If you are interested in keeping up to date with more information you can join the discord I have setup. https://discord.gg/Tw2cF9w. Sometimes I won't write patch notes for weeks but the discord I am very active.
Here is a summary of what is in this patch.
- Database wipe. Your characters will remain but your save will be wiped. Due to massive changes and not having a wipe for months, I felt it was time to reset. If possible I would reinstall the game as well.
- Updated skills. Skills now are stronger and some have more utility. This should make for ways to make more unique characters.
- Skill reset now costs 250 gold.
- New buff effects and most should show up on the buff bar as well.
- Updated game models to utilize more "bones". This will make clothing and armor not clip as much through the body.
- New input system. You can now change WASD movement.
- Changed lots of enemies stats and abilities.
- Added a couple new skills.
- Added a few new items.
- Added NPCs again in town. They will now talk sometimes as well. Very buggy on multiplayer servers but works great on private server. Will be working on this and looking for a fix asap.
- You can now place house property anywhere that is flat enough and far enough from certain objects. You can buy a property deed at the blacksmith and houses from the woodworker. You also get a house recall that will work every 5 minutes.
- Lowered thunder sound and slowed weather transitions to be more seamless.
- Major weapon balance changes. This should provide more incentive to use daggers or one hand axes.
- Several bosses added to random camps that will spawn after killing a certain amount of enemies.
- Added 20 new minor artifacts that can drop from bosses.
- Added a few new procs for weapons and armor and increased drop chance.
- Lots more updates over the last couple weeks.
- Lots of minor bug fixes per usual.
