[ Origin Adjustments ]
Avian
Optimized [Vegetarian] trait to make food items non-interactable in the first place instead.
Arachnid
Optimized [Carnivore] trait to make food items non-interactable in the first place instead.
Shulk
Increased gameplay impact value from "easy" to "medium".
Hunger status effect given by [Large Appetite] now expires immediately after getting full health.
Fixed an issue whereby the [Shulk Inventory] trait is not opening the inventory properly.
Enderian
Opimized [Teleportation] trait to follow vanilla ender pearl behavior and physics.
Phantom
The Phantom's unique abilities allowed players to traverse with ease in distant places and escape situations others may not able to. This change aims to add a limit to this ability in order to promote fairness.
Nerfed [Phantom Form] trait:
Added [Essence Drift], a trait that adds a traversal drawback to this trait
Added another cooldown bar to show this drawback
Reduced movement speed when travelling in phantomized form
Updated skin overlay when using this Origin.
Fox
Changed name from "Spirit Fox" to "Fox".
Slimecican
The Slimecican was a capable tank that was able to take damage and knock enemies away. However, I felt that it was much stronger than I expected and deserved a bit of change.
Adjusted [Fragmentation] trait:
Increased maximum player health by default as an effect of this trait
When the player's health is at 50% over the max health, they'll shrink in size
This trait will no longer prevent the player from dying but instead make the player adapt its stats depending on the health it has
Removed several damage resistance and mitigation
Updated skin overlay when using this Origin.
Fixed health glitch whereby this Origin causes the player to be invulnerable.
Inchling
Camera perspective is now more accurate.
Bee
Increased cooldown before the [Poisonous] trait can be used again from 1 second to 2 seconds.
Piglin
I realized that players find it difficult to trigger and therefore benefit from the Piglin's unique traits under conditions with no players nearby. Therefore, I decided to enhance its capabilities so it can adapt to any situation.
Buffed [Resilience] trait:
Changed name to [Tenacity]
Will now trigger upon killing other mobs as well instead of just players
Increased damage mitigation from 50% up to 90%
Increased base attack damage given by the [Boasting Firepower] trait from 2 to 4.
Starborne
The Starborne provided the players a great combo of mobility and long-range combat with its adaptive abilities. This change is to hopefully make the players focus more on the [Stress] trait mechanics.
Adjusted [Stress] trait:
Increased time to reduce [Stress] from perfoming [Meditate]
Rate at which [Stress] increases is now the same regardless of any situation
Cooldown of other skills are now decreased when the [Stress] is at 70% instead of 50%
Updated cooldown bar look to show the mark beyond the 70% threshold
Adjusted [Hyper Leap] trait:
Optimized the direction and accuracy of dashes
Has been simplified and can no longer be consecutively be triggered, but offers a fairly short cooldown before each use
Ability can no longer be triggered while the [Shooting Star] ability is in cooldown
Buffed [Shooting Star] trait:
Increased the number of projectiles that fires upon use
Changed damage type from `entity_explosion` to `magic`
