Changes as at 07/08:
- Fixed priorities on equip actions. Equipping mid combat should now work properly.
- Increased damage arrows do to boats.
- Only allow shooting arrows at boats that have a commander.
- Repairing a boat that has a commander should no longer be possible.
- Boats speeds should now be updated when damaged or repaired.
- Tweaked boat speeds to be a bit higher, with QL having a larger impact. (5/13 passengers, 8/13 QL)
- Removed priest characteristic gain nerfs.
- Lowered archery difficulty. Please test this one thoroughly in PvP combat, PvE combat and with the different armour penalties.
- Fixed a bug that made special moves use the wrong hit locations and damage amounts.
- This is what was causing some special moves to deal way too much damage compared to what they were designed for.
- Tweaked special moves to be a bit more balanced, and do a bit more damage compared to their original intended design.
- The damage amounts will still be a lot lower than they are currently, but still high enough in some instances to be worth using.
- Stun timers have been significantly reduced, with a range between 2 and 4 seconds now. Was between 3 and 9 seconds.
- Added a stun resistance similar to spell resistance, but with a shorter timer. (2.5 minutes to go from 50% to 0% resistance)
- Consecutive stuns should have a chance to outright fail depending on the resistance and when the last successful stun occurred.
