Minecraft 1.6.2 for Herocraft RPG Server!

gabizou · Aug 2, 2013

Greetings Heroes!

Welcome to Minecraft 1.6.2!

After a very long period of being on 1.5.2 while 1.6 has been released has provided us time to work on fixing plenty of bugs and introduce some minor changes to Herocraft. Comingh this Friday @ 2pm CST (August 2nd, 2013) the server will be undergoing maintenance starting at 1pm and the server will be Live on 1.6 at 2pm!

The HeroModPack will NOT be updated through Technic Launcher, due to Mojang's drastic changes to how Minecraft launches. The Installer will not work either. HeroMod will NOT be updated until unknownloner finishes his complete rewrite of the mod (about 90% done atm) and we will be patching that in as soon as possible. MacroMod/Keybinds is already released and a set of manual installers for Forge/Liteloader will be made available alongside a manual download for the mod folder to be thrown into the minecraft directory. We understand this isn't easy for many players, but we can not wait for Technic Launcher to finish their support for 1.6.

The HeroModPack will have a manual install method with a video on how to install the modpack. This will work with the Minecraft Launcher only.

There aren't many new materials that can't be found already on the map, so no new map expansions will be announced.

Here's the patch notes:

Woohoo~

This update was a bitch, and it has been long overdue, but 1.6 kinda threw a wrench in things.

A lot of work was put into this update, and I'd like to drop a few special thanks to a few people.

lumont for being a mom.
Sirdemonic3 for being a balance testing bitch and offering misc assistance / advice along the way.
FuturizeHandgun for donating his push/pull skills used as a base for the GrapplingHook ability, and offering assistance with coding along the way.
Keache for helping with the design and balance of the Disciple revamp.
Hydroking77 for misc ranger ideas / suggestions, and helping me with the math needed for MultiShot.
malikdanab for misc Runeblade ideas / suggestions.
The Balance Team for helping keep things balanced, but also keeping me in check when I went a little to crazy with some things.

And everyone else that did more of the same. You can't balance if you don't have bodies after all. So thanks everyone who pops up on test to help out in their spare time.

As long as you aren't affected by DOTs, you are basically invincible for 4 seconds .

Removed Skill: Ampul

The skill wasn't on live to begin with, it was pulled a while back.

It's just to coincide with the other patch notes

Otherwise if you go by the patch notes, Ampul would still look like it is in

There were a lot of changes to cooldowns and warmups this patch, and something you might not all understand is this one right here: "Global Cooldown no longer triggers after completing a warmup ability, it now only triggers once you start casting it."

This has a MUCH larger impact than you might originally think. First off, it means that warmups are more powerful than instant cast abilities. How? By allowing you to make use of the empty time normally spent on global cooldown. Due to this change, you can now let global cooldown actually cooldown while you are channeling a warmup ability. So, if you are channeling a 1 second warmup ability, by the time you finish casting it, global cooldown will be over, and you will be able to instantly cast another ability. So, to make a Wizard example:

You can Entangle a target, start warming up Bolt, and then after the bolt finishes, immediately fireball them, comboing for insane amounts of damage. You can do this every time entangle is off cooldown.

The global cooldown increase hit wizard the hardest in the first place as it is one of the few classes that really relies on quick combos of skills (e.g. blink -> root -> fireball -> icebolt -> bolt -> fireblast)

Yeah I'm aware of that change, but I'm pretty sure that any warmup skill breaks entangle, unless that has been fixed.
Wizard has reduced damage, reduced mobility and reduced cc

All classes were hurt by the global cooldown increase.

But yes, the entangle warmup bug was fixed.

:< why was voidsong hit? I never saw anything wrong.
I am happy that MelodicBinding will be more usefull, sure slow 4 is nice but it wont help much against most classes.
