Patch notes: 0.4.6 XP & Ability update

 

 

I want to push Journey Online to focus more on endgame content than the leveling part of adventurers for each player. In the recent weeks i have grabbed a bunch of information regarding the leveling curve and have implemented the first change of the new XP idea. Future iterations will correct the curve a bit. But the idea is the same. I want players to reach endgame faster in order to COOP more easily with same level units.

The second part of the patch focuses on Ultimate abilities. I gave all active ultimate abilities a bit more of an UMPHF. Ultimate abilities should feel powerful and players should create strategies around them. I will be looking at the UA active and UA passive power balance.  Since UA got their CD increased to 10 turns (even though they got buffed), passive UA abilities might be a bit to powerful at the moment. Future patches could change the power balance between the two sides.
