May 16 2022 Changelog
Contents
End of April Events
- The Easter Event has ended and thus all the bunny spawns have finally been removed from the server.
- The limited free resets for Blacksmith and Gunslinger have been removed
Allegiance Changes
We are changing the allegiance bonus such that now a lot of the bonuses for being the winning allegiance have been modified to look at your personal number of light/dark points respectively. No players should be punished for something beyond their control, which is how the allegiance did as a team.
- Healer discount now takes place at 80 allegiance points
- Reset discount now takes place at 80 allegiance points
- Warper discount now takes place at 100 allegiance points
- Muspelheim discount now takes place at 120 allegiance points
- Malangdo costumes are no longer affected by allegiance points
Spawn Delay Changes
Some non-boss monsters have needlessly high spawn delay that are not in agreement with heRO philosophy to how we choose to customize the game. Here are the new rules to how heRO decides if a monster spawn should be made near-instantaneous. As always, heRO may revert some of these changes if GMs deem that some of these changes have unintended consequences after awhile.
- Monster is not a miniboss
- Monster does not affect Niflheim town (since that is controlled by Lord of Death invasion spawn mechanic)
- Only spawns that are completely randomized on the map with no fixed spawn points will be changed
- There must be more than 5 of it on a map without counting the fixed spawns
- Monster does not have plant level defense
With that in mind, the following monsters now spawn near-instantaneously:
- Agav
- Ancient Worm (Aldebaran Guild Dungeon)
- Anolian (Glastheim Culvert)
- Archer Skeleton (payon dungeon)
