Of course, after all these general gameplay changes, follow the class ones!

We’ve spent over two years building this server from the ground up with one principle in mind: make combat feel as satisfying as it should’ve always been. Classes in the game have always had their own unique gimmicks. Hence, most of the changes listed below are aiming to increase the QoL while not taking away what makes each class unique. To that end, there will be no universal 1 minute burns. That being said, we are willing to explore different solutions to the possible syncing issue.

Slaying

Slaying is now back in the game! A lot of players, us included, enjoyed that dual – edged gameplay and we feel like the changes we have made to it will bring a lot of QoL to this playstyle. In detail:

• New – Slaying Charm I: Using this charm, will instantly cause damage equal to 60% of the user’s Max HP. In addition, Healing will be reduced by 90% until the effect is cancelled.
• New – Slaying Charm II: Using this charm, will instantly cause damage equal to 60% of the user’s Max HP. In addition, Healing will be reduced by 99% until the effect is cancelled.
• New – Slaying Charm III: Using this charm, will instantly cause damage equal to 60% of the user’s Max HP. In addition, Healing will be reduced by 100% until the effect is cancelled.
  • Note: When using Slaying Charm III, users will still be able to heal by using a Superior Recovery Potable. Potions that heal a % of the user’s Max HP will still not provide any healing.

Mounts passives

Moving on to mount combat passive changes! Players used to have to spend immense amount of time and effort into obtaining them to have any relevance when it comes to Leaderboards, thus we decided to tweak them. They should be a nice to have when it’s there but not necessary for any relevant gameplay type of buff.

• The 2.0 and the 1.5 buffs, are now reduced to 1.5 and 1.25 respectively.
• Dragons and Phoenixes will now have a 29 second Cooldown and an uptime of 6 seconds each.
• Dragons and Phoenixes will not be able to override one another and the bigger buff will take precedence while the other (if also active) will be paused and resumed after the bigger one goes on CD.

Card system

When the card system was first introduced, the community expressed mixed feelings — and understandably so. We feel that the system brought along issues (The excessive grind, heavy RNG dependency, and repetitive content loops) that outweighed its benefits and created more frustration and confusion rather than engagement. That is why we've decided that the best course of action is to remove the card system entirely for the foreseeable future.We believe this is a necessary step toward making the game more accessible, enjoyable, and rewarding for everyone.

Partners

Much like the cards system, the combat partners available in game are also being removed. The heavy RNG, pay-to-win elements, and combat imbalance they created led to too much variance in performance and all in all went against the experience we want to offer. Because of this, we've decided to remove combat boosting partner abilities entirely for the foreseeable future while preserving non-combat related ones.
