• Cinderella in the Biodome has a limited number of Botanical shotguns with Spreadfire on them, but you'll have to give her the spores she needs first!
• 6 new cores are available:

April 19, 2013

NEW CHANGES/FEATURES:

• New Arborgeddon promo package available! Package includes:
  • Botanical Battle Suit: Classless armor with new Armored Roots core. This core is cast on yourself and will root you to the ground, boosting your defenses and preventing you from doing melee attacks.

• The Epic Egg Hunt has ended! If you have leftover eggs, you can drop them off at any merchant.

BALANCE CHANGES:

Blocks
This change is meant to make blocks less frustrating and devastating when they occur.

• Blocks now prevent 85% of damage instead of 100%
• Blocked attacks still cannot stun or crit

Poison Effects
This change is meant to make poisons more interesting by allowing the poisoned player to cleanse the effect, and make applying the poison more tactical by applying it during Field Medic’s cooldown, or try to bait out an early heal from a player.

• Poison effects can now be removed with Field Medic

Toxic Grenade
This change brings Toxic Grenade's damage closer to that of Venom Strike, and helps compensate for the fact that poisons can now be cleansed.

• Poison damage increased to 4-13 damage per turn, from 3-12 damage per turn
• Now strikes for 70% primary weapon damage, up from a flat 5 damage.

Venom Strike
This change helps compensate for the fact that poisons can now be cleansed.

• Still strikes for 85% primary weapon damage

BUGS FIXED:

Tags: RabbleFroth Patch Notes

March 22, 2013

NEW CHANGES/FEATURES:

• Increased the maximum credits possible per battle from 210 to 300. This should prevent issues where you could get fewer base credits than expected while boosting during Power Hour.

BALANCE CHANGES:

• Infernal Android
  • This bot could unleash huge, repeatable damage with no downside. This change should make using the bot the more tactical "Can I afford to wait for its full damage" decision we originally intended.
  • Is now usable once per battle
  • Damage dealt changed from 80-140% to 85-130%. Still gains 5% damage per round.
  • Added a 3 turn warmup on the special to prevent accidental use before it deals full damage.
  • Special now goes into a 3 turn cooldown instead of 4 when the normal attack is used.
• Assimilation
  • This skill is intended to provide an on-demand energy boost; this change keeps the focus where it is intended.
  • Lowered damage on hit from 100% to 85%.

BUGS FIXED:

• Reduced the visual size of the Lagomorph auxiliaries.
• Reversed the position of the Sickle weapons to appear more natural.
• Krampus Blaster, Krampus Cannon, Legion Blaster, and Legion Cannon were incorrectly removed in the last update. They have been moved to the Krampus Trader.
• Resale price of Basic items was not visually upgrading in certain cases.
• Inserting/replacing cores would not visually update the resale price of the item in some cases
• Resatting items could sometimes cause the resale price to visually increase.
• Fixed several animation flickers at the start of turns.
• Botanical Battlegear was incorrectly labeled as Rare instead of Seasonal Rare.
• Venom Strike initial damage was incorrectly scaling per round.
• Price of Bio Trooper armor changed to correctly match the Bio Mage and Bio Hunter armors.
• Certain prize items incorrectly had no resale value. This applies retroactively to existing prize items, including the Bounty Pistol and Banx0rz Blade.

March 15, 2013

NEW CHANGES/FEATURES:

• New Botanical Battlegear promo now available! Includes energy and physical mutating weapon sets with the Growth Serum active core. Growth Serum grows your character and increases your base Support by 30%
• Reduced initial file load by around 25%
• Added a percentage loaded indicator when starting the game
• Maximum inventory slots increased to 200 items
• Frysteland weapons removed from store
• All Winter home items removed from store
• New performance setting: "Play Idle Animations in Battle"

BALANCE CHANGES:
GENERAL

• Critical Strikes
  • Defense ignore lowered from 50% to 45%
  • Minimum damage increase lowered from (7+Level/5) to (4+Level/7). At level 35 this was 14 damage, now 9 damage

SKILLS

• Deadly Aim
  • Lowered damage by 5% at all levels
  • At Level 35 this requires 10 points for maximum benefit; 1 point gives +2 damage instead of +4, 10 points gives +9 damage instead of +10
• Assimilation
  • Now usable while at maximum Energy
  • Before Update: Drained 1-10 Energy giving back 50% of amount drained. Slight level scaling, no stat scaling.
  • After Update: Drains 3-12 Energy, giving back 100% of the amount drained. No level scaling, steals 1 extra Energy per 9 Strength
  • This skill had many issues, to the point of being nearly useless in most cases. It should now provide Tech Mages with a more reliable on-demand energy gain.
• Bloodlust
  • Lowered lifesteal by 2% at all levels
  • We overshot slightly with the last buff, this will bring it more in line.
• Massacre
  • Lowered damage from 45-135% to 31-120% (Roughly 5 damage at level 35)
  • Despite previous minor nerfs this skill was giving far too much free damage, especially over Supercharge and Surgical Strike (Massacre was doing up to 22 more damage than these skills even with no stat investment).
• Venom Strike
  • Increased initial damage from 70% to 85%
  • This should make the skill more attractive while still keeping a lot of the damage on the poison.

CORES

• Omega Override
  • Increased debuff to 30% of base stat, from 20%
• Curse / Curse Aura
  • Increased debuff to 30% of base stat, from 25%

Tags: RabbleFroth Patch Notes

March 08, 2013

NEW CHANGES/FEATURES:

• New Frysteland missions! For those with the mysterious summoning stone, come see RabbleFroth in the Barrens to continue the story.
• The Golden Yeti Tournament has come to an end! The competition was fierce, a job well done to all of those that participated. The winners should have their Yeti and Achievement when the servers are live.
• RabbleFroth has a new question to ask you about how you play games.
• Various improvements to account registration and character creation.

BALANCE CHANGES:

• Tighter level matching for low level players

BUGS FIXED:

• Class changing and battling with your Basic Armor could cause the battle to hang in some cases
• Various other minor bugfixes

Tags: RabbleFroth Patch Notes

March 01, 2013

NEW CHANGES/FEATURES:

• New Cores
  • Nanosteel Armor
    Decreases the ignored defense of incoming Critical Strikes by 8%
  • Plasma Meteor
    Disintegrate an enemy with cosmic debris, increasing weapon damage by 110%
  • Dead Battery
    Due to some last minute issues that came up with this core it wasn't quite ready for today. We plan to have them resolved by next week's update.

• Your current item now remains selected when equipping and unequipping items

• New Concussive Shot animation

• Websites are now filtered in chat

BALANCE CHANGES:

GENERAL

• Primary, Gun, Auxiliary damage
  This change is designed to help with weapon damage on builds with very high amounts of a single stat. For more details see the final section of the Patch Notes labeled "Diminishing Returns."
  • The amount of stats you need per point of damage has increased. This will be most noticeable in builds with more than 85 points in Strength or Support.

• Base Energy
  We felt that characters were getting too much free energy, preventing the need to stat for it. This change is a first step for helping with this.
  • Base Energy increases by 1 every 5 levels, from 1 every 2 levels
  • This will decrease base Energy at level 35 by 10

SKILLS

• Bloodlust
  • Increased lifesteal by 4% at all levels

• Malfunction
  This change brings Malfunction in line with Smoke Screen. Malfunction was stronger to account for the old, faster scaling of Resistance.
  • Technology debuff lowered by 3 at all levels

• Fireball
  • Energy cost lowered by 2 at all levels

• Plasma Bolt
  This skill was doing a bit too much damage for the cost, and the lack of a requirement allowed Tech Mages to overperform at low levels.
  • Energy cost increased by 2 at all levels
  • Added Strength requirement (15 - 33 depending on level)

• Defense Matrix
  This skill was providing a bit too much defense on Support builds without needed to put many points into it
  
  • Gains an extra point of defense every 4.5 Support, up from 4

CORES
These cores were giving a bit more free power than intended. These changes are designed to bring them more in line.

• Azrael's Will
  • Lowered damage on use from 100% to 85%

• Azrael's Torment
  • Lowered damage on use from 100% to 85%

• Massive Strike
  • Lowered defense ignore from 15% to 10%

BUGS FIXED:

• Changed Mercenary Power Armor name to Metal Marine. Tech Mage Power Armor unchanged.
• Fixed discrepancies in skill details between level 0 and level 1
• Name changes were not being reflected in the Gold Yeti Leaderboard
• Stat required could incorrectly show up red in battle under certain circumstances

NOTE: Diminishing Returns

For those unaware, there is a system in place to make stats less effective as they pass certain thresholds (55 stats, and again at 85 stats). For example, in the last update, you needed 4.5 Strength to get 1 point of weapon damage. After reaching 55 Strength, you would then need 5.5 Strength to get each extra point of damage. Finally, after 85 Strength, you would need 6.5 Strength per point of damage.

So the “diminishing returns” of Primary and Gun damage was (4.5 → 5.5 → 6.5). In this patch, the diminishing returns for Primary, Gun, and Auxiliary damage was changed to (4.5 → 6 → 8). This means that builds with less than 85 points in a single stat will see at most a small change in damage, while those with more than 85 points in Strength / Support may see a more noticeable drop in their Primary / Gun / Aux damage.

• Smoke Screen requirement changed from 14-41 to 15-33
• Stun Grenade energy cost lowered by 3
• Hybrid Armor now requires Support instead of Dexterity
• First Strike overhaul:
  • Old formula overly confusing and scaled poorly
  • New formula = From a base of 50%, gain +1.5% chance to go first for each point of Support you have over your opponent, and +5% for each level under your opponent.
  • Example: Level 21 with 28 Supp VS Level 20 with 30 Supp. Level 20 player gains 5% for being one level lower, and 3% for having 2 more Support, for a 58% chance to go first.

BUGS FIXED:
