Server Changes and Bug Fixes

• Fixed long-standing inconsistent bow damage bug.

As a result of this update, many enchantments were removed as they have not been updated.2 Reworked a whole bunch of back-end systems to be more stable and resilient.

Dungeon Changes and Bug Fixes

Revamped the Dungeon Difficulty Scaling system to support increasing the difficulty via items and buffs. Dungeon Difficulty is now a % based system that influences various dungeon mechanics, mainly the amount and level of mobs that are spawned by Dungeon Portals. Each player in a dungeon will add 50% to the Dungeon Difficulty automatically. Boss Tiers are now upgraded based on the Dungeon Difficulty. Please check the respective dungeon pages to see which difficulties each boss tier will spawn at!

(For example, it is now possible to spawn a Tier 5 Boss in the Outpost Dungeon by increasing your Dungeon Difficulty to 400% or beyond.) Items that can increase Dungeon Difficulty will be added very soon!

Minor lore improvements/fixesupdates to various forge items. Added new stat display system in place offor the oldCirrus MMOBars. Added new subtitle cooldown display system for many forge items. Completely recoded the custom mana system so it breaks less often and gives developers much more control.
