  You may now put things in a temporary inventory without having to mod to achieve that effect. I thought about it, and why the hell not? Why can't that be a vanilla feature? So they can profit 200nx off of selling me a bank coupon instead of me just putting stuff in a temp inv temporarily and then finish the dungeon and reach a bank within 5 minutes?

  
  
  Since when could mods allow you to put items into the temporary inventory?

  Right click self, put things in a trade window with yourself, cancel trade. Only worked with tradable items though. It always resets an item to five minutes in the temporary inventory.

  Final Hit, Elf and Giant rebalance:
  
  the thing about FH is that the damage is actually fine, its the UPTIME that's the problem, as well as the lack of opportunity cost for using it.
  
  So with that in mind:
  
  FH Base Cooldown: 240 > 600
  Final Hit Cooldown Reduction Reforge: Removed
  Defense and Protection while Final Hit is Active: 100% > 0%
  Mana Shield use while under the effects of Final Hit: Disabled.
  
  All Beam Swords and Onions have their max damage reduced by 10% for Bargain, 15% for normal, and 20% for Focused.
  
  Bam, skill balanced. You only get to use it once every 10 minutes, you can't get endgame damage anymore by spending 8m so you have to build CRKs or at least Pilgrims, step 6 them and enchant them
  
  Bash is a different beast (largely because it's a lot weaker in Alban-type content where you will get murdered for staying that long in melee range). If anything I'd buff it for Giants in this manner:
  
  Giant Bash:
  420%/450%/490%/540%/600%
  Giant Bash now treats Very Slow weapons as Slow, Slow weapons as Normal, Normal Weapons as Fast, and Fast Weapons as Very Fast.
  
  Also even though I don't really believe in huge racial diffs, if we're going to have Giants be the melee race I'd make their STR difference more meaningful. So as such:
  
  Stat Tweaks:
  Giant Grandmaster Warrior gives +50 STR (125 total)
  Giant Combat Mastery now gives 60 STR at Rank 1
  Human Combat Mastery now gives 35 STR at Rank 1
  Strength removed from Ranged Attack (Human and Elf), Arrow Revolver
  
  Elves and Range
  
  
  all stats removed from life skills (dex from life skill talents stays though) and redistributed among combat talents (having life skills give stats was a ridiculously bad design decision, sure it makes the game easier to get your stats from combat talents but it also makes sense and grind isn't difficulty to begin with)
  Dexterity capped at 825 base for elves (725 base for humans, 600 base for giants)
  max damage on bows increased by an average of 30, with bigger increases for mid-tier weapons (Starlight Bow/BDK/etc)
  
  elves can load and aim while moving
  elves get an automatic passive skill called "Shot of the Gods" which can be activated every 10 shots for a perfect accuracy shot provided the target is within 1k of their equipped bow's maximum range
  elf magnum increased to 550%
  elf crash shot increased to 275%
  
  this tones down elf range's ridiculous late game, while making it actually worth using at 2k ish.

  Not really an ideal solution.
  
  1. It doesn't adhere to the KISS principle. The simpler solution is nearly always the better solution.
  
  2. There's fairly little opportunity cost in using even your version of Final Hit.
  - Reduced availability doesn't increase opportunity cost.
  - Defense and Protection are fairly meaningless in high-end Alban.
  - Mana Shield is pretty meaningless in everything else.
  
  3. It doesn't fix the key problem with the skill. High damage plus effortless teleportation.
  - Smash deals 500-820% damage [3~5 sec] compared to Final Hit's 400% damage [0.5 sec].
  
  There's a real easy solution here and it's to knock the multiplier down a notch and reduce the effectiveness of certain reforges.
  
  e.g.
  
  ====================================
  
  Bash now has a short cooldown. All other features remain the same.
  Elf [6 sec]
  Human [5 sec]
  Giant [4 sec]
  
  Do you honestly think that melee should consist of people spamming the same skill? Increasing the cooldown gives players enough down time to mix in other skills to maintain high DPS.
  
  ====================================
  
  Final Hit now deals 200% damage per hit.
  Final Hit Cooldown Decreased reforge reduced to -4 seconds per level.
  
  At these numbers Final Hit still outdamages everything sans Giant/Thames Smash or heavily reforged Smash. Final Hit still retains its usefulness with high damage and teleportation.
  
  --------------------------------------------------------------------------
  --------------------------------------------------------------------------
  
  Unless DevCat pulls back some of our ridiculous overcentralization and power creep we can only expect future content to be filled with instant agro mobs that have advanced heavy stander. End-game is reliant on this sort of "fake difficulty" which disregards most game mechanics in favor of a select handful of broken ones.
  
  If these changes drop skill usage below 7.41% reduce the severity of the nerfs until it raises above that cutoff.

  • If you have not reached the 5-gift limit on a partner, you are given the option to gift to the partner again after gifting, instead of being forced to exit the conversation and start again.
    
  • The amount of times a partner's likability can go down due to hunger in one summon is limited to three times. Any more than that, and you will not penalized for the hunger until you desummon it and resummon it without feeding it.
    

  
  Lets be real, the real problems with partners was the camera angle glitch, which they fixed a while ago, and the accidentally afking with partners out, which this recent update felt like it was trying to address but still did nothing about.

  Different opinions. To me, it'd be like calling Humans and Elves ''Small''. Could be better, and I leave it at that :)
  
  Actually. I'd like to rename a few things :awesome:

  AquaAliens complaining on the forums that giants are actually considered a people within the game and all previously considered elven people are aliens.
  I can see it now.

  Your'e right! Humans should be miniature masters and Giants could be massive moochers!
