Test Server: Combat changes and updates in testing Continued.

Changes as at 07/08:

  • Fixed priorities on equip actions. Equipping mid combat should now work properly.
  • Increased damage arrows do to boats.
  • Only allow shooting arrows at boats that have a commander.
  • Repairing a boat that has a commander should no longer be possible.
  • Boats speeds should now be updated when damaged or repaired.
  • Tweaked boat speeds to be a bit higher, with QL having a larger impact. (5/13 passengers, 8/13 QL)
  • Removed priest characteristic gain nerfs.
  • Lowered archery difficulty. Please test this one thoroughly in PvP combat, PvE combat and with the different armour penalties.
  • Fixed a bug that made special moves use the wrong hit locations and damage amounts.
    • This is what was causing some special moves to deal way too much damage compared to what they were designed for.
  • Tweaked special moves to be a bit more balanced, and do a bit more damage compared to their original intended design.
    • The damage amounts will still be a lot lower than they are currently, but still high enough in some instances to be worth using.
    • Stun timers have been significantly reduced, with a range between 2 and 4 seconds now. Was between 3 and 9 seconds.
  • Added a stun resistance similar to spell resistance, but with a shorter timer. (2.5 minutes to go from 50% to 0% resistance)
    • Consecutive stuns should have a chance to outright fail depending on the resistance and when the last successful stun occurred.

Unstable Client update 2 July 2016 – Maximum dynamic lights

Todays update to the Unstable client includes a new advanced graphics setting – Maximum dynamic lights.

With this setting you can scale the amount of light sources your client will try to render, with higher numbers being better performance and less lights, and lower numbers meaning more light sources.
