79 - Made a change to automatically open the Gear tab when unequipping gear from the Gear Stats interface.

80 - Renamed LUK to CRIT. Removed any logic that factored LUK into random chance like crafting and enhancing. Now INT is the only value that affects those things. CRIT (the old LUK) is now soley tied to the random chance of dealing a critical hit on attack.

82 - Made a change to only show wings in the wings tab while in the shop.

96 - Completed further adjustments to the zoom in and zoom out height of the camera while swimming.

97 - Made a change for the requirement to switch from one stage to another. Previously going from one stage to another was based on Side Quest completion which was temporary and didn't make a lot of sense since they were side quests. Now XP Count is the determining factor. Each stage will have an XP requirement that needs to be attained before moving to the next stage.

98 - We have revamped the logic for Completed quests. It was fairly annoying to have to claim each completed quest in the completed quest list. Now quests are auto completed with a new UI that will show which rewards were recieved from the completed quest. No more claiming for completed quests.

100 - The concept of Common, Rare and Epic gear has been added. Each gear has T1-T3 possibilities. Now there are three different gear rarities adding bonus stats to gear. Common, Rare and Epic gear each come in T1-T3 tiers. The rarity of the gear will determine the quality of the stats and secondary stats associated with the gear.

109 - Fixed a bug that caused loot that spawned from a pervious strong hold to spawn in the next stronghold.

110 - Added a third stronghold type that has two levels within the stronghold.

111 - Fixed a bug with the Kill a world boss daily challenge.

112 - An assortment of changes and fixing have been made to the Chat UI to make it more useable now that it is functional.

113 - A particle effect has been added to Rapid Fire Projectile so that you can see the bullets being shot out. Works for player and for warmaiden AI.

114 - Fixed a bug with darkness/invisibility cloak lasting forever while you are on a mount.

115 - Made a change to allow skipping or cutting the success/fail animation when enhancing short to restart the enhancement process by attempting another enhancement. Basically players will not need to wait on the animation to finish to enhance again.

116 - Owning the 'Shower Pack' now allows you to see nude quest NPCs that will be placed in locations that require the shower pack. To clarify, nude NPCs and related quests will not be in this build but they are planned for the future.

118 - Made a change to automatically switch to the gear tab when gear is removed from the forge.

121 - Fixed a bug that caused the grinder levels to reset under certain conditions.

122 - Updated all text that mentioned having to claim your quests as that is no longer a thing. 

123 - Updated the text that mentioned needing a Nude Pack to the new name of Shower Pack.

124 - Fixed a bug that did not consider being prestiged when upgrading skills/perks/abilities that are gated by awakening level.

125 - Force Walk via phone call or quests now blocks flying and the use of mounts. 

126 - Added code that increases the chance of dropping in-class gear when gear is dropped.

127 - Fixed a bug that caused ragdolled warmaidens or soldiers to have standing upright colliders. 

128 - Added a new benefit to using Feral Essence. Now Feral Essence also reduces the respawn time for all mobs by 25%.

129 - Added an expand button to the chat box to make conversations easier to read now that chat is functional.

137 - Fixed a bug that caused the colliders from mission mode samurai to persist after they were killed.

138 - Made a change to allow bullets to pass through destroyed tank and airplane parts for mission and battle mode. Yes I know I said we weren't doing this but looked into it and found a way.

139 - Added a command to chat. The first of many. Type /challenges in chat to list your daily and weekly challenges.

140 - Introducing 25% XP bonus weekends. Every weekend Friday, Saturday and Sunday will see a boost of 25% XP. This will be very helpful as XP becomes more and more crucial to character progression.

141 - Fixed a bug that caused the day count to cap at 1025.

142 - Sound effect for leveling up during atk/def training, treatments, and login bonus has been reduced by 2.5db.

143 - The main theme song has been changed. We changed the song to something that sounds more epic and better fits the superhero genre. Although this change has been made it will only be heard in a few places since holiday builds feature holiday music as the main theme in most cases.

144 - Added a UI element to the forge to allow seeing the quality of gear when forging. 

145 - Fixed a bug that caused the Accept & Complete Quest Objective daily challenge to not work correctly.

146 - Fixed a bug that caused enormous lag for a short period of time when using the Exit Manager to switch from one character to another.

147 - Added (7) vacation cabanas for public use in the northern area of the Santonia Islands called "North Hampton Isles".

BUILD NOTES: 

Just a heads up that we are still in the process of getting scripts written and performances recorded for voice overs. On some of the cortex dialog since it is a voice over not accompanied by a pop up dialog bubble we are using text-to-speech as a temporary replacement. Not to worry once we get the performances recorded we will be sure to update the audio.

Next, we're tracking a few systems in place that are causing performance issues and taking up more memory than they should. These issues aren't new they have just been building up over the course of each new build. We aren't going to address them last minute before the build because doing so will create more bugs which we won't have the time to fix before Saturday. We will begin work on those after the next patch and include those improvements in 1.4.1a.

Next, we've added quite a few more quests to the game. Some of them my not make sense for the stage you are in. This is because we are pre-configuring some quests and will move them to the correct stage when we are happy with them.

Lastly, we've done away with increased kill counts for side quests as stages progress. We agree that this change made progression less fun and more grindy. We will make an announcement after the next patch with a new plan to increase difficulty as players progress to end game which will feel more rewarding.
