This update was intended to be the big introduction to quests. Well the quests aren't quite ready yet so this update is intended to fix some combat issues and other details that came up during the recent expo we were presenting at.
Balance changes:
- Reduced all weapons to a single damage type. Now rather than a sword doing normal damage + elemental, it will only do elemental. (Also all elemental weapons were slightly buffed)
- Combined magic armor/shield into a single 'buff'
- Removed shield from armors as it added unneeded complexity
- Throwing knives have had their damage reworked to scale correctly on stats
- All melee weapons can parry and block again. Blocking right as an enemy attacks will parry.
- Added star system: More difficult enemy variants will have a star on their health bar, two stars for even more difficult ones. Starred enemies will usually have new abilities or a different weapon. (This is still a work in progress)
