NEW MAP: NETTLE CAVERN
As part of today’s update, we’ve added a new map with a twist. Welcome to Nettle Cavern!
Nettle Cavern is an adventurer’s playground where you can practice and experiment with new tactics. Here, you’ll be able to explore the combat potential of companions, party compositions, and Formations in The Waylanders’.
The purpose of Nettle Cavern is to provide a practice area for your party. Winning battles found in this extensive cave won’t provide gold or XP, but enemies will be waiting every time you return to the cave. As you gain experience in the game, you’ll be able to return to Nettle Cavern to try new strategies, abilities, and formations of your leveled up characters.
Nettle Cavern will be available once you have completed the quest called "Back to Life".
Keep in mind that you can save your game in Nettle Cavern. You can repeat a specific combat anytime you want. We invite you to experience new combat strategies at Nettle Cavern and share them with the community!
HOW TO PLAY: NEW TUTORIALS ADDED
We’ve added new tutorials at the beginning of the game during the mission "Journey to Inisfail". These tutorials will help players better understand certain key elements of the game, such as the Codex or the mini-map.
We have added two Codex entries in the “how to play” section to complement the new tutorials.
GAME EXPERIENCE IMPROVEMENTS
- We have added autosave points every time you visit the ship to avoid having to repeat certain parts of the story whenever you experience a game crash
- We have added new autosave points, triggered by completing certain important milestones in the "Back to Life" mission
- We have improved game flow of the mission "Back to Life". Now, objectives are more clear and understandable
MAJOR BUG FIXED
Some users experienced a bug which freezes the game due to memory instability. This is now fixed. As memory leaks are complex, it could happen again and we are monitoring for future instances. Please contact us via Steam forum if you find this issue during your game again.
THE WAYLANDERS IS IN CONSTANT IMPROVEMENT
Many of the new features introduced in this update are previews, prototypes, and early releases of some things we haven't included in the Early Access yet. We will report new improvements soon!
KNOWN BUGS
Some users reported the enemies stand still without attacking in some situations. We are investigating this. The quick solution at this time is to save your game and reload it. Quick travelling to a different map location and coming back works too.
