June 15, How Massive is Massive?

Posted June 15th, 2010 by Skotlex

I have big updates on the way, but I thought I'd update the server with the work realized on it so far.

General

  • Updated the bdata.grf file. This time around the skills for Hunters and Knights have been updated.
  • Added the Kafras to enable warping to three new cities: Manuk, Splendide, and Brasilia (the last one is still completely unfinished by eA, though)
  • Updated the monster database. The "another world" monsters got their stats and skills corrected, while many new monsters have been added, too.
  • Raised the ATK of the Spirited Guitar from 10 to 50.

PvP, WoE, Guild Dungeons

  • WoE duration is now extended by 5 minutes each time a Guardian is defeated.
  • Updated the WoE "balancing" code. The balancing code slightly influences damage dealt and received during WoE when the battle isn't "balanced" (ie: more attackers or defenders than the other side, some people are drastically lower levels than the others). Basically, the weight for each side is the sum of the player's base level (real base level, not the temporal 150 of WoE) plus 100 per player (eg: Two players, Levels 100 and 50 will net a total weight of 350). Damage is scaled based on the weight difference between sides.
  • Added a pvp/gvg death bonus. Defeating a player will grant you a temporary 3 minute boost based on the class you defeat (eg, Swordman base grants you endure, Mage base grants you energy coat).
  • You can't turn on @killable on versus maps anymore (to avoid people trying to abuse the just added bonus)
  • The WoE crafter now works using a single queue.
  • Now the mithril and "spirit of " materials needed by the forger are randomly dropped in guild dungeons (in the same way that random items drop), they are no longer dropped by specific monsters.

Skills

  • Reverted Ashura Strike to perform 5 hits even in versus grounds.
  • Parrying is now usable by two-handed spears.
  • The dance Humming now provides perfect hit equal to Whistle's perfect-dodge bonus.

Bug Fixes

  • Fixed super babies not getting the ASPD bonus which was added recently to Super Novices.
  • Added the proper food for Leaf Cats at the pet food shop.
  • Fixed the lotto-box giving certain items whose sprite isn't available on the client.
