Two new races & Necromancer Skeleton Army

Pit Lord: Joins the roster with Demonic Rage, Cleaving Attack, Howl, and Doom. Doom has been tested with enemy-spawn protection.

Far Seer: Arrives with Far Sight, Storm Charge, Feral Spirit, and Earthquake. Feral Spirit uses the current deployable system for summoned spirits.

Necromancer overhaul: Bone Harvest replaces Vampiric Aura and earns Bone Shards through combat. Spend a shard with !ability to Raise Skeletons—real animated TF2C skeleton NPCs. Cripple and Unholy Frenzy remain.

Race-guide cleanup: Shorter race-info descriptions for Orcish Horde, Blood Mage, Necromancer, Pit Lord, and Far Seer to prevent menu truncation.

Preserved: Saved race progression, existing custom weapons, and the current !pray system.

Live feedback: Please report any issues with skeleton behavior, new race skills, or balance as real-player testing continues.

Replacement skills & live gameplay update

Necromancer — Spectral Guard: Raise Dead has been retired. !ability now activates a direct defensive guard with 15/20/25/30% eligible weapon-damage reduction for 3/4/5/6 seconds and a 20-second cooldown. It no longer requires a corpse, soul, or Soul Framework readiness.

Mountain King: The tenth race adds Stone Skin, Thunder Clap, Iron Will, and Heavy Swing. Mountain King intentionally has four non-ultimate skills; Heavy Swing is passive and !ult does not activate a fake ultimate.

Human — Devotion Aura: True maximum-health bonuses are corrected at +15/+25/+35/+45 HP.

Blood Mage — Phoenix Barrier: The old teammate revive has been retired. When an enemy weapon hit would drop the Blood Mage to 35% health or lower, Phoenix Barrier can trigger 10/15/20/25% eligible weapon-damage reduction for 2.0/2.5/3.0/3.5 seconds with a 25-second cooldown.

Undead — Suicide Bomber: TF2C compatibility handling was updated while preserving the existing damage and balance values.

Race HUD: The HUD position has been corrected so the server config no longer leaves it overlapping the upper-left menu area.

Live validation: The live server is continually monitored for gameplay and balance issues. Please report the race, skill, weapon, and situation if something behaves incorrectly.

Balance, counterplay & compatibility update

Undead — Suicide Bomber: Manual activation now has a 1.5-second arming period with cloak break, movement slowdown, visible warning effects, and a one-time audible warning before detonation. Normal death-triggered Suicide Bomber remains immediate.

Undead — Unholy Aura: Movement-speed reapplication was made more reliable while avoiding overwriting legitimate non-neutral movement effects such as Heavy/minigun slowdown.

Orc — Healing Ward: Owner healing is now 1/3/5/7 HP per second and ally healing is 2/4/6/8 HP per second. Same-owner overlapping wards still do not multiply healing on one target.

Night Elf — Evasion: Evasion proc values are unchanged, but repeated successful-proc chat notices are throttled to reduce rapid-fire message spam.

Human — Devotion Aura: The true maximum-health implementation remains in place at +15/+25/+35/+45 HP.

Blood Mage — Phoenix: This was the previous revival implementation in v0.3.15. The revive mechanic was retired in v0.4.2 and replaced by Phoenix Barrier.

Core compatibility & stability improvements

v0.3.15 includes additional Core compatibility work for existing RPG features, including cleanse handling and hostile-ultimate interactions.

Existing persistent XP, race levels, skill points, Gold, race keys, and player progression remain intact.

Foxhound power stack reduced

Foxhound now has a 10% body-damage penalty, 45% improved accuracy, and its existing 20% slower firing speed. Headshots remain enabled, but their damage is reduced by 25%.

The automatic five-second mini-crit boost after a kill has been removed. Headshots are based on actually hitting the target's head—they are not a random chance.

Nine new weapons complete Pack 8

Pack 8 adds Hyperburst, McBain, Astrogun!, Trench Terrorizer, Medizinische Pistole, Royal Decree, Invisible Hotline, Gauss Hog, and Booster Shot.

The release includes the complete server and FastDL asset set with Linux-safe paths and preserves the existing Pack 1–7 collection.

Ten class-spanning weapons added

Pack 7 adds Eephus, July Special, Airblaster, Wee Willy, Warsaw Workhorse, Coil Jumper, Naturgewalt, Shooting Star, Din's Fire, and Silver Rose.

Eleven more weapons joined the collection

Pack 6 adds Brick Frog, Jungle Juggler, Rhythm Chaser, Pilot Light, Tavish Terminator, Mukha Mauler, Scrapjack, Seraph Surge, Sportsman's Sidearm, The Scavenger, and Backshot.

Combat reliability & balance foundation

The previous v0.3.14.3 live build established the combat-reliability and proc-safety work that remains preserved in v0.3.15, including safer damage classification, projectile/proc handling, movement-lock protections, and existing Crypt Lord safety work.
