More character and talismans slots. YAY

[rags-6094]

Looks like Samurai and Vampire Hunter Eddies are the latest to get a well deserved tweak, both have always had plenty of punch but have always been vunerable.... I wonder if this will be enough to see them back in the arena like Hallowed Eddie is currently from the tweaks last month?

Wow, guys! Looks really great, especially the additional character and talisman slots! Thanks!

Great update. Happy to see avenger talisman fixed.

I definitely like -
the buffs to Samurai and VH Eds
the tweak to Grim Reaper's fury
a stat boost in stats to Onslaught and Mystical talismans.
numerous fixes
more slots
new talismans in talisman Skull Quests means they will be worth playing again
tweaks to shock and bleed effects


Not so sure about or not liking -
sorcery and skilled talisman stat changes in that they will be losing too much in their magic and attack stats (looks like you would be better off running overwhelming or ward than these)
added skill levels on the S. harpy (not that she gets used much these days)
Tweaks to Grim Reaper not going far enough imo (boost in stats are needed, more hp/magic especially to make him somewhat useful again)

Overall it looks pretty good I have to say.

Kaz - regarding the additional inventory slots, could you share some details on the adjusted costs? Are the costs increasing or decreasing? Or a mix of the two? Thanks!

Ironite costs will cap at 30 ironite for 5 new slots from 20 slots and above.
Gold costs will cap at 5,000,000 Gold for 5 new slots when at 210 slots or above.

I just want to say, thanks for capping slot costs. Also, since Samurai and Vampire Eddie are two of the four most recent Eddie pulls I had, I am super excited for this. Thanks!

Kaz: Thanks for the details. Looks like a great set of tuning.

I notice that Sandworm (yes, an original basic character) is getting Leden burn changed into Grievous burn.

Q: Does this mean that some of the "weird" burn types we see on a number of original characters will be going away (ie: Reducing the number of burn types)?
