• Banks no longer delete items that are inserted into them when there are no slots remaining in the bank.

• Removed parry behavior from aaks mage.
  
• Added a brief slowdown in the lead-in of 2h sword attacks when AI performs them, similar to polearm attacks.

• Increased the amount of moldmetal required to level up (increase is larger at higher levels).
  
• Higher tier enemies will drop slightly more moldmetal by default.

• Moldmetal is now able to be stabilized at any bank kiosk for a 12% fee.
  
• Stable Moldmetal will now stack to 999k.

Blocking

• Block has been reworked to be percentage-based rather than a flat value. Block rating now directly scales how much incoming damage is absorbed, and applies after resistances.

• Blocking damage now reduces your stamina by 50% of the damage blocked.

• Fixed an exploit where spamming block could allow energy to regenerate while blocking.

• Block now supports elemental damage types.

Enemy Threat & Aggro

• Enemies now have a significantly improved threat/aggro system. NPCs better track multiple threats and won't just laser-focus on one player in all situations.

• Stunning an enemy now resets their threat, causing them to more aggressively prioritize whoever triggered the stun.

• Bosses will no longer lose track of you entirely after you put some distance between you.

• Enemies won't immediately target you just for making noise nearby if you're not already on their radar.

Weapons & Abilities

• Heavy punch has been sped up.

• Unarmed melee reach has been extended.

• Scrap Glaive and Mangrove Spear have been buffed.

• Dusk disc shotgun damage reduced to match disc collision damage.

• Fixed hits on high-damage zones not receiving the increased crit chance that other high-crit scenarios get.

• Infused Parry Dagger now has 25% spirit block instead of spirit resist. Drop rate reduced.

• Spark Bangle (new wrist item): grants the lightning dash perk and +4 energy.

• Mind of the Reclaimer minor charges buffed from 15 → 18.

• Sequence Breaker available on the T2 Breaker MDrive works correctly again.

• Lightning spear arena: enemy less likely to get stuck on the floor.

• Water shamans now drop a guaranteed waterpot.

• Mangrove spearmen no longer guarantee a fork spear drop (added to their loot table instead).

We've felt that green body parts were out of place in the progression hierarchy. They were mostly concentrated in the bunker and easily accessible, lying around on the ground. Now they are assorted uncommon drops from most enemies on the mainland.

• Removed green body parts from the bunker.

• Increased the number of available attribute points per green body part from 4 to 5.

• Added more green (T2) body parts: 9 options per body/arms/legs slot and 8 heads now exist.

• T2 body parts added to drop tables across multiple enemy types:

  • ~10% chance from Zanor, Water, and Corrupted enemies (including Protochasm).

  • ~30% chance from Minibosses and Scrap Captains.

  • Guaranteed from Protochasm Floor 2 boss and the Enshugoo boss.

• Legs and torso body parts now grant carry capacity.

• Note: this is not affected by inventory, only equipped items.

• Energy regen delay is now calculated as current equip weight over carry capacity.

• Equip weight affects how far you're launched when hit with a damage-launching attack.
