Here is the list of things that I think we'll place live in a few hours.
Think?
Yes I am still not sure about one or two things


Abort PvE for DG PvP
General Idea and purpose: Reduce downtime when waiting for a DG fight and hopefully increase the number of players that use the DG
Function: A player will stay in the Duelling Grounds Queue when entering PvE. Upon being matched each player will be asked to accept or decline (still anonymous) and if both accept the PvE will be aborted and PvP initiated. The player aborting PvE will not see combat resolution but that will instead be handled automatically. The chat icon of the player will not be updated before loading screen.


Alternative PvP modes
General Idea and purpose: Make PvP a little more diverse.
Function: Example: More Auras and also a few of Ghunan's deadly Living Armors will appear in various DG Maps.
Please note that for Boss gains it's last hit that counts.


Changes relating to CV Quests

Better listings of what is collected

Improved Gathering (see below)

Vastly Improved Beast Hunting (see below)

Added specific drops in PvP (DG Only, see below)

New Ladder for CV Quests

New Winning Ladder (based on Gnosis and CV Quests)

Gathering changes

Improved over all, especially early era

Max gatherers used is based on both an output and techs

Beast Hunting changes

Improved over all, especially early era

Now also yields Soul shards

The level you hunt on is decided by PvE level and Workers in the building. This means you can effectively decide approximately what nightmares to hunt

Crafting Changes

You don't need to build any buildings to tech the next crafting tech (was confusing)

Your max skill level is decided by tech AND number of workers in your building

Scrolls and Orbs now require equal amounts of their ingredients with a lower max

DG Drops

Both winners and losers in DG will have a chance to find DS ingredients for Orbs and Scrolls thus enabling you to farm these ingredients by activity and not just gathering or luck in PvE

PvP balance changes

Upkeep costs are increased but each point has their own upkeep

This will greatly change PvP and importance of Tactical locations. The impact this has on PvP may very well be great and the balance of this may need tweaking after its placed live

Invite a Friend function and progression bonus May be delayed

Each player will get a number of invites to send out each era

Each player will get a small Tribute and Premium days surprise once a certain progression point is reached

A player will get a small Tribute and Premium days surprise once an invited friend reaches that progression point

Abuse of the tribute/premium days rewards will of course lead to bans and possibly deletions and if it ends up being abused too much we will remove them as a whole.

Some additional content

New DG Map with variations

New Boss on some DG Maps

Other things:

Welfare traits to increase Stockpile

CV Vault Log

CV Vault Tabs

CV Vault & Antechamber dissolve improvements

Proper costs on the first 3 precautions

DL Skills Dream of Agony and Ancient Wounds got a 50% range increase

Max Bonus Missions is lowered from 25/40 to 20/30 as they were intended to be a bonus and not something that can be used in all missions

Bonus missions generation time is increased accordingly

Personal Battle bonus will affect various research speed

New Awakening mission

All players will have to do the tutorial missions this era. This is so that old players will be able to help new players

Some of these changes were already placed live late era 5

We are now building the final client. Two major bugs are still unresolved but we have decided to launch era 6 anyway.

***EDITED***

When aborting PvE for PvP
1) your camera angle will be locked as for some reason the middle mouse button stops to function, so does the ctrl arrow function
2) No gains from the PvE fight you abort for PvP
*** EDIT AGAIN*** Daniel worked some magic and those gains should now work

What about CTRL+Cursor keys?

No, they don't work either

Edited top thread for bug update

Let us know when we can start downloading! =)
