Update 1.10 (13th November 2017)
[Design] Lower XP gains when defeating Level 3 boss and beyond

[Design] Cost of Rift Disks changed to 5 Crystals
[Design] Marked ones have been reverted to their original form. Halloween masks now only available through Rift Disks.
[Design] Cost of the Attribute Points reset changed to 3 Crystals
The very high amount of XP given by Bosses made it too easy to farm XP and prestige levels in PvE, which was not the original intention, so this has been rebalanced. Combat Trials also now give more XP, so players will now win Prestige levels and Crystals faster. Rift Disks cost has also been updated to reflect this change.

DESIGN UPDATES
Parry :
Almost all attacks, including thrust attacks, now require a specific parry direction to be countered (exceptions: Hadrunken, Obvious Slash and bare-hands Rush Attack for Stagger style)
Rush :
Decrease rush acceleration
Closer rush camera
Rush attacks: increase stun duration
Rush attacks: decrease knockback
Note: These are first steps to address fleeing behaviour.
Rush attacks were intended to counter players fleeing, but until now the player hit by a rush attack had the time to rush again directly after. With a longer stun and shorter knockback for the rush attacks, and a slower acceleration for the rush, the issue should be less present.
Also the new rush camera is closer to the character, so the player has not the whole vision of their surroundings, and it feedbacks more clearly when the character is rushing.
Camera :
The camera position is now lower when close to walls.
Shockwave :
Range 230cm -> 280cm (as before 1.06) BUT knockback now depends on distance to caster (from 280 when close to the caster, to 84 when at the limit of the range)
Items :
Added rarity levels to all equipments
Updated drop rates (Rift Coins and Rift Disks)

[DESIGN] Loot drops in Rift Coins and Rift Disks now give items in different color variants
Patch 1.07 (26 September 2017) we have identified a bug which caused animations to play incorrectly and hits not to be detected: this has been fixed and is included in the 1.07 update.
