Big thanks to OverClocked !! --- OFFICIAL (unofficial) PATCH NOTES --- --/ alter v21.1g /-- This is a patch on OverClock's Balanced Hero Survival v0.88e. It comes with bugfixes, some rebalancing and quality of life changes. Credits to: - Villagerino for the Rhapsody skin! (Trobairitz) - Jab1z for the Mars skin! - HerrDave Strider skin! - Explobomb and Lefroit for the Dragonspawn skins! - *icantfindthem* for the Skeleton Horseman skin! - *icantfindthem* for the Lizard Archer skin! - *icantfindthem* for the Orc Archer skin! - *icantfindthem* for the Twinblade Rogue skin! - Hotel for the Chorister of the Heretic Legion skin! - Maximal for the Dark Troll Monk skin! - Gluma for the Witch Elf skin! - Myself for the red monsoon icon! My hope here is that these changes will encourage a greater number of viable builds. It's all been done with balance in mind, without taking away the fun. The Ax versions were a beta test for the alter versions, so if you're playing that, play this instead! :) --- patch by Garathor ----------------------------- Hope you enjoy! ^_^

The optional quests were meant to show what's changed between OverClocked's versions and alter. As of v21.0a it is no longer updated. The reason is changes keep being made and this is too much to keep updated. Please refer to the quest with this version's name for the latest changes.
