Hotfix: April 22, 2025

[Oduda]

@Keldy

you know why it doesn’t make a difference to me?
because after 3 months of work the patch has fixed practically nothing, on the contrary it has only made some bugs worse.

Oh ok, so you are going to sit here and lie as well. Gotcha.

Stamina

We received a lot of feedback that said you weren’t happy with the stamina changes, stating that the cost was simply too high - so we’re going to meet somewhere in the middle.

First, we reduced the stamina cost of attacks by 50%. This keeps the balance of relative value from weapon to weapon, keeping them feeling different from one another, and also allows you to perform full combos with even two-handed weapons with only 100 stamina.

With the reduced stamina cost of attacks, we can be more gentle with stamina regeneration again. We’ve returned stamina regen time to its previous timing, and reinstated the Exhausted state that occurs when your stamina is depleted.

In total, the following changes have been made:

• Reduced the stamina cost of attacks by 50% from their current values
• Restored stamina settings to the same or similar settings to prior values
• StaminaRegenerationTime = 3.75
• StaminaExhaustionTime = 3.75
• StaminaOnConsumeRegenPause = 1.3
• StaminaOnExhaustionRegenPause = 2.75
• Restored the Exhausted state, and left out the slide-in message that informed you your stamina was empty.

Cool, go apply for a job there and start fixing them!
