Realm of the Mad God Exalt News

[h3]Hello Realmers,
[/h3]
You all know by now that we are soon releasing a new class called Summoner. When we announced it, we asked you: Can you guess the name of the ability? Well, now we answer:

Mace.

And why Mace, you may ask? It’s a ceremonial Mace, not the one that would first come to mind. And it sure fits the look! Earlier in development we considered different names like Scrolls, Rods or Rituals, but Mace felt best to us and wouldn’t contradict with other abilities in the game.

Here is a quick peek at how T0-T7 Maces look currently!


We can assure you, as Summoner, you will be able to spawn cooler creatures than rats. Unless you really like rats. In which case, we also got you covered! Now what those other creatures (a.k.a summons) are, we will leave to your imagination. How many you can guess? / Try to guess as many as possible!

[h3]Hello Realmers,
[/h3]
Throwing a small curveball at you today: our Thursday interview is coming out one day earlier. Today you get the chance to know one of our team members that came from the community: Toastrz. You’ll also learn why he chose such a crispy IGN.

[h3]IGN, Nationality and Age?
[/h3]My IGN is Toastrz, although you may see me on my work account of DecaToast from time to time. I’m from the eastern US, proudly representing almost the entirety of Deca’s American “branch!”

[h3]What is your job? Tell us about it.
[/h3]I’m on the design team alongside Kiddforce, Mrunibro, Menichko, and a growing list of other talented people helping make RotMG’s content. This most...(read the rest at the official blog)

Hello curious Realmers,
We came here today to share a few new sprites with you, made by our talented UGC friends. I’m sure it’ll be pretty easy to guess where are they going… but, can you guess their actual names? (There are a few hints in this post... but some things might have been put there to throw you off scent...).
We also wanted to share with you who are the winners of the Valentine contest, and, of course, let you choose the community winners.

Hello Realmers,
With this hotfix we are taking care of the issue that caused the weekend disconnections. Some Players were spamming abilities and crashing the server. We believe to have countered that method for causing the disconnections.

We also repaired the issue that caused players not being able to log into the game or change character if they last played with Halloween sets.

Thank you for your patience, and stay safe.

[h3]Hello Realmers,[/h3]

Today we bring you the equivalent to seatbelts in cars. Well, better than seatbelts because you can see those. We are making security improvements. Like we said before, we have the whole team committed to fixing the issue that caused the weekend exploits and will be releasing a fix for it soon. This is a programmed release with many fixes for previous issues.

[h3]Fixes[/h3]

• HP and MP potions now cannot be accidentally used if your HP/MP is at 100%.
  
• You will notice the cooldowns of some item effects tooltips (procs) have been changed to show a different value. Actually this is correcting these procs back to be exactly like their 1.3.1 functionality: A lot of proc tooltips were incorrect due to a bug, whose fixing in 1.3.2 accidentally nerfed some of these items, such as Divinity and the Vampire Rogue set.
  
• Adjusted and fixed certain issues in Oryx’s Sanctuary. For example, Beisa is not able to be dragged out of his room anymore, and some of Oryx’s attacks are now more precisely telegraphed. Even so, more work is in the making and we will continue improving this dungeon.
  
• We made it more difficult for toxic behaviors to happen, like opening keys on top of portals that could confuse players, especially in dungeons susceptible to this. Still, please be aware this is a non tolerated behavior as it results in the disruption of the normal gameplay.
  
• User's will not be able to shoot and gain xp from the wall shooting bullets in phase 1 and 3 while engaging with Leucoryx
  
• Fixed an issue that made some assets appear glitched in the new Macbooks with M1 Chips.
  
• Ground elements that have alpha will no longer render as black.
  
• Fixed an issue that gave some users the “Build doesn’t exist” error while trying to load the game.
  
• Typing the euro symbol (€) in the chat no longer causes DC to the player
  
• Updated Mystery ST Crate description
  
• Fixed an issue that allowed items being equipped in incorrect slots
  
• Users should not be able to bypass the realm limit and should stay in the queue
  
• Other minor fixes that don’t affect the gameplay
  

[h3]Misc[/h3]

• Improved Security
  
• Removed change password option from the options menu
  
• There is now an option to turn of Shadow rendering in options menu to increase performance
  
• Implement a button to change servers along with a “Quit” button when the user presses the esc key during the loading Screen.
  
• Item description tooltip remained on the screen when the user pressed ESC key while the tooltip is on from the Nexus Shop
  
• If you used the testing launcher to participate in the previous public testing sessions please remove it. This update allows you to connect to testing from the main launcher if needed.
  

New Cosmetics

[h3]Fame prices update
[/h3]During the next days or weeks, you might notice a change in Fame prices. This update is related to our adjustments based on the new behaviors and rhythm at which players gain Fame with the new Fame system. This adjustment may affect items in Shop, Nexus, Pet Yard (feeding and Pet Yard upgrade) and Bazaar.

[h3]Please note:
[/h3]If you, or anyone near you have been affected by 'keying’, please report to us by sending screenshots / video links of the incident so we can investigate.
