1-17-2020

• Factions (GateKeeper) Status: Started the brunt of the coding and figuring out what is needed to accomplish the desired features this week. As of this moment seems next week will allow me to focus on just that, so I should be able to knock out the configuration details (Loading of them) and linking the teleport system to your faction. Next step will be interfaces that you see if not a member or a member.

Update 323

1-24-2020

• Factions System Updated: Not as far as I wanted to this week, though not to far behind where a few good days can't have me back on target. Once I finish up the full config loading of the of System and Faction components then will be able to start with saving and reloading of player data.

• Today System will be in testing this week but nothing that causes me to fix since most of the code will be next used on the 14th of Feb. Still moving steadily towards my goal of getting this system where I envisioned it. If things go well, next month would love to see it used for a stag event and free gift event.

Publish 70 - April 2020

Update 334

4-3-2020

• Pit Lord Magma Augment Update: Restructured the process for calculating damage, did find an error in the math. All tests at this point were with baseline gear, so there may be another adjustment once I get a feel for how it is working with different gear sets.

Update 335

4-17-2020

• Magic Resist Skill Update: Verified and added a few sanity checks. Seems like a good place to start with a test run this weekend. I fully expect it to need tweaking and adjustments. This is merely a starting point. The idea is to give the skill new meaning and lower the damage from spells
• Deco Deeds Added: 33 new items from Sayla and Domino
• Coin Minting System Updated: Math behind the coin press was following the intended desire, it has been re-coded. Tinkering is still the skill check for success and SS, Alchemy, Luck are used to determine the number of coins minted.
• Bank Tile Updated: Bag hue changed by request.
• Artifact Grinder Updated: 90 Artifacts added to the loot table, should cover a great deal of them but also sure I am missing some as well. When the list does get finalized I will release this but there are still tons of corrections needed I imagine. Test went well with the grinder, did not verify the powders with a double check but as soon as the grinder event gets started I will do that and then start making the rest of the skill powders.
