Erenshor V0.2 Patch Notes

Hello Adventurers!

Here are the patch notes for Erenshor v0.2, releasing on 9/26!

• New Class: A fresh class has been added - The STORMCALLER - complete with new skills and spells.

-Stormcallers are skilled in Archery and Storm magic. They combine magic and arrows to do incredibly bursty DPS, crowd control, and are fantastic solo classes.

• Archery & Bows: You can now equip bows and rain arrows on your enemies.

• Alternate Start: Players no longer have to start on Stowaway's Step and can elect to begin their journey directly on Erenshor, without a guided tutorial quest to complete.

• Base run speed reduced (11 → 8) to balance overall pacing and weight of movement

• Strafing and backward movement speeds lowered to be slower than forward movement.

• Party size increased to five (Player + 4 SimPlayers).

• Reworked Group Roles window with full healing matrix support for more precise control.

• Reworked **Group Roles **puller settings to allow for more control over SimPlayer autopulling

• SimPlayers now choose healing spells more intelligently based on the situation.

• Higher-level enemies gain new tricks:

  • Spectral Strike: Hits a secondary target for reduced damage.

  • Enrage: Damage increases the longer they fight.

  • Powerful Strike: A periodic hit 4-6x stronger than normal, preceded by a text warning.

  • Many enemies gained unique AE or other abilities

• Can now inspect SimPlayers from further away for easier gear management and trading.

• Added Time Stones – consumable items that allow players to reset dungeon spawns at will.

• Added Braxonian Fossils - pricey vendor item in Braxonian Desert that have a chance to contain rare loot.

• Arcanists get a new Channeling Skill: end a spell early and still have it cast, or channel it past 100% for bonus damage!

• Proficiency and Respec system added, allowing for new areas of character customization

-Character "proficiency scores" determine how well that character uses a skill. e.g. You can be a paladin who focuses on strength for DPS, or a paladin who focuses on Endurance and Agility to be a better tank.

-Players and SimPlayers can respec proficiencies at no cost in Fernalla's Revival Plains. Experiment!

-"Charm" items directly affect proficiency scores.

• 6+ new quests added.

• Charm Slot items now grant proficiencies instead of flat stats.

• Monster spawn timers adjusted in several zones.
