* The Nightmare and Turkeytopia Mystery Boxes now work like the Snowfest Mystery Box - including the ability to use golden holiday keys on them.
* Fixed bug where 30% bonus for two star stats on equipment increased % Maximum Health stats by too much. Also adjusted up this stat for shadow equipment. This means that while the previous max per equipment was around 65% it is now 50% and also non-two star pieces of shadow equipment should be higher overall.
* Fixed bug where existing rings weren't given 30% bonus for two star stats
* The Ice Sage's shield now only protects you from, and is dispelled by, attacks that do at least 10% of your maximum HP.
* Ice Sage ultimate ability now has a larger radius.
* Ice Crash has a larger radius, slightly longer cooldown, and starts slightly lower.
* Ice Crash will no longer explode when it hits the player who summoned it.
* Ice Sage now starts with 10 less attack speed and the ice ward ability gives +20 attack speed.
* The sound effect for the Ice Sage's shield now plays when you use the ability while a shield is already up.
* Fixed 'face of flow' refunding as the chocolate face.

Hey all,

One of our core values is a dedication to rapid and transparent iteration and so we wanted a chance to get the word out to you all ahead of time about some of our upcoming changes.

First of all: Class Pricing

We feel that the cubit cost for a new class is too low. But we also like the cost where it is right now since we think it lets players unlock and try a good number of classes without too high a cost burden. As a result we're going to start off the cubit price of classes higher when we launch them and bring down the cost as we release subsequent classes. We wanted to give you guys a heads up on this now so you can save your cubits if you're interested in picking up the next class (Ice Mage! Snare and kite for days!) for cubits. Our new launch cubit price will be 8000, which will reduce once on the release of the next class and a final time to 5000 on the release of second following class.

Secondly, event boxes. We want the drop rate of event boxes such that you feel you can log on, play, and have a reasonably good chance of getting everything that comes from the event. As a result we're going to be significantly increasing the drop rate of the Snowfest Mystery Box as compared to the Turkeytopia one. U5 shadow arenas will be guaranteed to drop a box and we'll be bumping up all other drop rates as well (including significantly bumping up the adventure world rate). We'll probably add a bit more 'filler' so we aren't flooding everyone's inventory with a ton of recipes (and recipe deconing is still in the works). These will still be on the store in case you really want to get a bunch of extras for later, but we also wanted to make sure people weren't burning out trying to grind through SAs during every event.

Finally, the store! We want to add more stuff for people who support the game as well as more options to unlock for cubits for our hardcore players. So what's on the way?

* Eyes and Tentacles for credits
* An item which unlocks a random non-shadow adventuring style you don't already have for cubits or credits
* Flask unlocks (like classes, non-tradable) for cubits or credits. These flasks have special effects which trigger when you use your flask, in addition to healing you like they do now. You'll be able to swap them like any equipment slot to fit your play style.
