Game Update June 13, 2024 (EG Balancing Adjustments)

Around 8:45 AM UTC+2, game servers will restart for a game update to be deployed.

Event Preparations

• Prepared the upcoming Dinoball event.
• Event NPCs now also sell country titles! We added a new "Title shop" button for this so that the event shop would not be overcrowded with too many items.

Stability Attribute Readjustment

We needed to address the stability attribute because it was possible to almost completely nullify the status effects Fear, Confusion, and Stun.

• Maximum effectiveness of the Stability Implant is now reduced to about 50% shorter runtime of fear, confusion, stun status effects (at Implant level 55).

Passive Extra Power Charging

• Extra Power is now slowly charging over time during combat; this means that even if you are not taking damage during a fight, you will eventually gain full Extra Power.
  • You need to have an active attack target within 5 levels of your ranger's equipment level range for the passive charging to work.
• Extra Power no longer depletes outside of combat; this means you can take all of your remaining extra power into the next battle.
• The Rage attribute also helps to speed up the passive charging of Extra Power.
• Less Extra Power is now gained from incoming damage to achieve a good balance with the new Extra Power passive recharge.

Manual Extra Power Skill Usage

You can now skip the use of a full Extra Power bar if you want to use it with a later skill.

• Triggering skills with Extra Power works just like before (left mouse click or keys 1-4, E when Extra Power bar is full).
• Skip the use of Extra Power by holding the ALT key when you trigger a skill.
  • If you are using the mouse to trigger skills, you can also right-click instead of using the ALT key.

"Adrenaline" Buff Improvements

• The Attacker buff is now only provided if the attacked site was held by a clan before (no buff when trying to take a site from Dinoville).
• The Attacker and Defender buffs will now also block status effects from being applied by Duelists and Outlaws who do not have the matching buff.

Changes to "Battle Cry"

• When used without Extra Power, Fear now affects 1 target (previously up to 3 targets) for 3 seconds (previously 5 seconds).
• When used with Extra Power, Fear affects up to 3 targets for 7 seconds.
• Improved target fleeing direction calculation to search for a free space in order to avoid hitting collision too early.
  • This means that if you would fear a target into a wall, that target will flee in a different direction.
• Added new "Panicked" status effect that is triggered when "Fear" does not find a valid fleeing direction (i.e. when the target is stuck in collision).
  • "Panicked" makes the target follow you for as long as the status effect is running; collision is ignored.

• Reduced "Shock" trigger chance to balance it along the Extra Power changes to not make it to powerful (reduced by 1/3)
• Fixed a bug with the display of the "Emboldened" strength in the description of Ankylosaurus skill Tail Smash; the skill did not change, but the correct value of 250% is now shown (previous incorrect display: 300%).
• Status effect icons now fade out more slowly than they fade in, making it easier to see status effect changes.
• The close combat dinosaur rotation towards target now ends as soon as melee range is left, resulting in cleaner and smoother transitions between combat situations.
