Florensia News

Dear Florensians,

We are incredibly happy to announce that the first class balance patch is here!
This is something we have all been looking forward to for a very long time and we are
proud to finally be able to provide you with the first of many updates to come. This was
made possible not only by the hard dedication of the Florensia team but also you, the
community.

All of the changes have been reviewed by the balance taskforce which is comprised of
community members.
We have also decided to give the skill descriptions a long needed update. All descriptions
of todays' updated skills have therefore new descriptions across all languages.
Going forward, we will update the descriptions for all skills as we continue with the class
balance patches.

With todays' patch also comes a free skill reset for everyone!
This free skill reset will appear automatically in your skill window (Letter 'K' on keyboard by
default).
However, choose wisely on when to use it. We are providing one with todays' patch as it is
the first of many to come. All subsequent patches will NOT provide a free skill reset. We
plan on giving out another free skill reset once we reach a steady point with the class
balancing. However, we have no date as to when this is going to be and it will more than
likely take months.

[h2]General Updates[/h2]

• All pet skill descriptions have been updated to be more informative.

Dear Florensians,

This week comes with a short maintenance to address small issues. The double EXP event has also been removed.
We are expecting to release the initial class balance patch next week, as we are still facing some issues that have to be addressed prior to release.

[h3]Fixes[/h3]

• Super Upgrade Box is now visible.
  
• Fixed a bug where the Redfox Lootpet would prevent a player from taking off items.

Der Florensians,

Oktoberfest was canceled? Not in the game! - Show us how you and your friends are spending time in the game during Oktoberfest!
One beer please! Or maybe two? Alone or in a group? Wearing Lederhosen or Dirndl like real bavarians or in a normal style, just searching for "fun"?
It's your choice, show us how you would celebrate the Oktoberfest inGame.

To participate you simply need to make a screenshot of your plans during Oktoberfest - If necessary, edit it with the tools that you think make sense - and send it to Namica#9265 or Ferrox#8627 via Discord. Be sure to tell us your character name on which you would like to receive your possible win. (not the Log-In ID)

You can win a Lederhose or Dirndl (selectable from different colors) to celebrate it the whole year!
Only the player who sends us a screenshot is eligible to win.
The closing date for entries is Sunday the 04.10.2020 - 23:59 (UTC+2).

Dear Florensians,

We have an event for all of you PvP players!
It will be a 2 vs 2 PvP again but this time with a little twist: We will randomly mix the teams.
Every team will consist of 2 players and two different base classes. So no Saints + Saint or Noble + Noble in one Party (exception, if there are not enough classes to mix every party).

If you want to join the event, meet us on Saturday (05.09.) at 8 pm (UTC+2) in Roxbury, next to the Lord on Lux2. [A small note: We are aiming for 8pm (UTC+2), but will first hold the event on Bergruen. It is possible that the event on Luxplena will be delayed due to a large number of participants, in which case we will of course announce this in the Discord #flo-en.]

Anyone who would like to join the event, needs to contact a [Flo] event team member in the time of 19:30-20:00 on Discord and give him the following information: Level and class of the character you want to join with.
Small Note: There will be a little goodie for the first 30 registrations.

The winners will get one Magic Jewelry Key per player!

We will have the following Level Groups:

• 1-40
  
• 41-60
  
• 61-80
  
• 81-99
  
• 100+
  

Here are the rules for the Event:

• The Skill "Lure of Incubus" is not allowed
  
• If a Team wins because the skill "Touch of Death" bugged and is active for too long, we will repeat the match
  
• No Pets allowed (and no Pet Buffs)
  
• Only Buffs from Party Member that are in the 2-Player Team
  
• Lord Buff is not allowed
  
• No consumable Items allowed
  
• MKs are not allowed to use Temps

Dear Florensians,

Another week, another patch. We’re excited to bring you another set of updates regarding pets and drop chances for Essences. The tower Event has been removed and the double EXP will continue until next week.

[h3]Drop chances for Essences[/h3]
We have buffed the drop chances of Essences on normal monsters across the board. For this, we went through every single monster and evaluated certain parameters to determine each drop chance individually. As usual, we will continue to listen to your feedback and make changes where needed.

Pet skill changes
Our effort to make pets more accommodated to the world of Florensia continues. Todays patch therefore introduces a few minor tweaks to the skills that represents another step in a continuing process.

Increase moving speed I
20% Speed buff
300 seconds cooldown

Increase moving speed II
20% Speed buff
600 seconds cooldown

Smash V
This skill no longer stuns opponents but instead slows them by 40% for 10 seconds.
