As its been over a month since the last push on the main branch of the game wanted to get the majority of the update there as there has been a lot of bug fixes over the course of the month. The patch notes are all listed at the bottom.
In the meantime here is a bit of a status update on update 1.
- 50% of the new events have been implemented focusing on the characters themselves. This has more rewards and specializes some of the content around the classes as well since the previous events were meant to be very generic. More content will be focused around the party and the fame/interactions going forward. When world events are in more as well you will start to see them become more specific as well.
- New quest type is being implemented. More details on that will be soon.
- Weapons will soon all have a damage type, slashing, bash etc. This will play into the combat vulnerabilities and will be showcased very soon. This will make the weapons more unique going forward aside from the damage numbers.
- Loot tables are also being revised for a lot of the current drops. This should provide more chances to improve your loot as well, as well as giving some of the harder enemies some magic equipment as rewards as well.
The demo has also been updated with the fixes listed below as well as some of the content. The demo length however has been reduced due to many of the speedups for the game.
The patch notes are below:
[h2] V.6.2 [/h2]
Camera * Added additional weight to the camera to accelerate over time when next to the edge of screen and using WASD for panning.
Enemies *Multiple NPC creatures now have differing movement speeds. You will see mounted riders, wolves, creatures that can fly etc. have much further movement capabilities. The ability to anticipate and see this without experimentation will come later
