Toggle Staff Mantosh Posted May 21 Toggle Staff Share Posted May 21 Hi everyone, Today's update bundles a long pass of bug fixes, quality-of-life improvements, a balance pass on Queen Ant and Core, and behind-the-scenes work. Highlights below. Bug Fixes Drop fairness. Reward groups now roll evenly across all items in the group. Previously, the first item in a group was rolled disproportionately often. If you have felt like certain drops "never roll," this fix is for you. Teleporting with .town commands from inside instances now correctly leaves the instance, so you can re-enter normally afterwards. Deadly Bleed no longer gets "stuck" on a character; it expires after growing in levels and intensity first. Fixed the healing effect of Body of Avatar and Chant of Victory to now heal after the HP is increased Knoriks' respawn timing is adjusted (10 minutes). Previously, it could feel like the elite was missing after a kill. Queen Ant Larva no longer dies on its own under certain rare conditions. Buff Store [Select] now verifies you are in range before the buff is cast. The MoS NPC Sumiel now has an English dialogue as well. Quality of Life Buff Store Select shows class names. When you open Select on a Buff Store, party members are listed with their class so you can pick the right target quickly. Baium party-leader follow entry. Party members now follow the leader on Baium instance entry, so the party stays together at the gate. Disconnect detection. Conditions used to detect disconnects have been tightened to reduce spurious kicks. Balance and Content Per-server tuning hooks for QA and Core. Queen Ant, Queen Ant Guards, Core, and Core Guards stats (HP, P.Atk, M.Atk, P.Def, M.Def, minion count) can now be tuned per server via configuration. Today's patch shouldn’t introduce big changes to balance and uses a similar baseline; future adjustments will go through these knobs. Feedback is greatly appreciated. Multisell stages. The multisell system now supports staged releases, so vendor stock can be expanded as the server progresses. Luxury Weapon and Luxury Armor lists ship with stages. Party Distribute is Premium-only. Party item distribution is now restricted to Premium accounts. Behind the Scenes This batch of updates also includes a significant set of changes to the source structure, build processes, the separation and distinction between different servers (Erica vs Kain), and testing tools. This took a great deal of time and effort, even though it should have had close to no changes to in-game features. These changes will allow us to deliver future updates faster and at a more consistent rate. Thanks for playing, and as always, report anything that looks off in our usual channels. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
