[Update] Nuku says, "Stance command is now a thing. You can use it to switch the damage types for powers that have damage variance (which is basically nothing right now).

[Update] Nuku says, "Secondary hits can no longer trigger secondary effects. Too much!"

[Update] Nuku says, "Pets now benefit from 'unusual' combat skills of their owner. Front Row makes minions more eager to Support their leader. Taunting Strikes opens up new Opportunities for their attacks. And if you Roll With It, your minions will move with greater Speed."
[Update] Nuku says, "Pets now gain the warded rating of their summoner."
[Update] Nuku says, "Rage of the summoner now makes pets better at healing."

Enduring Malice gives 0.7 per point, Damage gives 0.3 and Speed gives 0.1 per. Assuming you have any points, your DoTs will have their duration -reduced- by 10 + ten times the total to a maximum of 50%. Its damage is increased by twice as much, meaning about the same damage overall, but it happens -faster-. If a DoT would be reduced under 1, it will stop at 1, and you'll only get the bonus damage for what brings it to 1 or less."
[Update] Nuku says, "Increase to damage for DoTs adjusted to make it -exactly- the same as what it was before, just faster."

[Update] Replace Cartridge Hinoserm says, "Significant changes have been made to the server's disk subsystem that should drastically improve recent disk latency issues caused by poor cache performance."
[Update] Nuku says, "When purchasing from the web, if it finds you are overflowing, it will try sorting/stacking -before- producing any error. If that resolves it, it will continue happily."

[Update] Nuku says, "Staff list pruned of dead weight."
[Update] Code Worker Miorna says, "As all combat is limited by patrol points now, the web should no longer give you a timeout from combat for searching again too soon after your last search. As a note, the web combat may still require time to clean up the last fight, during which you will still be unable to search."
[Update] Nuku says, "Mega combats are now strictly superior for daily missions."

[Update] Nuku says, "Cancel that update, at least for Rusted."
[Update] Nuku says, "You can no longer join a party mid-battle."

[Update] Nuku says, "In theory, clearing a battle will evict any disconnected players from a party. This will keep parties tidy, while giving a player a chance to reconnect if the battle they paid patrol to be in is still going when they get back."

[Update] Nuku says, "Negative charge powers don't need to be AS negative to get instant firing."
[Update] Nuku says, "Sellers in consignment stores may sell their goods for tokens. sell itemnumber=price=tokens The word tokens is specific. It will then put it up for tokens and sell like any other item. This works for people buying in game or through the web page."

[Update] Nuku says, "Result posted for Dragon Tales. Mechanical effect being coded."
[Update] Script-Kitty Fauna says, "New stringparsing: [power stat <stat> of <power> for <target>]. No associated [if ] statement is currently coded."
[Update] Nuku says, "New Research Available."
[Update] Nuku says, "Bug that caused skipped turns appears to be fully remedied."
[Update] Nuku says, "Fixed a critical error that caused talkscript spawned enemies to not yield infection/chakras and related booty."
[Update] Nuku says, "After much debugging and sweat, repeats are validated for silky smoothness, and can even cooperate when there is more than one repeatattack status on a power/item."
[Update] Nuku says, "While performing a survey of power use, I found secondary powers were not setting their true damage. I cannot say for certain what this was breaking and how, but it wasn't right and is now fixed."
[Update] Nuku says, "Rarely used, poorly documented, hero options to use with a power have been removed."
[Update] Nuku says, "HPBuffers are now used -after- damageimmunity, which is better for positive damageimmunity and worse for negative."
[Update] Nuku says, "New status created, PowerAmp(damage type). It only works with specific damage types (so not physical/energy). It modifies the damage by 100% + ((mag)/20+(mag)) * 25) If the mag is negative, it will take away that amount from 100 instead of adding to it. This has no hard cap beyond what is built into that equation. At Most, assuming infinity of negative infinity of this status, you could change the damage by up to 125% or low as 75%. 25% is the starter value we picked to test and play with and could be buffed later."
[Update] Nuku says, "Winter Witch is now better able to hurt things with cold and less able to hurt things with fire."
[Update] Nuku says, "Testing required, but poweramp statuses should apply to mobs without the innate immunity that high ranking mobs get."
[Update] Nuku says, "Damage should be less floaty."
[Update] Nuku says, "Mobs no longer cap out at an area's level and should be able to keep up with a player, provided they can normally get them to spawn. This should make levelling less painful as you reach the cap of a given hunting area."
