Lobby Setting Improvements

[p]Hello shopkeepers![/p][p][/p][p]We're bringing you another bug fixing and stability patch to resolve some reported issues while we continue developing the next major patch behind the scenes.[/p][p][/p][p]This patch does have a couple minor QoL improvements that I wanted to highlight.[/p][p][/p][h2]Lobby Difficulty Settings UI Pop-Ups[/h2][p][/p][p]This is something I've wanted to bring to you all since we released the lobby difficulty options and am excited it's available now. The options will now show a small pop up explanation of what it is so you can be more informed when adjusting your lobby settings.[/p][p]These pop-ups are also available in the wrench menu once you're in-game.[/p][h2][/h2][h2]Combat Blocking Teleport Setting[/h2][p][/p][p]Speaking of lobby difficulty settings, we have a new one for you! You can now turn off the limitation to teleporting when enemies are attacking you.[/p][p]We originally implemented combat blocking your ability to teleport to keep some difficulty within the system of being able to teleport whenever you want to.[/p][p]We realized that we now have a lot of adjustable difficulty settings, and some players have said they'd prefer not to be limited when they want to teleport, so we added the option to turn off this setting and make it so you can teleport even when enemies are closing in.[/p][p]This setting is disabled by default on Peaceful, Easy, and Normal difficulties.[/p][p][/p][h2]Clearer Unique NPC Death Notifications[/h2][p][/p][p]When you kill an important NPC who will respawn automatically, you'll now see a message stating that they will rebirth using Telemed.[/p][p]This message used to tell you that the NPC would remember that, which was intended to inform you that the NPC would be respawning and was important. But it wasn't clear what exactly was going on because the NPCs didn't tell you they were upset you killed them or anything.[/p][p]I've adjusted this message to inform you exactly what's going on: this NPC is going to respawn, and they are important, so you may want to talk to them![/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]I hope these small changes smooth out some rough edges for some of you, and along with the bug fixes below, stabilize the experience to maximize fun.[/p][p]We're excited to bring you the next patch as soon as it's ready! We're planning to release a test build of it before making it publicly available. If you'd like to check it out early and give us some feedback, please keep an eye on our official Discord![/p][p]Happy shopkeeping![/p][p][/p]

Small Hotfix

[p]Hi shopkeepers![/p][p][/p][p]This is a small hotfix with no version number change for dedicated server compatibility.

Any additional information you have about how it happened helps a lot.[/p][p][/p][p]Apologies for the inconvenience to anyone who experienced this bug.[/p][p][/p][h3][/h3]
