The Castle and Dam are back to what they were before with a few changes to accommodate both the unique aspects of the climbs, while not trivializing the routes.
Unfortunately, the last patch including crampons completely trivialized the majority of the Castle map, and it was unneeded for maps like Seaside and the Dam where there's plenty of opportunities to place safety ropes.
Sorry for the inconvenience. Ultimately, it's impossible to please everyone.
Hopefully these changes should keep the uniqueness of the climbs while not trivializing anything.
Be sure to check them out below, and in-game.
Castle of the Swan King
- Crampons have been restricted again.
- Ropes remain allowed and are no longer limited to 10. Additionally, there have been added wooden beams with lamp posts around the castle which you can use to anchor to. The concrete bits of the castle can also be used to anchor ropes.
Almáttr Dam
- Crampons have been restricted again.
- The platforms as well as the scaffolding should provide enough safety in case you'd like to play safe, while still offering enough challenge and not trivializing the route with crampons.
- Ropes can now be used on both the scaffolding, and the supporting platforms between each segment.
Seaside Tribune
- Crampons have been restricted again. Ropes can still be used across all non-movable wooden parts.
- Added a few extra poles around the middle section.
Bugfixes
- Fixed an incorrect texture on a signpost for Tutor's Tower.
- Potential fix for ice axes releasing grip randomly sometimes when striking destructible ice.
