== FEATURES ==

NEW CLASS: PIRATE CAPTAIN
* Avast, ye scurvy landlubbers! A new class, the Pirate Captain, is now live!


SAIL THE OCEANS BLUE: SHIPS AND SAILS ARE NOW LIVE
* Seize the day and set sail! You must have both a ship and a sail equipped to travel.
* Press [G] to hop on your boat (must not be on land).
* All Ships have their own stats, and sails are purely cosmetic!

EXPANDED BIOME: TREASURE ISLES
* The Treasure Isles now have adventuring lairs, dungeons, and deep ocean water.
* The merchants on pirate ships are now actual NPCs!


FISHING
* Fishing is now live! Catch fish and deconstruct them for resources and to add them to your collection. Some fish can be hard to catch and require special conditions! Currently, fish can only be found in water and lava. Chocolate and plasma faring fish will make their appearance in a future update!


GETTING STARTED
* There is now a merchant in the hub which sells the starter fishing pole, ship, and sails as well as fishing lures.


== GAME UPDATE ==

NEW IN THE STORE
* The Pirate Pack is now live! This comes with the Pirate Captain class, both the Master of Commanding and Ghost Pirate costumes, and the SS Draconic and SS Dutchman. This replaces the Class Pack in the store.
* The SS Draconic is now in the store, this ship and sail allow you to travel on lava without taking damage!
* The SS Dutchman is now in the store, this ghostly ship and sail are more agile than most other Galleons.
* Chaos Chest has been randomized and has new rare loot to be discovered! It's a pinata party!
* Updated the store art for the Elysian Guardian and Bone Knight, thanks LippyLapras!


ADVENTURE
* The Cookiephant Adventurer’s Box no longer drops.
* The Eggster Adventurer's Box now has a chance of dropping from any enemy in the game! It will drop adventuring loot commonly and uncommonly, and rarely you will obtain one of two new mounts from it - the Chocolate Chicanery or the Eggster Bouncer! The chance on this dropping is slightly lower than the Cookiephant box was.


MASTERY
* Mastery rank now goes to 130.
* Mastery rank 120 gives a fishing pole and 130 is coming soon.
* Mastery rewards no longer give mastery points.
* Allies now give additional points depending on their rarity.
* Tooltips in the Collections window now show how many mastery points each collectable is worth.


PATRON POINTS
* What was known in-game as Loyalty Points are now called Patron Points.
*Fixed an issue for people with 1000 Patron Points or more sometimes not getting their daily Chaos Chest.
* /stats now shows your total Patron Points.
* New stats are now tracked and shown on /stats – boxes opened, days logged in, and consecutive days logged in. These might be important in the future!


BUG FIXES AND POLISH
* Mounts now move slower when in water. Time to get in ship shape!
* Added tooltip to make it more clear that you're collecting a style as salvage when deconstructing equipment
* Fixed spacing between items in Collections window.
* Fixed a bug where players could get stuck in a mounted animation state after changing worlds and unequipping their mount.
* Fixed an occasional crash that could happen when aggroing an enemy.
* Fixed Invert Mouse axes options in the settings not taking effect immediately after changing them.
* Setting the window to "Windowed Fullscreen" will now go fullscreen on the monitor the game window is currently on.
* /joinme no longer displays invitations from ignored Players.
* Juggernaut and Lifesaver flasks have been removed from the collections UI until they can be added to the game.
* The Cryo-Storage lair in Neon City should now spawn correctly.
* Fixed a bug where dying while flying or in a boat caused other players to see you on the ground with wings or in a boat after respawning.
* We're working on our UI, in the meantime at some smaller window sizes the old UI will appear smaller. Adjust your resolution for now and the new UI will be coming in hot and fresh.

Arriving on 3/24/15!

This week we are introducing a small preview of the upcoming Fish and Ships update by including a ship (and sail) in the Power Pack, through Mastery, and a big ship in the Chaos Chests. On top of this new clubs now have deep water in the Sea of Regret and there are new terraformers that can be crafted for this deep sea of regret (cheap) and a deep Sea of Tranquility (more expensive).

We're also introducing Chaos Factor which grants one chaos chest per day on log in per point. These are very hard to get. You can get one at rank 100 mastery, one if you have max mastery, one per $1000 spent (which you can now view via Glyph and soon in game), and chaos chests now very very very rarely drop a tradable coin which grants one.

Finally, we're running an event this week in which every Shadow Arena and Dungeon grant double damage to one random class. Have fun!

== FEATURES==

Ship and Deep Water Preview
* The Power Pack now contains a clipper class Trovian ship and Trovian sail. All previous purchasers will of course be granted these automatically.
* Mastery rank 70 now grants a clipper class mastery ship and rank 80 a mastery sail
* You can acquire the starter sail in the hub
* The chaos chest contains a rare galleon class chaos ship.
* Club worlds now start with deep seas of regret.
* There is a craftable deep sea of regret terraformer which is quite cheap
* There is a craftable sea of tranquility terraformer

Chaos Factor
* Chaos Factor is now live. For every point you have you will gain a chaos chest every day that you log in.
* You earn one point at rank 100 mastery, one point at max mastery (as long as you keep it), and one point per $1000 spent on the game. There is also a very very very rare tradable coin that comes from chaos chests and grants one permanent point on consumption.

Shadow Power Event
* For this week only all Shadow Arenas and Dungeons will grant double damage to one random class!

== GAME UPDATE==

New in the Store
* You can now purchase the Bone Knight and Elysian Guardian costumes on the store!
* The Chaos Chest has been randomized. See what you get this week!
** Look for a giant ship, a magical pet, and a bouncy bug.

Adventure
* There are now multiple starting zones in adventure worlds which are rotated between. This should make it much easier to find content near where you spawn in.

Mastery
* Mastery rank 100 now grants a non-tradable choas coin.
* Rank 110 has been added and now grants the wings that used to be at 100.
* You'll notice that post-100 there are no longer rewards for the middle ranks. We don't want to keep giving adventure power post 100, and are looking at some other designs for how mastery works post-100. In the meantime we'll focus on major rewards only past 100 while we work on this.

Crafting
* Terraformers no longer cost Glim and have had their costs updated.

Classes
* Shadow hunters will no longer mark allies.
* Candy Barbarian's candy now has a much shorter delay before auto-looting

Bug Fixes and Polish
* Fix for some club worlds not loading at all, and some loading slowly
* Purple and gold dungeon portals have more informative text on them
* Balefire Beast dragon form has had its missing thigh fixed
* Club worlds at capacity will now be able to add ten club members above the normal capacity. No more getting locked out of your club events!
