You no longer earn XP from the infinitely re-spawning 'shadow' mummies in "Victory Lap" and "Crush the Keeper."
'Shadow mummies' have a lot less health now.
You no longer get credit for defeating "Silknight" when she kidnaps the merchant and disappears in Forest Haven chapter one.
Increased the drop rate for mini-bosses in the Forest Haven mini-dungeons.
Now all of the boss monsters in the Forest Haven mini-dungeons have the (very rare) chance of dropping the "Fiery Weapons of DOOM!!"

boooo boooo noo i want the easy xp back lol
gj fixing it
edit: I was expecting this since we could level up from lvl 45-50 in 1 day (hurray for my bird :P)
edit II: u still get money and stuff so it's still farmable, that's a good combo with the lower health points of the shadows :P Luckily the droprates are lowered

Just a note...to get King Mynas to spawn u have to kill all the aliens in that room. Otherwise u stand there killing shadow mummies. Not sure if it's the same for all bosses now.

The email option seems a little weird...just redirects to my regular email options.....not really the "mailbox" option I was looking for.....but oh well :)
Also...ran FH a bit...did not notice an increase.
Sorry only negative comments...

I only discovered this yesterday, and was planning on getting to level 50 today. Oh well. At least I got to level 48.
Are there any other places like this?

Even on weekends the devs deliver the patches. Surely they are restless! You rock!
Yay! You guys took my suggestion of keeping the ability for them to drop gold and greens. I'll still be there for gold farming, thanks! Wanted to commend you as well, developer's working on the weekend to get something urgent done, before the official work week starts is truly commendable. Congratulations, much props to you and thumbs up from the many thumbs in the world! :D.

..but why would you take away legitimate XP kills from the characters that rate the level? The ones that can't buy plat are already catching heck trying to level up & earn their items & finish quests. Just seems kind of unfair.

Because, then we will have players at the level cap that don't know how to play the game. Were you around to witness the Mynas Generation? It was bad, people at level 45 (the cap at the time) didn't know which characters revived, and how to play their character. They were like dead weight and since everybody looked the same back then, you couldn't tell the difference between the noobs and the pros. Don't want that happening, again. It was just plain disgusting and horrifying.

I doubt anyone told but rather the devs took notice. Exploits of this nature have been getting removed recently: there's the Beargular farming that was removed (and brought back), FH4 was removed quietly and I know of plenty of people who were farming that, the xp/kills that were being gained from Cockroach's trash bins was removed, these are just a few examples that I could remember in the past little while. When people learn about ways to gain something faster than just playing the game regularly then it can spread like wildfire, once there are enough doing it, the devs will notice what is going on.

Yeah, we hardly ever get updates on the weekends, especially drop increase updates! I agree: THESE GUYS ROCK!!!

Hey, in case one of you Devs sees this and is at liberty to answer:
Do all Forest Haven bosses have equal chances to drop Doom weapons? Or do some have more of a chance to drop one or all three of the Doom weapons than others?

Time to start new FH charts.
And I'm sorry, but all this CTK/Hideout stuff is very much like the Mynas Gen. Not as bad with the level limitations, but you get high levels who wonder where to get a Hooch hat, think Swamps will kill them, and don't know anything about Wyldwood... It's just sad, so I'm happy this goes a little ways towards people exploring a little bit. It's like pulling teeth to get them out there into the world though...
Just remembered: Nevermind about Swamps killing hem. They think FH (!!!) is dangerous!! Sooo many timid L20+s in Skeleton Cult...

Small bug, the text doesn't line up (fit) in the description of the new Forest Haven Boss Gauntlet:

Another fix is to bring xp back but make them spawn less often.

Not really, he's a random spawn as far as i can tell, although killing them kills thee time till he does actually spawn. sometimes he'll already be in the room when u get there.
