 Stats can now be trained to 250!
Right now combat stat bonuses are the same as before. We're looking at ways to adjust things (does DEX do too much or should it have a different role? can we make initiative more fair? can we make DEX and LUK overlap less? does END need a nerf, especially for mobs?), so we're not rolling out any changes yet.

We've updated stat assumptions for items that use your expected stat like Poelala:

Primary: =MAX(MIN(MROUND(2 * Level + 30, 5), 5 * Level, 250), 10)
Secondary: =MAX(MIN(MROUND(4 * Level + 32 - Primary, 5), 5 * Level - Primary, 250), 0)
Tertiary: =MAX(5 * Level - Primary - Secondary, 0)

And we've updated max MP to encourage you to train your INT:

Max MP: =4.1 * (33 + (5.1 + 2.3375 * Level + 0.01125 * Level^2) * MIN(1, INT / MAX(MIN(2 * Level + 4, 250), 10)))

Poelala and Friends
We still feel like Poelala, Dunamis, and Thernda are too powerful. Them being able to fully replace CHA with your stat of choice makes them almost always the best choice for non-BM builds. To help curb them back, they now use (75% of MainStat + 25% of CHA) instead of your MainStat.

Weapon Specials
We decided to tweak 100proc weapons, because who uses bows, anyway? While we're there, 0proc weapons got some love too:
#0proc weapons have gone from +9% additive damage to *1.08 multiplicative damage
#100proc weapons with a proper "special" special have gone from -10% additive damage to *1 multiplicative damage (no penalty/no bonus)
#100proc weapons without a proper "special" special have gone from +2% additive damage to *1.1 multiplicative damage.

Bug Fixes
Just some odds and ends to round out the week ^^
# Imbue should work properly
# Boosters that boost normal player attacks (like Poelala) will only give a Melee-level boost to weapon-based skills (anything that's a normal player attack and has its stat bonuses doubled).
## Example: If Poelala gives a +32% boost to Magic weapons and Dunamis gives +24% with a similar setup, then they'll both give 24% on weapon-based skills.
# Fixed some graphics bugs on Cleric of Carnafax, Spark of Serenia, and Geocastellum armours.
# Fixing some technical bugs with Bloodzerker and Spectral Chains

 Oh, one more thing - I've removed the 200 stat cap from status system saving throws. Before, having to compete with a monster's 275 stat with your 200 was a bit unfair, but now there's not much of a difference between your 250 and the monster's 275. You should be able to handle it, eh?

 Updated weapon special standards:

SBR = (1+10/PROC)*(1+0.03*PowLvl)*(1+MIN(2*PowLvl+30, 5*PowLvl, 250)*(1+0.066*PowLvl)/16/(0.00375*PowLvl^2+0.5625*PowLvl+5.25))
SBTH = PowLvl/4 + MIN(0.2*PowLvl+1.6, 25) 
Level	SBR	SBTH		Level	SBR	SBTH
0	1.5	1.6		80	10.222	37.6
5	2.165	3.9		85	10.814	39.9
10	2.849	6.1		90	11.411	42.1
15	3.292	8.4		95	12.014	44.4
20	3.753	10.6		100	12.621	46.6
25	4.231	12.9		105	13.233	48.9
30	4.723	15.1		110	13.85	51.1
35	5.229	17.4		115	14.17	53.4
40	5.747	19.6		120	14.487	55
45	6.276	21.9		125	14.801	56.3
50	6.815	24.1		130	15.112	57.5
55	7.363	26.4		135	15.419	58.8
60	7.92	28.6		140	15.724	60
65	8.485	30.9		145	16.026	61.3
70	9.057	33.1		150	16.325	62.5
75	9.637	35.4		153	16.504	63.3
Pretty much all weapons released in 2018 have been updated to use these new numbers.

 Game Engine 44.2

  • There's a new option to toggle on old sounds and damage icons.
  • When logging in, it'll load your armour only after it finishes loading the status system, balance engine, etc. This should help prevent bugs like "Bloodzerker is killing me because it's costing NaN HP because it loaded before the balance engine did".

    Fixed a bug where, if you started a battle against a pack monster without the "Ready Inv Before Battle" option on, the game would softlock.

  • Fixed some bugs with the new options not saving properly. Apparently it's bad to store a boolean value as a string ^^;;
  • Old graphics for clovers when using old art.

  • Wars can now be set to disable packs so that you only fight single mobs. Thanks, Cap'n!
  • Fixed an issue where "piña colada" would appear as "pia colada". (I guess it's better than it being a pita colada - strained flatbread sounds disgusting. [Darn, now I'm hungry for a solid pita. {Wait, is this thing still on?}])

    		 I got a PM that making announcements in a thread no one follows is probably a bad idea, so:
    quote:

    I removed the ±20 cap on save modifiers.

    Example: If the save is at a -20 bonus and the monster has Status Weakness (-20), it adds up to -40. Before, this would be capped at -20. Now, you use the full -40.
