v0.2.10 — Mage: The Sixth Class

A sixth class arrives, and it does not play like the other five. The Mage trades armour and an off-hand for reach — meteors, a nova that swallows a camp, a lance that pins what it hits. Alongside it, combat itself got heavier: hits stop for a moment when they land, swings throw an arc of light coloured by the gems in your weapon, and monsters fall over instead of blinking out of existence.

The Mage

Greatstaff, two hands, seven skills, and nowhere to hide.

🔥

The Kit

Meteor Fall. Meteors come down where you aim, and each one bursts on the ground it lands on
Flame Nova. A 13.5 metre eruption centred on your target — and it sets what it touches burning
Frost Lance. A 300% freeze that drives through its target and stays lodged in it
Void Singularity, Arcane Bolt, Chronoshift and Avatar of Flame round out the tree

🪔

The Gear

A greatstaff line of its own, from the Worn Greatstaff up through Apprentice, Arcane and Genesis to the Worldsunder
Its own talent tree, with Arcanum built as the tempo lane — crit rate and cast speed rather than raw numbers
Two hands, no off-hand. The slot you give up is folded back into the staff

Every Hit Lands

The same swing, and it feels like something now.

⚔

Impact

Hits hold for a moment. Both you and what you struck stop on contact — longer on a critical — and the camera kicks with it
What you hit flashes, and sparks scatter off the blow
Screen shake stays yours. All of this respects the slider in Options, including turning it all the way off

✨

The Slash

Swings throw a crescent of light along the arc of the strike, and no two are quite the same
Your gems colour it. White to start, then green at four, blue at five, purple at six, red at seven — and other players see your colour, not theirs

💀

Falling

Things fall over when they die. Four different collapses, picked at random, instead of freezing in place and vanishing
That includes you, and everyone you can see

Reach

You connect from where it looks like you should.

🗡

Melee

Melee reach is 4 units, up from 2. The gap between where a swing looked like it landed and where it actually did is gone
Daggers stay shorter at 3 — close work is the trade for their speed
Skills centred on you grew with it: Whirlwind Slash 4 to 6, Ragebreaker 6 to 8, Sacred Nova 13.5 to 15.5

🌙

The Corrupted Zones

Twice as busy. 132 corrupted monsters across the four zones, with all six corrupted classes now in every one
They come back faster — 20 seconds instead of 30

Starting Out

A week on the house.

🗽

A Free Crest

New accounts get a 7-day Patron’s Crest, free. The whole pass, from your first login — nothing to claim and nothing to cancel
It is per account, so every character you roll is covered by it

Fixed

Two of these were quietly costing people gear.

💰

Gear And The Marketplace

Legendary gear that could not be listed can be listed again. A handful of pieces had their identity saved wrongly, and every attempt to sell them failed outright. The pieces are repaired and the cause is closed
Warrior’s Void-Husk sells at its proper price — it was capped at 10 Lumina while the listing screen offered up to 20
The Genesis Axe is visible. It was being drawn far too small to see

🛡

Saves And Collections

A character’s save can no longer be written into another character’s slot on a hosted map
Collections that only ask you to own the gear now accept it, and the Register button does what it says

🛠

In The Fight

Combat Power no longer climbs from a temporary buff — a crit-damage potion was inflating the number
On maps with more than one arena, boss effects now play on the boss that cast them
Enemy afflictions sit below the health bar, so hovering one tells you what it is
The enchant panel no longer warns you about a stone you are already holding

See you out there

Pick up a staff. Set something on fire.
