Update

So, beginning of next week kind of came and went without any update to the game. However, the first running version of the new mod system (which btw is renamed to Warcraft Generations due to massive changes) is now live.

Some of the changes (keep in mind that the mana values are subject to change):

Undead

• Vampiric aura is only activated (screenflashing) when actually gaining health.
• Suicide Bomber (Ultimate) requires 30 mana to go off.

Human

• Blink (Ultimate) requires 30 mana.
• The flash effect when using blink now has a longer hold time.

Orc

• ChainLightning (Ultimate) requires 30 mana.
• ChainLightning now travels from target to target for each step instead of from caster to all 3 targets.
• ChainLightning jumps are broken when someone with immunity is hit.
• New skill: Improved critical strike. Increases the chance of getting a critical strike.
• Critical grenades are rewritten and now have a higher damage radius based on damage inflicted.

Night Elf

• Entangle Roots (Ultimate) requires 30 mana.
• Targets that are hit by entangle roots are now totally stuck in place, unable to move or jump
• Entangle Roots can now activate on targets mid-air.
• New ability: Tranquility. When activated, heals all teammates within area of effect over time for 15 seconds. Requires 22-40 mana based on skill level to cast. Bind a key to "ability" to use.
  

Blood Mage

• Immolate (Ultimate) requires 30 mana.
• Siphon Mana now leeches 1-5 mana based on skill level from the target as well as money
• Siphon Mana requires 2-10 mana to cast based on skill level
• New skill: Improved siphon mana. Increases the chance to reduce mana cost of siphon mana to 0. 100% at max level.

Shadow Hunter

• Big Bad Voodoo (Ultimate) requires 30 mana.
• Big Bad Voodoo now gives 75% reduction to bullet damage when active (55% if the attacker has immunity). for 4 seconds. It makes you vulnrable to knife damage though.
• Hex and Unstable Concoction now cost 10 mana each time they go off.
• Serpent Wards now cost 15 mana to place.
• Serpent Wards placed by a player now stays if he dies and are respawned.

Warden

• Vengeance (Ultimate) requires 30 mana.
• Shadow Strike requires 10 mana.

Crypt Lord

• Locust Swarm (Ultimate) requires 30 mana.
• Orb of Annihilation, Carrion Beetles and Impale now costs 10 mana to cast.

There are alot of general changes to how the system works (which I should have written down on paper while doing them, but didn't).

Time to get started on the new skills and abilities.

New skills

Development on the new skills is moving forward at a steady pace. Hopefully it will be implemented sometime before the beginning of next week.

Oh, and why stay at level 13? New patch extends levels all the way up to 50 :)
