Free Stat Resets this update
This build contains some major balance changes to the stats system and as such, we will send out Stat Resets to every player account for free. This is part of our effort to continually provide a ethical game service where players are not forced to spend money ever. Since going Live in 2018, whenever large overarching changes are made to balance, players are given free stat resets!
Balance
HP and Melee Damage Rebalancing The above changes combine to reduce the power difference between melee masteries and non-melee masteries, but more importantly reduces the power difference between low level players and higher level players. These changes also make the early game more bearable by making it a lot faster to kill low level mobs and harder to faint to them and make them just a little less weak in general.
Strength & Agility Scaling with Melee Damage reduced by 25% This means that the power output between high level WM and Tai players will be lesser than before.
Base Melee Damage increased from 2 to 5 This means that lower level players, non-Tai and non-WM as well as Tai and WM players will all benefit from a slightly boost in base damage without any stats.
Melee Damage now scales with Level for everyone This means that non-Tai and non-WM finally have some usage of Taijutsu regardless of stat point allocation and this potentially opens up more build variety.
Fortitude Scaling Decreased by 20%
Base Health Points Increased from 100 to 200 These two changes means that more players who want higher damage as they had before for Tai and WM can still get their damage back by allocating more into their Damage stat. While also giving more by default to low level players for better early game progression.
NPC Melee Damage formulas have increased very slightly (matched player formulas)
Everyone gets free stat resets in their mailbox!'
