Warcamp Update

Author: GS4-COASE
Date: 3/29/2008 3:58:38 PM


The following changes have been made to the warcamp system:

-The Spell Penetration maneuver has been temporarily disabled until it can be adjusted to be less deadly.

-Warcamp creature generation rates have been lessened.

-Ball spells have been removed from the mass effect spell limiter, as have the focused versions of Disruption, Implosion, and Maelstorm.

-Spells cast by Grimswarm creatures no longer count towards the mass effect spell limiter.

-Minor mass effect spells (such as Breeze, Call Wind, Mana Focus, Tremors, Quake, etc.) have had their contribution to the mass effect spell limit significantly lessened. Casting any mass effect spells whatsoever in the first two rooms of a warcamp remains a bad idea, however.

We will continue to monitor the warcamp system and make changes, as necessary.
