• Adventure statistics

• Adventure skill balancing

Some adventure abilities appeared to be too weak, so they were chosen very seldom by players. After a lot of testing we have strengthened them as follows: Barrel Roll was buffed with a longer duration, but also a higher cooldown time Inspire was buffed from 5% damage, increased to 20% Eagle Eye was buffed from 50% higher accuracy to 75% and from 20% critical hit chance to 50%

• Elimination of Red Team advantages

In comparison to the blue team, the players in the red team had a couple of advantages in each adventure, which lead to a significantly higher winning chance. We have changed some of these drawbacks: It was not possible to shoot at players on the mill when standing on the bank, but players on the saloon were able to shoot at enemies on the mill. This resulted in a small advantage for team red, because usually its players keep the saloon in the first rounds. We have slightly reduced the obstacle of the carriage's handle in the near of the bank in order to tackle this issue. In each round, team red had the first move and was benefited therefore, because team blue did not stand a chance of winning races around buildings. We have changed how the action queue is computed: Now the first move of each round is alternate between the red and the blue team.

Bug fixes

• Fashionable handbag dropped from all jobs

The fashionable handbag, one of our new collection items, could be found at every job by mistake. This is now fixed, but already obtained handbags will not be removed.
