-also to test: that items get SUBTRACTED from stacks and multistacks properly
-this should be tested when items are subtracted via selling, deleting, quest turnins
-multiple stacks should be able to be moved to and from the bank

Classes
Ninja 2 (PTR)
- Major update to the newest version of Unity!
* Please report any issues you see with maps looking funny or not loading, or any other odd problems
- Area of Effect abilities now deal 10% less damage or healing to their 2nd target, 20% less to their 3rd target, down to a minimum of 50% damage to their 6th or more targets.
* To compensate, AoE abilities have had their base power increased. The result should be that these spells do nearly the same or more damage to 3 or fewer targets, but less to a larger number of targets.
* Targets are damaged in order of highest aggro.
* Targets are healed in order of lowest percent health left.
- Warrior
* Whirlwind power: 90 -> 100
- Dragonslayer
* Final Descent power: 275 -> 310
- Paladin
* Holy Shield damage reduction 35% -> 25%
* Divine Judgement power: 175 -> 200
- Guardian
* Guardian's Hope base power: 40 -> 55
- Necromancer
* Soul Transfer: Souls on kill 10 -> 15
* Soul Siphon power: 70 -> 60
+ Enhanced power: 90 -> 80
* Grand Summon taunt duration: 5s -> 3.5s
- Whole mess of changes to Ninja 2.
* Now uses Energy as a resource
* Shuriken and Bomb Toss visually swapped
* Smokestep now decreases Aggro (not yet working) and grants some Energy
* Number changes all over the place
The intention here is to establish two primary rotations: Tempered Blades -> Wind Slash -> Shuriken -> Repeat as the damage rotation, and an occasional Smokestep -> Bomb Toss -> Poison Dagger rotation to refresh your energy, debuff the enemy, and apply a long Poison. Flowing between the two regularly should be the key element of playing well.
Numbers certainly still need tweaking, but I wanted to get the changes out before leaving for the day to see if this puts Ninja closer to being fun and interesting.
- Ninja Ultimate -> Thousand Cuts
* Now has enhanced effects if imbued with an element
* Metal increases damage
* Wind makes you Dodge all attacks briefly
* Energy adds a powerful Bleed
- Fixed typos referring to Ninja's resource as Energy instead of Spirit
- Fixed resource costs in tooltips
- Fixed Necro passive not being updated as mentioned in b8 patch
- Many, many fixes to map and particle issues
- Ninja
* Ninja and Ninja 2 are now the same.
* Resource costs per spell: 15 -> 20
* Smokestep now returns 60 Spirit over 6 seconds
* Thousand Cuts: Imbuing Energy now refreshes all Spirit
- Known issues:
* Thousand Cuts visually does too much damage
- Fixed incorrect damage on Thousand Cuts (Tooltip is now off)
- Certain spells were adding more aggro than intended:
* Paladin: Radiant Blade
* Dragonslayer: Final Descent
- Ninja thematic update
* NOTE: Icons are still WIP. Trying to get a feel for changing colors first.
* Heavily updated skill names, icons, descriptions
* Mechanics mostly unchanged
* Metal -> Earth
* Energy -> Fire
* Spirit -> Chi
* Element stance durations: 5 -> 3 seconds
* Aggro reduction from Smokestep now working
- We're trying some more drastic changes to combat to see if a stronger emphasis on aoe combat is more fun. None of this is balanced or guaranteed to stay, we want to see how it feels and go from there.
* More interesting aoe abilities are now possible, including cone and line aoes.
* Warrior Auto-Attack, Sever, and Earthbreaker are now hit all enemies in a cone
* Mage Fireball and Meteor Shower now hit all enemies near the impact point
- Pirate and Alpha Pirate ultimates no longer require the user to stand still for the duration
* Cast lock lowered from 4 seconds to 1.5
- Rogue now dual wields weapons to test the system
- Synchronized accounts from Live back to PTR (You may have to re-unlock the new classes)
- Lowered all NPC Health and Attack stats by 25% to test fighting multiple mobs at once
- Note that this will throw off boss stats as well. If this generally feels better we'll fix it to only apply to non-boss enemies.
- Up to speed with Live now, including new Quest Tracker
- Settings menu overhaul, including manual control of graphics settings, several new hotkeys, and better organization
- Some of these changes actually went out with b17, but that's okay!
- AoE Updates
* Warrior
+ Sever: Now a cone attack. Power 115 -> 100
* Mage
+ Fireball: Now hits all enemies in a small area around the target. Power 110 -> 100
+ Ice Lance: Power 30 -> 40'

* Removed cone targeting system. Enemies will now always be targeted by distance, with a preference for enemies the player is fighting.
In testing now: New Quest Flow / Quest System Overhaul! (see details at: https://aq3d.com/news/newquestsystem/)
This new system is intended to help guide new players and to fix a few issues where a player could get lost or lose their current quest progress and not know how to get back.
This will also let new players know when there is new stuff offered in an area that they are entering and give them the OPTION of switching to the new Quest Chain (previously it would force you to switch as soon as you were in an area).
You will now also be able to keep a Quest tracked while going to any other map; previously Story Quests were only ever visible if you were in the appropriate area that was linked to the Story Quest (this is part of the overhaul).
As preparation for this testing phase:
-Characters have been set to Level 1 and will start back at Death's Intro
-All Quest progress has been reset
-Class Ranks are set back to 1
We'd love to hear your feedback! Let us know if the intended features are working as they should, or if you run into areas where the flow of quests gets confusing. Let us know about any places you get stuck (we are aware that there are currently some gaps in quest flow ex. Heartwood to Livingstone) and we will be addressing the content-related side of things at a later time
New Quest Flow fixes: Teleport feature has now been removed
Adjusted a few more quests to fill in gaps that will help guide players from Greenguard through to Doomwood
QUESTS ARE NOW LEVEL RESTRICTED Players will need to be within 3 levels of a Quest's set level in order to accept it. If a player enters an area where they do not meet this requirement, then the Story Quest will NOT be offered to them (will not appear in the Quest Tracker)
Currently this only applies to Story Quests; Side Quests / Repeatable Quests / Daily Quests have not been altered from what they currently are
Characters have been set to level 1 and back at Death's Intro

Moglomancer (PTR)
Moglomancer preview! Moglomancer is an area support class powered by calling on helpful Moglins.

Initiate a duel by clicking a player's portrait and selecting "Start Duel"

Moglomancer (PTR) Updated
* Final version of Moglomancer. This will be the version that goes live, so please report any issues you find!
* Known issues: Uses Necromancer image in class menu
* Area of Effect (AoE) Improvements
- This patch has a number of improvements to what we can do with AoE spells.
- AoEs can now be detached from Players/NPCs and left on the ground.
- AoEs can also have a duration, applying their effect repeatedly over time. We refer to these as "Auras."
* Testing new spells
- NPCs in Camp Gonnagetcha have a few new test spells. Use '/join campshrade' to test.
- Items with these spells can also be purchased from Dottie. They are infinite use.
- These aren't meant to be balanced or even useful, just to show off the potential and let us test new kinds of spells.
* Warrior's Whirlwind has been converted to an Aura spell. Thes means each hit is handled separately, allowing you to move in and out of range during the spell's duration.
* Moglomancer's Cross Skill has been converted to an Aura. It now remains on the ground, slowing and damaging targets while they stay in the area. In order to test this, Moglomancer is available to all players and gains 10x Class Exp.
Known Issues:
* The visuals are placeholders, just enough to show that they are working.
* Blizzy's VFX last much longer than the Aura does.
* Some aura projections are getting visually "stuck." Looking for a fix.

- Testing an experimental idea to be able to cast spells when no targets are around
- This is to make the game feel more responsive and fluid
- Currently all spells are castable
- We may restrict certain spells like Ultimates and Cross Skills to prevent accidental use
- If a target is nearby, you will still try to auto-target and run to the target if those options are enabled
- Let us know how this feels!
