[attr="class","likedotitle2"]PATCH NOTES - 10/15/2023
[attr="class","likedoinfo"]Happy October! We have a few new updates we wanted to list out for your viewing convenience. Please be sure to direct all questions regarding this update to us in the #q-a channel for this update! One of us will be there to answer any questions, comments, or concerns related to the changes!
The Experience, Ranks, and Stats thread received a major update. Presence has now been removed as an attribute, and we've adjusted Constitution to take its place! Constitution is now being split into Durability and Vitality attributes, which will replace both itself and Presence on the site!
Now you might ask, why the change? Since the site reboot we've been monitoring how attributes, skills, equipment etc. have been working in our system! We've made plenty of changes for the sake of keeping things balanced and some based on member suggestions as well!
Presence was in an odd position as its mechanical usage directly went against the nature of RPing by forcing characters to act/react a certain way and by adjusting that to just have a narrative focus, we asked ourselves, why keep it then as an attribute? So we looked at the other attributes and realized that Constitution had the opposite problem and could be two mechanical attributes on its own instead of having both toughness and stamina/endurance!
So! It's because this is such a big change that we're allowing people to rebalance their EXP for their characters for free! This means that for your TOTAL EXP and not considering any banked EXP you have! For example if you've spent a total of 40k EXP on your character you're able to redistribute that 40k EXP among your character freely!
However, it should be noted that this DOES NOT mean you can do the following:
Important Note: You have 30 Days from when this update went live to make any changes that involve redistribution of EXP. After those 30 days have elapsed, your former Constitution and Presence attributes will default to Durability and Vitality, respectively! Additionally, until the character app updates are made, we won't process any additional upgrades or mission/event approvals until it's done!
Constitution has been split into two attributes: Durability and Vitality! You can read more in-depth by checking out this post! We've put a short description below for you to check out!
Durability - The Durability Attribute determines a character's physical toughness and resistance to damage.
Vitality - The Vitality Attribute determines a character’s recovery speed and stamina.
We've added a small section with some examples that show how attributes can interact with each other and what combinations would be great for a specific type of character build!
This can be found here!
That's all the updates that we have for now, but keep your eyes open for some of these upcoming updates:

The Experience, Ranks, and Stats thread received a major update. Presence has now been removed as an attribute, and we've adjusted Constitution to take its place! Constitution is now being split into Durability and Vitality attributes, which will replace both itself and Presence on the site!
Now you might ask, why the change? Since the site reboot we've been monitoring how attributes, skills, equipment etc. have been working in our system! We've made plenty of changes for the sake of keeping things balanced and some based on member suggestions as well!

For example if you've spent a total of 40k EXP on your character you're able to redistribute that 40k EXP among your character freely!
However, it should be noted that this DOES NOT mean you can do the following:
- Quirk Reworks - This rebalancing of exp doesn't mean you are able to perform a quirk rework. IF you have attributes tied to your quirk that no longer exist, you CAN swap them out for something else. This does not mean you can add attributes to your quirk or change ones that didn't receive updates. Only if you are affected by the changes!
- Purchasing New gear/skills - This is not an opportunity to purchase new skills/equipment with your total EXP. You have to use all the spent exp as the math allows, you can't just turn everything into unspent exp! However, if you have equipment with a Constitution attribute you will need to update it to reflect either durability or vitality and if you have equipment with presence you can swap that for a different attribute.
- Description Updates - Your descriptions cannot be altered unless they pertain to the attribute(s) affected by the change.
Important Note: You have 30 Days from when this update went live to make any changes that involve redistribution of EXP. After those 30 days have elapsed, your former Constitution and Presence attributes will default to Durability and Vitality, respectively! Additionally, until the character app updates are made, we won't process any additional upgrades or mission/event approvals until it's done!
