[p]More bug fixes and some new quests for you all. It slipped under our radar that the Act V quests we made had an issue and were not in the game at all. You now have proper quest tracking right up until the end of the game, and for all cursed dungeons too. [/p][p]~ Julian
[/p][h3]+ New Additions:[/h3]

• [p]Added new Act V quests and new cursed dungeon quests.[/p]

[p][/p][h3]~ Balancing Changes:[/h3]

• [p]Harvest Moons will now spawn more enemies due to a bug being fixed that altered their spawning to be lower. More info below. This does not affect the enemies spawned at resource outposts, only the ones spawned on islands/around your home. [/p]

[p][/p][h3]! Bugs fixed and changes made:[/h3]

• [p]Fixed enemy spawning bug that was making Harvest Moon's spawn too few enemies. This was especially noticeable for people with houses near the water or on small islands.[/p]
• [p]Various enemy behaviour changes to make fleeing better and improve navigation on player-built structures.[/p]
• [p]Fixed Void Boar getting stuck if the encounter reset while it was changing phase.[/p]
• [p]Added \Lightstone Crown\ to list of armor to unlock for the completionist quest.[/p]
• [p]Arrows no longer damage bushes or crops, which also makes ballista bows more effective and prevents their bolts from getting stuck in your farms.,[/p]
• [p]Tweaked the fog and sky settings to look better now that the camera can look into the horizon.[/p]
• [p]Made dungeon markers pulse when they are next on the quest objectives. This makes the dungeon locations more obvious to new players. [/p]
• [p]Various translation fixes.[/p][p][/p]

[h3]! Bugs fixed:[/h3]

• [p]Fixed characters missing in the Traditional Chinese translations[/p]

[h3]! Bugs fixed:[/h3]

• [p]Fixed bugged titles sometimes incorrectly showing after repairing bridges.[/p]
• [p]Fixed issue that allowed player to get into a bugged 0 HP state and not be able to die or heal.[/p]
• [p]Made dropped backpacks cursor zone bigger so they are easier to pickup. [/p]

[h3]! Bugs fixed:[/h3]

• [p]Fixed the location titles and level-up titles glitching out for some players, or not correctly displaying the level number.[/p]
• [p]Added many missing characters in Simplified Chinese and Traditional Chinese, fixing the broken character symbols when typing in a world or character name.[/p]
• [p]Fixed the yellow artefact circles on the map sometimes not disappearing after unlocking an item.[/p]
• [p]When balancing the XP in a recent patch, this made the next level you achieve take a much longer time to attain than it should. We fixed this so it doesn't happen in the future if we ever need to balance Xp rates.[/p]
