Patch 2.2

Step 3 of performance upgrades:

• Since our patch earlier this week worked out well, we have extended the use of our framework changes to an increased amount of resources.
• We expect increased average FPS, around +10% on i5 and i7 and a slightly reduced Loadlag.

Changed skills prerequisites:

• Mana Conservation 50 Intelligence.
• It was one of the most tedious grind in the game, and this way it should take a decent amount of time, but through general use of Magic.

• Necromancy and Arcane Magic now requires 50 Greater Magic instead of 75 Witchcraft and Spell Chanting respectively.

The idea here is that trough titles, schools should become a character's identity sooner. Spell Chanting and Whitchcraft will have their own Titles too and be fleshed out more.

To help raise their school more organically, some skills have been lowered:

• Sacrifice Spell Chanting level 1.
• Witches Brew Witchcraft level 1.
• Heal Other Greater Magic level 1.

Basic movement spells have also been made easier to obtain:

• Launch has ben made baseline for all new characters.
• Telekinesis Greater Magicc level 1.
• Begone Greater Magic level 15.

To motivate continuing greater magic after unlocking advanced schools and reinforce its use as a all purpose mage utility school:

• Venom Greater Magic level 50.
• Confusion Greater Magic level 60.
• Hasten Spells Greater Magic level 80.

Smoothed out the non magic abilities unlocks to make leveling more interesting:

• Power Attack 20
• Disabling Blow 30
• Knockback 40
• Whirlwind 50
• Seize 60
• Whirlwind 50
• Disabling Shot 50
• The Reading and Digging skills have been made baseline for all characters
• Skills and spells that have been made baseline are at 1g without requirements for those that had existing characters. Nothing is free in this world. (Was a problem in the InDev build)

Alignment changes

• Attacking a Mount or Warhulk ridden by a blue racial ally in the last 30 seconds will make you go rogue. (first step before more mounts related changes)
• Forgiveness requests should now always be asked even in case of instant death or after a loading screen.
• If a request times out, because of a crash for example, forgiveness is the default value. (presumption of innocence)

• Bugfixes:
• 404: Arcanist Inventory not found has been fixed.
• Two human Arcanists had Blackbolts for sale, they were the only one with it. They no longer do.
