Code updates: Survival, postures, notice, backstab/charge, CoL/HoL titles, and Tanchico
Posted: Tue Jan 25, 2022 10:26 am
Several code updates are now live:
- Children of Light and Hand of Light now have the "Child" pre-title if they aren't clan masters (who are still Lords/Ladies) [brought to you by Itesh]
- Trollocs now gain additional movement regen that scales with pracs in Survival. Base regen is unchanged. This bonus is reduced (though still active) when you are haggard. This change will bring trolloc mobility more into line with horses, whose cheaper movement terrain costs mean their effective regen is quite a bit stronger than trollocs. The availability of human blood and vials in DS shops will be adjusted, but overall this is a mobility gain.
- Master Postures' OB and PB bonuses have been decreased, to lower the combat gap between masters and non-masters. The new bonuses are:
- Offensive: +5 OB
- Normal: +3 OB, +2 PB
- Defensive: +5 PB
- A movement cost has been added to Backstab and Charge. It is 2 for Trollocs and 1 for everyone else (different due to Trollocs' larger movement pool). This is because of the defensive play style that has emerged with people sitting in a room spamming backstab/charge to gain the advantage. We want the play style to reward more offensive behavior.
- The maximum effect of Hide's skill impact in Hide vs Notice checks has been capped, as mobs' skills go beyond 99% as they scale with level. This was causing extremely high level mobs like that one grey man (we all know the one) and the assassins in Shadowspawn Stronghold to be effectively invisible regardless of your notice level. Now they are still very hard to detect, but not completely invisible if you have high notice levels. Zero impact to players hiding since you never scale beyond 99%.
- Seanchan can now rent properly in western Tanchico with a Tanchico warrant
