There will be a short maintenance tonight to apply the following updates:

VALENTINES
It's almost Valentines Day and Alfredo is back in town. Speak to Alfredo in Terminus for quests and his Valentines store.

Help Alfredo stock his shop with Jewelry Boxes, Heart Shaped Pendants and Chocolate Gift Boxes by collecting materials and ingredients from monsters around Arcana and he will reward you with Love Tokens that you can spend in his store.

You can buy 7-Day Romanchi outfits and hats, 7-Day costume accessories, several different titles, a cooking recipe and Chocolate Gift Boxes containing various different chocolates that heal you or grant bonuses to stats like Movement Speed, Attack and Defense, and Recovery.

You can also buy the fancy Be My Valentine? mantle if you collect enough tokens!



Valentines related costumes, accessories, mantle schematics and mount can all be found on the Shopping Mall with a 10% discount.

New: Valentine's Dungeon Boss
Alfredo has a brand new quest this year - to defeat the robot boss, Valentino. Players of level 30 and above can team up together and speak to Alfredo to enter the dungeon and defeat Valentino.

Valentino doesn't care about your level or how strong your gear is. Everyone, including pets, does the same damage.

The dungeon can be entered once per day.


BATTLEFIELDS
Consolation Points & Reputation
Consolation Battlefield Points and Athanor reputation are now correctly awarded if a battlefield match doesn't start during the getting ready countdown because of players leaving or disconnecting. Players were already being informed of this but were not actually receiving the points and reputation.

Consolation points awarded when a Battlefield does not start due to lack of players, or when there is an odd amount of players no longer increase your Weekly BFP. Only points gained from actually winning or losing a battlefield, or consolation points gained when the battlefield is canceled due to players leaving or disconnecting will be added to the Weekly total.

Pet Killing Blows
Corrected an issue Battlefield and Colosseum score and kill count not increasing when an enemy player is defeated by your pet (the pet gets the last hit on the player before it dies).


PETS
Dismiss
You can no longer dismiss a pet while it's under the effect of a Sleep, Stun, or Immobilize debuff.

Death
Pets are now properly removed from the game world when you die. Previously they could sometimes still be seen in the game client, even though they were dismissed correctly on the server side.

You can no longer summon a pet when you are dead.


EVENTS
Chaos Event
The Chaos PK event will come to a close at the end of February - so this is the last month and the last Chaos Crown to be awarded. The event, or something similar, may return in the future.

The PK Bot will remain in Terminus throughout March to spend any Chaos Particles. Any remaining Chaos Particles at the end of March will automatically expire and be removed from your inventory.


MECHANICS
Mount Dismount Chance
Mounted players now have a 20% chance (increased from 10%) to be dismounted when receiving damage, which will increase by 1% from each attack that successfully lands on them (ie. not a miss), until they are dismounted.

After being dismounted, players will need to wait 3s (up from 1s) to use their mount again.

Players will now see Dismounted in the scrolling text below their character, and Dismount Fades when the 3s cooldown is finished.


Monster Defense
Due to previous changes that increased the amount of Defense players can remove with their skill debuffs, monster defense has become trivial. Certain compositions of classes and pets, especially in raids, could reduce a monsters defense to zero fairly easily. While I do want to encourage diversity in class composition, and make bosses easier if you have a more diverse range of classes in your party or raid, it was not my intention to make it this easy.

Instead of backpedaling with the defense debuff changes, monster's now have a lower cap on their Physical and Magic Defense of 20%, meaning you cannot reduce their defense below 20% of their original defense total. So if a monster has 10,000 Physical Defense, and you apply debuffs that reduce Physical Defense by 10,000, it will still have 2,000.

The remaining 20% defense is not protected from skills that penetrate defense.


Channeled Skills
Channeled skills (Meteor Shower, Blizzard etc.) are no longer affected by the Attack Speed stat - if the tooltip says it does damage every 1s, it will do damage every 1s regardless of how much Attack Speed the character has.

Channeled skills will no longer refresh/overwrite their debuffs on each tick of damage. This change only really affects Meteor Shower and Blizzard, as all other channeled skills have debuffs of very low duration that are shorter than each tick of the skill, ie. 1-1.5s long.

Corrected an issue with some channeled skills not doing their final tick of damage.


Boss Bonus Damage
The two Magic damage classes, Wizard and Sorcerer had until now, a guaranteed chance of 100% Boss Bonus Damage on their low cooldown skills, effectively making the bonus permanent. This in itself gave them a massive advantage over the other classes in PvE, and made it advantageous to have as many as possible in the party.

I previously gave the other damage classes a similar buff, but at 50% Boss Damage with an 80% chance. Increasing this to 100% and the chance to 100% would bring them into line with the magic classes but is rather pointless - the same can be done by removing the Boss Bonus Damage buffs completely and reducing Boss type monster Max HP instead.

Boss Bonus Damage buffs have been removed from all class skills. This affects:
100% Boss Damage with 100% chance
Mage/Magician/Wizard's Chilling Shock I/II/III.
Shaman/Warlock/Sorcerer's Tempest Shock I/II/II.

50% Boss Damage with 80% chance
Crusader/Vanquisher's Beastial Impact 3.
Soul Blader's Divided Slash 3.
Myrmidon's Tempest Slash 3 and Spirit Burn.
Wind Walker's Savage Toenail 3.
Assassin's Spectral Dagger.
Sniper's Dexterous Shot 3.
Sharp Shooter's Breach Fire 3.


Boss Monster Max HP
Boss type monster Max HP reduced considerably in Dungeons from Laioha Hard Mode and up, World Boss level 65+, Magic Tower level 65+ bosses, Vortex level 65+ bosses, and all Garden of Baphomet bosses.

The reductions will not make up for a full party of Wizards/Sorcerer's - the reductions were based on having upto 2 magic classes with their loss of permanent 100% Boss Bonus Damage + 2 more physical DPS with their loss of 50% Boss Bonus Damage at 80% chance. I also took into account the reductions to Boss Max HP in previous recent updates, which was slightly overdone, the additional Defense reducing debuffs added in recent updates - and other changes to consumables and skills in this update.


Layer Damage Shield Changes
Layer shield mechanics have been changed. Instead of blocking a fixed amount of damage, they now block an amount based on the caster of the shield skill's Max HP.

Example:
Priest
Cognitive Shield (Rank 3)
Creates a 6 layer shield that blocks incoming damage of 100% of the caster's Max HP.

If a Priest that has 90,000 Max HP casts max rank Cognitive Shield on you, the shield will block 90,000 damage or 6 hits, whichever comes first.

Layer shield buffs will no longer stack. If the target of the skill already has an existing layer shield, it will be replaced, providing the new shield's efficiency is the same or higher than the existing shield.



CLASS SKILLS
Instant Defense Penetration
I am reducing the amount of instant Defense Penetration available to the ranged classes. Some of their skills had it removed completely or the amounts have been reduced, or it was moved to a different skill with a longer cooldown.

There are also some changes to the Ranger->Wind Walker skills with Defense Penetration that had very short cooldowns to bring it into line with the Assassin.

Player Debuff Duration
Quite a few debuffs had their duration reduced. Debuffs will no longer have a duration longer than the cooldown of their skill. In some cases, on very low cooldown skills, the cooldown was increased slightly instead of reducing the duration of the debuff - or a combination of increasing the cooldown and lowering the debuff duration.

DUNGEON
Wood Garden
Some minor changes to the Wood Garden dungeon to reduce the amount of monsters that need to be spawned the moment you enter - which was causing some players to crash.

There is now a gate blocking Thiassi's area. You will need to defeat Tratequ first to open it.


MONSTER SKILLS
Further changes, reductions to damage, accuracy, critical chance, or a combination of all three, on boss monster random target skills that have no casting time, or have a casting time but are single-target so you don't get warning red circles on the ground. This will reduce the amount of unavoidable random damage non-tank classes receive.

INTERFACE
Guild
Players that recently left a guild and still have a cooldown will no longer see an obtrusive message box appear about their cooldown each time they are invited to join a guild - it will be a chatbox message instead, explaining they were invited to a guild but they still have a cooldown.

Players will no longer see a message box appear when the guild leader makes changes to guild settings relating to the guild warehouse - it will be a chatbox message instead.

Guild Aligment
Just to clarify, as several people contacted me asking about changing their guild's alignment.
There is a button in the guild management tab of the Guild Interface that allows the guild leader to change the guild's aligment (Red or Blue). It will only show if the guild is NOT in a union with another guild. So if you wish to change alignment you must break your union first. The guild you are unioned with must be the same alignment - so they will need to change too before you can reform the union.

Revenge List
Corrected the erroneous message about removing a player from your revenge list each time you defeat a player in world PvP.


Vortex/HoE/Snow Mountain Reward Interface
Corrected some issues with the Reward interface. The Random button has been removed and you can no longer left-click, double-click or right-click rewards individually to claim them - now you must select your rewards by left-clicking, double-clicking or right-clicking, and then press Take All - or just press Take All for them to be chosen randomly.

Corrected the issue when closing the Reward window when you had only selected some of your rewards - leading to you not receiving anything without warning. You will now be warned with a message box that you will not receive any rewards if you continue.


Target of Target Unit Frame
Corrected an issue with the Target of Target unit frame sometimes not displaying, even though your target had a target.


Assistant Skill
Corrected the error message when you try to learn a 2nd Assistant Skill without using an Add Assistant Skill Scroll first.


UPCOMING UPDATES
Our 10th Anniversary is coming later this month. I haven't got anything to announce about it just yet but there will of course be new quests and rewards, as well as a chance to pickup some of the previous anniversary rewards that you may have missed out on!


Happy Valentines!
