Steam Patch 3.1.7 is now live on Steam, go grab it! Server update is going live right now as well. [u][b]Diagonal Movement[/b][/u] We've successfully enabled diagonal movement! Pathfinding, when clicking to set a destination is still not perfect, as it priorities diagonal movement, but we are going to continue refining the logic to get the smoothest movement possible. [u][b]UI (Part 1)[/b][/u] Bardcore & Chisme have implemented a good majority of the in-game HUD, and will be moving to other major frames such as the quest log, character window, and more next week! Oh.. and MOUSEOVER TOOLTIPS! [b][u]360 Camera Rotation[/u][/b] We've successfully enabled free camera rotation to pair with the diagonal movement, and it feels really good. The player is still locked to moving in 8 directions, so you may have to get used to rotating the camera to the nearest 45 degree angle, but it feels natural quite quickly. If you dislike free cam, just lock the camera to cardinal directions in settings. [u][b]New Maps[/b][/u] Our newest team member, Cubano is extremely excited to bring everyone new zones / mini dungeon maps. I've attached his first design for you to see - let him know what you think! ❤️ @Jess made an absolutely insane wizard tower just West of Edrivine and is working on The Explorer's guild, which will host the Skinning & Leatherworking, Fishing, and Woodcutting & Woodworking NPCs. You'll find it Southeast of Marshdale on the lakefront when it's complete. 🍎SudsMcDuff has begun working on the SW region of Rendez 🙌 [u][b]Bank Overhaul Update[/b][/u] The Bank Overhaul is in progress by the one and only @Sprocket - he's making great strides in getting substantially more user friendly bank in place for everyone to enjoy. [u][b]Quest Improvements[/b][/u] Winterslice is busy working through Solitary Isles and getting the quests polished up. [u][b]Settings Cleanup[/b][/u] Players can now select between left or right click to interact with hotbars in settings. Camera rotation sensitivity, cardinal direction camera rotation, and more are now available. [u][b]Critical Bugfixes[/b][/u] Party Chat Range has been fixed to message party members globally Spawn blocking has been removed for resources - this should make respawns of gatherables feel a lot better Respawns will now force respawn after 5 cycles of failed respawn attempts - this should make mobs on hills such as phoenixes respawn correctly Mobs should no longer be able to be hit through floors [b][u]Miscellaneous[/u][/b] - Acacia tree bugfixes - Rat model bug fixes - Xander's Greataxe fixed to not cause infinite spin-to-win - More silver, gold, and coal placed around Irumesa - Cotton placed near Thistlebrook - Brawler's Rush now interrupts after stunning the target. - Crystallized Hearts now stack to 5 - Arin Winterfang should now exchange 5 crystallized lunarion hearts and 100g for a lunarion mount - Earth Ripper bug fixes - Miniature Vampire Tyrant scaled up slightly - Arcane Brute Taunt now only occurs when the Brute doesn't actively have threat - Cooked meat and fish XP adjusted - Pyreheart and Thundercall recipe bug fixes - Checkboxes in settings bug fixes - Spear Auto-attack animation updated - Ctrl + mouse wheel scroll will now zoom in - Left clicking most objects will trigger the context menu, including on NPCs - Class Icons added - Monster Icons added, will be included in a future patch - Fonts are being overhauled for readability to Asul - Class Distribution has been added to the daily rankings update - Tab Target cooldown was reduced significantly, this was a major annoyance in the past Thanks so much for your support while we continue to build out an amazing MMO for our players.
