🛠️ Early Access Patch Notes - Together Hotfix 8
Hey folks,
This update brings performance improvements, combat tuning, and a round of fixes shaped by player feedback. Before we head down the final stretch toward 1.0 launch, we wanted to get this into your hands.
Regarding the issue that hit certain users causing their realms to become hidden – we had already deployed a partial fix to prevent this issue from happening again but now, with the maintenance period before this hotfix, we’ve also fixed all accounts that had hidden realms as well (also yes the servers are back up!).
If you have any concerns/suggestions or are looking for players to play co-op with, please head over to No Rest for the Wicked official Discord or official Forums, we are all ears.
🛠️ Performance:
Added pool pruning to clear pools in Main Menu and improve performance on subsequent sessions
Fixed certain pooling leaks
🛠️ Quality of Life:
SFX adjustments for rune swapping
Rune swapping now supports unique weapons as well (you still cannot destroy runes/place new runes in unique weapons)
Improved Ilaria’s Stamina runes’ animations if they are used in Bows
Further improvements to the Realm Diary feature

Players are now able to be backstabbed in duels

Damage is now calculated based on the damage received, instead of the enemy level

Thistle Ring damage has been reduced to be more in line with the changes to Thorns
