The Hopebringer's v1.4.9 patch has gone live and includes new additions to the bestiary, along with some miscellaneous improvements. [b]Dungeons and Scenarios[/b] [list][*]The Protecting the Artifact scenario now features multiple new potential NPC and miniboss types available for its wave spawns.[/list] [b]NPCs[/b] [list][*]Introduced a new Giant Spider miniboss type. These have a new appearance, unlike the smaller spiders. They are as you would expect, quite a bit larger, and have a different mesh and textures. These spiders will leap and have a deadly poison, like their smaller cousins. But they also have a spider web attack which can restrict your movement and make you unable to attack for a time. They are resistant to poison, but vulnerable to both fire and cold. [*]Introduced new Night Blade NPCs. These are a new rogue type that will only appear on Undead or mixed maps. They can use stealth, backstab, and penetrate armor. [/list] [b]Sound[/b] [list][*]Optimized some animation notifies which were runing on the server and client, but only needed to run on the client. [*]Localization updates. [*]Fixed a bug that had an orc pain sound on one of the smaller spider hit reactions. [/list]
