Changes to the coven life bonus

Posted on 08-Jul-2010

I've read through all the feedback and decided to go with option #3. Which is the "Battle shield" idea. A lot of people wanted to ditch the life bonus and get the relics back to use on strength and toughness, but I think for everyone that's going to be more hassle than it's worth. I didn't bring this up to remove the idea of the coven life bonus, it was just to get it off the hourly reset to help speed the resets up. Option #3 does this.

In this example the player life is 100 and the coven bonus they get is 25.

How it used to work
On the hourly reset the 25 coven bonus is added to your life, which shows as 125/125 on the left side bar.

How it works now
The sidebar shows your actual life, which would be 100. The coven life bonus is added when you battle. So it'll appear you have 100 life, but when you enter battle your life will increase to 125. The 25 acts as a "shield". So the first 25 damage that is hit against you doesn't come off your actual life. Hourly resets should be a little faster now. Thus making coven life bonus only applicable in player battles.

On a side note, speed being added to the coven bonus will probably never happen.

Notice any bugs? Please let me know!

Over the next couple days we have a couple more updates to make to the coven war system (V1.3) which will be the last BETA run, as we've got only a couple tweaks to do we must pretty much be hitting perfection. Look forward to that very soon!

Thanks,
Ash

YOUR LIFE BAR ON THE LEFT SIDE BOX WILL APPEAR LESS IF THE COVEN YOU ARE IN HAS A COVEN LIFE BONUS. YOU ARE NOT ACTUALLY LOSING THE LIFE, THE COVEN LIFE BONUS JUST IS NO LONGER APPEARING ON TOP OF YOUR ACTUAL LIFE. YOUR ACTUAL LIFE IS NOT CHANGED! HOW IT SHOWS NOW IS WHAT YOUR ACTUAL LIFE IS, GO TO YOUR "HOME" TAB AND VIEW THE COVEN SECTION TO SEE THE LIFE ADDON YOU GET WHEN YOU GO INTO BATTLE. THE COVEN LIFE BONUS NO LONGER APPEARS ON THE LEFT STATS BAR!

On a final note, the world cup plasma ENDS TOMORROW! So get your last lot of cheaper plasma in now.
