Largest weekly update ever! You'll quickly find that we have made some substantial changes to Crea.
First and foremost, Channeling as you know it has been more or less removed. Skills are now singular lessing the number of button presses to execute it. To further streamline skill execution there is now a quickbar that skills can be placed onto and executed with a single button press.
Channeling is still possible through idols that can be found in treasure chests. There are four Aer idols to channel from; Aegnix, Aeolus, Lacies and Silvan. Channeling these Aer will alter the elemental spells. In the future we hope to add in several more idols and have channeling affect several aspects of the game.
Going along with these changes, elemental resistances have been removed. Now elemental attacks have a chance to inflict elemental status effects.
Another major change is now talents must be unlocked to progress past level 30; however, each character can only unlock 2 talents. This change will help further distinguish characters from one another. For those who wish to max out everything, talent are automatically unlocked on Easy mode.
There are many more changes that you can find below. Much of this absolutely a work in progress so please keep that in mind but also be sure to provide feedback on everything even if you think we're going to be changing something.
Thanks everyone for your continued support!
Some more big news! Kelley and I (Jasson) are going to be showing Crea at MineCon this upcoming weekend. We're at the airport this very moment getting ready to board and fly to London. If you are by chance going to be there then be sure to look for our booth!
