- Bots -
This patch features significant improvements to the training bot's behavior.
I was very passionate about bot improvement during the early development stages of the game, but it was never something that featured high on our priority list. Recently I've been working on the bot on and off and slowly making some progress. I guess my main goal is to have a bot that is less predictable and more responsive, these two attributes are probably what were missing most. I've still got a long way to go before I achieve some of my own personal goals; however, I do feel the bot has now come a long way already.
I could list all the things I've improved with the bot but I think it would be more pleasing if you guys fired up the Training - AI Opponent and see for your selves. Simply choose an opponent, select the sword (Longsword, Scimitar, Rapier play the best Jian is also quite good and Katana probably takes the least effective award). You should leave the rest of the settings in the AI Opponent menu set to default or random. If you feel the bot is still to easy by all means step up and play 2 vs 1!
Here's an earlier video I showed before to some of you (the terri-bad quality one).

- Reduction of Notes for all Official items -
I've decided to cut the price (Notes) of all the official items by -50%
(for those that don't know they're not micro-transactions, you just have to win on duel ranked servers to gain them).
- Capes -
I've added four new purchasable capes to the game:
I decided to make two traditional looking capes and two high tech capes, I hope you'll enjoy them!
Lastly...
-Tournament Capes -
30 players from the last tournament should all now receive their unique capes. Thanks to Hikki.exe and ManOfHonor for designing and organising them.
Here's a list of the players who won a cape in the tournament:

Sorry, no balancing this patch :riot:, maybe the next one. Also I started to work on adding faction specific character selection music and meditation music, but I haven't finish that yet :vlc:.
