Login & Character Creation Improvements
@Bardcore and @Chisme tag-teamed to deliver you all a much higher fidelity login and character creation UI. We hope this will make a positive first impression on new and returning players regarding the quality of the game
We've reduced the amount of steps and improved the user experience by minimizing excessive buttons and distractions from the process as well. Please let us know if you have any feedback to improve things!
Next week, they'll be pumping on the in-game HUD and potentially conversation bubble improvements!
Miscellaneous:
- Item Links are now working in chat! It's been really awesome to see players using this to share their items. Seeing some chat trolling with the system warms my heart.
- Research is now adjusted so monsters can only be researched once per kill. Monsters will only have the research option until the player has fully researched them in the monster dex. We can keep this in until getting the research bones ready to add to all mobs.
- Arin Winterfang has appeared outside of Ardholm, riding a Frost Lunarion. Players have requested that we have multiple ways to earn mounts and she will exchange a mount for 5 Crystallized Lunarion Hearts in the future. For now, if anyone wants to trade just PM me.
- The Chromatic Band is now fully craftable and requires level 40 to equip! We plan to add another small benefit soon, which will appear in game with a future restart.
- There is a small bug with class names at the moment, some players will have their classes registered as numbers on login or in-game. We will fix this shortly and your class is totally fine, it's just a visual bug.
- Window Position Saving: Most elements, such as the chat box, player / target frames, and the combat utility will now save their position between logins, allowing you to customize your UI to your liking.
- The Eternal Flame Insignia should now properly have an icon.
- Continued Dialogue improvements by @Winterslice! He's been doing an excellent job improving the early quests on SI. Let us know if you encounter any bugs or issues and we can fix. He'll be knocking out the tutorial very soon.
- Fishing has had a bit of a rework with how it flows. When casting in open water, you'll see a 30 second timer but will stop fishing with each catch. Hotspots will allow you to continue fishing for the full duration and offer a more noticeable bonus to catch rates. We will be adding lures soon, which will give another source of this bonus. Lastly, during the period of the Red Moon (Augem) players will have an additional bonus.
- @bacoustrips & @schreeder have gotten started on the foundation for Guilds. We're really excited to bring this system to players, so please let us know any feedback or ideas that you may have!
- @Sprocket is working on the bank system cleanup, which will include a bunch of QoL features to make banking much more user friendly!
Thanks for your support while we work on a lot of foundational content for the game. We are really excited to get back to pumping out in-game content and creating a rich world for our players. See you in game!
