We would like to start by thanking everyone who has submitted feedback on the proposed publish 81 changes. Below are a few changes you will see on TC1 as early as next week. Providing more choices of play styles while not invalidating any current play styles is the goal of these changes. We look forward to your additional comments. Here are a few changes that we will be making from your feedback:
Armor Stamina Loss Update:
Player’s stamina loss will now be based on the type of armor as well as the amount of armor that is equipped*. Each piece of armor up to five pieces will reduce the amount of stamina lost when taking damage. The armor pieces which provide the most stamina loss reduction will take priority.
- Cloth armor, leather armor, and jewelry will give the same stamina loss reduction as Pub 80.
- Blacksmith armor (platemail, ringmail, chainmail, and dragon armor) will provide a heavy bonus to stamina loss reduction.
- Studded leather armor, stone armor, bone armor, woodland armor, and hide armor will provide a light bonus to stamina loss reduction.
- Human racial ability Tough now provides a small bonus to stamina loss reduction.
Armor Inherent Mana Phase & SSI Debuff have been removed and replaced by the following:
Armor Inherent Lower Mana Cost
