SubBuild 2015.11.05 :

New Features :
- Party Creation : added 8 new Guardians, so you'll have 1 Guardian to choose for each specialization
- Localization : French & German Languages added, and English proofread ! (to change the Language, go to Options -> Interface -> Choose Language)

Bug Fixes :
- 1st Boss was dropping an useless cube, instead of a good cloak

[manutoo]

Build 36, November 10th:

New Features :
- Video : Field of View (FOV) option
- Game : you can now turn off the auto-saving at the end of fight in Game Options
- Controls : hotkey to toggle Dps graph display (G by default)
- Menu : Interface menu now always shows a Mob Frame, so it'll make clear the use of the Upper Scale slider
- GUI : tooltip of Mob's castbar now shows the target of the ability (if it's a toon)
- GUI : added current target name in the Mob tooltip, and added the target portrait on its left
- GUI : added the possibility to highlight Items when dropped by Mobs (in Options -> Game Options -> Helpers)
- Controls : added shortcut keys for Attack & Select icons
- Map Editor : added a "New Dungeon" button in the "Load Dungeon" menu
- Party : added AutoPause ; if turned on (in Options -> Game Options -> Helpers), the game will pause when a toon used up all his queued abilities, and on enemy death if it was not the last one

Changes :
- GUI : size of bag icon when looting increased (however it's much faster to just right-click to loot )
- Dungeon : the floor of the Level 1's Boss has been upped a bit, so he'll be able to attack your Party if you're standing on the side
- Party : Ranger's Ranged Attack Power wasn't using AGI nor STR, so it wasn't raising like expected ; I slightly lowered the efficiency of the Ranger's Abilities to compensate his extra RAP, thanks to let me know if it's correctly balanced or not

Bug Fixes :
- Sound : Male Voice #4 was missing
- GUI : interface scale wasn't saved
- Game : internal state was corrupted if you were going back to the Main Menu during the Intro (which was leading to passing through doors, enemies not seeing you, etc.)
- Save : using 3 characters for the name of a saved game was giving bad result
- Map Editor : fixed the dungeon loaded when starting a new game if you had loaded & saved a hidden Dev dungeon
- Combat : fixed a game loop crash that could occur when using the Dual Shot of the Ranger
- Puzzle : the 3-urn puzzle of Level 3 now resets when removing all urns, which allow to pass it if it bugged when putting the urn
- Party : it was possible to get the portrait corrupted when creating a new character during the party creation
- Party : voices weren't reassigned after loading a saved game
- Party : game was crashing when falling while Righteous Shield was up on a toon, or when you had picked some special talent (eg: Assassin's Gone with the Wind)
- Party : projectiles' start point was incorrect after have swapped the position of 2 toons
- Achievements : Regroup was granted when on party wipe
- Linux : game couldn't start if the locale settings of the system weren't using the dot as the decimal separator for numbers
- Controls : Alternate Key wasn't assigned on game start if there was no default Alt Key
- Loot : loot should be now correctly spawned when you start a new game
- Loot : best loot wasn't spawned correctly ; the bug is still not fixed on start, but if you load your game, it'll spawn it ; ie: if you see some useless cubes, save & reload and it'll be fine ; if the cubes are in your inventory, put them on the floor 1st
- Loot : enchantments on spawned loot (ie: not dropped by mobs) were 100% random instead of being targeted for your toons, thus 50% of the spawned loot had very little value ; with this update, it'll be fixed for the following levels ; in your current level it'll be only fixed for some of the loot
- Talents : using Assassin's Mug ability while wearing a shield was creating a whole series of strange bugs
- Talents : the Assassin's Side Attack Talent was doubling then tripling the Agility instead of adding 1 then 2 points to it !
- Talents : Eternal Bloom wasn't refunding the mana correctly

SubBuild 2015.11.11 :

Changes :

Bug Fixes :
- Talents: Etheric Energy chance was 8% on 1st rank instead of 4%
- Party : the party could move even if all toons were stunned if one of them was unconscious
- Party : the party could get stuck in combat mode when a toon was unconscious (and if it happens in other cases, now saving & reloading will fix it)
- Talents : Druid's Tree Form didn't boost the healing except for the direct healing on the Druid
- Talents : Druid's Acute Persistence wasn't activating the critical chance for the HoT

[manutoo]

SubBuild 2015.11.12 :

New Features :
- Loot : item highlighting now also happens in the cell in front of you every time you move around
- Loot : added a few bows, crossbows & daggers laying around to give a chance at respeccing between the Assassin & the Ranger during the adventure

Changes :
- Boss : final boss fight slightly tuned
- Loot : when a mob drops a key and some other gear at the same time, the key will have now more chance to be on the top
- Ability : Playing Possum now makes the attackers change instantly of target so their current attack won't land on the Ranger

Bug Fixes :
- Dungeon : it was possible to get the Thorough achievement using an exploit

[manutoo]

SubBuild 2015.11.15 :

New Features :
- Loot: Added the Legendary boots, so it'll be possible to get the linked achievement (and yes, Ted could totally pull them off )
- Party : Toons' portrait is now highlighted in Yellow before Orange, to show the aggro level earlier (respective levels are 80% & 90%)

Changes :
- Rendering : changed Camera's near clip plane with high FOV (ie: higher than 80°) so the draining spell Fx won't be clipped on the screen anymore
- Talents : Elementalist's Ignition DoT damage increased to 60% of initial damage from 45%
- Boss : Witch Curse Damage raised by 10%

Bug Fixes :
- AI : when you were fleeing with a mob group behind you till the mob group gave up and went back to roam mode, if the group was out of its roam zone then it wasn't moving anymore but just turning around like an idiot ; now the group will go back to roaming more or less normally, trying to get back to its roam zone
- Linux : Text Input should now be working for some Linux users (at the price of a dark rectangle in the big name button when creating a new character)
- Dialog : pausing the game exactly when a dialog was starting (eg: when a boss died) was freezing the game with no chance to resume it
- Boss : Level boss room's door was closing when approaching it even after the boss was dead
- Difficulty : the main difficulty level could be wrongly applied and thus leading to a higher difficulty than the one shown (the Difficulty value & HP & Damage sliders were giving the correct level, though)
- Talent : Assassin's Now or Never talent wasn't granting the Streak points right away, which means using it during a Pause followed by Killing Spree wasn't working correctly
- Map Editor : the tool-tip was disappearing after have saved the dungeon or a level

[manutoo]

Build 37, November 18th:

New Features :
- GUI : added Threat in the Dps Graph
- GUI : can choose to always have the tooltip next to the mouse cursor, in Interface Options (except for items, because of the comparison tooltips)
- GUI : added owner name to the tooltip of the DOTs affecting the enemies
- GUI : when hovering on a Toon portrait & ability bar, his DOTs on the targeted enemy & HOT on the Toons blink
- GUI : Long Cooldown Abilities (ie: more than 60 seconds) are briefly highlighted when their CD has finished to recharge
- GUI : added the possibility to scale all the game font sizes (except menus) within the .ini (HowTo => http://steamcommunity.com/app/409450/di ... 925569961/ )
- Gameplay : added Auto-Pause for Out of Mana for Healer, Out of Mana for Damage Dealers, Toon Knocked out, Long Cooldown Ability (ie: more than 60 seconds) recharged, Enemy Group attacking
- Gameplay : all different kinds of Auto-Pause can be separately turned on/off
- Localization : Polish localization done by Kamil Tajs
- Auto-Pause : added an option to auto-pause every time an enemy starts to attack a Toon which is not the tank (nor have a tank specialization)

Changes :
- Ability : Over My Dead Body can't miss the target anymore

- Auto-pause : auto-pause won't trigger anymore on Game Over
- GUI : Tooltip font size now scales up with Bottom or Center GUI Scale, whichever is bigger
- GUI : now the menu button's font scales with the display resolution, so if you play in Ultra-HD the font size won't be ridiculously small anymore ; the font will be also smaller in lower resolutions (eg: 1024x768)

Bug Fixes :
- Render : fixed a clipping issue when looking down in a hole and turning at the same time
- Dungeon : can't click anymore a lever under a bridge when standing on the bridge

[manutoo]

SubBuild 2015.11.20 :

New Features :
- GUI : current Global CD is now displayed in the Haste tooltip
- GUI : added an option to hide the Global Icon Bar (Attack, Potions, etc...)
- GUI : added the "Decimal Cooldown" option to display with numbers the remaining CD of each ability, directly in the ability bar (so no need to check each ability tooltip anymore)
- Map Editor : added Undo/Redo for each trigger target

Changes :
- Party : Haste was too strong ; it was especially noticeable for the Global Cooldown ; the Base GCD is 6 seconds, and now it goes down to 5s if you get 20% haste, instead of 4.8s before
- Enchantment : Haste enchantments slightly buffed, so having only a few Haste enchantments will give about the same speed increase than before, and the speed bonus will be noticeably reduced only for high total value of Haste (ie: above 20%)
- Talent : Druid's Eternal Bloom can't be critical anymore
- Talent : Man At Arms' Titan Fist now also applies to 1H weapons (ie: you can equip a Main Hand weapon in your off-hand)

Bug Fixes :
- Talent : fixed a small crash that could happen when a Toon was leveling up while he was unconscious and the dead mob bringing the XP was killed by the Necromancer's Soul Sucking while having the talent Soul Feast (that's what I call an extreme case ! :-p )
- AI : if a sleeping/hiding mob group was losing aggro, it was trying to go back to sleep/hide mode even if it couldn't do that, and then it was doing silly things
- Animation : walking animation of the 2nd boss was corrupted (you can see it only if he kills you )
- Loading : current running buffs/debuffs weren't applied when loading a saved game
- Loading : load a saved game in which a sound was running on a dead enemy, and then saving again before many new sounds have played was corrupting the newly saved game
- Boss : Boss 13 didn't open the door you came from when dying, and he was actually opening both doors of his room at start of the fight ! This behavior will be fixed in new games and if you still didn't reach the Level 13
- Talent : Arcanist's Mind Focus description was giving a wrong length for the effect on the Arcanist

[manutoo]

- Mobs : Barbarians got some Armor defense

- Talent : Necromancer's Open Buffet was also raising the damage of Eat My Flesh
- Combat : both your toons & mobs couldn't attack in melee while standing under a bridge
- Controls : cleared alternate Key wasn't saved in the settings, so on next game launch, the Alt Key was assigned again
- Ability : queuing abilities then attacking a new target was removing from the queue the abilities directed to the previous target
- Ability : Paladin's Crusader Assault range was too small
- AI : if a group of 2 mobs wanted to merge with a group of 3 mobs (or something like that), the game was crashing
- AI : fleeing mobs could be spinning endlessly if they couldn't get away from your party while still being a couple of cells away

- Map Editor : XP Scale per level, which will allow you to create smaller or bigger levels, with more or less enemies, while still leveling at the rate of 1 toon level per 1 dungeon level
- Map Editor : option to test only the current edited level, to avoid the long loading time needed for big dungeons
- Enchantments : added a couple of Willpower enchantments for the tanks, which is really useful only if the tank is wearing a shield

Changes :
- Environment : Secret Door Indicator in Mossy Wall Set changed ; now it's a missing stone corner, like other environments (instead of a broken stone corner looking too much like a button)
- Animation : now Mobs do a run animation when repositioning in their cell after a mob have been killed
