0.3 Update

Thank you all for your patience! 0.3 took me much longer than expected, but many changes were to be expected. Here is the patch note, knowing that 0.3 is only the first update of 0.3, bug fixes and numerous balancing improvements are to be expected in the coming weeks.

[h2]Change of direction[/h2]

After discussions with the community and numerous votes, I changed the direction of the game.
The RPG-oriented aspect has been greatly reduced, leaving mainly the hack'n slash system at the heart of the game, namely the customization of your character.
Thus, the following elements have been removed: Crafting with components to be picked up on the ground, swimming, puzzles, quests (you will have missions per area as well as a progress log.).
All this makes it possible to lighten the code, remove many elements which were not finished and which would therefore have taken me more time.
The start of the game will be more random and dynamic, you will have more different locations to explore and more choices of skills and equipment changing your play style from the first hour.

[h2]New content[/h2]

Added 26 powers for equipment.
Added 29 new runewords, in addition to making more of them usable.
Added 12 new gear sets.
Added 49 new stats.
Added new skill category: Satellite, Tornado, Posture.
Talent additions for warriors, mage, ranger to increase the experience received as well as reduce the price of skills upon purchase.

The challenge tower, in the center of the guild, offers 6 new game modes:

You will need keys, found during the campaign, to try your luck. The keys will be rare to find and the high-level content will bring many rewards, therefore profitable quite easily, knowing that the new currency that you find during this content will be useful to you in several situations. Thus a mix between campaign content and challenge tower content will be created to progress in the most optimal way possible.

Dummy Damage: Deal maximum damage to the dummy in 1 minute, the more you do, the more you reward.
Resistance test: Resist as long as possible against the plains dragon, the longer you stay, the more you will be rewarded.
Wave of monsters: Face as many waves of monsters as possible, this stops when you are overwhelmed or dead, the chosen difficulty level increases rewards and ranking points.
Dungeon Boss: Kill minor bosses then face the final boss in this monster-filled dungeon, the rewards are fixed, you can choose the difficulty level before starting. Several random dungeons will be offered.
Monster Dungeon: Take on a dungeon full of monsters and kill as many people as possible within the time limit. You can choose the difficulty level. Several random dungeons will be offered.
There are 5 bosses in the arenas currently planned, for now these will be replacement bosses. Each boss will have its minimum difficulty level, for example difficulty: 5 then, 20, 50, 100, 150, you can perfectly choose to face boss 1 of the arena on a higher difficulty level for a better reward. The final boss of the arena will be of "Divine" rank in a later version.

[h2]Improvement[/h2]

Class descriptions now offer additional information with tags about what defense, buff, and attack types they tend to have, such as “Fire, Cold, Energy Shield, Melee, Attack Speed, Mana”.
Upgrade items now have a specific interface, they no longer have weight and are account-bound if you are not playing in loneWolf mode.
Visual improvement to the Masochist's Blood Spray skill.

[h2]Balancing[/h2]

The physical power and magical power stats no longer exist, you will only have skills with “power” on them now, knowing that strength and intelligence give damage bonuses to melee and ranged skills instead.
Crafting components have a weight that is equal to the “normal” version of their type. For example, a legendary “stone” weighed 15 kg before, it weighs 3 now, like all the other stones.
You start creating your character with 6 stats everywhere instead of 5.
The slash skill for the ranger has been removed and the forester's “bramble” skill applies bleeding to enemies hit, instead of slash, the skill has been renamed to “otherworld bramble” and requires points to be used of soul to be used.
You no longer need to have a certain number of Ortharion fragments to be able to unlock classes or increase the level of your skills and their rank, the level is still required.
The sale price and power of random items have been reduced depending on whether they have powers + set + runic power or socket. They sell for slightly more at rare and lower rarities and cheaper at high tier.
The crafting components found in the world or on monsters no longer exist, instead, you will have more gold as mission rewards and on the guided evolution interface of your character.
Legendary zone bosses drop an additional item.
Powerful melee elves still make Fire Dots, but less consistently.
You have a greater chance of randomly getting a scroll from your class.

[h3]Equipment[/h3]

You can have any set on any gear of “rare” rarity or higher.
You can have any power on any equipment of “rare” rarity or higher, those that were previously unique to certain rarity types now have bonuses or penalties.
