PATCH: July 3 – Poison Changes, Creature Specials and more

Poison

• The TasteID skill will no longer reduce a target creature’s Poison Resistance (TasteID will still continue to increase Poison Damage as normal, and players can still reduce Poison Resistance through Poison Kit upgrades / Mastery Chain Links, etc)
• Most creatures with Poison Resistance will now have a Minimum Poison Resistance that they cannot be reduced below with effects (will typically be 1/4th of their normal Poison Resistance, but may be higher for harder content and Bosses)

Hidden Players

• If a player is Hidden and they currently have Poison effects active on multiple creatures, each time a Poison Tick occurs on one of those creatures it will have a (33% (Total Creatures Poisoned – 1)) chance to resolve the poison’s damage as Lesser Poison instead of their actual poison level

Example
Player A is hidden and has a single creature poisoned: poison ticks on that creature will resolve as normal

Player B is hidden and currently has 3 different creatures poisoned: each of those creatures will have a ((3 – 1) * 33%) = 66% chance when resolving poison ticks to resolve their damage as Lesser Poison

Creature Special Resistance

• Higher level creatures (and most Bosses) may now have Special Resistance which provides them with a varying chance to ignore Disease or Bleed ticks

Creature Armor Minimums

• A number of creatures may now have a Armor Minimum which is the minimum value their Armor Rating can be reduced to by player or follower effects such as “Pierce”
• If a creature does have an Armor Minimum, any mechanic that normally would trigger when the creature’s Armor Rating is lowered to 0 or below (such as the Macing Weapon Special) will instead trigger if their Armor is reduced to their Armor Minimum
• Any Melee Attack that Ignores Armor on a creature will resolve damage using the creature’s Armor Minimum
• Tamed or Summoned Followers will not have Armor Minimums

Creature Magic Resist Minimums

• A number of creatures may now have a Magic Resist Minimum which is the minimum value their Magic Resist can be reduced to by player or follower effects such as “Hex”
• If a creature does have a Magic Resist Minimum, any mechanic that normally would trigger when the creature’s Magic Resist is lowered to 0 or below will instead trigger if their Magic Resist is reduced to their Magic Resist Minimum
• Any Spellcast that Ignores Magic Resist on a creature will resolve damage using the creature’s Magic Resist Minimum
• Tamed or Summoned Followers will not have Magic Resist Minimums

Aspects

• Fixed an issue that was causing Ground Trap detonations to not trigger Aspect Weapon/Spellbook Specials for the Gadget Aspect

Creature Spawns

• Fixed an issue that was causing a number of Wilderness creatures to spawn inside of player houses/courtyards

• Netherzone Trophies should now correctly appear as a category in the Trophies page for Achievements (their data was being tracked, just not displaying the entries in the Achievements menu)
• Fixed an issue with a number of Antiquity Registrations not applying towards Mythical Achievements

Explosion Potions

• Drastically reduced the damage that Explosion Potions will inflict on Ships

Archeology Desks

• Players must now be a co-owner of a house in order to Add/Remove/Assemble any Fossil Collections at an Archeology Desk

Mastery Chain Links
