Yarr! We're rolling out a hotfix for some issues with the party system (even more improvements will come in the future), some Junk Ship tweaks and other bug fixes / improvements.
Here are the full patch notes:
Optimisations:
- Optimized client side ship attachment code which should slightly improve FPS
Animations:
- Jumping on a ship now has a proper animation (there was no jump or in-air animation yet on ships)
Gameplay tweaks:
- Junk Ship speed decreased with about 10%
- Normal cannonball projectile speed increased from 7500 to 10000
- Trapshot and anti-cannonball projectile speed increased from 6200 to 10000
- handheld cannonball and swivel cannonball projectile speed increased from 8500 to 10000
- Normal cannonball damage increased from 4 to 5
- Swivel cannonball damage increased from 2 to 3
- Melee range decreased from 190 to 170
- Added some more loot spawns and some more chest spawns on Buccaneer Bay
- Increased fog a bit again in foggy night setting
Party improvements:
- The party leader can now lock the party when the party consists out of at least 3 players (to prevent randoms from joining the party)
- When a party leader now leaves a party the leftover members remain in the party which is re-branded with a random leftover member’s customization instead of being split up into their own parties
Party bug fixes:
- Fixed a bug that caused players of a party to be split into duplicates of the party once in-game
- Fixed a bug that caused players not to auto rejoin their former party when going back to the main menu
Other bug fixes:
- Damage values on broken bottle were incorrect (18) now fixed again to 12
- Fixed a bug that caused the respawn ship camera to sometimes clip though the sail on the junk ship
- Fixed the main menu theme song to be the christmas theme song as intended
- Fixed a bug that caused the new items popup items to go out of bounds due to the popup box not scaling with the amount of items, now it scales accordingly
- Fixed a bug that caused the floating wood crates to jitter when sinking into the sea
