New Client & Other Major Changes

[GM-Ciar]

• Game Mechanic Changes
  
  Unfair Trick
  
• New effect: reduces the cost of Mammonite and Throw Zeny by 10% per level
  
• New effect: reduces the cost of Cart Termination and Maximum Overthrust by 10% per level beyond the first level of this skill
  
• Unfair Trick cannot lower these skills beyond a cost of 1 zeny, regardless of level
  
  Increase Agility
  
• The skill no longer has a cast requirement of 15 HP
  
  Ankle Snare
  
• Ankle Snare has been restored back to official minimum duration of 3 seconds, up from heRO's customized nerf of 1 second. Keep in mind that most if not all MVPs have their behavior set to teleport when hit by this skill.
  
  Running (Taekwon)
  
• New effect: on a BG map, Run immediately grants the strength bonus instead of initiating the Run movement
  
  Kaina
  
• New effect: Kaina cannot lower sp cost of skills to be lower than 1, regardless of the level of Kaina learnt. This is a safety measure and is not noticeable by normal means.
  
  Steal
  
• It is now possible to steal items in a monster's item slot 8, 9 and 10, which is utilized in heRO but not by official monsters.
  
• Previously, heRO followed official behavior where you cannot steal a card. You can steal cards again.
  
  Spear Stab
  
• Fixed the bug where Spear Stab's damage scales by 15% instead of 20% per level
  
  3rd class skills
  
• All 3rd class skills (which are only used by monsters, and are currently not available to players, even via custom items or cards) deal 50% damage per level, with all extra variables for damage calculation removed. Exceptions to this are listed below.
  
• Duple Light: both its physical and magic portion now scale by 10% per level, starting at 100%
  
• Jack Frost: if target is affected by Frosty Misty, then damage is doubled
  
• Comet: The 4 damage zone changes by 200/150/100/50% (200 being ground zero) per skill level damage instead of the original scaling
  
• Chain Lightning: Base matk follows "standard" heRO formula of 50% per level
  
• Chain Lightning Chain bonus damage is adjusted to [50 × (Max Chain count ? Chains)]% (which is halved from the original formula)
  
• If the chaining target of Chain Lightning is above 9, the chain bonus damage is capped as if the chain is at 9
  
• Earth Grave: all extra variables for damage calculation, except for Cursed Soil effect, are removed
  
• Diamond Dust: all extra variables for damage calculation, except for Cooler effect, are removed
  
• Poison Buster: all extra variables for damage calculation, except for Cursed Soil effect, are removed
  
• Psychic Wave: all extra variables for damage calculation, except for Cursed Soil/Heater/Cooler/Blast Mine effect, are removed
  
• Varetyr Spear: all extra variables for damage calculation, except for Blast Mine effect, are removed
  
• Cloud Kill: all extra variables for damage calculation, except for Cursed Soil effect, are removed
  
• Eraser Cutter: all extra variables for damage calculation are removed
  
• Sonic Wave: base damage follows heRO 3rd class standard, but range formula is kept in tact
  
• Ignition Break: scaling based on damage zone is now 150/100/50, no longer affected by base level. Elemental fire bonus is kept
  
• Storm Blast: still scales depending on int, but the constant factor is now 50 instead of 100 (effectively half damage compare to official formula)
  
• Phantom Thrust: no longer has level based scaling
  
• Arms Cannon: 75% per level for medium, 100% per level for small, 50% per level for large. Skill also no longer has base level scaling
  
• Axe Tornado: wind damage bonus and distance penalty is kept
  
• Earth Shaker: damage against invisible or hiding enemies are doubled
  
• Tiger Cannon: no change to the formula except that it has no base level scaling
  
• Knuckle Arrow: kept all interactions, except that it's 50% per level on both portion of base damage and collision damage
  
• Ride In Lightning: wind weapon will double damage
  
• Cross Strike: additional damage is kept
  
  Status Effect Changes
  
• Burning Status now has a minimum duration of 3 seconds instead of 10 seconds.
  
• Deep Sleep, Stasis, Marsh of Abyss statuses now have a minimum duration of 3 seconds instead of 5 seconds.
  
• Frosty Misty status now has a minimum duration of 3 seconds instead of 6 seconds.
  
  Recovery Rates
  Any item that gives a specified regeneration effect will activate once every 5 seconds instead of whatever rate they were at. All current items have been scaled such that over 10 seconds, they heal (or deal damage) by the same amount as they do now.
  
  Items that can grant fixed recovery rates now stack with each other, instead of only the item last to be equipped taking effect.
