New
- The crest. The Britannia Reforged crest now stands on the game's entry screen, and it is the game's icon.
- Skills on P. Press P to open the skills window. The SKILLS button still works, and a tip says where it is the first time.
Changed
- Pinning Shot. Every shot that lands roots the foe for 2 seconds. With a wall, a tree or a rock behind them they are pinned for 3.5 seconds and struck half again.
- War Cry. Players caught in it flinch too, and it guards you and your allies within 8 tiles.
- Rallying Hurl. Hurl is now Rallying Hurl: the weapon comes back to your hand a second after the throw, and the foe it strikes is marked for 4 seconds: allies and companions deal 15% more to it.
- Grapple. Wrestling's mastery move, Disarm, is now Grapple: a hold of a second and a half in which neither of you moves, then a throw of two tiles.
- Shield Charge and Shoulder Bash. Both pay off on open ground now; a wall or a tree behind the foe adds a stun.
- Whirlwind, Flurry, Chain Hook. Whirlwind staggers players briefly. Flurry swings three times as fast (from four). Chain Hook breaks a spell or a bow draw.
- Loot, closer to old UO. About 2 in 100 weak creatures carry magic, about 20 in 100 orcs and trolls, about 70 in 100 liches and their like. Mini-bosses drop one or two pieces of gear, bosses two or three. The top tiers stay rare.
- The starting spellbook. It is blessed and lives in your backpack: double-click it to open your books.
Fixed
- Signature moves on the bar. You told us Older characters had lost moves such as Heroic Leap from their bar. They are back.
- Dying with ore and fish. You told us Ore, ingots, logs, hides and food stayed on the ghost. Now everything that is not blessed goes to the corpse, and Loot All brings it back.
