Paths are an introduction class. If its taking too long for people to move to specializations - we aim to change that. This way, they get a steady increase of skills per 5 levels and @ 20 they can specialize.[DOUBLEPOST=1355687893,1355615714][/DOUBLEPOST]Removed ability to /kill while in combat.

Removed ability to /kill while in combat.

You just made a lot of people with big egos cry. For that, I thank you.

knowing you don't like to post glitch patches, thanks for patching them :3

Certain ones were patched that made the game much less enjoyable, so thanks kain

Curious, but did the Warrior skill Taunt get scrapped? I'm not seeing it in the skill list anymore, though it's in the Wiki still at lv10.

New Skills (in testing):
Decimation (Shoot 8-10 Skulls, casting wither on all targets hit)
Darkbolt (Shoots one skull at your target, no projectile drop)

 

[Drastikos]

Darkbolt sounds BAMF!

Would be sweet to see a flaming darkbolt at some point!

Any idea what classes these will be going to?

 

[Kainzo]

Some will be replacing Firewave (Decimation for Pyromancer)
We'll see what we can do and what is effective. Right now I'm over coming some massive issues - we can't seem to tag no-pvp to work correctly in the skill.

Just how large are the map expansions on 1.4.6?

Sweet, thanks for the link. On another note, did mystic's slow when charging up get fixed as well? I've yet to see.
