For the past 1.5 months we had plenty of major game-changer features:
- Added lakes generation in the dungeons;
- Added tiny levels generation: now low dungeon levels can become pretty small;
- New dungeon profile: t_modified;
- Don’t covert pit walls with water or lava on deep levels;
- Monster respawn rate based on number of players;
- Most of early powerful races/class got endgame exp penalty, eg Dragon at 49 lvl get exp factor 900% (means that you level up to 49 level normally, but to get lvl 50 to obtain final and most powerful Great Wyrm form – you need x9 more exp then before);
- Immunity to the element won’t be faceroll anymore – you will still get small amount of damage;
- Unsummon minions after teleporting far away to prevent cheezing (killing unaware mobs by minions);
- Monsters (and especially uniques) can’t move/stomp minion if it’s the only minion of the player (to make fights with MOVE_BODY uniques less painful for Tamer/Necromancer)
- Hunger: a bit less speed influence on satiation at 50 lvl;
- Less speed penalty due overweight for some races/classes;
- DAM_RED now works only VS physical attacks;
- Added % damage reducement; now it works for some races (instead of raw DAM_RED);
- Added sound for breaking door;
- Finish macro
