  • Mining nodes inside cities now has a lower yield.
  • Navmesh updated.
  • AI dealing damage no longer adds aggro towards the target it damages.
  • Clade gift XP is now split between all living character that have dealt damage to the enemy before it died.
  • Horse Bags are now generated using the pet equipment system when equipped.
  • If you don't have enough pet points to ride a pet it will now tell you before you try to mount and ignore the mount command.
  • New tamed pets should no longer have their level locked by default.
  • Pets no longer follow if their owner dies.
  • Horses now keep better distance when following a player.
  • Pets with no attacks now ignore attack commands.
  • Dead players can no longer see entities on the living side. No more "ghost scouting".
  • Dead players can now see other dead players. The "ghost" appearance is a draft and will be updated with the spiritism patch.
  • Moved some Troll spawners that caused some Ai behaviour issues.
  • Improved randomized character generation routines. This allows us to extend NPC and creature variations to stuff like tattoos, patterns and other details in the future. First noticeable change is that NPCs from for example the Alvarin and Oghmir clades will now appear as either clade member (Veela/Sheevra or Blainn/Huergar).
  • Melee charge power curve changed again. It is slightly more linear and bumps the light spam attacks back on the menu, but not as strong as they have previously been.
  • Optimization: Multiple equipment updates in one tick is now updated as one batch instead of per part. This reduces character spawn overhead a bit.




Fixes:

  • Some NPCs from the non-Human clades had accidentally changed appearance to Human Tindremene and are now restored.
  • Guards should now properly equip and unequip their weapons without the weapons instantly teleporting to and from their hands too early.
  • Guards no longer re-equip their weapon when switching target.
  • A character queued for spawn could appear as a static figure if it died before the game spawned it in the world.
  • Characters no longer "spazz out" randomly after being killed, resulting in broken character parts flying all over the place. Undead for example would sometimes have their armor detach and rattle on the floor on death.
  • Cutting off limbs on characters should no longer cause some related armor parts to stay in the world and cause stretchy artifacts.
  • AI will now properly cut off limbs on opponents and give them impulses on successful kill. Guards for example can now dismember undeads on kill.
  • AI should no longer unintentionally have an absurd height reach. Guards for example could reach a player standing on top of a building while standing on the ground.
  • Arrows now get cleared when a character dies or disappears from the world.
  • Arrows are now visible on the bow again for other players.
  • Players no longer do the change armor animation when being loaded in the distance. The change armor animation now only happens when the other player intentionally changes equipment on their end.
  • Torches should now turn on lights and particles when a character appears in the distance. The torch would previously only turn on if the character equipped it while nearby.
  • Characters looking at other characters should no longer get head hitches when switching look-at targets.
  • Some creatures would launch into the air when killed due to incorrect collision settings.
  • Fixed rare HUD-related crash when equipping a weapon of different type (e.g. changing from bow to melee).
  • Fixed rare HUD-related crash when removing a character from the world.
  • Fixed cloth physics related crash that sometimes happened when a player unequipped a cape and died directly after (while switching to the etherworld).
  • Fixed issue with pets now correctly being deleted from stables when a character was deleted.
  • Extraction bags should now be tagged with their owner just like loot bags.
  • Fixed a couple of bandit/risar camps that were missing spawners.
