Prominence II: Hasturian Era

v4.0.1 - The Kingdom of Vaaz

An overall hefty patch fixing lots of bugs found on v4.0.0, along with QoL changes.

Important changes

• Fixed various NPCs not having trades in Vaaz.
• Mythic bosses have been extremely nerfed to make them easier for non-minmaxed players.
• Simply Swords now uses Spell Engine spells, making them now work with spellbooks.
• Fixed "tripped and fell" death on mythic challenges
• Fixed progression issues in the campaign, mainly happening on multiplayer
• Added tooltips to many items that are usually not understood by players
• Your keybinds will be reset!

Bug Fixes

• Fixed custom quest progress being wiped when dying, which could brick the tutorial and other custom quests
• Fixed the wait for Mirgaff during "The Secret Ingredient" restarting if you left to the Overworld or relogged, the timer now keeps counting wherever you are
• Players that got locked out of the tutorial by the above bug can now run it again
• Fixed the Gu'mas encounter losing track of the arena and boss if you died to him
• Fixed the Flameborn's Stone forgetting your return position if you died in Vaaz, dumping you at world spawn instead
• Fixed Mythic Challenges being accessible by non hasturian era players
• Fixed fake level up messages spamming when killing mobs while at a campaign level limit, you now get a message explaining why you aren't gaining XP instead
• Fixed being unable to walk backwards while attacking even with Feet Control
• Fixed the Flameborn's Call spell icon showing an outdated version of the stone instead of its current look
• Fixed dupe using carryon
• Fixed bard fate giving the old bard passive still
• Fixed the corruption tooltip in inventory saying the eyes spawn in combat, after 999 years

Quest Changes

• "A Worrying Reunion" and "S'kellak's Reward" now trigger when using the Flameborn's Stone from any dimension, not just the Overworld
• The return objective of "A Worrying Reunion" now completes wherever you came back from instead of hanging if you didn't come from the Overworld
• Fixed boss quests using advancements instead of kill tasks which made quests not complete for party members

Performance Changes

• Heavily optimized server ticking by patching some mods

Other Changes

• Forge Guard recipe in the primordial forge now requires a Blazing Magister armor piece instead of Gleaming Magister.
• Talent XP from Warden now gives heavily reduced XP so it can't be farmed for easy levels
• Players teleporting into a Vaaz era they shouldn't be in yet are now sent back to the era they belong in
• Derelict's spiders and the cultists now only spawn around players during Hasturian Era
• New community translation packs now enable themselves automatically if you already have that language's translation folder enabled in the resource packs menu
• The XP bar in the Talent Tree menu got a fresh look, level displayed is now the player level, the bar now shows your actual level progress, and the tooltip now tells you your talent points and when the next one is obtained. While at a campaign level limit the indicator turns red so it's clear why you aren't leveling (plus a message sent in the chat to remiind players)
• Artifact tree screens got a matching cleanup: headers now say "Artifact Upgrades" and "Artifact Upgrade Points left", and the bar tooltip shows your Artifact Level (out of 7) and the Artifact Power needed for the next upgrade. The points counter on talent and artifact screens is now yellow and the menu titles pop more with an outline
• The developer badge now shows before the name instead of after it in chat
• Simply Swords unique weapon abilities are now real spells! Right click triggers them exactly like before (hold abilities charge like spells now), they show up in the spell hotbar with the weapon as the spell icon and a proper cooldown display, and your spellbook spells stay usable on the number keys while holding these weapons
• Disabled Levitation Shot & Spell Infinity,
• Lowered emberstorm's max haste from 11 to 5,
• Blacklisted both gu'mas and the alloy forge controllers from carry on
• Added special gift to those that had an illegal transmog ;)

Mods

• Updated Prominent, Bard (RPG Series Plus), Alm's Recipe Additions, Spell enchants for armor, Smart Tooltip Scroll, Essential, Create: Tesosterone, Cable Fixes for Prom, FTB X Emi Compat, Euphoria Patches

Prominence II: Hasturian Era

v4.0.0 - The Kingdom of Vaaz

"After a long wait, you shall now meet the Kingdom of Vaaz by yourself." - S'kellak, Creator of All Things

This update is the biggest update for Prominence II as of now, featuring changes that, we proudly can say, are nowhere to be seen in other modpacks. From a Capital City filled with NPCs that you can interact, trade, buy and sell with, to a voice acted dialogue system, fully new timed Myhic Challenges with tiered affixes, lots of new rewards, and A LOT more.

And the best part yet? This is just the beginning of a new era of Prominence.

Please backup your old worlds just in case. IMPORTANT: IF YOU USED NETHER CHESTED CHESTS, REMOVE YOUR ITEMS OFF THEM BEFORE UPDATING

I want to thank each one of you for waiting on this update, it's been tough to develop, but the wait was worth it.

Important Changes

• Vaaz, the first Capital City. Travel to the Kingdom of Vaaz at any point of the game. A capital city full of NPCs with various utilities to go from time to time, or just to rest after a long adventure. Watch it evolve across your gameplay, with new interactions and even structural changes happening through your campaign progression.
• New Class: The Monk. A new class, modified upon the Forcemaster mod by Fitchee, features soul-based skill books focused on monk gameplay.
• The Primordial Forge. A new forge used to create powerful endgame sets called Primordial Armors with unique set-based passives, with up to 136 passive combinations.
• Significant Performance Upgrades. From lower RAM usage, memory leak fixes, and higher FPS!
• Tutorial for new players. Upon joining a world, you will be greeted with a tutorial that teaches the basics and introduces you to S'kellak.
• The Hasturian Era. New Hasturian Era campaign content; 2 new chapters with new custom bosses, quests, world events, the Primordial Forge, and more!
• Mythic Challenges Reworked. Meet the completely overhauled Mythic Challenges, now timed, with instanced arenas, 22 randomized and tiered affixes, and more!
• Combat Improvements. Combat has been improved with new mechanics for it to feel more dynamic without losing its arcade touch. From punching using Better Combat, to a momentum gain when attacking.
• Voice Acted Dialogues. Get ready to hear S'kellak, Gu'mas, Dwarves and other character dialogues from quests and more! Only available in English at the moment. Subtitles can be translated
• Revamped Campaign. Revamped quests from Void's Invasion to now interact with Vaaz. Get ready to talk with S'kellak directly instead of just reading what happened out of the questbook!
• Live Content. Expect changing content, even without updating! Coming in the near future with things like weekly quests, weekly mythic boss rotations, seasonal events, and more.
• Menu Overhaul. Enjoy a completely new settings menu that seamlessly integrates with mods and our own custom content to easily configurate things.
• Quests Overhaul. Overhauled FTB Quests with integration of the new custom questing system, new UI with custom icons and backgrounds, a new look at the quest book, and more!
• Reworked Soulbound Mechanic. Other players will no longer be able to pick up your soulbound items, even avoiding them from chests! And they will no longer damage the player, instead they'll be returned to their owner, or inside their ender chest if offline.
• Removal of Rune Requirements. Abilities will no longer require runes to be casted, as it was seen as an unnecessary grind that specially confused beginners.
• New Stat: Magic Resistance. A new stat which can be found in the talent tree, that reduces magic damage received.
• Built-In Abilities on Weapons. Many weapons now have built-in abilities that vary on weapon type.
• New Menus. The main menu and other menus from the modpack have been completely overhauled with a handcrafted design to fit the modpack's style.
• Talent Tree Additions. New passive talents, reworked nodes and more!
• Music! Enjoy brand new vibes with in-game music, including bossfights and events!
• and a lot more.
