Patch Info


Recommended Level: 21-23 for the intended experience

Summary

Praise be, the sounds have arrived! This update is mostly to find any new bugs before the Stable update hits this weekend, but also adds a couple of crafting items and some new items for the shops!

Details

Fark, our sound guy, has finally slogged through the last Tai Ming batch and thus the zone is basically complete! This Frontline update is just an extra net to catch stray bugs that might've slipped through. Also, one quite rare crash bug in particular has gotten some extra diagnostics.

Apart from the sounds, two new weapons can be crafted, and a new shield will be added as the update comes to Stable this weekend! Also, the Tai Ming shops have gotten a few new items.

If you want to replay the patch, you can reset the entire zones or parts of it by using the following commands (contains spoilers, so don't read until you've finished the patch):

/taiming3reset - Resets the entire last area and puts you back in zone2
/zhamlareset - Resets the battle against Zhamla
/mimicreset - Resets the battle against the Mimics

What's next?


This weekend, the Stable branch should get the entire Tai Ming arc in one big, fat blob. Until then we'll squash any new bugs that get reported, and continue the preparations for the non-story content that lies up ahead!

Examples of non-story content:
  • Player Housing
  • Arcade Mode Updates
  • Support Skills
  • Skill Balancing
  • ...and other stuff!


We'll provide more info on what's going to come after Tai Ming when the Stable has been updated!
