GENERAL:

- New: Player chest ! The player chest is now available in Amarth. You will also find a player chest in the housing furnitures for you to access your gear from your house. The player chest is shared between your characters.
- New: audio assets and audio system, triggering “horde” sound according to the number of enemies around

UI & VISUALS:

- The ROS has been reworked and the white overlay is now combined with arrows to indicate the current flow direction and bars to delimitate the different costs in the queue. Skills can now have different transferring speed from one resource to the other, and this will help us to balance resource exchanges in the future. Since we haven’t find the right transfert time for each skill yet, you may experience situations were lots of costs queue on the interface (lots of small bars in Umbra or Rage) but this will be fixed in the future.
- Improved: Some particle optimizations (rock polygon count and textures)
- Improved: timing of combo particles
- Improved: Character sheet UI
- Improved: Inventory UI

Channeling with the Shield will result in a 100% Block Chance on frontal attacks. Those new values will be affected by Passive Skills and Magic Effects in the future.
