Chapter I - New calculation
for Initiative

In order to reduce the advantage enjoyed by certain classes under the old calculation system, which was based on elementary characteristics bonuses, we've decided to change the method of calculation.

Now, only two major factors are taken into account: Health Points and Initiative bonuses from equipment and consumable items.

But that's not all: your character's Initiative is no longer fixed!

Your character's basic Initiative is calculated according to Health Points: 4 Health Points = 1 Initiative point (except for Sacriers for who 8 Health Points = 1 Initiave point). To this figure, we add bonuses given by thhe character's equipment and we have the maximum. initiative.

This figure is affected in turn by the percentage of HP your character has left. . The more warriors are injured in combat, the less initiative they will have and vice versa.

Formula:
Initiative = (Total HP/4 + Initiative Bonus) * (HP remaining/Total HP)
Initiative Sacrier = (Total HP/8 + Initiative Bonus) * (HP remaining/Total HP)

Chapter II - HP gained per level

Before 1.27, all characters gained 10 extra HP per level above level 100.
This gain will no longer exist and will be replaced by an increase in the life of characters of 5 points per level from level 1! .

This change will go some way towards reducing the power gap between characters above and below level 100, and will also make PvP combat far more playable for low-level characters. We found that fights are often cut very short due to players having powerful spells and little vitality.

Chapter III - Recuperation
of HP
and passive energy

We have made the recuperation of HP and energy points a lot quicker in order to minimise down time between fights and thereby make the game more accessible to beginner or casual players.
Here are the changes we've put in place:


- Characters will now recuperate 1 energy point. per minute of disconnection, wherever they happen to be at the time.
- Characters will now recuperate 2 energy points. per minute of disconnection if they disconnect in taverns, class temples or houses.
- When sitting, characters will now recuperate 60 HP. per minute, no matter what their level is.
- Even when not sitting, characters will now recuperate 30 HP. per minute.

And don't panic, all you Bakers, Alchemists, Hunters and Fishmongers! These changes won't ruin your business - eating consumable items will still be far quicker than any other way of recuperating energy - and still just as useful for sustained combat.

Chapter IV - New tackle system

The percentage chance of successfully tackling an adversary will be calculated with more emphasis on a player's investment in Agility for all classes and all character builds, even if not focused on Air.

While the old system would automatically accord a tackle in the case where there was a difference of 100 or more in two players' Agility, the new approach will give importance to every degree of investment in Agility.

The new formula is centred on a 50/50 chance of tackling when both players have equal Agility. The greater the difference between the two levels of Agility, the more difficult Tackling will become for the weaker player, and vice versa.

Formula:
%Dodge = 300*((Agi + 25)/(Agi + Agi Enemy + 50)-100

Chapter V - Quests and alignment

Additions to the alignment quests are one of the things players have really been looking forward to, so we decided not to make you wait any longer. In order to not take it all on at once, we've broken up the quests into several bundles.
This solution will allow us to conceive quests of very high quality but without making you wait any longer.

DOFUS version 1.27 will bring alignment quests for levels between 40 and 50, as well as an additional Order quest which will open up a second rank in Orders and the alignment rewards that accompany them. The first level alignment rewards have been completely revised also. The concept of bonuses in combat has been abandoned to make way for new features for PvP confrontations out of combat (the advantages brought to players by the old system were too great).

Here are the different ways to receive alignment rewards in 1.27:

Order of the Valiant Heart/Order of the Bleeding Heart

• Extra loss of energy for beaten enemies: 200 points
• Use of level 1 aggression potions (1 aggression cell)

• Extra loss of energy for beaten enemies: 400 points
• Use of level 2 aggression potions (2 aggression cells)

Order of the Salutary Spirit/Order of the Unsound Mind

• Use of resurrection potions.

• Use of liberation potions.

Order of the Sharp Eye/Order of the Putrid Eye

• Use of itemouflage potions.

• Use of immobile itemouflage potions.

Aggression potions allow players to automatically aggress enemies who come within range. As they progress through their order's ranks they will be able to use stronger and stronger aggression potions which serve to increase the area of their "automatic zone of aggression."

Resurrection potions have the same function as before - they return life to a player who has been transformed into a tomb or a phantom after being defeated.

Liberation potions allow players to force a warrior's soul out of a tomb. The soul in question will be automatically sent to a grave yard in the form of a ghost. These potions can be used to prevent an enemy priest from resurrecting dead players from his side after a defeat.

Itemouflage potions transform the character that uses them into an element of the background. As soon as the player moves, they will take on their normal appearance.

Immobile itemouflage potions render the character that uses them invisible (unlike the invisibility scrolls that currently exist, we will only see their footsteps.) As with the ordinary itemouflage potions, any movement will end the effects of the potion.

[TODO]Les potions de libération permettent à un personnage de forcer la libération de l'âme de la tombe d'un autre personnage. Celui-ci sera automatiquement envoyé dans un cimetière sous forme de fantôme. Ces potions permettent d'empêcher un prêtre ennemi de ressusciter les morts de son camp directement sur le lieu de leur défaite.

Les potions d'objouflage transforment le personnage qui les utilise en objet de décor. Le camouflage reste actif tant que le personnage est immobile.
Dès qu'il se déplace, il retrouve son apparence normale.

Les potions de camouflage immobile rendent le personnage qui les utilise invisible (à l'instar des parchemins d'invisibilité actuels, on ne voit plus que la marque de leurs pieds). Comme pour les potions d'objouflage, le moindre mouvement met fin à l'invisibilité.
