New Mechanic

Armor Plating for Dragon Helmets

  • We are adding a new armor stat called Armor Plating.
  • Here is how it works:
    • Upon equipping an item with Armor Plating, you begin generating Armor Plate stacks.
    • While armor plating is active, all incoming damage is reduced by 40%, and you are immune to most forms of knockback.
    • Taking damage from any source reduces your armor plating by 1.
    • When your armor plating reaches 0, it becomes "cracked" and is no longer effective.
    • Armor plating will regenerate after 60 seconds have passed. It will also begin to regenerate if you don't take damage for 15 seconds and still have some armor plating left.
  • Armor Plating is being added to our new Infernal Armor set and Dragon Helmets. (Replacing chromatic scales)

:TrueHellstoneBlade:Dungeon Changes:TrueHellstoneBlade:

Outpost

  • Warden Shield health reduced by 17% (300 --> 250)

Ancient Digsite

  • Ancient Pharaoh now fires the "cursed sand" attack at the same time as the tornado to make the attack easier to predict.
  • Demonic Seal Shield health reduced by 50% (500 --> 250)
  • Hellfire Archdemon base health reduced by 23% (8600 --> 6600)

This is to compensate for the Repeater nerf and to slightly reduce the duration of the boss fight at higher difficulties, as this dungeon already takes enough time to finish as it is.

  • Improved magma bow charge animation to reduce visual clutter.
  • Reduced particle size of melee weapon slashes to reduce visual clutter.

  • Fixed true hellstone blade slash consuming mana even if you did not have enough, causing you to enter mana debt.
  • Fixed mob grinders not working while AFK.
  • Fixed forge armor and spirit armor playermodel textures.
    • Sadly animations are not yet supported.

⚠️Known Issues⚠️

  • Bow and Wand bullets were temporarily removed due to an alignment issue. (We temporarily added additional particles to keep them visible)
  • Repeaters temporarily no longer have a firing animation due to an issue with item data being overridden.
