[5/5/16]Steam Early Access Patch Notes:

Client:

  • Added in Server (region) Selection to client, game will select a server with the most population that isn’t overloaded.
  • We’ve deployed several shards (free transfers within server). This gives you access to more houses as well.
  • Steam beta branch: Added in Sandbox Server Selection on startup (Please note if you select this option it is an unstable testing area)

Skills:

Assassin:

  • Stealth: Fixed the ability so that it properly increases with skill points and with backstab
  • Grappling Hook: Adjusted cooldown to be more in line with other stuns. In a future update we will have diminishing returns on stuns
  • Dual-Wield: Increased the benefit of the offhand from 30 Base / +2 with skill points to 50 base / +5 with skill points
  • Dagger Rain: Properly ensured that skill is damaging enemies based off of effective DPS and reduced CD from 3 minutes to 2 minutes

Brute:

  • Extreme Training: Changed the description so that players have a better idea of where to place the second piece of armor

Items:

  • Changed the description for beneficial potions to show that you can only have one activated at a time.

Bug Fixes:

  • Fixed an error where Guild Leaders couldn’t remove their clone from steam account merging
  • Fixed an error where soulbound items couldn't be equipped after a steam account was merged
  • Fixed an issue where the Wiki link wasn't working unless you had the quest in your quest window.
  • Fixed an issue where the quest accept SFX would play to everyone on the map (now only plays to you)
  • FIxed an error where it showed that players had a 2H weapon equipped when they did not
  • Fixed an error where other people were able to edit your guild recruiter

Quests:

  • Added some quests in the desert area
  • Disabled Jester Quest (Still designing a boss)

Misc:

  • Added note to redeemables tab in Cash Shop to show that lets players know that they can only redeem on the US-1 Server. This is not region locking, just a limitation in the redeemable database. Anyone can log into US-1 and should have acceptable pings.
  • Adjusted the monster respawn rate to work with increased server load.
  • Added Cash Shop button next to the chat window.
  • Remove the “Steal” option when right clicking players.
