120+ Fixes, Mechs and Hover Bikes on 12/7!!!

We are beyond excited to announce that the next patch v1.3.9a will drop on Saturday, December 7th and it will feature over 120+ improvements and bug fixes along with the latest Maiden Exclusive Mech Skin and Hover Bikes.

The mech skin features a changeable headgear/helmet that can be removed to reveal the warmaiden's face for further customization. What is cool about this helmet is that it is color costumizable, comes with the outfit but can also be unlocked without purchasing the outfit and used with other outfits. Pretty neat! The hover bikes are also completely color customizable with each featuring a unique skin that can be customized.

There are a lot of system revamps and improvements like a complete overhaul of the Gear System as well as some quality of life improvements (Bombs in crates are gone and Back to Base in the open area is now back) as well as the first stage in the revamp of our intro motion comic and TONS OF BUG FIXES so be sure to read through the release notes to get the full scope of what is coming in v1.3.9a!!!

As always THANK YOU SO MUCH TO OUR SUPPORTERS THAT HAVE SUPPORTED US! NONE OF THESE IMPROVEMENTS WOULD BE POSSIBLE WITHOUT YOUR FINANCIAL SUPPORT! 

- Maiden Commander

15 - The Bombs in Wooden Crates mechanic has been removed. We've heard the feedback. We had a plan to implement a few other parts of the mechanic that would make it more fun but some have suggested that we added bombs to crates to compel players to purchase pets which couldn't be further from the truth and was absolutely not the intention. We tried the mechanic and thought it was fun but not everything we try will work.

T1 gear can be acquired by defeating world bosses with a new mechanic called 'The Forge' which has players feeding new items called 'Dark Cubes' to gear to enhance them. There are (3) versions of Dark Cubes each work with T1-T3 gear respectively. Enhancing gear has a percentage chance of increasing to add +1-15 with each successful enhancement adding stats to gear. Once the max is reached +15 the gear will graduate to the next tier T1-T3.

T3 versions of the gear will enable the visual aura effect. Skill points on full gear sets have been removed.

Full set effect bonuses are as follows. The idea is to create perks that would help to provide more fun ways to play the class.

Warrior Set Bonus (T1/T2/T3): When HP is below 30%, increase attack damage by 40/60/80 percent and health regen by 2/5/8 percent.

Tank Set Bonus (T1/T2/T3): When taking damage over 100 points, increase attack damage by 40/60/80 percent and health regen by 2/5/8 percent for 10 seconds.

Assassin Set Bonus (T1/T2/T3): When HP is above 80%, increase attack damage by 20/30/40 percent and running speed by 10/20/30 percent.

Healer Set Bonus (T1/T2/T3): When HP is above 80%, increase MP Regen by 40/60/80 percent and defense by 5/10/15 percent.

Sorceress (T1/T2/T3): When MP is below 30%, increase attack damage by 40/60/80 percent and defense by 5/10/15 percent.

124 - We've begun some work cleaning up skills stats. A lot of work needs to be done here so we will take it one step at a time. The first step is to clean up and sync the MP cost for skills. Our current build has skills costing more MP when leveling up the skill which is reverse from normal gaming logic. To keep that in line we have reversed the cost to decrease as skills level up. We have also synced the MP cost accross the type of skill. I.E. - All Q key skills cost the same MP. Below you will find the revamped MP cost for skills. 

Q KEY SKILL MP COST: 150/125/100/75/50 (LVL1/LVL2/LVL3/LVL4/LVL5)

E KEY SKILL MP COST: 200/180/160/140/120 (LVL1/LVL2/LVL3/LVL4/LVL5)

R KEY SKILL MP COST: 250/240/230/220/210 (LVL1/LVL2/LVL3/LVL4/LVL5)

Known Issue: Pressing Alt+F4 or clicking on the 'X' button will open the Exit Manager to force the proper method of exiting the application which is 'Quit Game' on the Exit Manager. If at that point you try to close the Exit manager to avoid quitting the game the Exit Manager will pop-up again expecting you to quit the game. This issue only happens with Alt+F4 or if the 'X' button is used to close the application.

IMPORTANT NOTICE: Due to the complete gear revamp inventory and storage items will be wiped for the 1.3.9a build. Due to the continued changes with the questing system quest progress will also be wiped.
