Prominence II RPG: Hasturian Era

3.0.10 - Health Overhaul & Blood Death Knights

This update brings two new big things: A new tank class; the Blood Death Knight. And most importantly, a health overhaul.

From now on, players will start gaining max HP based when they level up. Enemy damage was adjusted and the max hp given by gear and talents was too; the S'kellak's Blessing fate now grants +100 Max HP.

For more info about this, read the blog post that explains these changes

Important Changes

• Health Overhaul: Players will now gain health each level. Talents and armor sets have been adjusted to better suit tank builds, and damage was re-adjusted.

• New Frostmourne Model: A new model for the Frostmourne artifact has been forged.
• Healing!. Due to the new health adjustments, healers are in a better state and even needed for multiplayer. For singleplayer, there were consumable buffs, like the Health Flask now healing 10% max health + 35% of maximum health over 10s!
• Healthbars. The hearts in the HUD have been completely replaced with a healthbar, so it's easier to see your HP in later stages
• PvP: Thanks to the new HP changes, PvP is in a better state in the late/end game. It still is not fully balanced, but a PvP focused update will come in the future.

Prominence II RPG v3.0.2

Player Damage Increase

Due to scaling being harsh in the early game, this update focuses on buffing the player, specially in the early game, to ease out starting the modpack. Players who don't have good builds will also benefit from it, being now strong enough to go through the campaign (and even low tier mythic bosses).

Specifically, the rebalancing introduced in v2.0.0 was reworked to no longer have stamina hits (First hits being stronger than the rest) and the global -50% damage reduction was removed, due to this, technically damage was also nerfed (scaling is a lot stronger) but due to the player having double damage now, the end game damage is really similar.

For those who liked the difficulty from 3.0.1 and 3.0.0, I am planning on adding new features into difficulties later on, and adding the same scaling as an optional feature.

Balance Changes

These damage changes affect mostly the early game, making it less punishing, while also affecting the endgame similarly to how it was previously (and has been since the v2.0.0 update released last year)

Player Damage

• Increased player damage globally by +50% (Actually removed the previous -50% reduction)
• Dynamic damage now starts applying after 10 damage is dealt.

Talents

Other

• Increased minimum of Ashes of the Stars to 15%, maximum to 35%
• Increased minimum of Omniscience to 7%, maximum to 25%
• Reduced damage of spellblade spin attacks by 40%
• Obliterated newest spell oil from spellblade
• Disabled Auto Swap from Spell Engine

Other Changes

• Added new main menu song
• Magus can no longer be summoned outside the glass ocean
• Fixed extra hearts showing as empty in the hotbar

• Corruption System. A high risk high reward system where you get stronger but fall into madness. With integration between talents & artifact tree passives.
• Infusion System. Find infusion smithing templates to infuse Etyr and Corruption into any weapon, armor, or tool.
• Cinderstone Trophies. A new item has been added that allows you to craft QoL items such as the Explorer's Compass, among others. Their recipes were adjusted to require this item, which is dropped by campaign bosses or made using mythical essences! Making these useful items accessible later on in the gameplay.
• A rewritten Void's Invasion. Following an Elden Ring inspired writing style, and focusing more on the story with slightly cryptic indications.
• Spanish Translations! The Void's Invasion and Hasturian Era storylines are now also in Spanish. This does not apply to other questlines due to it being a very time consuming task for me. Other languages aren't planned as of now, as I only speak english and spanish.
• A lot more! The changelog is too big for it to fit in a Discord message, so go read the full changelog in CurseForge or Modrinth!

What's coming next?

Hotfix Changes

• New Artifact: Ash'edar, The Cosmic Twins. This is the first dual wield artifact! Featuring 6 abilities that change according to which weapon you're holding in the main hand.

It's by far the most complex artifact at the moment and might get changed in the future updates.

Fixes & Brews!

This update polishes out some issues from the last update (mostly related to EMI), while also bringing small additions like more Copycats, rotating chipped blocks and more!

The modpack now comes with VanillAA enabled by default! This shaderpack integrates TAA into Minecraft, making the game look better on distances and fixing the "mipmap issues" some mods have. Performance impact may depend on your system but most systems won't have any noticeable impact as after all it's only adding TAA. If you have a really old system and are getting low fps, you might want to disable this shader.

• Chipped blocks can now be rotated
• Buffed the Tempest weapon to not fall behind in the endgame
