Heroes of Steel v4.2.51 Released!

[fallen]

In this update, we're following up on recent changes that allowed Strength to directly impact your damage. As a refresher, if you're wielding a Strength-based weapon, the minimum your Damage dice can roll is equal to your Strength score. If you are wielding a 2-handed Strength-based weapon, the minimum your Damage dice can roll is 200% your Strength.

This week, we've linked Vraes' Natural Mastery talent into those new rules. Natural Mastery now adds +Strength for Vraes' attacks, used only when calculating this minimum Damage dice roll. Therefore, if you had +6 Strength from Natural Mastery, and 12 natural Strength, you'd be working with a minimum Damage roll of 18 or 36 for a 2H weapon. This bonus does not affect Accuracy, which Natural Mastery already has covered. Topping out at max, with +12 from Natural Mastery and 16 natural Strength, Vraes packs on from 28 to 56 guaranteed minimum Damage with every attack. This bonus does not affect Accuracy, which Natural Mastery already has covered.


In addition, we'd like to thank some of our players for requesting that the game remember zoom setting between regions. We've added that this update and I can say its really nice!

As the game has grown to be so large and long, we've had some quest logs lingering to long and other small issues related to that. We've done another round of clean up this week based on emails and posts from you, the community!

We are hard at work on the next chunk of story for Heroes of Steel, which will be the next-to-last story update for Episode 4. Hoping its ready soon!

- Vraes' Natural Mastery now increases Strength for base Dmg Calculation
- Natural Mastery bonus adds Strength-based Dmg, doubled for 2H weapons
- Zoom setting now remembered when traveling between regions

Nice. Always thought vreas needed another offensive build option. This gives it. Nice job fellas. And thnx for cleaning up the hanging chads... err... i mean the hanging quest. Not many developers would worry about such a small thing. Keep up the good work.

We are dedicated to making quality games with as few bugs as possible. Heroes might be years old and falling in popularity but we're still in love with it. We spend hours every week talking about how to make it better!

More like torturing us poor players that are still engaged in party crafting. I now want to respec my dex Vraes into a str Vraes with crazy minimum damage. It is a very neat addition to natural mastery.

I see that the HoS Google play page still asks you to Greenlight HoS. Maybe it is time for that to go?

I can't find that on the Google Play store listing. Just checked over bot the of the listings carefully. Can you link me or screenshot?

I do get it. But ... is that Google Play? Maybe you have a cached version that is 6-7 months old? That is so old. Due to Google rules about keywords in posts, we had to remove the list of other games almost a year ago, which is also shown in your screenshot.

EDIT: figured it out. There was a UK English version of the same page which was very out of date.

Aha!
