Patch Notes v482
Special Event - Game Arena has no Energy Cost!
Starting from this maintenance, we will set all Game Arena modes to cost NO ENERGY!
It was a suggestion from the community to have this as an event and we thought, that's a great idea!
So here you go, we have removed the energy cost for entry to all Game Arena's for the coming weekend and will announce when we'll return it back to normal rates. We hope with the skill update and renewed interest, more of you will sign up and participate in the grand fun and competitions!
Skill Tweaks
As you some of you may know, on the forums there's been a discussion regarding several matters of balance. While we have been monitoring the discussions, we have also joined in on some and the following changes are to help nudge balances between certain aspects of overall game play and certain class power balances. The Skill Update was not intended to be an end-all update, but a way to help nudge balance direction with smaller tweaks per skill.
You will see changes to accuracy passives across the board, which is due to recent discussions over the balance of accuracy vs dodge. Rather than change the formula in how accuracy is applied against dodge, we recognized that accuracy was, for each class, able to generate at a higher rate because every class had a passive for accuracy, but not for dodge. This reduction across all classes should help with those who with to invest in to dodge via stats and equipment. CON based classes will still see a higher accuracy rate than most classes, along with their passives are generally stronger still as before.
