    • Holding down left click will now allow the player to continuously swing (melee only)
  • Equipping Gear
    • Delay lowered to 0.75 seconds for all slots

      • There has been a button added to the main menu for anyone who wishes to run through the tutorial again
    • Spawning
      • Named Spawns
        • Have placed a small amount of named spawns to start, will be adding more in the near future from the competition winners.
      • Champion Spawns
        • 3 “test” champions have been added to 3 spawns around center map (image included)
        • These spawns are not what to expect for live, but rather a test bed for the mechanic and to get an idea for the stat and skill usage for our champions in their first iteration.
        • We will be able to change multiple settings from now until launch for these champions that only require a server restart, so your feedback is invaluable
        • Please note that these spawns will require multiple people to complete – they are not easy spawns

    Champion Test Locations

    • Spawn Scaling
      • Spawn scaling works by judging your performance rather than the number of players within the spawn – for the moment we have added spawn scaling to only select spawns (low level goblins, trolls, skeletons, hivekin, ceil fey, zombies, and sarnakhs)
        • Note: We implemented spawn scaling on a mid-tier Greater Mummy spawn that is situated next to a mega spawn for comparison – we would really like to see your feedback on how this works for higher end mobs compared to the current mega spawn mechanic
