* Party members now need to be on the same map to get exp/loot
* Fixed crash when quitting the game
* Added endure to bosses

== Features & Improvements ==
* 1v1 Trade (equips, artifacts, coins only)
* Stylist NPC + around 20 more hairstyles
* You can sit down now for double regen and views (press X / can change hotkey)
* Fast Casting Toggle
* Chat Filter Toggle
* Buff Timer Displays
* Dodge Cooldown Display
* New leech mechanics x% to leech y% health/mana (+new dagger and drooping hat with the new mechanics)
* Extend monster hostility range by 50%
* Non-boss minions now drop items / exp
* Added 15s cooldown to boss minion respawn
* Enlarge/Zoom out minimap a bit

== Game Balance ==
* Reduced mana cost of Bash, Venom Strike, Strafing Volley (25 > 13), Force Shot (37 > 13), Shadow Step (37 > 25)
* Reduced mana cost of basic bolts by 5 (25 > 20 at Lv3)
* Added combo bonus to Force Shot
* Reduced mana regen bonus from int
* Twohand stance now gets double attack from equipped weapon

== Exp Rates ==
* Monster exp has been rebalanced with Lv100 monsters (Demons Maw) giving about +50% more exp than before, making it more worth it grind higher maps
* Level requirements have been increased around 1.5x-4x, if we account for monster exp rescaling it ends up being 1.5-2.5x more kills required.
* Those numbers are for Lv1-100, if we're talking about Lv100-150 its about 2.5-4x more kills.

== Drop Rates ==
* Drops have by reduced by a flat 1%-3%, this means lower level maps mostly retain their drop rates (e.g. 18% > 15%, 12% > 9% etc). But higher level map drop rates got a much bigger nerf (e.g. 3% > 2% and 2% > 1%).
* I think they don't need to be too low, due to random substat farming

== Stat Balance ==
* ASPD and CTR: Reduced breakpoint bonuses by half (a bonus every 10 agi/dex). It should be much more balanced now
* Reflect Damage: I dreamt up this new formula, it may or may not be broken [ReflectDamage = Reflect% * (DamageTaken / DefRatio^2 + FlatDef)]
* Life/Mana on hit/kill: Now fully scales with Vit/Int [HP gained = Value * (1 + Vit/20)]
* Added new form of leech (x% chance to gain y% of damage as hp/mana)
* Monsters now gain additional 1 hit per level (makes flee stacking harder to pull off, another Rogue nerf, sorry)

== Class Balance ==
Different classes now have different health scalings (they were the same before 🤦‍♂️)

=== Mage ===
* Reduced max health by 50% 💀
* Reduced Energy Shield 60% > 50%
* Earth Spike: Damage 50% > 40%, Slow Chance 50% + 5% * lv, Cooldown 1s > 2s
* Increased Firewall damage slightly

* Reduced Lightning Reflexes flee bonus 30% > 20%
* Added ranged atk bonus to Steady Hands, doubled for twohand stance

* Added 1s cooldown to Taunt
* New skill Spear Quicken: +25% apsd, +25hit/flee, +2% agi scaling for all skills

* (The goal was to give warrior a bit more staying power to do it's damage)
