[Neus]

2.80
Battlefield Circles

• Added Battlefield Circles, and Temporary Battlefield Circles.
  
• These are interactive objects that you can use to start multi-party PvP battles with up to 12 different parties.
  
• Various parameters can be adjusted for these battles, including things like Max HP/FP Multipliers, Damage Scaling, etc. (Temporary circles can be right-clicked to do so, while permanent circles can be interacted with normally.)
  
• Temporary circles can be spawned anywhere by clicking a new HUD button. They will disappear when the creator leaves the queue.
  
• Permanent circles are sandbox objects that can be crafted via Construction. Additional map selections can be added to them by crafting Cartographer's Memory items and fusing them with the circle. (As a heads up, both the circle and memory items are a bit expensive!)
  
• Due to the expensive nature of these items, permanent circle items cannot be attacked, nor can they be dismantled by anyone except their placer (or a GM). When dismantled, all Cartographer's Memory items fused with it will return to that person's inventory.
  
• If someone has placed one in an undesirable or disruptive spot, please notify a GM. As with all sandbox objects, abuse may lead to your inability to utilize these features.
  

Event Tools

• Encounter Tool:
  •  
    
  • Added a button to set Battle Modifiers for your encounter.
       
    
  • If Target Mode is active, when you apply an encounter, it will include all of the player characters inside of that same battle. (Including yourself! Be careful. Note that you will still need to click on a specific player as the initial 'apply' target.)
    

Crystal Terminal Upgrades

• Added 4 new Crystal Terminal upgrades called Crystal Cartography (I
  
• IV). These allow you to craft Cartographer's Memory items for use with Battlefield Circles.

Soldier

- When loading your character, you are given the same 'walking monster grace period' that you get when leaving a battle, meaning monsters will not ambush and engage you the second you appear.
