==== New weapons ====In progress...
WIP= April 10th 2024 ='''Version 6.9.3.2''' - Helmet hotfix
==== Other changes ====* [[Effects]]: Removal of the Ballistic protective trait, now considered obsolete. Due to it being a carryover from eras of the game where headshot Pain multipliers used to be much higher than the current 1.5x (3x or higher), the effect remained unchanged and accidentally overbuffed the protective capabilities of helmets with the trait.* [[Clothing and armor]]: All clothes that had the Ballistic protective trait lose it.

Changes to [[Mining]] have been introduced to simplify it and make it easier.
* Mining now works according to a hit point system instead of a chance-to-succeed system. The objective is to make mining more of a straight trade of resources and favor strength-based builds (which would already benefit from using tools like pick-axes and mattocks as weapons).
* Each mining target (ore bundle, obstructions) now has a set number of hit points.
* A pick or drill strike reduces the target's hit points; the check is based on the skill level (1d20 to 1d60, in increments of 10), multiplied by Strength.
* Explosives damage equal to their limb damage multiplied by a number that depends on skill level (x1 to x3, in 0.5 increments).
* The length of a Mining Level has been shortened from 15 + Mine level to 8 + Mine level
* It is now possible to save your progress exploring a mine and leave without having to start over from Level -1.
* New items at the mining supplies store now allow you to reset your progress in a mine and start over.

All four receive 4 groups each* If the arrowhead is IMP (Improvised): Hunting, Combat, Short, Misses and Super-shortcritical misses result in breakage. See each individual caliber page for damage multipliersOnly hits are reusable.
Changes to [[Civilized Areas]]:
* [[Towns]]: There is no longer any distinction between a "shop hub" with few emplacements and a "mall" with many. All town shop hubs now possess 5 streets and 10 shop emplacements; 8 [[individual shop|individual shops]], a [[restaurant]] and a [[bar]].
* Certain types of [[individual shop]] may be closed on certain [[Calendar#Days|days of the week]]; these are known as inventory days, during which the shop is being restocked.
Changes to [[Crafting]]:= September 18th 2022 =* [[Specs docs]]: Docs no longer unlock Specs docs-only items for sale, requiring the tracking of a list of documents brought for each character'''Version 6. The Proving Grounds engineer now requires player characters to trade in the correct documents for 5.4''each'' item- Guns, Blood, alongside money (and in some cases, specific items). In exchange, these items cost significantly less than they used to - all prices were slashed to 1/4 their previous values.Drugs; A balancing update
Changes to ==== [[LockpickingMaze Customs]]:====* As part of the ongoing work The [[Heckler & Koch MP5K]] is added to update all locations, FL/HS locks are now deprecatedthe MP5 Customs family. The only lock types in * Customs: New modifications for the game are now mechanical locks and electronic MP5:** Barrel length: Short MP5K barrel (keycard) locks4.5-inch barrel) - Muzzle: N/A, Underbarrel: Integrated foregrip - Cost: 150 P$** The Short MP5K barrel is incompatible with the Surefire 628 and Quad rails
==== [[Limb health]] ====

= October 15th 2020 === [[Meds]] ===='''Version 5.56''' - The Unintuitively Named Update * First aid kit (that has nothing FAK): Weight reduced to do with 5.56mm firearms1 (previously 2)* Epoetin-alfa: Effect modified to Blood +0.2/turn, -30 ntri/turn, +0.4% Fatigue/turn for 20 turns
Changes to ==== [[WeaponsAddictions]]:====* New concept introducedaddiction mechanics simplifying the previous system: '''Traditional inner tubes'''. Refers to certain firearms - specificallyAs before, lever-action rifles - that do not possess a side-loading gate, and are instead reloaded by using a traditionalsubstance comes with a percentage chance of becoming addicted. However, Henry-style inner tubethe withdrawal tiers now function differently and more simply.** Reloading a traditional tube rifle Now, every use of an addictive substance is done the same way as a single-action revolver; a full reloading action is required chance to remove increase the tubecurrent addiction level by 1, then from the normal loose rounds rule applies minimum of 0 (up no effects) to the maximum of 3 rounds per turn). The tube is replaced automatically * Instead of disabling corresponding withdrawal effects when an addictive substance's effects are active, withdrawal effects are now truly permanent and continue being active even if the character is done reloadinguses the corresponding substance. In other words, usage effects and withdrawal effects now stack.* The [[Winchester Model 270Hospital]] stats : Addiction removal is now tier based and depends on the current level. It now costs 250 P$ and 2 day periods of mandatory rest per level, up to 750 P$ and 6 day periods (1 full day) for treating a single Level 3 addiction.* Addiction effects: To account for the possibility of med effects and withdrawal effects being active simultaneously, the following withdrawal effects have been modified :** Nicotine withdrawal*** Level 1: Minimum Stress set to reflect that it is 15.0%** Alcohol withdrawal*** Level 1: Need a rifle with drink (level 1) applies to this character (see below), *** Level 2: Need a traditional inner tubedrink (level 2) applies to this character (see below), Agility -1*** Level 3: Need a drink (level 3) applies to this character (see below), Agility -2, IS tier +1, Hallucinations** Cannabis withdrawal*** Level 1: Mild munchies*** Level 2: Minimum Stress set to 15.0%, Mild munchies, Mild thirst*** Level 3: Minimum Stress set to 30.0%, Intense munchies, Mild thirst** Anabolic steroid withdrawal*** Level 1: Minimum Stress set to 30.0%*** Level 2: Minimum Stress set to 60.0%*** Level 3: Minimum Stress set to 90.0%, Rage** Sick hakutaku syndrome*** Level 1: IR +1*** Level 2: FT +1, IR +1*** Level 3: FT +1, IR +1, Hallucinations
==== [[Effects]] ====
* Alcohol affinity ([[Oni]] creature trait): Effect simplified. Instead of both halving Inebriation received and doubling the Stress relief effect of [[Effects#Stress|Need a drink]] to compensate, this trait now simply doubles the Stress relief effect but gives the normal amount of Inebriation.
* The "Need a drink" effect has been delineated into 4 variants; Level 0, Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3. In essence, the "Need a drink" effect progressively offers less and less Stress relief per Inebriation gained as your character's level of Alcohol addiction increases.

Changes to shops and services:= July 20th 2022 =* The style shop has been revamped completely and is now a custom clothing service.** Completely custom human/halfling clothing items and youkai outfits can be designed there. The basic principle is for the player to describe, in free-form, what the item is supposed to look like, then to purchase protection ratings, covered body parts, effects, and more in order to give the custom item a useful purpose. This service is intentionally ''very expensive''Version 6.* Dojos have been expanded, and now offer various machines and training programs designed to improve a character's natural statistics:** The stats that can be improved are '''Natural [[Pain Sensitivity]], Natural [[Strength]], Max [[Blood]], Max [[Limb health|Limb HP]], Natural [[Endurance]], and Natural [[Agility]]'''** Each training program has an XP counter5. Spending time (and effort) on a training nets XP, which can be spent to increase one natural stat, up to certain limits (some stats cannot be trained further once they reach a certain value, others have a maximum XP limit)** Training program XP is now tracked on inventory sheets.* The bank2's item vault service has been modified:** Item vaults are no longer free and unlimited. A player character must first purchase an item vault before it can be used; this costs [[File:Parallar symbol.png|10px]]'''1000''' and allows the player access to a 50-unit vault. This vault can be upgraded in 50-unit increments, up to the maximum size of 400 units; upgrading costs [[File:Parallar symbol.png|10px]]'''(size x 15)'''** Withdrawing items from a vault now costs [[File:Parallar symbol.png|10px]]'''500 + (weight of items withdrawn x 10)''', and it is not possible to withdraw more than 150 units of items at once.** Withdrawing items from a vault now requires waiting for 1d3 day periods (between 4 and 12 hours), as delivery time.** [[LBE]] items must be stored empty.

Changes to [[Creatures]]:= March 22nd 2022 =* The item lines of all relevant creatures now state if they produce delicacy meat, luxury meat, tainted meat, illegal meat, or if they produce no meat at all'''Version 6.** An exception was made for humans, halflings and youkai 5''' - their item lines do not display meat status, as it is assumed that the meat of all playable species is already known to be illegal.* All references to "Poisonous meat" have been changed to the correct term: [[Hunting#Tainted meat|Tainted meat]].Further Balance Updates

Changes to [[Recoil]]:===== New weight values =====Fruit* Recoil calculation and effects no longer rely on exact shot order0.25: Apricot, but now instead only needs total shots firedGrapes, significantly cutting down on the amount of time that needs to be spent counting and checking shots.Kumquat, Kiwifruit* The new Recoil system works as follows0.5: Every Recoil level has a limit of shots (the Accuracy Drop ThresholdApple, or ADT) that can be fired - if a character shoots over ADTPear, accuracy and aim wandering effects are applied to the entirety of the shot stringOrange, and not just the shots that go over ADT. A second level with even more severe penalties is applied if the amount of shots fired is equal to more than double the limit.Pomegranate, Banana*1: Watermelon wedge* As before, going over ADT will result in aim wandering (which sends shots to &bodyaim instead of the desired point of aim), however instead of being applied only starting from the shot that went over the limit, aim wandering applies to ALL shots if the total amount of shots fired goes over the limit.

* The ==== [[CoverMeds]] system has received multiple modifications aimed at simplifying their purpose and function:====** Cover no longer have pass-through thresholds or corresponding Pain modifiers First Aid Kits (like [[trauma plates]]FAKs).** Deleted the "full protection" trait (which protected against bouncing explosives - of which there is [[VOG-25P|only one type]] currently)** Modified the list of cover types (changed health and AC values on many of them)* [[Explosives]]:** Simplified the damage calculation method for pressure mines: full limb damage to legs/feet, 0.25x limb damage to everything else. (Previously, it also dealt 0.5x damage to torso/hips)** Simplified injury calculation from explosive weapons. It is now dependent on base explosive damage; specifically, equal to '''BED / 4 rounded down''' (or in other words, for every 4 full points of limb damage dealt by an explosive weapon, 1 wound is also dealt).* [[Chlorine bomb]] and Chlorine gas clouds:** Removed the 25% chance to lose eyes per turn spent in a chlorine gas cloud.

All items inducing Nausea are now given a turn duration, and no longer induces IR +1.** '''Anti-Oni Syndrome''' now causes creatures under this effect to get [[Pain]] instead of [[Venom]] from drinking alcohol (1% Pain per 0.1 Inebriation). The Pain gained this way is '''fixed''' and ignores [[Pain Sensitivity]] entirely.** '''Decompensation''' and '''Self-deterioration''' were simplified, introducing a system of points gained at Daily Reset. If these points reach a particular threshold, instant death occurs.** Various effects were simplified or scrapped entirely.manage:
* FAKs and FSKs no longer serve as mini containers capable of carrying extra meds (IBs, paracetamol, HAP, epinephrine, etc.)
* Instead, FAKs and FSKs are now multiple-use. FAKs have 3 uses before depletion, FSKs have 5 uses (1d3 and 1d5 on randomly found ones)
* No changes to pricing or limb healing effects, all 3 uses of an FAK can therefore heal up to 21 HP, and all 5 uses of an FSK, 60 HP.

New [[skills|skill]]:Shields (Skilled)** All metal ores have been completely scrapped and rebuilt from the ground up. All types of metal ores now contain a percentage of ONE useful metal or "quick cash" element, and are now based on more realistic types of minerals. ** The list of "[[SRT Officer]]: New Primary" mining elements (which can be exchanged for ingots) has been rewritten, and now includes (from least to most valuable)2 weapon: Zinc, Lead, Iron, Copper, Tungsten, Silver, Gold, Platinum[[Ballistic shield - Alpha]].** The list of "Secondary" mining elements New [[skills|skill]]: Shields (which can be exchanged for cashExpert) has been rewritten, and now includes (from least to most valuable): Coal, Sulfur, Nickel, Mercury, Magnesium, Tin, Cobalt, Aluminium, Molybdenum, Titanium, and Chromium.** There isn't a tertiary "garbage" category of ore materials anymore.** Object line nomenclature for all metal and gemstone ores has been redone for clarity.* Other changes[[Vampire]]:** Dimensions of [[Parallar|brass and electrumAI AWSM]] coins were modified slightly to account for the changesloadout replaced with [[AI AW]], two magazines, and 7.62x51mm NATO Standard FMJ ammo

* '''Buff to the [[gohei]] and [[shaku]]''': Each weapon now gains a Charge point when killing a creature it is designed to deal double damage to, and for every Charge point it holds, the weapon deals an additional LDV+1. If at least 1 Charge point is in the weapon, the user can use a special attack ("Terminating Seal" for the gohei, "Cleansing Fire" for the shaku) which will allow the weapon to temporarily deal quadruple (4x) damage instead of just double against the species it is designed to hurt, for one turn only. On the following turn, the weapon loses all of its Charge points.
* Introducing a new type of key item, the '''skeleton key'''; 10 different types exist, from Type 0 to Type 9. The purpose of a skeleton key is to open any mechanical lock, as long as the type matches the first digit of the lock's serial number (e.g. a Type 2 skeleton key will open any lock from 2000 to 2999).
** Skeleton keys break after one use.
** They can be sometimes found in '''&stuff'''.
** They can also be crafted; two new crafting blueprints, '''SkelKeyA''' and '''SkelKeyB''' were introduced. In a first for the game, these recipes also require a certain skill level in Lockpicking in order to use (respectively, Lv2 - Basic, and Lv3 - Skilled).
* Introducing a new type of toolkit, the '''hacking tool''', which is essentially an electronic lockpick. Hacking tools are disposable devices with electronic spoofing software; they can be used up to 10 times, then brick themselves.
** It replaces the HX-1337 series of hacking augmentations, which have been scrapped from the game.
** Modifications to the hacking mini-games were made to accomodate for the new hacking tool.
** The '''&loginwords''' command was renamed to '''&words''', and its dictionary of words was increased from 810 to 8738 words.
* '''Kasha buffs''': Kasha base stats have been improved (Base limb health: 43 -> 60, Max Blood 12 -> 17, Pain sensitivity 163% -> 117%), and their old "Savage" ability was removed, and replaced with two new abilities, '''Natural Hunter''' and '''Savage Mode''':
** '''Natural Hunter''': As a passive ability, kasha claws are tough enough to allow for Butchering without the need for a suitable tool. All Kasha also start with Lv2 - Basic in Hunting.
** '''Savage Mode''': Kasha can, at will, give themselves +10.0% Stress in exchange for +40% Strength and -40% Pain Sensitivity for 20 turns. If Savage Mode is already active, Kasha can activate the ability again to extend the remaining duration by another 20 turns.
* '''Nerfing [[Ammunition#Pistol and rifle caliber projectiles|UHS ammunition]]''': It now deals 1.3x damage (Pain and LD) instead of 1.4x.
* '''Changes to MAIM''': Rie "Fireball" Kirari, being a kasha, now benefits from the new abilities introduced above. Her natural Pain Sensitivity was also lowered to 87%.
* '''Changes to healing''': First Aid Kits and Field Surgery Kits now instantly heal HP instead of HP over time (Light: +7 HP; Strong: +12 HP). The bonuses introduced by the Healing skill now give additional HP to all of the limbs not targeted by the FAK/FSK - +1 HP at Basic, +2 HP at Skilled, +3 HP at Expert, and +4 HP at Master. The bonus HP is free and costs no Nutrition or Fatigue.

== General changes ==* Blood no longer naturally heals at a rate of 0.1 per turn, making Pain the only statistic that naturally regenerates every turn no matter what. If you have no wounds, your current Blood level stabilizes at its current level.* Natural blood regeneration is now tied to the daily reset; on top of the nutrition/hydration that is normally lost at midnight ingame, your body will attempt to regenerate 1 unit of Blood on its own every day (as long as there are no open wounds at that moment). Upon hitting the daily resert, you will lose 150 ntri and 2% Fatigue, and regenerate 1 Blood instantly. This is intended to incite finding BTKs or pay for a medic. If neither is possible, the tried and tested "buy food and let it heal over a few days" also works, however it may take several in-game days for large amounts of lost Blood. * Blood Transfusion Kits now carry 3 units of Blood each instead of 5. Full BTKs now cost 350 P$ instead of 550 P$.* A new type of medical item ('''Epoetin-alfa''', syringe) can be consumed to start a 20-turn effect resembling the old natural regeneration effectNew [[crafting]] items: +0.1 Blood per turn, in exchange for -15 ntri and +0.2% Fatigue per turn. In total, the item would help your body regenerate up to 2 Blood but burn up to 300 ntri and 4% Fatigue. Syringes of Epoetin-alfa cost 100 P$, making them the cheapest syringe-type medical item.* Changes to '''Augmentations'''[[Blueprints]]: The Guardian LSS no longer increases the amount of Blood regenerated per turnSkull blueprint, since that mechanic is gone. Instead, each level increases the amount of Blood regenerated every day by 1, at no extra cost of nutrition and fatigue. Level 1 therefore lets you heal 2 Blood per day, Level 2 is 3 Blood per day, and Level 3 is 4 Blood per day, all for the same cost of 150 ntri/2% Fatigue per turn, making it viable to heal large amounts of Blood loss over the space of a few days.Fremen blueprint* Changes to '''Clothing protections'''[[Crafting items#Ingredient items|Ingredient items]]: Buffs to protection ratings. ''-Resistant'' will prevent injuries on hits dealing up to 4 limb damage (previously, 2), and ''-PROOF'' will prevent injuries on hits dealing up to 8 limb damage (previously, 4).Preserved skull
= February 20th 2019 Prior versions ='''Version 5.2''' - Extra game modes update
This update introduces two new methods of playing MazeWorld: '''Survival''' and '''Freeform''', and retroactively renames the 'main' mode into '''Contestant Story''' or just '''Story'''. These new game modes, so to speak, aim at providing more flavors for players and future GMs to enjoy. == General changes ==* The [https:[Changelog//docs.google.com/forms/d/1fLN_YUoVStGt0ElBtVpyMg1bIvn1Eqxc3BuDJrdIkBk/ character sign-up form2021]] has been updated to account for the changes below. == Survival ==In this new mode, players adopt the role of a Survivor, whose only objective is to kill anyone that looks at them wrong, and survive as long as possible. Survival is mainly inspired from old-school MazeWorld, it is essentially an endless Uncivilized Area run, just as it once was. When playing Survival, players have the option to choose between two modes: '''Tier X''' (The game ends after completing X Challenges) or '''Endless''' (The game only ends with the Survivor's death, or at player request). The main differences introduced by Survival are as follows:* No towns or intersections as players know them - Survival is an endless Uncivilized Area streak, equivalent to a Deep route. Explorable areas can even still be found and completed for their rewards!* Nutrition and Hydration Reset occur every time the Survivor reaches a Trading Post (TP reset). In turn, the reset is much lower than normal. The base values are 420 ntri and 140 wtr (0.2x a normal daily reset).* Date and time are not tracked.* No Faction Reputation and no Renown to worry about.* All skills are unlocked: Survivors start with Unskilled in all non-combat skills (unless skill levels were purchased at Startgame)* The Survivor starts with a MAIM account, with all generic and regular named mercenaries available (Special mercs are not available as they're tied to the story)2021 updates.* Every 50 rooms, the Survivor will find a Trading Post, which is nothing more than an intersection with a fixed amount of shops and services (see below for details)* On the room following every second Trading Post (101, 201, 301...), the Survivor will find a Challenge. Completing the Challenge is necessary to progress forwards!* If playing on Tier X, X corresponds to the amount of Challenges the player must complete in order to reach the end.** There is no upper limit on the Tier number (and subsequent amount of Challenges), though in order to keep games from being unreasonably long, the author's recommendation is to keep it between 1 and 10, and any longer games should be Endless instead.** The author personally recommends first-time players and GMs to try Survival Tier 4, for a 401-room adventure.* Mercenaries function differently[[Changelog/2020]]:** The time-based hiring rates do not apply, and are instead replaced by a 50-room hiring rate (corresponds to the distance between Trading Posts). That special rate is equivalent to 2x the 24-hour rate.** Upon being hired, a mercenary will immediately join the Contestant with no waiting time.** Merc deaths do not need to be reported.** All mercenaries show up with their gear. There are no gear costs - their equipment is essentially free2020 updates.** All special parameters are ignored. The only objective in Survival is to survive. Each Survivor will be entered into a leaderboard for creatures killed and KV score obtained at the end of their run, as well as rooms visited in Survival Endless. == Freeform play ==This is essentially the normal game, but without main story quests or sidequests and with certain shops, services and other conveniences immediately available. This mode aims at a more relaxed experience, without the pressure of the pre-made main story, as well as offering an opportunity to design your own stories and plots. The main differences introduced by Freeform are as follows:* All skills are unlocked. Freeform characters start with Unskilled in all non-combat skills, as well as a MAIM account.* The Freeform character starts with a MAIM account, with all generic and regular named mercenaries available (Special mercs are not available as they're tied to the story).** Reputation and Renown requirements from certain mercenaries are disabled.* Roazon is collapsed, exactly as it would after the Contestant completes Sidequest S3-2.* All repeatable activities are available: Trading Missions, Mercenary Contracts, Mining, and Bounty Hunter* Several shops and services that are normally only obtained as sidequest rewards are available from the start:** The Power Armor Shop (Ferland Sector) is available and fully upgraded.** The Advanced Handloading Services are available at the Ellen Sector factory.** The Powder & Primer Shop is available at the Littleton factory.* Renown and Reputation are disabled, to allow GMs more flexibility.** It is recommended to replace any rewards in Renown[[Changelog/Rep with money, where applicable and where it would make sense. (e.g. Vigilante work) = January 17th 2019 ='''Version 5.1''' - KISS Update (Keep It Simple, Stupid!) This update aims at simplifying several game mechanics deemed too granular or generally not fun enough. == Simplified nutrition and hydration ==* Nutrition and hydration no longer decay at a rate of 1 per turn. Instead, these stats are slashed by a set amount at a fixed rate and frequency, to symbolize meeting daily recommended needs; these are called the '''Nutrition Reset''' and '''Hydration Reset''', respectively.** Nutrition is reset every day at midnight. The reset will reduce the current Nutrition by an amount equivalent to (meat worth x 30). For a human, that amount is 2100 ntri. ** Hydration is reset every day at midnight. The reset will reduce the current Hydration by an amount equivalent to (meat worth x 10). For a human, that amount is 700 wtr.* Nutrition and hydration each have new value ranges and corresponding effects; they are generally simpler and more clear-cut effects.** Nutrition going too high will increase minimum Fatigue, and eventually reduce Agility.** Nutrition going too low will decrease Strength, and eventually disable the ability to heal Pain, Blood or Limb Damage (due to the body not having the "fuel" to do so).** Hydration going too low will decrease Strength, then Accuracy, then cause Hallucinations, until eventually causing death. == Simplified fatigue ==* Fatigue no longer gradually increases every turn (what was called "natural fatigue"). Effects that can increase Fatigue bit by bit every turn still do exist.* The "Energized" tier is deleted.* Reaching an amount of Fatigue equal to 2x Endurance will result in death.* All effects of high fatigue now decrease Agility, and eventually decrease accuracy and cause Hallucinations. == Simplified clothing and armor ==* Clothing and armor can no longer sustain damage, period. The only exceptions are:** Trauma plates - which still continue to work as they normally do** Powered armor - which require a condition meter to determine protection level. When wearing power armor, damage calculation is greatly simplified - 1 limb damage sustained = 1 armor condition lost.* Cutting clothes into rags (as long as they have the RagOK tag) now always succeeds and results in obtaining 1d4 Rags (at least 1 is now guaranteed). Multipliers (0.5x or 2x) affect the result of that 1d4, and it is always rounded up. == Simplified weapon maintenance ==* The Reliability/Max Cleanliness stat is scrapped.* Durability is renamed Max Condition, and all firearms' Max Condition values have been rewritten.* Critical failures have been completely revamped and simplified. Condition is now meant to be lost on a critical failure, and for each 2 rolled, the new command '''@critfail''' must be used.** @critfail contains 80 possible effects, half of which are simple condition loss effects (ranging from 100 to 2000). The other half are condition loss effects (ranging from 50 to 1000) with a weapon failure (failure to fire, eject, etc.) effect on top. If the relevant weapon is a melee weapon or does not have a corresponding weapon failure type, the condition loss effect is doubled instead. Changes to handloading:* Load level (hotness) of ammunition affects the severity of the Condition loss on a critical failure. -P/Cold: Condition loss x0.5. +P/Hot: Condition loss x2. +P+/Super: Condition loss x4.* Powder quality of ammunition also affects the severity of the Condition loss on a critical failure. Surplus: Condition loss x3. Premium: Condition loss x0.5.* These effects may stack. Round up any results.* If shooting ammunition of mixed hotness or powder quality in the same turn (''not recommended!''), the hottest and dirtiest ammunition fired that turn is used as a reference for ''all'' rounds fired that turn. Changes to weapon accessories:* Since Cleanliness no longer exists, silencers no longer apply a malus on the equipped firearm. Changes to crafting:* Gun Cleaning Kits: They are now used to restore a firearm's Condition, as long as it's 60% or higher. Gun Repair Kits can still be used at any Condition percentage. Changes to Maze Customs:* Improved barrels now have different effects.** 4150CS barrel: Max Condition x1.25.** 4150CS + Titanium Nitride (TiN) coating: Max Condition x1.5** 4150CS + Titanium Carbonitride (TiCN) coating: Max Condition x2** 4150CS + NP3 coating: Max Condition x1.25, Condition loss on critical failure x0.5** Rechambering a firearm with an improved barrel no longer causes the improved barrel to be replaced by a normal one (forcing the user to re-purchase the barrel improvements again). Making engineers slightly less evil!...** Maze Customs now also offers the possibility to return to a non-improved, stock barrel, for 100 P$. == Extras ==* New command: '''@asktsuchi'''. Ask a yes/no question and use that command. Results may vary. = November 27th 2018 ='''Version 5 update''' - The Finished State update == Quests ==* '''Story Arc #32019]]: The Human-Youkai War''' released! Features 33 quests, 1 sidequest, and 1 emergency quest.* '''Endgame content''' now available! The Contestant story may now come to an end as soon as all four Amulets are gathered == Content ==Abilities:* Several special abilities were renamed to '''techniques''', due to their similarity with martial arts techniques. Techniques are actions that can be performed instead of a regular combat action, and which, if the prerequisites are met, may allow their users to perform special moves that wouldn't otherwise be possible.* Introduction of several new combat techniques:** Techniques that are learned upon reaching '''Expert skill level''' with a corresponding combat skill:*** Firearm techniques: Failure Drill (DA revolver, Semi-auto pistol/rifle/shotgun), Fanning (SA revolver), Mad Minute (Bolt-action), Recoil Control Stance (Automatic pistol/rifle/shotgun), Rifleman Trick (Lever-action), Zero's Trick (Pump-action)*** Melee techniques: Any-Bash (One- and Two-handed clubs), Any-throw (Thrown weapons), Backlash (Whip/Lash weapons), Desperate Smash (Crude weapons), Double Cleave (Axes, One- and Two-handed swords), Stabbing Rush (Knives)** Techniques that can be '''purchased''': Lightning Reload (available for 3000 P$ at any shooting range) Maze Customs:* Customs:Minor - 1 new tactical conversion ('''Pecheneg Zenit'''), 4 new minor barrel configurations ('''SCAR-H STD, SCAR-L STD, SCAR-L LB, SG551-LB''') Startgame:* '''Tsuchinoko''' update: Rarity is finally weaved into the drop rates for the weapon commands (@wpn @wpnc1 @wpnc2 @wpnc3 @wpnc4 @wpnc5L @wpnc5S @wpncHG). The original commands (with equal chances for each weapon) have been given the '''-e''' suffix (@wpn-e, @wpnc1-e, etc...); '''e''' stands for "'''equivalent'''" (in the sense that each weapon has the same chance to be rolled as any other).** Four new '''Tsuchinoko''' commands, '''@wpn-firearm''', '''@wpn-melee''', '''@wpn-firearm-e''' and '''@wpn-melee-e'''. The first two respectively roll only firearms (Classes 1-4) and melee weapons (Classes 5L, 5S, HG), and the last two are the equivalent chances versions of the first two.* Kitsune and alligator halflings are now playable (discontinuation of the RePoints system)* Equipment points to allocate have been increased from 5 to 10.* Unspent equipment points are now worth 200 P$ each instead of 150 P$, and are now paid entirely in copper coins.* Starting weapons are no longer dependent on the combat skills selected at the start. All of the packages are now available, and extra packages now only cost 2 equipment points instead of 32019 updates.* Difficulty modes are no longer tied to RePoints. The starting amount of lives (HardOlder updates: 1, Easy: 3, Messiah: Infinite) is fixed. == Meta ==* GM side changes: Planned migration away from Excel and fully towards Google Docs - from now on GMs and players should be using the same files; any changes and updates should be done through direct edition of the player's GDocs sheet. Any information that is hidden from the player should be kept on a separate, GM-only file (preferably also on GDocs) which lists only the hidden information and nothing else.* Migration to the new wiki will begin shortly after the release of this update.* The RePoints system is discontinued (please check the corresponding Patreon post for more information). = Prior versions =You can find all of the previous updates up to version 5 on the [http://old.mazeworld.net/wiki/Guide:Changelog old wiki's changelog].
