Greetings!
This week’s server maintenance will start Thu., March 9, 00:30AM CST / 7:30AM CET(UTC+1) / 4:30PM AEST and should last 1h30min (estimated).
There will be a new version v2.0.9 to download this week.
WHAT’S NEW THIS WEEK:
Skill mechanism update: we will revert the change forcing the character to stop in order to cast a skill. Although some players positively welcomed the change, many others found it lacked flexibility in combat. We will consider reintroducing it as an in-game option in the future if possible. Meanwhile the other change made last week to improve the AoE / Ultimate logic will be kept, so the AoE skills may still have better chance to hit than before.
Dailies/Battlegrounds: the dailies related to Battlegrounds will be changed so that it validates only when you finish the battleground, not when you enter it. This will prevent the issue of players entering/leaving the BG just to complete the daily mission.
Translation fixes: The Mage extra skill " Frost Burst" actually increases Fireball damage against Mages using the Frost Armor buff, not against targets affected by your Frost Armor debuff. Also note that the Warrior buff " Protection" increases your HP prior to other HP buff rate increase (typically the Zodiac HP buff %).
Sapphire Shop: minor changes will be made with the addition of Fast Healing Potions and basic Buddy Coffer (daily purchase limit).
Best,
-the Arcane Online team
