Hosting this whole week - Small update (Development Hell)
Hi, it's been a little while. We stopped hosting for a while because the game had become rather stagnant and we wanted to pull off a huge update to overhaul a huge chunk of the game, but that update is stuck in Development Hell™ and probably won't be ready for a while still. However, I figure there are a number of people who never got to play the game in its current state due to it not being summer yet. So I'm hosting for a full week (Friday today, to next Sunday the 7th) to give people that chance to play, and to help some people who had played have some closure with the current version since we stopped hosting rather abruptly.
When the Big Update™ comes out, we will wipe the save system clean to give the whole thing a new shot at life. In its current state the endgame is not very interesting and is way too quick to get to. The new version will address this to a great extent, but to give it a fair shot we have to set the playing field even again. So this might be the last time you see your current save file. And for those of you who made extraordinary progress, don't worry too much, we'll be preserving a snapshot of the leaderboard somewhere so you can still show off your accomplishment in the future version of the game.
Anyhow, with all that aside, there are a few changes that will be showing up in this host. I'll be listing those here.
The Changes
- Items dropped by chests and found in shops are now controlled by proper droptables in the server code. You probably shouldn't notice too huge of a difference in the items you encounter and the rates of encountering them, but it should be a bit better balanced now.
- Major bosses now have dedicated drop tables which has enabled them dropping slightly more interesting loot. (They no longer just explode into consumables)
- There is now an AutoModerator on the server. It will be judging you constantly. Always watching. There is nowhere to hide.
That is the changelog. Since Conan is still hosting Farming, his server is unavailable for hosting on. Only the US-East and EU-Netherlands worlds will be up.

It could be used with a Dragon Dagger to buff it or maybe also work as a standalone item. Depends on the strength of the shields. If it blocks the f/i ice power, it would really debuff f/i, which is great

can be used with weapons except legendaries and long swords

These are somewhat unlikely but we do have plans for revamping most combat in the future.
This will probably be added once ghost updates stop being an issue. For the moment though we can't afford the extra networking cost of doing this since the game is already strained to the limit when it comes to ghost updates.

What would you think about adding damage numbers when attacking enemies? It would be useful to know what each weapon does what amount of damage, but the only way I can figure that out atm is through fighting bosses, because those have HP counters unlike other enemies.
