Update 0.8 — Fixes and Improvements

Update v0.8 brings a large set of fixes and improvements to combat, pets, personal shops, professions, the interface, and several core game systems.

Mounts

• Mounts now correctly travel across deep water instead of moving along the bottom.
• Character position, camera, and nameplate now remain above the water surface.
• Other players also see mounted characters correctly while they are moving across water.

Monsters

• Monster name color now depends on the level difference between the monster and your character:
  • gray — 7 or more levels below you;
  • green — 2–6 levels below you;
  • white — your level or ±1 level;
  • orange — 2–5 levels above you;
  • red — 6 or more levels above you.
• Colors update automatically after your character levels up.
• The same color rules are now used in the target frame.
• Monsters now correctly roam around their areas again on locations where they previously remained stationary.
• Reduced the amount of time monsters remain idle while roaming.

Items and Quality

• Item name color now fully matches the quality color shown on the item icon.
• This has been corrected across all major interfaces:
  • tooltips;
  • shops;
  • trade;
  • loot;
  • crafting;
  • boxes;
  • pets.

Announcements

• Enhancement, boss kill, and administrator announcements no longer overlap the selected target frame.
• Enhancement announcements are now shown only for purple, green, and gold-quality items.
• Enhancement announcements now begin at +10.
• An announcement is shown only when:
  • the enhancement succeeds;
  • the item is destroyed.
• Failed attempts with no change or a lost enhancement level no longer create global announcements.
• Boss kill and enhancement announcement settings are now correctly saved after leaving the game.

Controls and Hotkeys

• The Reset All to Default button no longer changes your character name to Hero.
• Improved key binding behavior:
  • the settings list no longer scrolls back to the top after every change;
  • key assignment only begins after clicking with the mouse;
  • Space and Enter no longer accidentally start key assignment.
• The upper row of the skill bar now uses F1–F12, as in the original game.
• If an F-key is already assigned to another action, the existing binding remains unchanged.

Combat and Visual Effects

• Removed unnecessary weapon-hit sounds and visual flashes from:
  • spells;
  • curses;
  • burning;
  • poison;
  • other damage-over-time effects.
• This type of damage is now shown only as a damage number above the target and an entry in the combat log.
• Weapon hit effects remain only for actual melee attacks, ranged attacks, and Splinter.
• Fixed cases where a Return Scroll could incorrectly consider the character to still be in combat even though the enemy was no longer actively fighting.

Combat Log

• Combat log entries now show the name of the skill that dealt the damage.
• This works for:
  • your skills;
  • opponent skills in duels;
  • monster skills.
• Reflected damage is now correctly labeled with the corresponding reflection effect.
• If reflected damage is fully absorbed by the target’s defense, the combat log correctly displays 0 damage.

Equipment Merchants

• Yazark, Paton, and Horil now sell equipment again.
• Suren in Alpia also has an expanded selection.
• Merchants now offer a full range of equipment for different classes and levels:
  • weapons;
  • shields;
  • helmets;
  • armor;
  • gloves;
  • pants;
  • boots.
• Fixed shop window positioning on smaller screen resolutions.

Battle Mage

• Fixed the second Battle Mage Soul Guardian, Hell Destroyer.
• Every attack or skill against an enemy now reduces the healing they receive by 10% for 10 seconds.
• Fire and Dark damage bonuses remain unchanged.

High Reforging

• Significantly expanded the list of additional properties that can appear during high reforging.
• The additional property is now selected from the full list of attributes available for that item type.
• A property that already exists on the item can also appear again.
• The reforging window now shows the complete list of possible properties and their chances.
• For example:
  • staffs now have 11 possible properties instead of 3;
  • mage robes now have 8 instead of 2.

  • health regeneration during combat has been reduced;
  • the skill values now represent regeneration over 5 seconds.
• Health regeneration while sitting remains unchanged at 0.9% of maximum HP per second.

  • archers and crossbow users;
  • mages.
• Players who have already passed these levels will automatically receive any missing titles.

Skill Evasion

• It is now possible to evade not only basic attacks, but also skills.
• This applies to both players and monsters.
• Monsters have a 5% chance to evade character skills.
• Character evasion chance depends on:
  • Dexterity;
  • evasion buffs;
  • pets.
• When a skill is successfully evaded:
  • it deals no damage;
  • it does not apply poison;
  • it does not stun;
  • it does not slow;
  • it does not apply other negative effects.
• Damage-over-time effects, traps, bombs, reflected damage, and healing continue to work as before.
• The combat log now shows which skill was evaded.

Personal Shops

Seller Behavior

• A character with an open personal shop now remains in place.
• If the shop pose is interrupted, the character automatically returns to the selling position.

  • after a successful evolution, the pet now correctly changes into its evolved form.
• Pets can now continue gaining experience and leveling after evolution.
• Fixed pets that previously stopped gaining experience after evolving.
• A result window is now shown after synthesis or evolution:
  • resulting pet;
  • rank;
  • rarity;
  • level.
• If synthesis or evolution produces a pet of green rarity or higher, a global announcement is shown.
• The global announcement banner can be disabled in the settings.
• Fixed small pet bonuses:
  • 1% bonuses are no longer displayed as +0%;
  • they now correctly affect character stats.
• Fixed large pet experience gains:
