Minor Bug Fix
-Alternate chat warning should now only properly trigger when someone tries to use the command on the main channel. Warning cooldown increased from 10 mins to 20 mins
-Picking up a Vault Key in Offline Mode should properly trigger the vault key collection achievement now (previously only possible in Twitch Mode)
-Lead Moderator now properly counted as a Moderator in your channel
-Vault Keys weren't dropping after last patched - fixed now
-Tweaked the code to reduce the occurence of the battle ending before Phoenix revive
-Fixed visual bug where Abomination's Flesh Zombie has the wrong default position if the Abomination dies while attacking (eg. to a Lava Shield)
-Arcana Engine now properly unshackles after beating Doomsday final boss without Doomsday spell
-Dread Lich and Omega Dragon can no longer drop via chest
-"Advanced Doomsdays Clock" objective now properly updates itself as Doomsday progresses

Changes
-Buying a minion now generates a bot reply
-Killing a Herald Boss should now prevent another Herald Boss from spawning within at least 6 minutes. This is to avoid the possibility of another Herald Boss spawning before the gem is picked up (items have 5 minutes before they despawn in the lobby)
-Normal minion's avatar now has a 5% chance to drop a Vault Key (Previously only bosses can drop Vault Keys)
-Bosses Vault Key Drop Rate increased from 25% (up to 3 keys) to 34% (up to 3 keys)
-Starting Autohunt prevents your avatar from despawning for 2 hours - for now.
Note on Autohunt: Autohunt only works as long as Twitch detects that you're still in the stream. If you leave the stream / left too many Twitch tabs on, the game might despawn you.
Shuffle Spell Slight Revamp
Shuffle has seen very minimal play as its use is super situational and its initial cost is hefty. The spell has been updated and now... we finally have a spell that does Magic damage!
Old Shuffle:
-200 Energy Cost base, decreases as it levels up (capped at 200 Energy reduction)
New Shuffle:
-150 Energy Cost base, decreases as it levels up (capped at 145 Energy reduction)
-Does minor Magic damage to all enemies While it doesn't look like a huge change on paper, this potentially turns Shuffle into a spell that does the most damage per Energy spent at high level.
It still retains its original utility to scramble warband positioning.

Battle Overtime
Running out of time in battle feels the battle feel inconclusive. Introducing Battle Overtime - when you run out of time in battle, the battle goes into overtime, and additional time is added (5 seconds x remaining minions quantity)
1st Overtime: Minions deal 3x more damage
2nd Overtime: Minions deal 5x more damage
3rd Overtime: Minions deal 7x more damage
After the 3rd Overtime, the battle ends as usual regardless of battle conclusion. In theory, the extra damage should push the battle to end before a "timeout".
Any damage buff is always to the disadvantage of healing/defensive-based teams, we will buff these affected teams if needed.

Connecting To Twitch Server
A few players have encountered problem connecting to port 6667. While 6667 is the easiest port to connect to, many internet service providers deem it as unsecured and attempts to block connection.
We have now upgraded the game to attempt to connect to either of two SSL ports (6697 and 443) before trying to connect to 6667. SSL connection is generally considered more secure as the data traffic is encrypted, and requires more steps to authenticate the connection (all handled by the game).
