Pre-Alpha 6.3 Christmas Patch
Merry Christmas to everyone and your families. Santa will be doing his rounds from now till Christmas, every day handing out presents in the game.
With this update we changed how our Loot tables work and how loot is assigned to mobs. We realized to balance loot the easiest way would be to have a set value per mob and thus we can scale that value up dependent on what level the mob is. This does mean for now that some mobs will drop a lot of one type of item but as we now have this new setup we can add a bigger variety of items to drop. At the very least a player will receive a certain value of loot from a mob according to the mobs level.
We fixed some bugs as well as added back in for Christmas some special items in the store.
