Hi everyone!
We didn’t tell you anything for a while, but only because of hard work and active recruitment.
Anyway, our patch note will tell you more. Be sure, we are proud of it ;)

Have a great weekend, ROG’oms up!

Change list 0.59.680 from 24/06/2021

Game mechanics

General:
1.1 | Added:

• (0.6) Seamless travel - seamless transition between servers in the open world, or, yet, almost seamless :);
• Social animations;
• Faction system for players and NPCs - as an extension of dynamic tag system, that allows NPCs to change their opinions about players and even other NPCs;
• NPC visual equipment system (however, for the time being, you will have to watch naked men again);

1.2 | Changed:

• First person camera shake system (complete refactor);
• Sprint motion controller;

1.3 | Optimised:

• Modular equipment system (complete refactor);

Quest system (0.5):
1.1 | Functionality in general: accept/track in journal/complete;
1.2 | Quest making tool for game designers;
1.3 | All quest data is stored in a database, so that we could:

• change anything without patches;
• for dynamic requirements and rewards (DRR) depending on general game statistics. (e.g.: in the DB we can see how many rabbit skins players currently have, if there are too many, the quest giver will ask for more skins for the same reward);

• Find a location;
• Interact with an object or NPC;
• Kill an NPC;
• Bring items;
• Reach a certain level of character stats;

Resources/Recycling/Craft (0.6):
1.1 | Resource spawn:

• random quality and seasonal characteristics;
• various limits;
• parameters for the count’s influence;

1.2 | Recycling resources into materials:

• including random acquisition of rare metals;
• payments in kind because of count’s influence on recycling;
• Black market, which appears when counts don’t invest in recycling;
• Splitting and merging materials with the help of recycler NPCs;

1.3 | Craft:

• currently, it is available for everyone and is not bound to crafting stations (right ALT to call the menu);
• recipes;
• recipe requirements to profession/magic level;
• simple recipe making tool for game designers;

AI:
1.1 | Added:

• ability to change amount of damage, range, area, and the offset of that area for each animation;

1.2 | Changed:

• Crime system was integrated into the faction system;

Karma and zone system:
1.1 | Zones:

• Open world;
• War zone;
• Safe zone (complete refactor);
• Ability to mix rules within a single zone;
• New display of location names in the top right corner with a color tip on what karma rule is working in this zone;

1.2 | Graveyards:

• Now they work differently depending on player’s amount of karma;

1.3 | Karma (depending on zone and karma):

• Player’s name colour depends on karma;

• Item drop on death;
