== What are we testing? ==

'''Today's test games require updated server resource packs.''' If you normally play with a custom or locally-saved resource pack, please switch to the server resource packs for these test games. The resource packs might be adjusted further before these updates go live.

These test games follow on from those last week. The main things we're be testing are:

=== Hero (Myra the Unseen) ===
We're continuing to test a new minor [[hero]], Myra the Unseen. Myra is an agile assassin hero, whose dagger allows her to blink forward in short bursts while damaging monsters along her travel path. This is a charge-based ability (like Durendal's sword beams) and can currently hit up to three enemies at a time. Currently, Myra can also climb walls by crouching next to a wall and looking up. Crouching while falling next to a wall will slow her descent, and releasing crouch allows her to wall kick.

Myra's stats and abilities aren't finalised and may be changed before she's added to live games. We're interested to hear what players think about her, including how she feels to play against.

Since last week's test games, Moira's dash has been changed slightly and is now based on the direction you are looking rather than the direction you are moving.

=== Slimes ===
If you've joined any of our recent map tests, you may have noticed that [[Slime|slimes]] currently spawn as regular special monsters on the test server. This is a change we're considering making in the future, so your feedback is appreciated.

We're currently testing an experimental rework to slimes. Slimes no longer grow when a dwarf they're riding dies, but will now grow (up to three times) after riding dwarves for a prolonged period. Larger slimes are tougher, with the largest slimes being much more difficult to kill. Slimes will get smaller again if they fail to mount any dwarves for too long.

Since last week's tests we've fixed an issue which was causing slimes to take too much damage, and also fixed a bug which could prevent them from giving dwarves rampages.
