Legends of M'ystifa 2
=====================

New In Version 1.0.4 (Beta 4)
=============================

-- The heal-related spells have been modified to better select targets that need a heal. If you have a creature targeted and a member of your party needs a heal, the party member will get the heal.

-- The patcher is complete! All future release will happen automatically when you start LOM2. Save files will be upgraded automatically which means no more starting over when new builds are released!

New In Version 1.0.3 (Beta 3)
=============================

-- Tweaked the buy/sell rates at all shops across M'ystifa. Villages are the best place to buy/sell items. More remote locations have less favorable rates.

-- Added many more unique items.

-- Tweaked the treasure generation system to ensure higher level creatures drop loot more in line with the party level.

-- Fixed a spell that Muck-Toes cast that would cause a game crash.

-- Added new tips for easy Cures.

-- Heal-type spells were causing a game crash if cast in certain ways. This has been fixed.

-- When the Long Sword weapon skill reached 10 the game would crash. This has been fixed.

-- Sometimes the audio could act strangely when a piece of music looped around to play again. This has been fixed.

-- Dozens of typos and grammer errors have been fixed.

-- Alternate colors have been added throughout the user interface to make data easier to read.

-- The shops in Surevale Village now sell gear up to level 150.

-- A special gem used to identify all of the items in the party inventory was not working correctly. This has been fixed.

-- A few unique items required skills to equip that were mis-spelled. They have been fixed.

-- The Grand Ring Of Health has a clicky that didn't work. It has been changed to Cure 3.

-- Added new debugging features to make testing various areas of the game world much easier.

-- Selling an item to a Mystic that would cause the party to go over 999,999 GP (the max you can carry) now goes automatically into the bank.

-- The Phoenix Feather Inn in Surevale Village caused a game crash whenever the party entered. This has been fixed.

-- Some of the green and red effect icons on some screens did not work when clicked. They have been fixed.

-- Changing targets in the Spells screen when the party had one pet could cause the game to throw a hissy fit. This has been fixed.

-- You can now double-click in the Nearby of Note lists to interact with an NPC or object.

-- You can now use your arrow keys to change targets instead of clicking in the user interface. Remember to hold SHIFT when you arrow on the main screen.

-- You can now hit the SPACEBAR to close the automap.

-- You can now use keyboard shortcuts from the main screen to access other windows. My favorite combo is 'A' to quickly open the automap and a SPACEBAR to quickly close it when you are done looking.

-- A versioning bug could cause the game to crash on startup. This has been fixed.

-- A number of new tips were added to the help system.

-- Modified the screen that pops up when you move between areas to make the text fit a little better.

-- The Undead Menace quest will now update properly when you pick up his skull.

-- Dodge, Parry and Evade skills fire 25% more often now in combat.

-- Some of the lower level areas of the game world let you move through mountains - not intended. This has been fixed.

-- A handful of quest rewards were balanced a little better.

-- Some in-game maps showed secret areas on them even before you found them. Doh! This has been fixed.

-- Damage spells cast by creatures have been upped by 20% for better balance.

-- The Recall line of spells for Portal Magic were modified and tweaked. A few new spells were added to make this skill much more valuable. For example, there is now a Recall Dungeon spell that magically transports the party to the last dungeon it visited. This will make travel around the immense game world much easier.

-- The loot system was tweaked so that magical and rare items are even better than before.

-- Uncommon creatures can now be found slightly more often than before.
