Warlock 099c announced
Expect test versions to be uploaded soon.
* star indicates what is yet to be done
New:
* Combo event on simultaneous Scourge instances (will impact the outcome of Inquisitor's redemption ability)
- Time shift can no longer be detected by maphack, but the shade can still be seen by players of same team. (IN YOUR FACE, maphackers!).
- Time Shift now has an action button to end Time Shift before it expires.
- Staff of Fireball remade: For each consecutive fireball hit, you cause +1 second of burn damage. Using Scourge adds 1 second as well. Not hitting anything with fireball will return burn duration to 0 seconds.
- Bouncer (Recharge) now deals consecutive damager per hit (adds 5% damage to base damage for each consecutive hit)
- New team-colored drain missile (by EroticSideburns)
Fixes:
- Fixed some old code issues involving deathmatch and time shift
(more to be added)
- Fixed a drain bug causing the projectile not to have the right angle
- Fixed an animation bug of Scourge
* Fixed an issue causing smoothness problems on almost all spells. Spells can now be cast right after each other without artificial delay (all spells still have a natural cast delay)
Balances:
- Multiport cooldown has been altered (a general buff for mid-high level)
- In king mode, when king dies, the players on his team now lose 2 hp/s instead of 10hp/s
If you would like to see any specific changes, do post your suggestions.
Note that new spells are postponed for post 1.00 where new spell books will be introduced. Changes to the current spells can be done though.
