Tutorial
Basic tutorial and explosive barrel tutorial levels
Also added UI for displaying tips for stuff like level-up.
Encounter Zones
New models for encounter zones
New type of encounter: advancing death zone
The zone is a straight line with a few groups of enemies along the way, with a damaging zone that moves forward slowly and stops near the end of the zone (at which point all enemies have been aggroed).
The trick is to keep moving without aggroing too many enemies at once and to try make enemies take damage from the zone.
Encounter mission UI
Added objective description for active encounter to UI, e.g. “Kill all enemies”
UI
Skill description now displays hit & critical chance bonuses instead of total chance, and the bonuses are only displayed if non-zero
Some variables in skill descriptions are now hidden, and can be displayed by holding shift. Skills with any hidden variables display a help text to indicate this.
Background of toggleable menues is now more opaque to prevent encounter selection menu from showing up behind it.
It’s now more obvious which talents can be unlocked and which can’t.
Changed Shaper’s equipment color to be more green to better separate from Darkeye (the mage).
Added a faint glow matching the hero’s colors to make it easier to tell which hero is which. Warrior is blue, Mage orange and Shaper green
Hero health&mana UI is now hidden outside encounters.
Map, crafting and customization buttons are hidden from header menu bar
Enemies
Caster boss (in ‘Boss Circle' encounter) is now immune to all debuffs. Have fun.
AI
Sleep Dart: when cast, any allies who were attacking the target will start to attack other enemies.
Camera
Reduced field of view and increased look distance accordingly (so about same area is visible by default) and lowered camera angle. The effect is that the game looks more isometric-ish.
(Old values: FoW 65, angle 75
New: FoW 30, angle 65)
Less test stuff
Start of game: The heroes no longer have attribute and talent points and no extra items in inventory.
(It’s still possible to use testing tools to get them though)
Bugs
Fixed issues with encounter loading screen
Fixed bug where inventory and skill slots/buttons could register too many clicks for no good reason.
Item dragging in inventory once again works
