Changelog v.0.8.8.8.5
Quality of Life:
– Added the second stage of the Sea Wraiths world event: The Abandoned Route which extends its location with new type of environment – tropical canyon inhabited by just-added hippos; reminder – this event is started by collecting the Map Fragments obtained from Sailors, Corsairs and Slave Hunters and bringing them to the Bounty Hunter who can be found in each nation’s capital city; the event requires a 5-man large party to join it (max 1 party per nation, limit is 2 groups at once) and is a good source of Sulfur, Calcite, Quilted Flax Canvas and Bandages
– Significantly reduced the occurrence of attacks and detecting the attack input when the server’s FPS is reduced
– From now on, after jumping, falling down, sliding down the slop and swimming a character will be slowed down for a while, as in the combat state, in order to prevent spamming jumping to evade combat
– From now on, rewards for the crafting events are given only to players who gained 2 or 3 stars – this change was made in order to prevent exploiting these events by simply standing in their area when they ended
– Updated the non-looting zones placed in the siege camps and spawnpoints at minor flags
– Improvements to the Rite of the One world event
– Improved rewards in the starting Sangmarian quests to mirror rewards in their Midlandic and Ismirean equivalents
– Visual improvements to the starting Sangmarian quests
– Removed wolves from the Volkvar Farm’s farming field
– Udpated the arrows indicating nearby quests on the minimap, replacing them with the quest marker symbols
– Removed unused spawnpoint North of the Lord Wraths’ Abbey
– Added possibility to invite a player to the dice game when he/she is playing with the Innkeeper
– Added gaining character experience for playing a dice game
– Minor improvements to the dice game
– Improved the calculation for stamina drain when swimming to secure it against possible exploits
– Many smaller improvements to the starting quests
