Ortharion : The Last Battle News

0.3e

Improvement

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.
Hurricane Blade (Acrobat): Tornado category option.
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.

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.
