Earlier this week, I added prestige classes for all the characters' base classes. Today, I'm adding the final prestige - Frostslayer+. If you haven't acquired Frostslayer yet, it is obtained by following the Snowdrift Village questline, an optional section of the game northeast of Lvell. The class itself adds "Ice-Killer" as an element to attacks, which functions as neutral/non-elemental except against Ice enemies where it adds a 3x damage multiplier. The new prestige class expands upon the original with enhanced stats, parameters. accessory slots, and three new learnable abilities.
It is with this update that I must inform you that development on Shadowfrost Citadel, formerly "Yuelslain's Monarch", has completely ceased. I won't have the opportunity here to add the second half of the Snowdrift Village questline that leads Ruby & company through Yeul's castle here in CoA1. Rather than yank the entire zone from the game, I'm leaving it for anyone who wants to see where we were going before development had to stop.
Additionally, the requirement to own the DLC titled Eyes in the Frost should be completely disabled. If you run into any prompts saying to download Eyes in the Frost, please let me know ASAP so I can promptly remove it. This DLC, having been incorporated into the base game, has had its store page and functionality removed. Anyone who downloaded it previously still has access. Keep in mind: this was always a free DLC, so ultimately this changes nothing for any of you, but I am required by Steam to keep you (the players) informed of changes to DLC that you have "purchased", even if it was for free. This is a step similar to earlier in the week where we removed the Gift Pack DLCs from the store and incorporated their functionality into the base game. All unfinished DLC development has been terminated to focus on putting some finishing touches here on CoA and begin development on CoA2, which knowing what I know now I'll handle much more efficiently than I handled CoA.
Have you competed in the Zodiac Overwatch yet? If not, download that free DLC and give it a shot! The Zodiac Overwatch can be accessed from the Veil. It contains some of the most difficult battles and best rewards in the entire game!
