focus)
Tier 9: d12+3 (45 Focus)
Tier 10: d12+4 (50 Focus)
Tier 11: d12+5 (55 Focus)
Tier 12: d12+6 (60 Focus)
Tier 13: d12+7 (65 Focus)
Tier 14: d12+8 (70 Focus)
Tier 15: d12+9 (Only available via Boosts!)
Tier 16: d12+10 (Only available via Boosts!)
For reference, the OLD Classes Page Code is below:
[b][font size="6"]OLD CLASSES[/font][/b]
At character creation you pick a Class for your character. It represents your basic approach to battle. The choice is important because the different Classes come with their own unique special features that help them stand apart.
Once you have completed all of the General Mastery Categories, you can upgrade your starting Class to a [b]Specialized Class[/b]. Upon upgrading, you gain two new perks in addition to the two that come with your starting Class.
