So... brand new days - new version
I try to work as fast as it possible and now I came with something new.
Battle for Elements 1.50 to 1.51 update pack has been released. Characters from version 1.50 are compatible with this new version. I fixed many bugs from 1.50, so game more stable now. Also, Cubaholic made impressive cartography work. Many players required Gamble Filter, so here it is. In addition, in this version we have not one, but even three new contests! Happy gamimg. Please see the full list of changes below.
Remember that is update pack, so you need version 1.50 installed in order to install this. You may get 1.51 here.
Global changes:
New dynamic gamble costs (thanks to Nefarius for code clarification). Now it scale with character level. This way required to balance maximum buy prices, so those are 10000 on Normal, 20000 on Nightmare and 30000 on Hell. Also, I raised overall game drop quality. And in addition, chances for gamble set item now 10%, and 5% for unique item. Formula for gamble exceptional and elite versions of items also changed in better way. Now it is: exceptional chance = (ilvl - excep qlvl) * 1,5% + 1% for Nightmare and exceptional chance = (ilvl - excep qlvl) * 1,0% + 1%; elite chance = (ilvl - elite qlvl) * 0,5% + 1% for Hell.
