Hey guys, the following changes will be introduced in an update later today. I am just doing some final checks.

Update: The server will come down for maintenance and to apply these updates at 21:00 for approx. 1 hour.

BATTLEFIELD
Colosseum
The player matching system for Colosseum has changed from using the player's Hero Rating to using their Weekly Colosseum Points. Since these points reset at the end of each week everyone will start with 0 at the beginning of the week and matchups will be very random. As the week progresses, and points are gained, the matching will start to put players with similar weekly points together - just like most games with arena type systems. The higher your score, the harder your opponents become.

You are now awarded consollation Colosseum Points and Master's Hall Reputation if your opponent quits during the ready countdown, or disconnects during loading. It's the same amount you would get had the match not started due to lack of players.

Colosseum draw buff corrected - it was awarding the Lose buff instead.

Colosseum rewards have been updated. Please see the ITEMS section.

Name, level, class and guild of players in battlefields and Colosseum are now hidden on the Who's Online list.

Fire Pit
Dead players are now automatically revived and moved to Terminus after 10s.


USER INTERFACE
Map
The zone map is now in a window and movable. It's position will always default to the middle of the screen when you login - it's position if moved is not saved.

/images/iris/oct2019update/newmap.jpg

Commanding your character to move to a location on the main map by left-clicking the area with your mouse has changed to double left-clicking, the same as the minimap.

Stores
You will now be asked for confirmation when right-clicking an item in a store before purchasing it, so no more mistaken clicks :)

/images/iris/oct2019update/stores.jpg

Shift + right-clicking an item remains as it was - purchases a max stack (or as many as you can afford) without any confirmation.

Added some instructional images to the bottom of the store UI to inform that a right mouse click buys one item and a double left click allows you to enter the quantity you wish to buy.


Chat
Friend logins/logouts now show in the main chat window only, not in the System filtered window.

Guild member logins/logouts now show in the main chat window only, not in the System filtered window.

Disabled the profanity filter that was accidently enabled in a previous update. The system was designed to be used for character and guild names not chat. I don't really feel it's worth adding a profanity filter to chat as it's so easily circumvented anyway, and usually ends up filtering perfectly good words as well as profanity. Like p***ion instead of passion and pea**** instead of peacock etc. etc.

When a player is killed they will now see the system message "You were defeated by ", where name is the name of the player, pet or monster that killed them.

The guild right-click menu now displays Kick from Guild in red text and the change rank entries in a lighter red colour to differentiate these commands from the others.

/images/iris/oct2019update/guildmenu.jpg

The ranking pages will no longer show Gamemaster characters.

Corrected the system message when you try to examine another player that is rejecting examines or is offline or otherwise unavailable temporarily (when moving map, entering a dungeon etc.).


ITEMS
Mantles
2 new Mantle Schematics have been added to the store:
Blue Sentry Mantle Schematic
/images/iris/oct2019update/bluesentrymantle.jpg

Yellow Sentry Mantle Schematic
/images/iris/oct2019update/yellowsentrymantle.jpg

The existing Mantles obtainable from the Colosseum vendor have been adjusted:

Colosseum Aggressor's Mantle
All Defense increased to 25%, removed 5% All Protection

Colosseum Competitor's Mantle
All Defense increased to 25%, removed 5% All Protection

3 new Mantles have been added to the Colosseum vendor. These all have the same visual as the existing Colosseum mantles.

NEW: Colosseum Bruiser's Mantle
All Defense 25%, All Protection 20%, All Stats 25%

NEW: Colosseum Immovable's Mantle
All Evasion 25%, All Protection 20%, All Stats 25%

NEW: Colosseum Expert's Mantle
All Evasion 25%, Movement Speed 20%, All Stats 25%

Pet Skill Book Packs
3 new Pet Skill packs have been added to the store:

Summoners Rank 10 Passive Skill Pack
Contains 1 randomly chosen instant Rank 10 passive skill book.
Tough, Force, Intelligence, Wise, or Cunning.

Summoners Rank 10 Master Skill Pack
Contains 1 randomly chosen instant Rank 10 "Master" skill book.
Tough Master, Forceful Master, Intelligent Master, Wise Master, or Cunning Master.

Summoners Rank 10 Skill Pack 2
Contains 1 randomly chosen instant Rank 10 skill book.
Wind Strike, Iron Whack, Destructive Strike, Arcane Bombardment or Destructive Blast.

Note: These books do not require you to learn the previous ranks of the skill and are guaranteed - no fails.

Consumables
The Battlefield Dispel All Potion is no longer available to buy directly from the battlefield vendor. It may be available from some boxes with a chance, such as Colosseum Rations, and as a possible reward from Snow Mountain Hard and Hall of Elements Hard. It continues to be sold for Gold at the vendor in the Gypsy Market.

Transformation Cards
Transformation skill tooltips have been rechecked and updated as some of them had incorrect wording, skill names that didn't match the debuffs, incorrect debuff types etc. etc.


PETS
Improved the way skills (learned from books) are automatically selected and used - you should see an increase in skill use when cooldowns are ready vs auto-attacks.

Corrected a bug that was causing your pet to not use any of it's skills if one of the skills could not be used due to being out of range of the target. This was happening if you taught your ranged/caster/assist pet a melee based skill and your character had some +Range (which the pet uses). Melee based skills will now be skipped if your pet is out of range of the target and the skills range is lower than the auto-attack range. I would recommend you overwrite any melee skill you accidently taught your pet by teaching them another skill in it's place.

Improvements to pet pathing when following a moving monster that is near obstructions such as walls, buildings etc.

Increased the distance pets can be from you before they teleport back to you to 40m (was 20m).

Corrected the Typhoonus pet dispel skill to efficiency 9 - it was incorrectly set to dispel buffs with efficiency 1 only.

Increased the chance of obtaining Evolution Dust in Vortex, Snow Mountain and Hall of Elements. Hall of Elements still has the highest chance as before.

Increased the range of all Master pet skills from 11m to 20m in line with Heal Blessing and Magic Blessing.

Added skill cooldowns to Pet Skill Book tooltips as some skills have a reduced cooldown on higher ranks of the skill which players might not realise.

Added the type (Physical/Magic) and range (Melee/Ranged) of skills to Pet Skill Book tooltips.

Passive Skill Buffs

BUGS
Fixed a client crashing bug caused by monster AoE skill target circles, particularly at Namazu and some other world and dungeon bosses. It's the bug that caused so many problems at Okeanos :/

Fixed another client crashing bug that was affecting quite a few players relating to the display of damage numbers of damage over time (dots) debuffs after the owner of the dot went out of range or was no longer available (unsummoned/dead pets, disconnected players, out of range monsters/pets/players etc.).

Fixed a client crashing bug sometimes caused by the Auction House purchase history tab.

I probably never would have found these without the BugTrap system so keep submitting any crashes guys :)

Reworked monster AI when following a target to correct a bug with monsters keeping unreachable targets, for example when they move through a portal to another room in a dungeon.

Fixed a bug with Reflect Shield skills sometimes healing the attacker instead of damaging them when receiving very high damage.

Fixed a possible (but unlikely) client crash when tab targeting pets.


MONSTERS
Changed the reflect visual effect of Avatar of Archane when he uses the reflect aura. The visual effect used previously was possibly causing FPS drops.

The Attack Speed of monsters in Hell Mode dungeons has been reduced.


/images/iris/banners/classskillupdates.jpg

MP damage (and damage taken while using an MP Shield) now breaks Sleep, just like normal HP damage does.

Damage Reflect has been capped at 80%, the same as Damage Absorb.

Almost all buffs that grant immunity to direct damage now have the same visual effect.

Added the spikey-shield visual effect to more skills that grant Damage Reflect that I missed in previous updates - all player (and most monster) Damage Reflect skills except for the healer auras now have this visual.

All party auras now use a small amount of MP continuously while active like the mail classes' auras.
