Mortal Online 2 News

Greetings Mortals!

In this patch we have another slew of fixes and improvements that aim to improve the core experience of Mortal Online 2.

Some notable changes include adjustments to the attribute points that the Khurite, Kallard, and Huergar receive. This will grant additional flexibility to players who opt into these clades.

We have also adjusted the way Transcendental Awareness and Ether combat function. Most notably, Spirits are no longer able to see living players. This is to prevent players in spirit form from scouting groups of players without any risk.

This update also features fixes for some long standing issues. Domination will now function as intended. We encourage all adventurous tamers to try their hand at dominating exotic and dangerous creatures that they may come across in their journeys.

We have also implemented a tentative fix for the invisible weapon issue that may occur at times. We are still actively investigating and monitoring this issue but going forward it should be less frequent.

In addition to fixes and changes, we have added a new batch of points of interest locations for you to explore. And last but not certainly not least, the city of Fabernum now has a dark and dangerous new Sewer for adventurers to explore. Be careful as you venture down into the underbelly of Fabernum!

Lastly, an issue related to mounted combat that was introduced in the previous patch has now been fixed. We apologize for not addressing this sooner. Going forward we will be able to fix similar issues in a much more timely manner.

Take a look at the full list of changes and fixes below. And as always, let us know what you think!

See you in Nave.

Greetings Mortals!

This patch brings with it a myriad of fixes and improvements to several aspects of the game. Most notably, this patch will introduce a tentative fix for the ghost player problem. An issue where players would sometimes appear in multiple locations at once.

While the team is still firmly focused on fixing and polishing the game, that does not mean we don't have at least a few new things to share with you!

For starters tower shields are being added, a new type of shield that is much larger than their existing counterparts. Alongside these new shields comes an update to shields as a whole that will update their role within the game.

In addition to the tower shields, our first points of interest batch arrives to Myrland. Keen adventurers may now run into new and exciting locations throughout the world. These new locations vary in both size and scope. Be sure to take a look, who knows what you may find?

Furthermore, a peculiar researcher has appeared outside of the Descensus monastery, who will exchange items for the curiosities found within. Beyond what they have available to trade, such a bookish individual may very well have information that would help one obtain coveted knowledge of esoteric practices.

Take a look at the full list below and as always let us know what you think!

See you in Nave.

Known Issues
These issues were detected just as we were ready to deploy the patch. We would have to rerun our whole testing process to include them and we don’t want to delay the patch another week. We are sorry for the inconvenience.

• The game settings for DLSS and FPS limit gets reset each time you login to the game world. DLSS is turned off and FPS locked to 60 FPS. You need to manually change them back after you enter the game. This happens because we need to lock the FPS in the main menu and that change accidentally persists after entering the game.
  
• EAC can sometimes be a bit slow to initialize causing you to fail to login. Please wait a couple of seconds before pressing the login button if this happens.
  
• Deleting your character and trying to login afterwards can cause you to fail connecting to the server. Restart the game if this happens.
  
• Playing the game for a long time can cause it to get various lowlevel engine crashes in DX12 mode. It keeps happening even when you start a new session of the game. We recommend restarting your PC if this happens as it will fix the issue. We are investigating why this is happening with DX12.
  

We recommend installing the latest drivers and not overclocking PC components if you are experiencing frequent crashes. We are still seeing players having recurrent driver related crashes due to overclocking and can’t do anything about crashes caused by the driver shutting down or causing a GPU timeout in the operating system.

Greetings Mortals!

This patch contains a handful of changes and fixes that should alleviate some of the issues found throughout Myrland.

With this update comes a fix for the issue where player owned buildings would sometimes disappear after a server reboot, as well as several other notable fixes.

We have also made some adjustments to clade gift xp sharing between damage dealers and healers. The intention is to make it as fair as possible, feedback regarding this is welcome.

This patch also adjusts the difficulties of both the Ultumeki and Necromancer bosses. They should now be a fair bit more challenging, so all adventurers are encouraged to pay them a visit.

Greetings Mortals!

This is our largest patch to date and it contains a significant amount of new content, changes, fixes, and improvements to all areas of the game.

First and foremost, you can now explore our latest magic school and try your hand at raising powerful creatures! With the addition of Necromancy, many new options are presented to players interested in the darker side of magic.

Perform gruesome rituals, combining the carcasses of various creatures with mystical artifacts in order to create the most powerful minions possible. Cast fearsome spells that blind and disorient your enemies and send your undead minions to finish the job.

Necromancers who truly hone their craft may even be able to summon the putrid and fearsome Tupilak. A grisly abomination made of flesh and bone, ready to wreak havoc upon its master's enemies.

All of this is possible with the latest Necromancy magic school!

Need a place to try out your new nefarious powers? Why not search for the new dungeon that has been added somewhere out in the world? Rumor has it that this new place holds many new secrets and unforeseen perils. Beware that not everything is as it seems..

Next up is a new boss that has been added which is the first entry into our 'massive' category. This fearsome creature awaits you somewhere deep in the remote parts of Myrland. Best of luck to those foolhardy enough to venture into its domain..

With the addition of several new places to explore, how about doing so while dressed in a way that shows your adversaries that you mean business? Crafters may now create legendary armor pieces with new intricate designs that set you apart. In addition to this, legendary shields are also being made available to craft for those intrepid adventurers who want the best of the best.

Lastly we have a myriad of changes and fixes that affect all areas of the game. Such as improved mount behavior and expanding on AI behaviors which allow them to be much more complex than previously possible.

Take a look at the full notes below and let us know what you think!

See you in Nave.
