Feudals,
today's patch is aimed at improving connection between the game and its web services. This should fix some bugs related to "rights" system, trade, and update the Dashboard space.
Character and personal monument
Fixed: the team has restored full functionality of granting access to structures on private claims.
Fixed: the Dashboard character page now shows the correct size of personal claim.
New: the Dashboard character page now has a dedicated section showing “Skills” info.
Fixed: the team fixed a situation which could cause error 500 (blank page) on the character screen in Dashboard.
Trade
Fixed: we restored the ability to sell new food recipes and “Food rations” to the Crown. The new recipes no longer cost 0, but have a dynamic price, like other items.
Fixed: we resolved the issue that corrupted the icons for "Large Work Ration" and "Medium Work Ration" being displayed in the trade post interface. "Small Work Ration" no longer shows a white background.
Fixed: when a player tried to sell items to the “Buy order” with exact quality range (80-80, 100-100) and partial purchase/sale was enabled, they could receive a non-descriptive 816 error. As an interim solution, when a player creates a new buy order: a) If partial purchase is allowed; b) quality is set as exact (minimum quality = maximum quality, any value) - the system automatically widens the range by 1 before saving:
Example: player sets (Q100-100) -> system saves (Q99-100)
N.B: This rule does not apply retroactively. If you had put a “Buy order” with the abovementioned parameters, we suggest that you change it accordingly, otherwise it will most likely fail to proceed.
Fixed: when a player creates a “Buy order”, the text in the window no longer blurs.
Fixed: we have restored functionality for “Buy orders” for regional resources.
Map
The team has made multiple improvements/fixes to the in-game map, i.a.:
the map is now centered when a player opens the window.
the letterboxing is reduced.
the map won’t center on a player without pressing the corresponding button.
when enabling a “guild” layer, a player will see occupied fiefs show colors of the guild they belong to.
when hovering over a monument or an outpost, the text will no longer show vertically.
the icons of monuments and outposts no longer duplicate.
the zoom buttons were replaced with a slider.
hints and pop-ups will now disappear on their own without the need to click on an empty map space.
info about a private claim now fully fits in a corresponding UI box.
if a trading post had not been renamed by the player, it was displayed on the map as «Local Trading Post» instead of its unique sequential name (e.g., «tradepost 246»). This made it impossible for players to locate a specific trading post on the map, as all unnamed posts appeared identical. This issue is now resolved: upon construction, a tradepost is automatically assigned a number.
“View on map" function for locating tradeposts has been restored.
personal claims are displayed for all characters of the account.
both trade post and travel idols are displayed on the map.
Guilds
New: the boards will now display information about the “Guild size”:
Small (1-15 members)
Medium (16-25 members)
Large (26+ members)
Changed: we have split the functionality of the "Guild Members" page into two separate pages: one for managing guild member roles, and another for recruiting (guild invitations).
Fixed: we have added the section which automatically assigns a guild rank when a group builds a monument. According to the rules, rank is updated once a day.
Fixed: we have restored full functionality of changing roles for guild members, and also assigning role permissions to structures.
Fixed: when adding a role to an object's permissions, players could encounter an error: “Error sending request!”. This issue has been solved.
Fixed: some objects on guild territory did not appear in the dashboard, therefore players could not assign rights to them. This issue is now resolved.
Fixed: we have restored the ability to invite a character to a guild using in-game web interface.
Fixed: we have restored the option to grant/revoke rights in the "Manage access rights to monument" tab, including removing the rights to roles.
Combat
New: the team has added a new visual indicator to the in-game map that displays the current IB (Instanced Battle) cooldown for each province. The indicator shows the real-time countdown for when the next IB (totem placement) is possible in that province.
Changed: as non-seasonal “Arden” has no IBs, we removed the “Battle Chronicles” tab from the dashboard for “orange” zone guilds.
Fixed: if a guild were to choose a wrong outpost or a monument when choosing a province to IB, the system would bug out, and they won’t be able to choose the right province to attack. This issue has been resolved
Fixed: when players install a guild monument, they choose two options for their JH prime time. However, there was an issue that, despite choosing different options, only one of them would save in Dashboard. This issue has been resolved.
Fixed: when a player tried to access a guild’s JH times, sometimes they would get an “N/G” message without any times, or the times may differ by one hour. This issue has been resolved.
Technical
Fixed: P2P-option no longer causes a “torrent”-error when updating the “Newbie Island” world.
Changed: the game would download full world data every time a player logs in. Now it will do so only if necessary. This should reduce the time players had spend waiting for a map update while on character selection screen.
New: the team has introduced a profanity filter for player names, guild names, building names, horse names, etc (what @#!%$ buzzkills! 🙄 🤬 )
The Dashboard is a space directly connected to the game, where you can look up info about the server status, perform trade actions, manage "rights", manage guilds and etc. We hope that with today's patch it will become even more viable, while the related systems benefit from much-anticipated update.
