Major Updates and New Features
A pretty substantial update today containing some significant progress on items and loot as well as some performance optimization and an engine update to UE 5.5. Because of the engine update the download for this patch will be big as most of the files changed.
- Amulets: Introduced a new gear item, amulets, which give a damage absorbing shield that recharges rapidly when out of combat.
- Selling: You can now sell items to the sect quartermaster.
- Trading: You can now trade with other players
- Sword Kill Tracking: Swords now track how many enemies they have killed. In the future this will tie into the system for upgrading them.
- DLSS 4: Added DLSS 4 and multi-framegen support
- Optimization: Did a fair amount of optimization work. Also added toggle for many performance effecting features as well as 240 and 360 fps cap options.
- Combo Feint: You can now hit feint during the combo window and stop your attack at that point.
- Tutorial Flask: The Lost Soul in "Beginnings" now drops a simple flask the first time you kill him. For existing players that have killed him before, he will appear to drop two flasks but only one will be stashed. For anyone killing him for the first time everything will work as expected.
Thanks as always for all the feedback, particularly on the performance related items. It is invaluable—thank you for being an integral part of this journey! Stay tuned for the next update.
