*Supreme creature rate has been changed. They were spawning way too often, these are supose to be very rare. Even finding an easy one is rewarding simply due to its rarity.

*Fixed Supreme creature skill setting process, and added AI changement, so that they use the enhanced AI.

* Rabid Squirrels and dread squirrels now take 2 control slots. They will be globally changed as these can be abused a lot when used in packs. Stats maxes have been slightly increase as a compensation for this. Keep in mind these pets spawn with very variable stats.

*Fixed bug where revealing items that require to target (such as explosion potions and bolas) cancels the target even if not hidden.

*Fixed a bug in linked skill deeds where link goes null if player is deleted.

*Hydras and abcess is now vulnerable to reptile and snake slayer

*Focus now has 1.5 times more effect on mana and stamina regen.

*Med now has 1.5 times more effect on mana regen.

*Contaminating Slime (Masterpiece Resource), now drops on certain creatures related to poison.

*Pyrolisks will now attack if they see you instead of only attacking once targetted.

*These named creatures have had their stats/skills/hues changed to be more accurate: pyre, tangle, thrasher, saliva, coil.

*Enchanted bubbles summoned by water fiends in the Submersia Palace ruins have been toned down a bit HP wise. The regular spawns remain the same.

*Charybdis' base damage for hits has been slightly altered. Also, the bug where it did not have mana to do its special shots has been fixed and it can now do paralyzing blow and whirlwind as it was meant to have done.

*Exorcism can now be used on "ghost" monsters in doom or other dungeons. Exorcising has a chance of removing them.

*Submersia Palace ruins quest keys have had their timers reduced to 1hr and a half from 6 hours.

*Water necklace and palace key items will now tick every 20 minutes to save on processing.

*Jormundgand's Whirlwinds now varry in damage from low damage to high damage.

*Dreadhorn's loot pack has been altered to drop more loot than it previously did. Parrots will now also drop on its corpse

*Jormundgand and Dreadhorn will now drop random amounts of masterpiece resources on their corpse.

so instead of 1 MR per 10 med its 1.5 mr per 10 med? so 3 for 20, 4.5 for 30, and so on?

Thank god that Dreadhorn's loot has been changed. That was the most anti-climactic battle I've ever fought. But I must say that the best battle I've ever had was today, versus a Supreme Plover. That was one pissed off bird.

Yeah basically. So at 100 med instead of 10 mr its 15 gm focus is about 8 or so mr. But I noticed med is also affected by int in some way, I did not fully look at the formula, but its variable, so its not always 1.5mr per 10 med, it seems to change based on int as well as med. Like under GM its less effective then at GM. But to keep things simple the way I did it, having 100med is like having 150 med before the change. Same with focus. This goes for stam regen as well.

lol I think we're all aware of dreadhorn's rage (Seriously, that is one pissed off unicorn). The peerless loot packs will be actively tweaked and changed to make it worth fighting. After all, they take a good 1 - 2 hrs to kill. My worst supreme yet was probably the china pk one in fel but I think ryan left that behind. The changeling paragon supreme was rather nasty too.

lol okay i hate to keep bringing this up but....

targetting works great now with the explosion pots. However, they now do 0 damage when they hit their target. Was fighting a couple argentinians in buc's tonight, and they didn't even take off 1 hit point. just exploded on them.

lol it's good that you keep bringing it up if there are still problems with them. We don't know about these things unless somebody mentions them or we find them out for ourselves.

well I was mainly upset because I had the one guy completely by surprise.... Fukiya from hiding, popped out with a paralyzing blow, throw explo, death strike + hit + hit lightning, he ran away with 5 hit points... if that thing had of worked, i'd be laughing lol

That's too little. Today by the time I managed to get a key off leviath after respawning him a couple of times, my dolphinus key was half expired already...

No soloing for us, huh? :< But think thats the idea, so you'd need a team to pick all the keys in time.

The idea is to have enough people to get the keys in time. It will take teamwork to get all the keys. The named have a 1 in 3 chance of dropping a key and they respawn quickly. Nevertheless, I will go in there and test the keytimers to make sure they don't expire too quickly.
