Changes

• Creatures no longer disappear immediately when looted. Additional visual indication will be implemented in the patch scheduled for December 17.
• It is now possible to reduce the amount of critical damage received. A base chance to reduce critical damage by up to 15% has been introduced and is calculated automatically based on avatar skill level in relation to the attacking creature's level. Items and boosts will also be introduced which will allow incoming critical damage to be reduced even further.

Known Issues
