Game updates/2017-03-08

March 8 Hotfix

This hotfix addresses a few data issues with the March 4 update.

Gazluk Keep Changes:

- Half the time when using the entrance to the "labyrinth" dungeon, you would enter Gazluk Keep instead.

- Elite monsters in Gazluk Keep have been boosted by 1 eliteness level, which equates to about +4000 max health in most of their cases.

- The bosses and named elites in Gazluk Keep have been increased by 1 or 2 bossiness levels, which will equate to a 20% to 50% increase in their max health, and a small increase in armor and damage.

- The bosses and named elites in Gazluk Keep have higher chances for extraordinary, epic, and legendary loot.

- Gazluk Armory Chests now have slightly better loot, but require 3 Gazluk Armory Keys instead of 1.

- Elite Gazluk officers now have a chance to drop a few new miscellaneous items that can be stacked in high numbers. This should reduce the amount of equipment dropped from hallway troops a bit, which speeds up play because you don't have to manage your inventory as often.

- The Shower Slime boss in Gazluk Keep is the appropriate level now. Note: this boss still doesn't have a warning screen until the next client update, so be careful!

We'll continue to fine-tune the difficulty of Gazluk Keep based on your continued feedback -- so keep sending it in! Please remember that the difficulty is based on a group size of six.

Other Changes:

- The "Galvanizer" staff can no longer be generated with melee-staff treasure mods.

- The "Tactician's Halberd" and the various craftable Melee Staves will no longer be generated with fire-magic or ice-magic treasure mods.

- Recipes for special Gazluk abilities are now considered ability scrolls for purposes of selling.

- Treat Disease 3 can now cure instances of the Glowy Yellow Crystal Sickness.

- Fixed a bug that caused you to earn too much XP and Combat Wisdom when in groups.

These bugs can't be fixed in a hotfix, but will be included in the next full update:

- The flicker on the classic mage robes style helm.

- A giant mushroom is blocking the way in the Kur Wolf Cave.
