AdventureQuest Worlds: A Gross Raw Engine is Live

This is the moment you receive all been ready for! The Exoteric Test Region (commonly known as the PTR) has finally been discharged game-wide.

The magnitude of this Release might be big to outfit happening any online clause (which is remarkable on its possess, since I act up not mean any online article supplier has a word cap). But I will try my best at pushing these limits. Bunker down and prepare yourself… let's Begin with Stats!

Stat-us Report

For the past year and a half since the launch of AQWorlds, the world of Lore was a noob when it came to Stats. Merely with this mark sunrise Railway locomotive free, a fresh designed Stats organisation has been brought to animation, premeditated to help oneself make power train choices more fun. Our system focuses along the standard Stats recovered in most RPGS:

  • Strength: Increases Attack Powerfulness which boosts physical damage. It as wel improves critical strike chance for melee classes.
  • Intellect: Increases Magic Power which boosts magical damage. It likewise improves critical strike probability for castor classes.
  • Endurance: Directly contributes to your total Hit Points. While very useful for wholly classes, some abilities work best with very higher or very low total Hit Points.
  • Dexterity: Valuable to battle royal-based classes, information technology increases haste, stumble encounter, and evasion run a risk. Dexterity sole increases evasion casual for caster classes, however.
  • Wisdom: Valuable to castor classes, it increases impinge on chance, crit chance, and dodging chance. Sapience only increases evasion risk for melee classes.
  • Hazard: Increases the critical strike modifier for all classes directly and may have many personal effects out of doors of combat. IT is called Luck for a reason!

Secondary Stats give birth also been introduced that variegate depending along which standard Stats you hone in on. These admit: Attack Power, Magic Power, Nitpicking Strike Chance, Haste, Nonpayment Gamble, Critical Strike Value, and Hit Chance. Remember that you e'er hold some baseline Stats that interchange depending on what class you currently are… and there is much than 25 classes to choose from! Also, equippable items give you additional stats through their Enhancements, which can be viewed right about at present.

Enhancements

Ready for most items to exist equipped, they must first be Enhanced. Like the name suggests, Enhancements apply Stat values to items that "enhance" your character when you equip them. Enhancements can be purchased from various Shop Vendors throughout the game.

Your Class trainer even offers a "smart shop" that allows you to obtain Enhancements right for your level! With over 1700 Enhancements to choose from, you can experiment around and feel a physique that works best for you. Directly that's smart… shop!

A New User Interface

The Inventory and Shop panels consume been completely rebuilt-for the amended! This new layout is designed to lay down critical information more clearer and easier to find, allowing the new Sweetening process to be as wedge-shaped and informative every bit possible. This is also a comfortably-refined skill known technically as: making stuff larger!
The chat frame can now exist invisible or expanded to fill the screen vertically. The toggles for these states are accessible in the lower liberal tree of the interface, next to the schmoose entry Browning automatic rifle. You can now easily scroll through an expansive chat log with the scroll of your mouse button.

The Options panel has been redesigned and now allows you to obscure your cloak or helm likewise atomic number 3 toggle various features within game play. Thus even if you get into't overcome internet signaling around, you can still play astir-to-speed by simply disabling some jug-laden options.
The Character Overview panel is immediately available from either the main toolbar (that thing at the bottom right of your sort) or by hitting "c" on your keyboard. IT provides mana regeneration tips, stat recommendations, and ability descriptions for your current class along with your Attack Power, Spell Power, DPS and Attack Speed. Our game really kinda resembles a material MMORPG at once!

Leveling Up Combat Mechanics

Combat mechanics have been modified greatly in our newest release. One major highlight is mana regeneration! Every last classes now have a fixed mana pool of 100 MP. For each one primary action or ability costs a certain numeral of mana points, and whol classes have some agency of earning mana back patc in combat. You stern now fight for much longer than previously likely… meaning that you won't have to respawn atomic number 3 often! Unless you try to solo a lvl 30 Red Dragon.

Tired of targeting only one monster at a time? Your prayers have been answered in the form of AoE (Area of Core) attacks! Many classes exhibit at to the lowest degree one AoE ability, such as the ProtoSartorium's Arc Lightning that bounces between monsters and deals to a greater extent damage with each consecutive hit. Healers besides offer AoE heals, like Healing Bible, which heals friendly units around the main target for a predetermined amount.

Healing has been ready-made much easier with the gain of a Sanative Image. When in battle with a group, an icon will crop up over any player who has just taken over more than 10% of their HP in impairment OR who is below 50% health, if you are playing a remedial social class, that is (like a Paladin or a Healer). Clicking this icon volition automatically cure that player, devising Healers untold more group-friendly, which is pretty important since you are ganna need them at present!
Potions and char scrolls are our final addition. You may notice that your last action happening the natural action bar is a grayed-out slot that says you can equip consumable items to use them there. These items would include things like Wellness Potions or a primary Scroll, such as the Scroll of Forked lightning. You can equip them from your inventory and use them in combat as you see primed!

Player vs Player: Aimed for Fri?

Our newest engine release allows for PvP combat, although we are non releasing this content just yet. The functionality is there… simply the PvP areas are still MIA! We are hoping to vent this extremely-expected feature on Friday, where the PvP maps will be accessible through the PvP Queue (a new addition to the user interface), just nonentity is set in stone sporting yet-but at least we have a deadline in mind! New PvP award items bequeath be obtainable as well with the introduction of PvP Amulets, allowing the strongest (and most committed) players to unlock limited-sentence items, so much as the Werepyre Slayer Armor.
