...it's usually Ibuprofen and whiskey. But close enough! :D
Speaking of which (did I mention this already?), I actually picked up the modding pen yesterday and did a few more changes. I intend to have ONE more release on or before 1.10, and after that the mod will be going to 1.10.
One direction that I may be heading towards: developing two versions of the mod. One for Single Player, and one for Multiplayer. As I've said before, it truly is impossible to balance for both. And, since I don't particularly want to compromise either, I'm making plans for doing two versions. They'll share ALOT of similarities. Just that the MP version will be geared towards that sort of play, so drops, experience, monster difficulty, etc. will all be balanced for it. Single Player won't get shafted for it (if anything, MP probably will be seen as getting the shaft :P). It will just allow me more freedom in terms of balance. Especially if I ever get my Dark Tower Realm up and running. :P We shall see.
Just a few highlights:
- Experience is now halved from clvl 80 onward, and quartered from clvl 90 onward.
- Experience is now halved when your character level is +/- 6 levels and beyond the monster's level, and quartered from +/- 10 levels and beyond the monster's level.
- Completely redone Hireling stats.
- Added 27 new Rune Words.
- Lowered Minion of Destruction's chance to Smite.
