Got a cool project idea but nothing else? Put it in the project ideas thread instead!

Thetis has uploaded the 3.0 version of Wrath of Cronos yesterday, I checked it quickly and could see a new class (assassin) and some monsters from Hell-Forged mod, but I will wait for a patch notes before anything, looks amazing :D

Also the head sprite of the assassin feels a bit off for the general style of heretic/hexen or even doom. But I'm really glad we have a new class to play.

Yeah, that's really cool news! Cheers! :cheers:
Unfortunately Thetis quite rarely post an informative changelog, so there a some unofficial update log (probably incomplete):
Changelog V3
========================
MAJOR Changes:
* Assassin class added, a stealthy melee and ranged class that can kill enemies quickly and silently.
Classes:
- Fighter
* Vanguard's Temperance stacks should now properly function from taking damage.
- Cleric
* Active Summon Legends are now shown as a powerup icon.
- Mage
* Bloodscourge fires 3 tics slower.
Archon's Greater Arcane Barrier bonus reduced to 15% from 25%, but allies now receive 75% of the barrier, up from 50%.
- Hunter
* Invigoration replaced with Spinning Slash, a machete ability that does area damage around the Hunter.
* Fan of Knives replaced with Wind Slash, a machete ability that sends out a mid ranged slice of cutting air.
* Sprint replaced with Raven Companion, reworked to be a level 1 ability with the ravens only lasting 30 seconds.
* Wolf Companion added, a powerful wolf for Hunters to call.
* Marksman's Focus now takes three seconds to activate, down from 5.

* Active summons are now shown as a powerup icon.
Hexen:

* Director should now properly work for Hexen.

In a small note, I noticed that Thetis fixed that bug where if you played Hexen with WoC, the monsters of the first level never shown the health bar until you went to the next level.
I mean, it was a bit annoying playing winnowing hall without knowing the health of Ettins in previous versions, now it is finally fixed! :D

Well, it's cool but I personally a more bothered about fixes of major skill bugs like as broken Fighter skills.

Hi everyone, updated WoC to add an additional class in the assassin. She's stealthy and quick on her feet and can do a lot of sudden damage with proper precision.

Hopefully future GZDoom updates do not cause issues.

Download links are on the first post.
Spoiler: Changelog
I probably forgot a lot of other tweaks in this changelog.

EDIT: Had to quickly reupload the main/lite files to hotfix a glitch.

I feel like this is a 'Me' thing, but when on a map with a butt-load of monsters it lags massively.

It's not a 'You' thing; since WoC is very heavy on its scripting while calculating monster levels, attributes, damages, drop chances, in relation to the character him/herself, as well as the various effects going on, it all becomes a lot of information and can get incredibly, unplayably laggy. It's noticeable mostly in slaughtermaps, though, so most wads should be relatively fine, as they rarely go above -as far as I know- 600-700ish monsters for the largest ones I've experienced.

Some diablo 3D maps have close to 300 monsters and using the massacre command could cause the game to crash but you need WOC to play the project.

I've been noticing something strange. I was playing through Hexen as a necromancer (specializing in curses, which works quite well). I put most of my points into intellect, but some in strength and wisdom. Normally, I should be doing decent damage to most enemies, but every so often I'm doing minimal damage. It was especially noticable in Dungeons with the non-stop ettin party. The problem is that I was barely doing any damage to the ettins (normally, the heart weapon would do around 30-40 damage per hit, but in these cases, I kept seeing single digits), even the basic ones, and even with max enfeeble curses. As a result, I kept getting swamped by them because they were spawning in faster than I could kill them, even though I had about 60 or so intellect by that point. It's almost like there are times when intellect isn't being factored in, but the ettins are stronger than what you would find in Winnowing Hall. I'm not sure if it's a savegame issue or if it's only summoned monsters. I couldn't seem to find the actual cause, and I had to use the BUTCHER code numerous times just to survive.
