Patch Note March 9, 2024

NEW BLACK MARKET #

The Black Market has changed! From now on, it will be updated monthly, so you have more time to save Boss Tokens to purchase the item you’d love to have! Also, it will contain more items.. and that means more choices!

  1. A Dark Metal Card Invitation is required at each access
  2. The previous Weekly Pass for donors, has been converted to a Monthly Pass. With a Monthly Pass, you can enter the black market up to 3 times in a month.

SPELLS SYSTEM UPDATED #

We have updated our spells system to support the latest new functions introduced to the game with the latest base game patch. This was a massive task which required us to review around 20k lines of code!

This change will bring benefits to several systems, from spells themselves, to Polymorph special abilities!

DISPEL SYSTEM UN-HARDCODED #

We have completely un-hardcoded the base game dispel mechanic (thanks to latest base game update!)

Our new dispel system will work similarly to vanilla (in terms of math: 1d20 + dispel's caster level vs. 11 + effect creator's caster level), with a few exceptions:

  1. If you try to dispel a hostile creature, you will attempt to dispel only those effects considered a “buff” for such creature. This means you won’t touch hostile effects applied by you or by your allies.
    • In example, yon can completely strip all buffs from a target, without also stripping that Bigby hand debuff you applied to it previously.
  2. If you try to dispel a friendly creature (like a summon or a party member), you will attempt to dispel only those effects considered “hostile” against such creature.
    • In example if you try to remove a Bigby spell from your ally, you won’t risk to also remove other spell “buffs” it has.

This is a big change and we will probably have to tweak the system a little bit. Share with us your feedback on Discord!

HOLY AVENGER REWORK #

With the recent changes to the spells system and to the dispel system, we are finally able to completely rework the Holy Avenger property on weapons.

Our new Holy Avenger property will do:

  1. +1d6 Divine damage against evil targets (this divine damage is ALWAYS added, regardless if such weapon has divine damage coming from other properties/sources)
  2. It attempts do dispel magic on-hit, with a caster level power equal to the Paladin levels of the wielder. If the wielder doesn’t have Paladin levels, it will use 10 as caster level.

Existing weapons with the Holy Avenger property will be migrated to this new custom property.

NOTE: If you had a Holy Avenger gem socketed on a Socketable Weapon, you will have to remove and re-add the gem for it to work with the new property!

POLYMORPH SYSTEM SPECIAL ABILITIES #

With the change explained above to our spells system, we are now able to manually assign a caster level to polymorph abilities!

This means, from now on, you will be able to quickslot all polymorph specific special abilities even at high level!

PALE MASTER LEVELS AS CASTER LEVEL #

From this patch, Pale Master levels will contribute to the character total caster level with a ratio of +1 caster level each 2 Pale Master levels.

In example: level 30 Wizard, 10 Pale Master: old caster level = 30 | new caster level = 35

WORLD BOSSES FROM PLAYERS #

From this patch, some players who happened to donate on the month of February 2024, will be able to spawn World Bosses on ADOH!

World Boss Spawn Rules: #

  1. World Bosses can only be spawned in specific areas, based on the World Boss tier.
    • Each boss has a specific set of areas where it can be spawned
  2. Only one 1 player-created World Boss can be active at a time
    • A player can spawn 1 World Boss each 24 real hours
  3. Once activated, the selected World Boss will spawn in that area in 5 minutes
    • Once activated, a message will be shouted both in-game and on Discord, to warn anyone a World Boss is about to spawn
    • Anyone will be able to take part at the World Boss event
  4. Loot chances are the same for anyone, regardless of the amount of people involved fighting that World Boss
    • The rarity of what is possible to loot scales with the tier of the World Boss (details below)
  5. To be able to loot the World Boss, you need to have actively fought it. A minimum percentage of damage received by the boss has to come from you to be able to loot it
    • This means that both you cannot just stand aside and just wait for it to die, but also you don’t have to be the best DPS in the fight neither. Just fight it, that is all!
    • You can be more of a support class and still be able to damage the boss enough to loot it

LOOT NEED/GREED SYSTEM UPDATE #

We have made the following changes to the Need Power system, when looting items inside of dungeons in party, to evenly increase drop changes for all members in a dungeon/raid run:

NEED Power system update: #

  1. It will cost -5 Need Power to need an item by default
  2. If the item is won, an additional amount of Need Power will be taken from that character, based on the item won:
  3. The need power of a character can never go below 20.

DUNGEONS RUN SYSTEM IMPROVED: #
