[h3]What’s New?[/h3]
This patch brings the addition of a second character slot for everyone, a new dungeon to explore, new sieging mechanics, more rideable mounts and of course lots of bug fixes, quality of life improvements and balance changes!

[h3]Second Character Slot[/h3]

• Added a second character slot, now available on all accounts.
  
• Second character and main character both share one player house.
  
• Removed surname from character creation.
  

[h3]New Dungeon[/h3]

• A new dungeon, the Sylvan Sanctum, can now be found somewhere on Myrland.
  

[h3]Siege Changes[/h3]
This patch includes a new system for how sieging occurs. One of the primary goals of the new system is to increase player participation during sieges, by ensuring both parties have ample time to prepare for and engage with the event.
There are a lot of changes here, and we can't wait to see what you do with them!
Don't forget to give us your feedback about your thoughts and experiences with the new mechanics, as it will help us to improve and refine them wherever necessary.

[h3]Managing Sieges[/h3]

• A new 'Siege' tab can now be found in the Social UI.
  This new UI tab shows the controls for declaring a siege against another guild, as well as viewing pending and active sieges.
  
• You must be rank 6+ (Commander) to declare a siege or respond to a siege declaration.
  
• Declaring a siege costs 500 Gold and 10000 Prominence.
  
• Finished buildings need to exist for 24 hours before being eligible to receive Siege Protection.
  

[h3]Once a siege is declared, the guild being sieged:[/h3]

• Receives a guild-wide fanfare.
  
• Can now see the pending siege in their ‘Siege’ tab of the Social UI.
  
• Is prompted in the ‘Siege’ tab to choose how many hours they wish to delay the siege window by. The maximum number of hours that can be added is 24. If no hours are added, the siege will start 24 hours after the siege was declared.
  
• Must respond to the declared siege within 24 hours or it will start automatically.
  
• Once the guild being sieged has responded with the added hours, the response is sent to the guild who declared the siege, a countdown until the siege starts will be visible to both guilds in the ‘Siege’ UI.
  
• You can only declare a maximum of 10 Sieges at a time.
  
• There is no limit to how many times you can be sieged by other guilds simultaneously.
  
• You can not declare a siege against a guild which you already have a pending or active siege with.
  
• While a guild has a pending or active Siege, Claiming Stones can not be removed from player houses that belong to that guild. This is to prevent guilds from unclaiming their assets once a siege has been declared.
  

[h3]Starting a Siege[/h3]

• Guild members receive a fanfare when the siege window starts and ends.
  
• There are two states, protected and vulnerable.
  
• While protected, every guilded structure has 100% defence bonus regardless of if it is being affected by a nearby Supply Storehouse or Supply Line.
  
• The vulnerability window is 6 hours long, starting from when the siege countdown reaches zero.
  
• When entering the vulnerability window, all affected structure defence bonuses are returned to their normal value. (This means if they were being affected by a Supply Storehouse, they will have this defence bonus)
  
• When the vulnerability window ends, all affected structure defence bonuses are instantly increased to 100%.
  
• If a siege is still ongoing when the vulnerability window ends, the siege is considered a failure and the attackers must try again next time.
  
• Structures which are still “Under Construction” are not invulnerable during the protected window.
  

[h3]Crafting[/h3]

• Added a new light armor set, “Rustic Garments”.
  
• Bear and Taurdog armors are now craftable. Taurdogs use the same equipment as bears.
  
• Increased weight of newly crafted tower shields. Existing tower shields will be retroactively updated in a future update.
  
• Fixed wrong textures on Risar berserker cape when equipped by a female character.
  
• Fixed issue with pet crafting allowing you to be able to craft unreleased equipment in the game. This allowed players to craft bear armors in the previous patch before they were ready for release.
  

[h3]Mounts and Pets[/h3]

• Taurdogs and ritual versions are now mountable.
  
• Cougars, Panthers and ritual versions are now mountable.
  
• Fixed Campodon armor using the wrong icon.

[h3]Magic Combat[/h3]

• The character movement capsule has been removed from the "display name targeting" feature. Previously, this capsule caused confusion among players, as the display name would appear when spells should miss their target. Spell targeting never included the capsule. Now, the target display name will only appear when aiming at someone's body to be consistent with spell targeting.
  
• Ecumenical spells now release instantly the moment you press release instead of being delayed a brief moment.

[h3]Mounted Combat[/h3]

• Fixed a bug causing certain vendor weapons to deal unintended amounts of damage while mounted.
  

[h3]Skills and Clade Gifts[/h3]

Players with both skills maxed out will experience no change in armor weight, but those with lower Heavy Armor Training will have a higher armor weight capacity than previously.
  
• Heavy Armor Training's prerequisite for the Armor Training skill has been reduced to level 0. This means Heavy Armor Training will no longer become disabled if Armor Training drops below effective level 100.
  
• Armor Training & Heavy Armor Training now gain experience no matter if you are encumbered or not, this is to incentivize players to actively play the game while training instead of feeling like they are stuck in town until a certain level is reached in these skills.
  
• Oghmir Pipe usage now drains slightly more health reserves.
  
• Increased Human clade gift 'Cleric' minimum mana regeneration from 20% to 30%.
  
• Added +1kg max armor weight to the Human clade gift 'Well Built'.
  
• Fixed a bug with Projectiles where certain damage reduction steps happened twice. This includes passive damage reduction like Oghmir 'Stoneskin', Thursar 'Styganthrope' and Human 'Tactician', but also buffs like Thursar 'Adamant'. For example: A spell projectile which would have had it’s damage reduced from 50 to 25, would instead reduce it to 12.5 when tactician was involved.
  
• Fixed an issue where AI dealing magic damage & healing would not take passive clade gifts into account. Such as Thursar 'Styganthrope' (this issue did not happen when ai used projectile spells).
  
• Fixed a bug with fishing where swapping weapons would not stop fishing correctly.

Please try the new Frame Generation settings under the AMD method. The crash dumps we receive do not have enough information for us or the team at AMD to isolate the issue. We would be grateful for any feedback by those who are affected in the community.
  

[h3]Game Performance[/h3]

• Force engine garbage collection on main map transitions to ensure the UObject count does not explode from logging out and back into the game. Large UObject counts are bad and cause game hitches during garbage collection and can even crash the game if the UObject count gets too large.
  
• Some minor adjustments to level streaming performance.
  
• Some minor animation optimizations to improve CPU performance.
  

[h3]Server and Networking[/h3]

• Optimized server code for auto-stacking items when you pick up a new item.
  
• Fixed issue that would create small spikes of delay on certain parts of the server.
  

[h3]Known Issues[/h3]

• Some parts of the landscape might turn invisible, but they're still there. We're waiting on Unreal Engine 5.4 to fix this.
  
• We are aware of the login issue that some players are experiencing and are focusing on getting it fixed in the coming days with a hotfix.
  
• 3rd person player gore is currently not showing as intended, meaning you will not see limbs fall of from another player unless you killed him/her. It does however work for AI.
  

[h3]What’s New?[/h3]
Thanks to your input, we've updated the way defending guild territories works. Here's what's changed:

[h3]Guild Territory Defense Update[/h3]

• Now, defense bonuses are specific to each territory building and player home, not overall.
  
• When you check a building, you'll see its defense.
  
• Supply Lines boost defense only for the linked keep and its walls.
  
• Buildings and homes near a Supply Storehouse will gradually increase in defense.
  
• If a Supply Line or Storehouse is taken out, affected buildings will gradually lose their defense boost.
  
• Fixed an issue where NPCs in player-built structures weren't looking in the right direction.
  

[h3]Pets[/h3]

• Adjusted Haven Black Bears to carry the same weight as regular black bears.
  

[h3]Known Issues[/h3]

• Some parts of the landscape might turn invisible, but they're still there. We're waiting on Unreal Engine 5.4 to fix this.
  
• With the defense updates, your guild's defense stats in the UI may decrease to match the new system. This doesn't mean your buildings are less defended. The defense shown on each building is what counts in combat.
  

[h3]Notable Changes[/h3]

• Characters that relog while still in the world will now be instantly shown to other clients, instead of vanishing temporarily while loading in.
  
• Equipment hits to shields now drain stamina. The amount of stamina drained scales with the damage left over after it has been reduced by shield’s defense. This change is one part of a larger shield balance overhaul, with more changes to come in a future patch.
  
• Fixed rare issue where spawners would simply stop spawning. This will hopefully address the issues with many spawners on Myrland not behaving correctly.
  
• Supply Lines now only provide a maximum of +20% Guild Defence regardless of how many your guild controls. We are working on a much more significant overhaul of the Guild Defence mechanic, which will come in a future patch.
  

[h3]Etherworld Combat[/h3]

• Player ether particles are now adjusted to be less intrusive on the screen.
  
• Increased the chance for flux drops on spirits with more orbs.
  
• Optimized the spirits.
  
• Tweaked the range of spirit attacks.
  
• Added extra checks to make sure the correct amount of orbs spawn with each spirit.
  
• Spirit orbs that have been just created will no longer instantly all start attacking you. Instead they start their attack pattern one by one reducing the risk of them instantly draining all your Kau.
  
• Amount of spirits dropped is now split between all damage dealers. If you and your friend each dealt 50% of the total damage you get 50% of the spirits dropped. Both of you have a chance to gain flux but the chance also scales with the amount of total damage done. The spirits will drop after you attack the body of the spirit when all orbs are destroyed, so make sure you have ‘Expel Spirit’ active when you finish the fight.
  
• Spirits no longer spawn in houses.
  
• You now need to catch at least 1 spirit to have a chance to get flux.
  
• There are now effects and sounds when you catch spirits.
  
• There are now effects and sounds when you gather flux.
  
• Transcendental Seance now uses spawned AI instead of any AI for its calculations.
  
• Slightly tweaked the calculations for Transcendental Seance.
  
• Taking Kau damage in the ether now triggers damage indicators.
  
• Fixed bug where tapping attack would deal more damage to spirit orbs than holding a steady aim.
  
• Raised the max level of spirits.
  
• Moved spirits orbs up a bit to avoid them going behind the spirit during combat
  
• Catching spirits now fills up as many spirit boxes as it can. For example catching 200 spirits will now fill up 4 small spiritboxes instead of filling up just one.
  

[h3]Movement and Combat[/h3]

• Equipment hits to shields now drain stamina. The amount of stamina drained scales with the damage left over after it has been reduced by shield’s defense.
  
• Fixed an issue that could cause the attack speed of a former weapon to persist when entering combat with a new weapon.
  
• Fixed a bug that could cause the charge speed to be increased for a short time.
  

[h3]AI[/h3]

• AI should now spawn again in the cave near Meduli.
  
• Spawners can no longer spawn inside of houses.
  
• Added better ways for spawners to keep track of their spawned avatars.
  
• Fixed rare issue where spawners would simply stop spawning. This will hopefully address the issues with many spawners on Myrland not behaving correctly.
  

[h3]UI and Interactions[/h3]

• Fixed arrows stacking with equipped arrows.
  
• Added a new UI element, the "Item Feed", which will display items obtained for a duration, and then fade out. We wanted to modernize our UI related to obtaining items and clean up the chat box a bit.
  
• Fixed issue where in rare cases you would lose money if you paid for something and some of your money was in bags.
  
• Fixed bug with login UI going invisible if you press logout too soon.
  

[h3]Buildables, Houses and Territory Control[/h3]

• Supply Lines now only provide a maximum of +20% Guild Defence regardless of how many your guild controls.
  

[h3]Lighting, Weather and Environment[/h3]

• Fixed problem that caused projectiles to be stuck in invisible walls in some places of the Celaeno Cave.
  
• Fix collision problem on a rock outside Tindrem.
  
• Some optimization for Undercroft dungeon.
  
• Boss room doors at spider queen are now less transparent.
  

[h3]Game Rendering and Performance[/h3]

• Improved level streaming to make sure landscapes load correctly.
  

[h3]Known Issues[/h3]

• Several issues got introduced after upgrading Mortal Online 2 to UE5, some of which are listed below. We are working on identifying and solving the root cause for these issues.
  
• The game sometimes gets invisible landscape patches. You can still run on them normally.
