Quality of Life and Interface
- The message pane will update automatically. So will your vitals (AP, HP, MP, DP).
Next thing you know, Nexus Clash is an AAA game with 8K photo-realistic ray-traced graphics. - You can now see the faction politics stance of another character on the same tile when you hover over their name. The coloring hasn't changed, this is just in addition to that. (Thanks SignedName)
- Three new player avatars have been added.
- The Lightspeakers tending the Garden of Elysium are now informed when their stats are updated in recognition of their efforts.
- The Lightspeaker share of the Garden of Elysium stats were increased from 10% to one-third of the total. Stats are still distributed based on how much effort any given LS has put into it.
- For April Fools, we are testing some exciting new Quality of Life and Interface options!
- New Eternal Soldier skill: Way of the One Punch. Adds a flat +3 damage and +5% to-hit for hand-to-hand attacks. Further, every step into a Combination Attack with hand-to-hand attacks, you have more and more of a chance to let out a big punching attack for +20 damage. If you happen to kill someone with it, the corpse is launched to the outside (if the kill happened inside) or to an adjacent tile (if outside). It is a child skill of Master of the Lashing Kick and costs 90 CP.
- Champions of the Elder Powers: 9 new themed minibosses may now be found throughout the outer planes. They arrive each day on the daily tick and have individualized loot drops consisting of unique cosmetics and rare magic weapons once thought lost to the Nexus.
- Raise Vassal and healing others directly now break invisibility and hiding. (Thanks tremor3258)
- Two new stat and badge categories have been added - Buffs Granted and Debuffs Inflicted. Casting area-based buffs and debuffs will be considered a single point of stat gain per casting. Buffs and debuffs applied by Garden of Elysium pets will add these stats to the reward pool for Garden of Elysium donors.
- Addition of a new Faction upgrade, the Walk-in Closet. For 20 Renown per day, this upgrade allows faction members to search the stronghold for specific clothes as if the stronghold was a Mall.
- Killing characters with Pets now correctly removes Hunted By status as a Revenant with Shadow of the Dust.
- Resolved an issue where some Dark Oppressors lost Dark Power at a more rapid daily rate than they're supposed to (or lost Dark Power in circumstances where they should have lost none). This was deployed in advance of the patch.
- Prayer's Blessing of the Animals Offense result for Lightspeakers (pet rejuvenation) did not work and now does.
- Kills of crabs by Pets now correctly removes the Pincered status.
- Attacking crabs is now a morally true neutral act that never changes your Morality. This was deployed in advance of the patch.
- Macro Syndermata kills now stop being listed once a Carousel Station instance ends, instead of lingering until the start of the next Carousel Station instance.
