Faxion v1.52 Patch Notes

New and Expanded Systems

• The Sin Nexus Park has been added to Purgatory City! Head just Southwest of the Guild Hall for quick travel to contested zones
• Conquest quests have been added, two per each zone. One quest requires the player to participate in the territory control battle, and the other requires the player’s faction to win the territory control battle. Conquests are a good source of Faith, so for those level 20 and above, be sure to grab ’em before leaving Purgatory City!
• The Faxion Bar has been implemented across the top of the User Interface. Check it out, it’s pretty spiffy.
• Faith can now be used to purchase equipment from the zone vendors. However Your faction must control the zone to interact with Faith vendors, so get out there and win!
• Limbo can now be completely conquered! Controlling zones now contribute to your faction world point total. The current Heaven vs Hell score can be found on the Faxion Bar
• The Armageddon System is now online! First faction to reach a total of 5,000 world point triggers their version of the world wide event

Highlights

• Due to a number of significant adjustments and bug fixes, all players have received a free ability respec. As part of this respec, gold spent obtaining the skills and training time will also be refunded
• The Seven Deadly Sin Zones have been returned to neutral control status. Go forth and conquer!
• The training cost of abilities outside a character’s primary class have been increased by 1
• While activated, Stand Strong now gives a stackable (up to 7) minute-long defense buff every 6 seconds to all allies within range. Though this ability drains stamina while toggled and significantly reduces the casters movement speed, it provides some awesome bonuses to you and nearby allies
• Stand Strong, Assail, and Herald have moved positions in the training trees
• A new Sprint ability is granted to all found in the General tab. Good for a quick burst of speed to either make a hasty escape or to run your prey down cheetah style. Be sure to rank it up, for great success! It’s important to note that toggling Sprint triggers a 10 second silence on the user, so use it strategically
• An area-wide faction chat channel is now available for both Heaven and Hell characters. Coordination is the name of the game. Well, technically Faxion Online is, but Coordination was a close second. Yea, let’s go with that >.> Oh, and type /faction to use this channel
• Fixed an issue where players could not interact with some quest givers of the opposing faction. Judgment and Hunt quests are now available to both Heaven and Hell characters
• The King of the Hill territory game has been adjusted. The point control will revert back to neutral if no faction members stay within the control area. Please note that point control is not the same as zone control, which is checked at the end of every 3 hour contest
• A new Login Screen is now in place. Way easier on the eyes, right? I’m diggin’ it
• While a vender window is open, just right-click on items to sell. No more shift-right-click

General

• The Who list is now faction-specific. You’ll have to track your enemies down the old fashion way – by creating an alt. Oh come on, you know you will, we know you will, just admit it
• New Logoff timer: 20 second disconnect timer when logging out in a PvP zone
• New disconnect timer: Your character will remain in-game for one minute if you are disconnected (closing the client counts as a disconnect). If you re-log during this minute, you’ll go straight to your character in-game, bypassing character select
• Fixed an issue where hair color was not always adjustable during character creation
• The font has been adjusted for chat windows, menus, and NPC dialogue
• Effect icons and timers located under the character portrait have been increased in size
