Gangs of Tarantia Launches

GUILD CITY-LIFE REVAMP

Locals and tourists alike have flocked to guild cities, settling, traveling, selling, and generally making a life for themselves. As your city grows, its population becomes more dense and varied. In particular, the following buildings provide special benefits to guild members:

Your Keep now not only provides a siege supply merchant at Tier I, but a Wagoner to Old Tarantia at Tier II. At Tier III, as before, your guild is permitted to participate in massive PvP battles.
The Temple (Tier I) provides a spiritual leader who can teach the Path of Comrades, an ability that allows you to return to your guild city in the same way that the Path of Asura returns to you to your bound location.
The Barracks now supports not only the straw men and patrols of guards but also scattered watchmen throughout the city. These guards increase in level according to the tier of the Barracks (I = level 40, II = level 60, III = level 80) and will defend their guildmates against attacks. At Tier III, the Barracks also supports a Guard Captain, who will transport visitors to the Border Kingdom of their choice for a nominal fee.
City Gates will now be guarded by four sentries at all times. These sentries level up and behave in the same way as Barracks-spawned guards.
The Armorsmith, Weaponsmith, Architect's Workshop, Alchemist's Workshop, and Thieves' Guild, as before, continue to support a merchant to sell profession-based crafting materials. This merchant is unaffected by building upgrades. The Armorsmith and Weaponsmith also attract guards that level up and behave in the same way as Barracks-spawned guards.
The Tradepost now not only provides a Trader, but offers the following additional features:
Tier I: A food and drink merchant, as well as business-savvy *****s.
Tier II: A Potions vendor, one of the new Provisioner vendors who sell crates with bulk consumables, a Tradeskill supplier, and a new local merchant who has a new social pet for sale from the region.
Tier III: The local merchant expands his or her wares to include two more pets, a wagoner to Conarch Village and a wagoner to Khemi.
Player City bonuses have also been updated and shuffled around a bit between the buildings.


GUILDS
The guild search view will now also show guilds which are currently not recruiting.
Added confirm message box to the Guild GUI when renaming the Guild.
When a player applies for a guild, he will receive a message in chat if no one who could invite is online.
Fixed Message of the Day chat tag [Guild MotD].
Deleted players will now be removed from their guilds.

ITEMS
All items have been adjusted for the new systems!
All classes now have access to the cloth/silk armor type.
Nectargold will now restore mana and increase max mana pool instead of stamina.
Class requirements have been removed from raid tier weapons.
Level 60-70 bolts should now properly replace the currently equipped bolts when right clicking the items.
1H-Weapons should no longer flip the wrong way when being drawn or sheathed.
Amulet of Lycophos can now also be sold to a vendor.
Some quest items have new descriptions and inventory icons.

PVP

General
PVP Dropped resources are now put sorted into the loot bag based on power level and then level/tier.
PVP Dropped resources will automatically stack in the loot bag.
Warnings about teammates who are involved in criminal activities will now go to the criminal system channel.
Removed double XP when killing murderers.
After a player is killed 5 times, he will no longer give PvP XP to the killer.
Guards now respond differently to player combat. If you initiated PvP combat and run to the guards for help the guards will correctly attack the aggressor. Guards do not mind if you kill criminals in front of them. All guards have been provided with ranged weapons so they are more effective at defending innocent bystanders. Guards will now mark anyone as a criminal that they engage in combat.
You will now get a buff telling you that you are an aggressor when attacking another player.
Guards have increased damage and massively increased hit points.
AoE spells should now only affect targets which give murderpoints if your current target will also give murderpoints. This applies even if your current target is not within range of the AoE spell. This means targeting a low level player in front of you and casting a ground targeted AoE spell far away will cause low level players far away to be hit because your current target, though unaffected by the spell, would give murderpoints if you were to hit him.
You can now no longer attack raid members in the border kingdoms.
Guard placement in all outdoor adventure playfields has been reviewed and adjusted where needed.
When killed in PvP you now get a second resurrection point to select from, but only if you have more than one resurrection pad in the playfield explored.
The PvP-shield Skirmisher's Sanctum now provides PvP armor and PvP protection
PvP Minigames
Totem Torrent: Increased the health of the totems.
Capture the Skull: It is no longer possible to actively return your skull to your base. Instead, you must defend the skull for 30 seconds before it automatically returns. As before, to capture an enemy skull you must bring it back to your base when your own skull has not been captured.
Minigames will now give a PvP XP reward at the end of the game. This reward varies between the winning and the losing side, and scales per minigame tier.
Capture the Skull matches should now end correctly instead of ending with 3 seconds left in the round.
Massive PVP
Discovering and forgetting resurrection points during a siege should now be more reliable.
It's no longer possible for an attacking guild to login inside an enemy battlekeep.

Players in a massive PvP battle will now see the correct points in the chat log.
Some holes have been closed in the Burnheim battlekeep.
The area around the keep in Fort Bane has been adjusted to improve balance during a siege.
Attackers are no longer able to keep or get siege weapons while in the defenders raid.
All versions of the keep building should now have proper collision.
The defenders have constructed additional hidden tunnels in each battlekeep that allow them to get out of their inner courtyard.
An issue with stacking bonuses related to battlekeeps should be resolved.
Border Kingdoms, Cimmerian End: The output of the PvP resources nodes has been reduced.

Herald/Tempest/Demonologist/Necromancer/Bear Shaman - The long duration spells Arcane Abatement, Damnation of Set, Glorification of Set, Rune of Resistance, Rune of Resilience, Mystic Suppression and Quell the Ether have been changed. These are now instant-cast short duration tactical spells, rather than long duration buffs.

Cunning Deflection can now only cause damage once per use.
Improved Goad Mob now works correctly.

With the removal of the Grizzled Hide buff, the Improved Grizzled Hide feat has been replaced with the Scarred Hide feat. This feat gives: When hit with a physical critical attack, you have a 33/66/100% chance to gain a 20% bonus to your armor for 10 seconds. This effect cannot occur more than once every 15 seconds.
Manifestation: Hostile Territory spell has been converted into one rank gained at level 65. This spell now applies the light physical invulnerability.

Increased the damage bonus gained from the reactive proc on Spirit Totem: Feral. Removed the Invulnerability increase from the reactive proc.
Spirit of the Bear now gives a team HP buff. The power of this buff is the same as that from the other priests. This buff does not affect the bear shaman. The Improved Spirits of the Bear feat does not increase the power of the team buff, it still only affects the bear shaman.
Crush Armor: now inflicts a stacking armor debuff on the target.(-900 armor pr stack, max stack size is 5).
Spirit totem: Venom has been replaced by Spirit Totem: Miasma. This spell passively increases Natural Stamina Regeneration instead of Poison Invulnerability. Places a DoT on enemies around the target. This DoT stacks up to 3 times. At the 3rd stack, it also drains stamina. This can only happen once every two seconds.

Fixed a bug where the heal from the Bloodthirst combo was not increasing in power with more feats.

The amount of stamina and mana gained from Improved Defiance has been increased. The implementation of Defiance and Improved Defiance has been changed, so it is now possible to see the base amount of health/stamina/mana gained when inspecting the ability, and to see the upgrade % when inspecting the feats.
Every rank of Feint Attack will now give -10% Slashing, Crushing, Piercing, and Poison Invulnerability.
Guardsman Feint - Changed to increase the Conquerors armor by 2/4/6/8/10%.
The Reaping Blade feat has been changed. It no longer grants a separate ability, but rather extends the duration of the Rend Flesh ability by 5 seconds. It is dependent on the Improved Rend feat. With Berserk Inspiration being added making it more possible to utilize Bladeweave, we felt that Reaping Blade had became significantly less useful.
Conquest. This has been replaced with the Ability Berserk Inspiration. Allows the player to stack Furious Inspiration via normal weapon attacks, but they cannot proc the team Resurrection effect when at 10 stacks. Canceling Berserk Inspiration removes all Furious Inspiration stacks. Feat points increase the proc rate.

Mystic Suppression. This spell is now instant cast with a 6 second duration and 45 second cooldown which increases your unholy protection. This is now a spell that is meant to be used tactically in combat instead of a longtime buff.
Demonic Wrack. This feat has been replaced by Shock Lance. This replaces the old Demonic Wrack feat (which was a stacking invulnerability debuff that is no longer a good 5 point end feat with the new generic invulnerability debuff system).
Shock and Shockstrike now build up Empowered Shock Lance on the caster. This increases the critical chance and lowers the casting time per stack.
Shock Lance consumes 2 Empowered Shock Lance stacks.
Casting Shock Lance will increase the mana cost of the next Shock Lance. This is a mechanic so you can choose to get extra damage from Shock Lance and end up being incredibly mana inefficient, or get consistent mana-efficient nuking. Shock Lance is a column spell, and will hit all enemies between the caster and the target (although only a 1m radius).
Soul Resonance no longer feeds your pet mana. When you cast Shock, that target will explode 2 seconds later, inflicting electrical damage on nearby enemies.

Abaddoron Warrior will now show in the GUI the number of times the buff has been applied.

The Succubi should no longer look like they are chewing gum while in their idle animation.
Swift Shockstrikes has been removed and replaced with Spell - Circle of Magic. This feat still gives the +1% damage per rank to Shockstrike. In addition, it enables the Circle of Magic spell. This creates a temporary magic zone that grants 2/4/6/8/10% magical mana tap to all allies that stand within it.
When the spells were rebalanced, Waves of Flame was incorrectly given a coefficient that was too high. This has been corrected, and it now has a slightly lower coefficient.
Pact of Dread now increases the critical damage bonus of Shock and Shock Lance. You will now correctly gain the Pact of Dread effect when your pet performs a critical hit. You cannot gain the Pact of Dread effect if you are running the spellweaving Hand of Doom buff.
Fixed multiple issues with the Demonic Warlord pet not correctly getting the bonus for all ranks of pet-augmenting feats. Fixed an issue where the Demon Familiar pet was not getting the bonus from rank 1 of Fury of the Underworld.

Reduced the radius of the Black Ashes effect to match the radius of Inferno of Amher.

Reduced the bonus damage granted to your pet with Pact of Earth Walking to 100% (down from 166%)

The internal cooldown of Redoubt has been lowered by 10 seconds.
The stamina burn effect of the Disable combo can now crit. The Brutal Maiming feat now increases the chance of this stamina burn effect to critically hit. The critical hit check for the stamina burn is a separate roll from the combo critical hit check, so it can crit independently.
The scaling of Bloody Vengeance has been lowered, as it was doing far too much damage too quickly with a high Vengeance counter. Each stack of Vengeance now increases the power of Bloody Vengeance by 4% per feat point invested (so 20% per Vengeance counter with all 5 points in Bloody Vengeance).
Relentless Assault now reduces the cooldown of Skewer and Disable by 10 seconds and Guard and Storm Strike by 5 seconds (up from 3 seconds on Disable, 6 seconds on Skewer, 2 seconds on Guard, and no improvement for Storm Strike).

At level 10 you will now gain a new ability - Reckoning. You will be able to use this immediately after using a Flashing Arc, Disable or Storm Strike combo to inflict damage on the target, or around you in the case of using it after Storm Strike. If used after Disable, you will regain some stamina. It is intentional that this only works with pole arm combos. All existing guardians will get this ability when they next log in. It inflicts more damage when you are in frenzy stance.

Guard Destroyer cooldown increased to 45 seconds.

Herald of Xotli
The pulsing area fire damage from Avatar of Xotli has been corrected to gain the same benefit from bonus magic damage as the Desecrating Essence pulsing area damage (it was too high).

The increase in damage of the pulsing Hellstep damage when you are polymorphed has been decreased to 100% (own from 400%)

Bonds of Anguish has been removed and replaced with Chains of Anguish. This is a short duration, fast casting damage over time spell. When the damage triggers, that target and any others between the target and the herald will take damage. There is a synergy between Chains of Anguish and Clarity of the Mad, in that while Chains of Anguish is running, you will gain a 33/66/100% resistance to fear effects based on the number of feats in Clarity of the Mad.
Flame Lash has been changed from a combo into a spell. When you train the Flame Lash feat, you will now receive a spell. This spell has a long range, hitting a single target.

GEM REVAMP

This update introduces a total overhaul of the gem system with a new, more flexible system for augmenting your equipment with gems.

Gem Families and Colors
The number of Gem Colors has been reduced from 8 to 6. Every gem has been given a Gem Family. There are 6 Gem Families, with one gem of a different color assigned to each tier. Every gem within a tier has a unique color and unique family at that tier. Additionally, we have removed the concept of Flawless uncut gems. All uncut gems introduced with the Gem Revamp will be of the same quality level, and will remain world-drops.

Socket Colors
Every gem socket has now a color, which matches one of the 6 gem colors. A gem of color X may only be added to a socket of color X. The color of a socket and gem is clearly indicated in the tool-tip.

Alchemical Transformation
Transformation Recipes are introduced with the Gem Revamp. These enable alchemists to transform uncut gems across colors and tiers. For example, a higher level uncut gem may be transformed to multiple lower level uncut gems within its Gem Family.

Pre-Patch Uncut and Flawless Gems
An uncut gem of tier X will remain an uncut gem of tier X. The color will be different if that color was removed. The name will also likely change to accommodate its new gem family. Flawless uncut gems will be converted at a favorable ratio, so one pre-revamp Flawless gem will yield more than one post-revamp uncut gem of the appropriate tier and color. We decided on a ratio of 1 flawless gem yielding 3 uncut gems.

Cut Gems
The following concepts have been removed from cut gems: stacking lines, gem size, and the random element. The number of cut gems has been reduced from around 1380 to 71. Additionally, cut gems will now stack. Players will be compensated for leftover cut gems from before the revamp, as they would obviously not be able to socket these gems given all the changes to the system. These gems will be converted over to their uncut versions, with power-tier blue cut gems converted in the same 1-to-3 ratio as the flawless uncut gems.

Changes with Existing Gear
Existing socketed gems should be left mostly as they are. This should be true even if the gem would otherwise be invalid given the socket color (as all existing gear will be given colored sockets).
