Patch Notes: Weapon techniques, trader houses and a safe new character

Weapon techniques

When you push the Weapon technique key during a swing, the technique stops the swing and starts at once. The attack cooldown does not stop a technique now. A gun must complete its shot and its reload first.

A technique gets a backstab chance on each foe that has its back to you when you push the key. A Shadowstep that lands behind a foe gets a backstab chance on that foe.

A leap or a dash stops your swing when you jump. Your swing does not hit during the jump.

Martial technique key

A new key, Martial technique, uses the signature technique of your martial path. It works when your weapon has a technique of its own. Set this key in Controls, or use the Path button on a touch screen. When your weapon has two techniques, the HUD shows the two.

Trader houses

On the town map, a house with a player trader that has items for sale is blue. Your own house stays red.

New characters

Online, the first choice for a new character is now Casual. Enduring is second and Bloodline is third.
