- Introducing tricolor essences with auras - 13 April 2025
Heal - Empathy If you heal a target below 50% life you get a buff reducing your resource consumption. Tank - Anticipation If you are at 100% life you get a shield up to 5% of your total lifepool. Fervor After 3 consecutive critical hits you receive 15 power temporarily.
- Essence Laboratory - 6 April 2025
Essence Laboratory You can access the new level through the laboratory in Academy Halls The Essence laboratory enables you to craft bichromatic essences from monochromatic ones. Bichromatic essences have two ability modifiers instead of one. So you can power scaling and procc chance combined in one essence. They also count as two essences for the color bonus during avatar compilation. You can open the dialog while standing in front of the desk. You can select a recipe, drag in the required essences and craft your new essence. I am looking forward to add special trichromatic essences soon. Those will have special effects added to them so stay tuned :)

- Introducing Essence Forge - 2 February 2025
Introducing Essence Forge You can access the forge through the cave in the Desert of Pain. Essence Forge allows you to forge three essences into an upgraded one. At start there are three recipes available. To determine the level of the resulting essence the following formula is taken: resulting_essence_level = average_input_essence_level + 1 Three random essences generate a new random essence Three essences of the same color generate a new essence of this color Three identical essences generate a new identical essence Here is a short video about the forging progress. I plan to add an intro quest for the forge. Furthermore, I am experimenting with forging modifiers.
- Introducing Recurring Quests - 19 January 2025
There are Weekly and Daily recurring quests Daily quests will reward experience and essences. They reset 24 hours after the last completion. Weekly quests reset 7 days after the last completion. They also grant essences and experience. Additionally, they also grant Zonert used for upgrading your cell. You can click on the 'i' to display more information The small yellow arrow icon indicates whether it is a daily (1) or (7) weekly quest. I am adding raid-strategy behavior to bots. For example in Pit of Elements if a tank has a vortex, they will automatically move to a stone pillar.

I cannot reproduce all of them, but I plan to do exhaustive playtesting. Before gathering marketing material I also want to redesign the Zone Terminus world zone. After that, I will redesign the Steam page and create a new trailer.

Animation Rework: Urikas and Water Stream That concludes the animation rework. All weapons are now reworked. I plan to release a new version next weekend. WaterStream got new animations and a chain primary attack. I updated particles and character animations. I scrapped the Summon Water Totem spell. Instead, you can now stand on the area effect Water Source to summon the totem. Urikas also got new animations and a chain primary attack. The Blessed Buff is now part of the attack chain. You can either Bless an ally or apply a debuff to the enemy. The new ultimate Summon Orb creates a sphere that heals allied targets. Area Effects and Target Zones will now use a Decal Projector. Those effects will now get projected onto the ground. So they also follow stairs and inclined planes.
- Animation Rework: Moonseeker and Relieving Journal - 29 September 2024
Animation Rework: Moonseeker and Relieving Journal Introducing Moonseeker I completely reworked the design of the crossbow weapon Versatile Crossbow. I was neither satisfied with his theme nor his animations. The new weapon Moonseeker replaces this weapon. It is also a bow weapon and shares some spells. As the name might indicate, it is a lunar ranger weapon. Here is a video showcasing the spells of MoonSeeker. I reworked the talent tree. You can read about all spells here: https://raiding.zone/docs/items/weapon/f4d485be-52a5-4fb8-b27f-7d1d1c99f949/ Reworked Relieving Journal Like the damage weapons, I added a chained base ability to the Relieving Journal. This results in a new spell Reap that deals area damage and can be skilled to heal allied targets. The Journal got new animations and effects. I want to finish the weapon reworks in two weeks. There are only Urikas and WaterStream lef…
- Progress Report: Animation Rework - 15 September 2024
Progress Report: Animation Rework I am proud to announce that I am halfway through all weapon animations. The fact that I am reworking some talents and abilities on the way slightly hinders my progress. I want to show you the new animations for the Obsidian Warhammer, the Staff of Burning Souls, and the Protectors of the Lost. Staff of Burning Souls got an auto-attack rotating and a new ultimate skill. I axed the Fire Ball ability. Your first ability is now rotating. It contains: Sear, Burn, and Blast. To fill the open position at Blast, Pyroball is now part of your default ability set. The new ultimate Beacon takes the old place. Obsidian Warhammer got new animations, particles, and an auto attack rotation The auto attack is now a sequence of 3 spells. The first spell Siphon applies the Siphon-Debuff. The second grants Obsidian Infusion as before. The third attack Spread will spread th…
- Father of War: Animations - 1 September 2024
I reworked the way I create animations. Previously, I took all animation from asset packs from the Assetstore or Mixamo. But it is hard to modify those and adapt them to your own weapons. Father of War has two stances. An offensive and defensive stance. You can switch those through the Switch Stance ability. The sword effect color indicates your active stance. Basic attack is a sequence of three abilities In attack stance you can access Riposte, Leap and Whirl Riposte Leap Whirl In defensive stance you can cast Parry, Intercept and Steel Curtain Parry Intercept Steel Curtain The death animation is inspired by the blockbuster King Arthur
- Teaser: New Weapon Father of War - 18 August 2024
Father of War is a tank weapon. It is a two-handed long sword. You have two basic abilities. Switch Stance changes your abilities from an offensive to defensive state. Each stance has three abilities. Offensive abilities focus on damage and threat generation. Defensive abilities focus on damage mitigation and protection. Furthermore, after choosing the talents you have access to ultimate abilities. Like all other weapons, Father of War has 15 talents. Now I will focus on animating the new weapon. By doing this I also rework all existing animations.

- Release - War Room - 7 July 2024
I've finished the war room in the prison complex. It is accessible through the compilation core. It contains emitters displaying all active raids in your current zone. Currently, it serves as a visual representation. I plan to add more meta information to those emitters. The goal is to enable joining or applying to raids from this room. I had time for some bug-fixes. The third stage of Sludge Madness is now accessible. The code checked if Varanoth died, but he only appeared in the next stage. I changed it to Phenia and Gooness. Now it is working again. Fire nova will not crash the client. The Unity client is not able to parse NaN double values. The Fire Nova spell produced such values and crashed the client. I removed the NaN values, and it behaves properly now. Upcoming changes - Further development Reintroduction of Bloodshed Arena Character Animations Spell Key Rebinding New Weapons…
