Phobos · Community Announcements · December 22, 2024
Read the original on Steam ↗We have seen the return of Christmas, please visit Emperor Tâgfrik, of Tâgileim for presents. Weather has come to Erasan, with snow and rain in many regions. Potions can now be brewed in larger quantities. Players that own a house can now benefit from a resting bonus. Loot table changes, that improves the hunting experience. Thank you all for a great year!
CHANGELOG
MERRY CHRISTMAS!
Emperor Tâgfrik, of Tâgileim, has decreed that it is time for the holiday spirit! Be sure to wish him a "Merry Christmas" next time you're nearby.
The Duzmukm dwarves, who trespass still on the northern-most parts of the Tâgileim mines, have long shunned these seasonal festivities. This year they went as far as to steal a whole shipment of candy canes! Emperor Tâgfrik is offering special gifts in exchange for the un-nibbled return of the candy canes.
WEATHER
Weather has come to Erasan. A festive sign, say those in the northern regions, as the snow falls.
BREWING
Potions can now be brewed in much larger quantities at a time (up to 1000).
The brewing window bottle slot now requires that bottle(s) be inside it to brew successfully.
ITEMS
Slightly increased the frequency of mithril ore drop rates.
Demonskin Robe had its stats increased.
Demonskin Boots nature bonus re-added.
Removed Elosia Leaf from the NPC Ross Banum.
Added description to archery ammunition to show whether it's for bow or crossbow.
Item types now all have similar formatting.
MAP
PVP has been enabled in all boss content areas, this will help resolve camping or blocking spawns. Please let us know if a certain area needs to be further addressed.
Environmental fire damage now stacks. Total damage is unchanged; this simply brings these into line with how other environmental effects are set up.
The standard death penalty now applies in PVP areas, including the new boss areas, but not in the arena.
Fixed shop related crashing bug - when walking away from shop with the action window open.
Added a loot channel to show loot data without being in a party.
Client crashing bug caused by (multi) targeting.
Targeting cursor when using with, now properly using windows default.
Add setting to hide item types.
Closing loot channel no longer kicks you the game.
Minimap close button no longer overlays hover tooltip.
Added 'Create up to 20 characters' to the stated list of Noble account benefits.
MONSTERS
Adjusted dwarves defenses to be more in line of their level range.
Various performance optimizations on monster behavior.
Bargura now heals a little if its only target is inaccessible and not in line of sight (as it did already when it has no target).
LOOT
We recently added support for a different way to handle monster loot. Previously, every item in a monster's loot table could theoretically drop from the same monster; but equally, nothing might drop. The aim with the new system is to reduce the 'RNG factor' here. We are still trialing this system.
HOUSING
Being inside a house now grants very fast HP/MP regen.
Being inside a house now gradually grants a 'rested' bonus (when online and offline), lasting up to a maximum of 2 hours.
When rested, loot reduction based on monster level no longer applies.
Our intention with this feature is that it'll eventually provide a flat % bonus (e.g. to experience/loot).
Fixed players logged out in a house for 25 days or more could no longer log in due to a bug in the rested buff (hotfixed: 2024-11-01).
PVP
Allow pushing (but not swapping) in all PVP-enabled areas.
ART
Mayhem set graphics updated.
CLERIC
Smite no longer heals enemies in PVP.
NPCS
Fixed various minor NPC bugs, trailing spaces, and missing responses.
