Weekly update 260 – Your weekly dose of patchnotes!
Greetings, Warriors!
This week we were working hard on some upcoming features and continuing to address your feedback and reports! We are still working on the client engine upgrade since we faced some difficulties that need to be resolved before we can finish that task. After that, we will move to the next thing that the new engine will unlock – cluster system, to improve server load and to improve stability, performance, and optimization of the game. We overcame the issues we found so the task is nearing the happy end.
Our designers and coders are preparing player-made stalls, which will create the possibility to create your own shops and collection points! In addition to that, you will be able to trade horses!
Another interesting feature of stalls will be the possibility of automated distribution of items – for example, bandages or warm food – between players. You will be able to offer items without a price, and limit the number of items that one player can take from the stall, so everyone will be able to share supplies in a faster and more efficient way than trading each player manually when the time is important – during sieges or events. It will be a great addition to the ingame economy and create a new type of market and activity!
We are also introducing a small new feature related to Supporter Shop – Players will now be able to choose one of three additional rewards after their next (first from now) Ambers purchase. Each account can receive a bonus reward once. Thank you all for supporting the project!
Let’s check this week's changelog, and see you in battle!

[h2]Quality of life[/h2]
– Added a possibility to turn off the enemy or ally nameplates completely for FPS performance improvement on large scale battles
– From now on, the game is remembering the last zoom position of the world map between game sessions.
– From now on, you can use left and right arrow keys to switch tabs in the character creation screen. You can also use up and down arrow keys to navigate in the character selection screen to choose the character you want to play with. And you can hit Enter to login into the game with the chosen character
– Added a warning of active Caps Lock on the ingame login screen
[h2]Fixes[/h2]
– Fixed an issue causing players on foot sprinting or horse riders riding uphill could partially fall under the ground from the perspective of other players
– Fixed an issue causing arrows/quiver UI were not refreshing properly after changing the bow
– Fixed an issue causing the last arrow could not be regenerated, despite having all archery related skills
– Fixed an issue causing wrong numbers of guards spawned on Temples last gates.
– Fixed the issue causing the wrong icon of 2000+ nation points buff. It could be mistaken for a Survival Instinct top tier skin icon
– Fixed a dialogue bug in quest “Sanctuary profaned” which was giving one of the tasks too quickly in a result
– Fixed the dialogue of Haldor in Ismir's optional quest “Take the Chieftain!”. There was an edge case where players couldn't take the reward for the quest
– Fixed the dialogue of Viator in Sangmar quest “The adventurous four”. Players couldn't proceed with that after the last changes in questline
– Fixed the position of reward marker in Ismir quest “Fall of the Raubritter”
– Fixed the issue causing destroyed siege engines could slowly ascend into the air before disappearing
