@Updates @everyone
Patch 3.1.1 is up on Steam!
**Notes:**
# Link Items in Chat :Chatting~1:
Right clicking an item in your possession will allow you to select the "Chat" option. This will add a link to that item which can be clicked on by other players to preview the item. Show off your epic drop, sell it, or troll people in chat with inappropriate memes!
* Note - this feature needs a quick patch and is not live yet, but will be soon. :sweat_smile:
# ~100 New Tile Materials & Ambient Lighting :raised_hands:
Getting the world design team equipped with the tools they need to make badass biomes was a big goal for us. With all of the new monsters, these new tiles, and the ambient lights, the quality of areas in the game will start to improve quite a bit! Let us know if there are any cool biomes / themes that you'd like to see in Ethyrial in #general
# Aesthetic Updates :eyes:
We've specifically updated a handful of the most commonly used old tiles, which will increase the visual fidelity of the game. The map colors have been updated to adopt a lighter color palette that is easier on the eyes. Let us know if you like these changes or think they're bad!
**Miscellaneous:**
- Status effect timer bug fix. Status effects should count down properly while offline and not reset on relog.
- the NoiseTex console errors should be gone.
- You should be able to right click player names in Global Chat and whisper/invite to party.
- NPC chat will now open automatically when interacting with nearby NPCs again.
- The Research function on corpses is now removed - we will be adding another system to facilitate this that, such as randomly dropped bones with can be taken to a 'research table' and inspected to gain more knowledge on the monster.
- Adding more basic cooking recipes, such as cooked crab.
- Further updates to SI quest dialogue. Sternbrand and Sara have been updated.
- Meal buffs should now be removed on death.
- Continued progress on Warrens of Thought dungeon.
- Goblins, Scorpions, Elementals, Barbarians, and Half-Orks have had their levels corrected to better align with the flow of progress on Solitary Isles.
**Upcoming:**
- We're working on a "Open Nearby Corpses" feature which will simply open multiple corpse containers in a small radius. You'll still experience that satisfying loot process, but won't have to click every single corpse to do it!
Thanks for your support as we continue to build Irumesa. See you all in game!
