Re: Game Updates
Hello Maniacs.
I am a new development GM who is working on the server updates. I am a C++ coder and I am happy to join the team to carry out development tasks. The current update includes 80% code cleanups which has been done over the years to make it easier to manage and launch new updates. I will not be much active in the game but I will keep checking forums and keep fixing bugs as I encounter them in the test servers and also the forums whoever make posts to report bugs.
Also, I am not officially employed at A3 Mania and I am available for hire for any a3 related works (mostly server side edits/updates). If you want to hire me on freelance basis, please send me a pm message so I can share my contact details.

Re: Game Updates
Character Stats Changes

The character stats are divided into 2 sections. The stats highlighted in Yellow are Primary Stats and the stats that are highlighted in Blue are Secondary Stats.
With the latest update, Primary Stats can only be acquired from Skill Points that you gain for each level up and Rebirth. This was done to ensure stats consistency across multiple characters for more balanced gameplay.
Items options (Grade 10 Kit options, Grade 8 Unique Kit options, etc) will only modify your Secondary Stats.

Character Stats Adjustment

You can now quickly adjust your stats without having to manually add points 1 by 1. You can remove stats in bulk or add stats in bulk. Note that you will require sufficient lore to remove your points or you will be limited by the maximum number of points that you can remove.
To reduce points, you will have to make sure that you are not limited by the Character minimum stats as per level or the items that have been equipped.
You can also quickly adjust your Mercenary stats the same way you adjust your character stats.
