Currently Known Issues

  • Lens flare and bloom are blown out while using high quality graphical levels.

notes

exploits

  • Blocked the ability to toggle between first and third person camera perspectives while attacking.

newadditions

  • New weapon recipes added:
    • Steel Short Sword available at level 31
    • Hardened Steel Short Sword available at level 55
    • Steel Great Axe available at level 32
    • Hardened Steel Great Axe available at level 56
  • Added new weapon archetype: Dual Axes! Havok and Malice and Whirlwind blades are now labelled as dual axes.
  • Idle thralls and NPCs will now also show sheathed weapons.

crafting

  • Ingredients should now properly indicate whether or not you have the resources to craft enough of that ingredient to make at least one of the main recipes, even if you cannot actually craft any of that main recipe because you are lacking other ingredients.
  • Fixed an issue where crafting food would produce Putrid Meat. #chefkiss

ai

  • Archers should no longer walk backwards ignoring terrain features, as there can only be one king of moonwalking.
  • Mounts should now have the strength of will to exit deep bodies of water. Crom be blessed.
  • Archers should now use the bow more reliably.

purges

  • Fixed a number of issues where the purge could target objectives protected by blocking volumes.

balancing

  • Tweaked stats of Havoc and Malice and Whirlwind Blades to match their new animation set.
  • Increased reach of first light and first heavy attacks of the new 2h Axe.
  • Increased reach of the first light attack of the new Claws.
  • Increased reach of first light and first heavy attacks of the new Katana.
  • Started a retiming pass on the new Katana attacks. Currently only 1st light and 1st and 2nd heavy attacks have been adjusted. The rest are being worked on so expect some inconsistencies on the speed of the strikes along each chain.
  • Reduced the base duration of bleed effects to 8s (down from 20s). This should allow bleed effects to be shed easily in PvP while still allowing for the same damage potential in PvE as long as the effect is maintained.
