Version history[edit]

Patch Changes
October 26, 2021
  • Positive percentage-based enhancements now display with a "+." For example, swiftness now displays "+33% Movement Speed" instead of "33% Movement Speed."
May 11, 2021
  • Duration-stacking boons and conditions now behave consistently. They directly stack durations added from all sources, do not have hidden stack limits, and generally have shorter maximum durations. With most nondamaging condition durations stacking to a maximum of 10 seconds, we aim to reduce situations in which players can become stuck in combat because of a long-duration condition, preventing them from using their mount.
June 25, 2013
  • Changed from 50% fumble on regular attacks to 50% fumble on all attacks.
  • Now only stacks up to 5 times (still stacks duration).
August 28, 2012 Game release:
  • Weakness has been added to the game.
