It was a bit of a slow week on our side. As these things happen, there simply were too many distractions. Still we managed to fix a fair number of bugs and add an option to disable controller support entirely. Next week we’ll pick up the pace of those fixes a notch or two once more!
New Features
- Option to disable controller support entirely.
Bug Fixes
- The flowshard sword you get from the flow elemental has no encumbrance.
- Ratskin boots can have positive, rare, and negative qualities.
- When you gain fatigue during climbing it is not applied twice.
- Caught another instance where ferocious and other status effects granted by equipment could incorrectly wear off.
- The shadowglade constraint failing to resolve automatically is no longer flagged as critical.
- When loading a save the ‘fire burning’ flag is ignored because the campsite is not saved either.
- The recharging effect is added to spears, axes, and quarterstaves that have 1 or more sky sigils.
- The feeding effect is added to spears that have 2 root sigils.
- The brittle rocks in gates at the ancient bathhouse are just as difficult to destroy as the regular brittle rocks.
- Frequently changing levels within a site doesn’t throw the water data out of sync causing invisible walls over water.
- The Mighty Gift achievement no longer requires the obsolete magentol mine map and instead unlocks when you inform a clan about the magentol mine.
- Replacing a missing bookshelf in temple Duskfeather in new worlds that is linked to unlocking an achievement.
- Random content options cannot choose curated world, experimental content, or latest content options.
UPDATE 17 NOVEMBER:
As promised, today patch 1.5.11 will arrive on the beta branch on Steam and the QA branch on Epic. If you like to check out what we have been up to this is your chance!
The main course of this update overhauls the underlying systems for quests and rumors completely. I am not saying much about it as it all should be self-explanatory. However, it is still a work in progress. Most regular rumors have been adapted to the new system. Many of the main quest lines still need to be adapted. So far only the temples quest, and the serpent gates quest should follow the new regime.
There is also another big change that I will leave for you to discover on your own. That way we can see if those changes are also actually clear enough.
In any case, it is best to create a new world if you plan on trying out the beta.
I've added two dedicated channels here to report bugs and discuss the changes.
