Florensia News

Der Florensians,

Todays patch removes the Christmas decoration as well as the double drop event and simultaneously brings back the tower event. However, there is something else that has been changed with this patch.

As some of you might be aware, there is currently a bug that allows players to duplicate items. While this issue only affects a small group of players, it is those players that have openly showed us their very ill intention to cause harm to Florensia and its community.

As we’ve mentioned many times before: We will eventually get all of them. However, it is an extremely tedious and time-consuming task. This is why we have decided, to temporarily close the bank.

This means that currently, you will only be able to retrieve items from the bank but unable to insert any. This is – for now, the intended behavior.

We have been working on solving this issue for the past months but this is unfortunately not a case of Florensias code being old, but rather an issue of old programs running on new hardware. I will spare you the details here and just say that we are close to implementing a solution, but require a bit more time to get it right.

We are fully aware of the implications that this brings and we want to apologize for the inconveniences that are caused by this update. We are however forced to act now, before the situation gets out of hand.

We are of course working fulltime and with our best efforts to solving this issue as quickly as possible and will keep you updated on the situation, as soon as we have any news.

Stay tuned, as we have a few gifts for you that we will share later!

Dear Florensians,

We have successfully left 2020 behind us. At this point we would like to take the opportunity to thank each and every one of you for your active participation in our events and your feedback. We have some big plans this year and start with the birthday event that accompanies Florensia every year.

On 23.01.2015 Florensia opened its doors for curious and adventurous people. This day, we want to celebrate together with you! Therefore we have three events for you. Baking a Florensia birthday cake, self-created videos and a specially created drawing on the theme of Florensia.

The great baking:
The Florensia team is looking for the most beautiful and delicious cakes that our adventurers can bake. Create a unique cake or pie. Our event team has many sweet tooths who will analyze your recipes and pictures. In order for us to know how you baked your cake, we ask you to include a recipe of the cake (if you don't want to share it, please contact us via Discord).
Happy baking, we are looking forward to your creations!

Your adventures in Florensia:
It has been 6 years since Florensia opened its doors again. We have experienced a lot together. Moments of love, of excitement, of adventures and also of fights. Grab your friends and record a video. The theme is "A day with my friends, in Florensia". Videos that consist of screenshots or contain screenshots are just as welcome, but the video cannot consist of just one screenshot. Also, a video without images, that is, consisting only of images and sound, will not be accepted.

The video should last at least one minute and at most five minutes (slight deviations are of course allowed). When submitting, feel free to use a YouTube link (if you don't want your video to be seen, please set it to private and then send us the link).

The big drawing:
As you know, we love drawings as much as you do. That's why we are looking forward to your drawings. The drawings should have Florensia and birthday specific content (e.g. a wurn or a dodo with a party hat) and are welcome both on paper and digitally.

Submissions / Rules:

• Please send the pictures or videos to [DE] Namica or [DE] Ferrox via Discord or via Insta / Facebook as DM to the responsible person there. Please add your account name
  
• Please note that we can only accept submissions that fulfill these requirements
  
• Note that 50% of the content you send in (if it contains Florensia content) belongs to you. The other 50% belongs to Giiku-Games and AHA. We may post your submissions on Instagram, Discord, Facebook, or our website. By participating in the events, you explicitly agree to this. (If we want to use your creations for other press and/or public legal things, we will of course consult with you).
  
• We reserve the right not to evaluate content if we determine that little or no work has been put into the submission.
  
• Music that is under copyright is prohibited. Content that contains such music will not be accepted. Music that is included in Florensia is allowed. You can find it in the Florensia folder under Data and then on Sound. Music that you have created yourself, you can of course use.
  
• Everyone is welcome to participate once in each event to increase the chance of winning. However, a person can only win once in all events. (For example, if player 1 likes to bake and draw, he can submit both a cake and a drawing. Both looked wonderful, but he only won first place in baking).
  
• Stolen, discriminatory, racist, sexual or fake entries, will not be accepted.
  

Deadlines:

• Please send us pictures of your baking creations, the videos, your drawings, your FanArts or all together, by Monday, 14/02/2021 at 00:00 CET (UTC +1).
  
• (Please note that for organizational reasons we cannot accept any submissions after the deadline).
  

Prizes:
Of course, you can expect great prizes! These prizes will be given out for every single event, but they are server-spanning.

• 2nd place: 15.000 AP
  
• 3rd place: 10.000 AP

Your Florensia team

Dear Florensians,

Once again a happy new year everyone!
And as everyone is aware, a new year also means another birthday! - After all, things don't get any younger!

As we stated in the last guild birthday news, we will be setting a new registration period.
So if you are interested in registering your guild for a guild spawn in the first half of the year, all you have to do is contact a member of the event team via Discord!
The registration period will be from 10.01. - 24.01.

Again as a small information: The fact that you announce yourselves to us, does not mean that you must have your Spawn in the before mentioned period. You are only registering for the first half of the year. The exact time can also be determined in a later month.

As with the last party spawns, the following rules apply:

• Each guild may only celebrate its birthday once a year
  
• The duration of the spawn event is 30min
  
• The event will be led by the present Eventi - that means, not all wishes will be fulfilled
  
• At least 5 people from the guild must participate in the event
  
• The guild must be at least one year old!
  
• If a guild misses its scheduled date, without early cancellation, that guild will not have a chance to re-register for that year (please sign out early if the date does not fit anymore)
  
• In case of a negative behavior of the guild on their spawn, we are forced to cancel the spawn and disqualify the guild for further spawns.

Dear Florensians,

You will receive an additional 50% AP on all AP purchases you started from the 14th of December 2020 03:30pm CET until the 7th of January 2021 11:59am CET!

Your Florensia Team

Dear Florensians,

this patch introduces the changes of passive skills for all classes, generally enhancing them,
to make them all a viable option.
We also rewrote all of their descriptions in all languages to reflect the new changes as well as
make them more clear.

While we are working on future updates, we are of course also listening to your feedback
about the last patches. If you want to give your feedback and stay in touch with the community, then join our official Discord server!
We continue to closely monitor the changes and act accordingly where deemed necessary.
With the next balance patch, we will tackle some buffs. Stay tuned for a preview soon!


[h2]Class Changes[/h2]

[h3]Noble[/h3]
The amount of points you had to spend for Mind Up and Insight of Magic did not really result in
better stats. So we increased those skills a bit.
Lure is one of the harder skills to balance. It is extremely strong in its potential and yet very
important for a noble to survive. In an attempt to balance things out more evenly, we reduced the
duration of Lure of Incubus by another 3 seconds.

Mind Up

• MAX MP: 104/208/312/416/520/624/728/936/1040 ⇒ 312/624/936/1248/1560/1872/2184/2496/2808/3120
  

Insight of Magic

• MAX LEVEL: 8 ⇒ 10
  
• MAGIC ACCURACY: 16/24/32/43/54/65/77/91 ⇒ 20/40/60/80/100/120/140/160/180/200
  

Lure of Incubus

• DURATION: 5/7/10/12/15s ⇒ 4/6/8/10/12s
  

[h3]Explorer[/h3]
Because the Explorer is a heavy skill based class, increasing auto attack speed with dual guns was
deemed unnecessary. As such, we are exchanging the attack speed bonus with Attack Damage

Dual Gun Mastery

• REMOVED ATTACK SPEED: No longer bonus attack speed.
  
• NEW RANGE ATTACK DAMAGE (MIN. AND MAX.): 71/97/128/168/230
  

[h3]Saint[/h3]
Saints were in long need of a passive that would increase their accuracy. This will happen in the
form of Depravity of Soul losing its damage increase bonus for the sake of increasing the magic
accuracy.
Saints are a bit too strong when it comes to healing, so Prayer will see a slight decrease in
effectiveness.

Depravity of Soul

• REMOVED MAGIC DAMAGE: Depravity of Soul no longer gives bonus magic damage.
  
• NEW MAGIC HITTING: 20/40/60/80/100/120/140/160/180/200
  

Prayer

• SKILL RECOVERY: 10/15/20/30/40 % ⇒ 10/15/20/25/30 %
  

[h3]Mercenary[/h3]
The Mercenary class has extremely high defense and damage output at the same time. To counter
this, we decreased some of the passive values, to bring the Mercenary to the level of other classes.

Stone Skin

• MAX. LEVEL: 15 ⇒ 12
  

Heart of Steel

• MAX. HP: 196/352/529/724/939/1182/1452/1746/2063 ⇒ 392/704/1058/1448/1878/2364/2904/3492/4126
  

Aggression

• DAMAGE: 5/8/11/15 % ⇒ 5/7/9/12 %
  

[h3]Other Changes[/h3]

• x2 Drop Event was exchanged with x2 EXP Event.
  
• Christmas decorations were enabled for Roxbury, Castle Hall and Glostern.
  

[h3]Known Issues[/h3]

• With the reduce of Stone Skin 15 to 12, players that had it on 15 will see 15/12 on their skill
  and still have the old defensive values. We are working on a fix for this issue.
  
• Descriptions of consumable buffs (like Alchemist's Minor Green Sign) are broken.
