Patch Note January 20, 2021

NWSYNC for ADOH:
A Dawn of Heroes now requires NWSync. Upon your first login into ADOH you will automatically download the necessary files required to play in sync with the server. Each time the files will be updated, you will be prompted to download the differences.

  1. For the moment, only mere settings files are needed, which means the download will be very small (around 15 MB)
  2. In the future, thanks to NWSync we will have the chance to add much more custom content.

NEW CUSTOM ENCOUNTERS:
Added a new encounter system which replaces entirely the default from Bioware. 
This encounter system will consider Races & Rubraces ECL when spawning out creatures.

  1. NOTE: This means that a level 1 Vampire (ECL +3), will spawn creatures as for a level 4 normal human. XP will be higher, but also the challenge. Be careful.
  2. Many more customizations are now possible thanks to this new system, and we will get even more benefits with future updates.

ADJUSTMENTS:

Player Corpses:

  1. If a player corpse gets destroyed or moved into an invalid area (limbo), by a DM, the corpse is re-created at that player faction cemetery

Free Resurrection:

  1. Players accidentally killed by AOEs from non-party member non-hostile characters are now granted a Free Resurrection

Trade Hall:

  1. The Trade Hall automatically reduces the amount of available items each Monday by a random % per item

Party Range:
While a wide party range was a benefit for lowbies, too much range would end up in high level players doing all the work and leave the lowbies behind, learning nothing.

These are the new party ranges:

  1. Max level of difference between Highest member and Lowest member reduced to 8 (was 10)
  2. Max level gap between highest member and party average reduced to -4 (was -5)

Outsider Shape:

  2. If the character has Maximize Spells or Empower Spells, rakshasa spells are maximized or empowered as well automatically (maximize takes priority over empower)

Polymorph Shapes:

  1. Adjusted all shapes default stats
  2. Shifter with 30 levels will have better shapes and 1 more attack
  3. Monk class won’t merge AC or AB progression anymore
  4. AC from items: as before, still only the highest from items is counted
  5. AC from shape: each shape gets both dodge and armor AC from polymorphing

Donor Skins:

  1. Reviewed Skin Tokens prices overall (aligned with current world economy)
  2. Added MANY more skins
  3. Added Premium skins obtainable with on-time donations

Note about premium skins: it is still possible to obtain these skins with the in-game Skin Token currency.

Nordock Items Cost:
The economy on ADOH has evolved over the past months, many more Epic and Boss Tokens can now be found in Dungeons & Raids, to not talk about QM driven events.

This made Nordock items to lose value, and so their cost in Boss Tokens. 

These are the new costs:

  1. Armors, Shields, Helmets, Amulets, Belts, Ammunitions: 15 Boss Tokens
  2. Anything else purchasable: 10 Boss Tokens

Due to this change, the Boss Tokens obtained from scrapping a Nordock Item has been slightly increased.
