Major Update

The Ember Saga: A New Fire · published 27 Mar 2017, 19:06 UTC

All newsPlayers around this dateRead on Steam

Greetings Embers,

It has been a LONG time, but we had a lot of changes to make and fix this title. After a lot of back end work we are finally ready to roll out our first major update. Most changes are to the game play mechanics and battle balancing, but we have also added a lot of new content as well. The most obvious change is to the quest log and to our new, improved, and expanded over world. You will start see more regular content coming from here out. We appreciate everyone's patience, and we look forward to bringing a better gaming experience to you. Below are the changes we have made. You will most likely have to start the game over, which we have tried to avoid, but the changes have been too many for most saved games.

ITEMS

  • Health Potion(Item)
    Recovery now at 20%
    Increased drop rate in Gazerbat and Ectophage.
  • Drought of Life(Item)
    Recovery now 20% +10 HP.
  • (New Item) Bandit’s Delight
    High drop rate from bandits type enemies
    25% recovery
    10% chance to gain state dizzy
  • (New Item) Honey
    5% Hp and Mp recovery
    New Dizzy (State)
    80% defense, -5% hit rate, 2-7 turns or 50 steps
    Add State Dizzy to Wine

CLASS CHANGES

  • Class Stat changes
  • +1 max hp per level
  • +0.5-1 defense on ranged classes
  • -0.5 defense on melee classes
  • -0.5 agility to all

GAME MECHANIC CHANGES

  • Retreating from Battle
    Retreat check 20% easier
    +15 to party on check
    Fixed early levels inability to escape.
  • Changed defense and magic defense calculation
    Armor is no longer a direct subtraction from attack value but is built as % of damage blocked. So both attack and defense now have a variation of number value. Giving better numbers. Example 2,2,2,2 was changed to 1,3,4,2.

ENEMY CHANGES

  • Hornet
    Max hp down 15 to 12
    Defense up 4 to 5
    Honey added to drop
  • Cave & Swamp Ectophage
    Defense down 10 to 8
    Max hp up 15 to 22
  • All bandits
    Defense down by 1

WORLD CHANGES

  • New game world map.

FUTURE UPDATE OUTLOOK

  • New Areas
    Wellenton
  • Gameplay mechanics
    Quest rewards
    Skill re-balancing
    XP re-balancing
