Mini Bosses
Mini bosses now have much more consistent loot packs regardless of whether they drop a chest or not. Mini bosses also now have a 10% chance to drop a champion skull. You can view the Bestiary to see which mini boss drops what.
Several new mini boss types have been added. All of these have a chance to drop a statue, except the Seraph which has a 100% chance of dropping a titled, 1175 hued body sash.
Added several new NPC types from the demo. We now have all NPC types that were found on OSI, to the best of my knowledge. Hue ranges for clothes have also been corrected to accurate values. There is still work to do on clothing/hues for existing NPCs.
NPCs are a work in progress but we hope to eventually have a spawning system for NPCs identical to that of OSI, which will help better "paint" the world and make it feel more like home.
Energy Vortexes and Blade Spirits
Energy vortexes and blade spirits can be provoked again. The AI for them has been totally rewritten and their attacks should make more sense, as well as their movement being smoother. EVs will no longer lose their combatant just because it goes out of LOS.
Automated Backups
The shard will now automatically back up daily onto a separate web server. This will ensure that in the case of catastrophe, we'll always have an extremely recent save backed up.
