- When you create a guild, the Applications List have now 5 different classes to choose from; previously it could contains dupes.
- Health Points and Mana Points are no longer fixed but they change according to the class you're currently playing with; casters have less life and more mana, melee classes have more health and less mana and Amazons, Rangers and Cleric are half way between the others.
- The Action Bar has been redone and now it shows all your abilities; each one of them has a specific icon and if you mouse over it a tooltip will pop out, showing the description of the ability, the damage type and the crowd control effect.
- Frenzy's attack speed buff has been changed, from 5% to 10%.
- Each skill has a new invisible modifier to help balance the health and mana leech according to the skill speed, the number of hits, etc.
UPGRADES
- "Basic Matters" and "Advanced Rulez" upgrades are gone; instead there are now "Des" and "Troy" and they both grant a temporary buff to your damage. "Des" increases your damage for 12 seconds when you use a Primary Skill and "Troy" does the same when you use a Secondary Skill.
- "Not So Dead" has been renamed "Quick Recovery" and it's description has been slightly changed to reflect the fact that it now works for all minions and not only for undeads.
- "My Little Lich" has been changed, your minions will no longer heal your character but only themselves.
SPECIAL EFFECTS
- "Undead Damage" has been renamed to "Minion Damage" and it now grants more damage to all kind of minions and not only to undeads.
- "Multi Tornado" has been substitute with "Multi Ice Shard".
PETS
- Pet abilities have been temporarily deactivated, they will become secondary automatic attacks in a future update.
- Polar Bears are now called Winter Bears.
ITEMS
- Added a new property called "Lock". You can now lock items to prevent selling them accidentally to merchants. You can lock/unlock an item by clicking on them while holding CONTROL. Locked items have an image of a small lock in the top left corner and they are labeled as "Locked" inside the tooltip.
- When you die, up to three of your equipped items will break, therefore a new property called "Condition" has been added. Items can be "Intact" (default condition), "Indestructible" (cannot be broken) or "Broken (worthless junk). Broken Items have a red background, they are labeled "Broken" inside the tooltip and they are worth nothing. At the moment you can't make an item Indestructible, this feature will come in a future update and it will prevent an item to break only for one death.
- "Sell All" buttons no longer sell crafted Jewels.
- Items you cannot use due to their level, have now a red mark in the top right corner.
HELP PANEL
- The Help Panel and the Tutorial Panel are gone and they have been substitute by a new Help Panel.
The new panel will automatically pop out only the first time you launch the game; after that you can access the new panel anytime you want by pressing the default key "H" or by clicking the "Help" button inside the Guild Panel.
LOCALIZATION
- Simplified and Traditional Chinese localization are still missing few lines (mostly inside the Help Panel), the missing lines will be added next week.
