Version 2.1

back to versions list

What was added:

• Added FORGING command. !forging weapon name' allows a player to get a random weapon boost. The cost is 2x the cost of the weapon's BlackOrbs and 1 RepairHammer. The extension is completely random and will overwrite any current extensions.
• Added active skill: BloodSpirit. This skill works like BloodBoost, only instead of STR it gives INT.
• Added Passive Skill: Divine Blessing. This skill reduces the chance of a curse night occurring. It's a cumulative effect (similar to BackGuard)
• Added the ability to view the total number of monster and boss deaths. Use !deathboard monster/boss total
• Added the ability to use!theconquest points . to see how many capture points the leading group (monsters or heroes) has
• Added the ability to control the shadow clones. First, you have to use the Doppelganger style, otherwise they trade  still itself. Next, when it's the clone's turn, use !shadow (command [tech/skill name]) (target) Commands are: taunt, attack, tech, skill. Example !shadow tech inferno bee
• Added !info style (style)' command to display information about the different styles.
• New valid battlefield restrictions have been added to the system.
• Added the ability to set a custom maximum orb limit for Gauntlet battles. Game admins can change this via !set MaxGauntletOrbReward num.
• Added a new skill type: Killer Traits. These abilities increase melee damage against a specific monster type by 1% per level
• Added a new method in the system that checks how many battles are empty/unplayed. If it is greater than 10, the system automatically resets the streak to 0.
• Added Dragonballs to the game. Dragonballs can only be found randomly by winning boss fights. When all 7 are collected, Shenron the Dragon grants a powerful bonus to the next ten active battles.
• Added the command !show dragonballs' that shows the status of dragon ball hunting or whether Shenron's wish is active.
• Added the command: !misc info (person) which displays various statistical information about yourself or other characters.
• Added Black Keys & Chests.
• Added the ability for all techs that use a weapon that can hurt ethereal monsters to also hurt ethereal monsters. Previously, only magic techniques would damage them or players needed the buffs.
• Added the ability for game admins to adjust the time chests take before they are destroyed. Write !Set ChestTime number
• Added Power Boost Techs. These are special techniques that can only be used with Power Boost turned on. They are not tied to any weapon but still consume HP like a normal tech.
• Two special anniversary monsters have been added that will only appear in July to celebrate the anniversary of game creation.
• Added a way for monsters/bosses to be immune to QuickSilver
• Added a new negative status effect: removeboost. If used on someone who has been boosted, the target will be knocked out of that boost. It doesn't work on FinalGetsuga or weapon boosts.

Changes:

• Changed the ThirdEye active skill to only work on physical attacks. It also now has its own avoidance message.
• Changed the chance for certain monsters to build a demon portal from 35% to 25%.
• Changed the AbsorbIG augment to be weaker on players and stronger on monsters.
• Changed Just Release so shadow copies can't use it.
• Alchemy/Crafting changed so crafted items can require more than one ingredient. For example, glass now requires 5 sand to craft.
• A little code optimization in the system to make things better.
• Changed Shadow Clones to only switch weapons when their owners do.
• Changed the "Hurt Ethereal" rune so that techniques performed with the weapon bearing this rune will now hurt Ethereal monsters.
• Changed food and shop shutdown items to work in combat without consuming a turn. Note: If you use food during a fight, the value will only increase AFTER the end of the fight. This applies to everyone, not just players in combat.
• Changed the functionality of the "only melee attack" seal so that it is now based on battlegrounds and no longer in a random way.
• Changed the way capture points are calculated. There is no longer a penalty if more than one player is in combat. However, the overall score was slightly toned down.
• Changed the way the scoreboard is generated so the scores are a bit more reasonable. Game admins can toggle between the old and new methods by using !toggle scoreboard type . use
• Changed the !Save Battle Level command to be used once every hour instead of once every 2 hours
• Changed the !reload Battle Level command to work on a win streak as long as it is 10 or less.
• Changed the number of Conquest Points players lose if the battle is lost in the first round.
• Changed portal items to no longer function during gauntlets and boss fights.
• Changed a lot of code to make it much more efficient. The system should now be faster when deleting files.
• Changed Golden Chests to remove black BlackOrbs from them. This was due to system generated bosses being able to use golden chests as a drop pool and when they dropped a BlackOrb it was not being added properly.
• Demon Walls have been changed to be turn based instead of a timer. By default, players lose after the 10th round (i.e. at the start of the 11th round).
• Healing techniques have been changed to not heal demon portals (it only heals 0 damage).
• Changed the AI code slightly to avoid the "Error: not currently in this fight!" display message.
• Changed the regeneration skill formula, it is now: ((max HP * skill level %) / 2)
