Patch notes: 0.4.14 You’ve got mail

 

Finally we have a safe way of giving all players rewards from the game. Before players didn’t really know when they obtained a reward from a certain aspect of the game. Now players will see a notification popup on the tavern keeper when they obtained a new reward. This change also negates the possibility of rewards not being sent from Tower of Heroes or Arena when they are being calculated.

A major change happened to how column attacks are executed on targets. I changed all column style attacks that now take in to consideration the tank in front of them taking some of the damage given out. This will further increase the value of tanking and squishy damage dealing units. At the same time, we now have adventurers that are dealing column style attacks being able to deal a solid 30% more damage to the main primary target when that one is the only one alive in its column (Aka, bosses).  There is a few options i take in to consideration when balancing values out on damaging attacks such as if an ability can snipe, effects, uniqueness and whether an ability is considered a certain style (Column, Row, AOE, etc ..). While AOE abilities also hit the back line i did not change their damage scaling for the softer targets in the back, since their damage is much more spread out than the column style attacks.
