Life is Feudal: MMO News

Hello, Feudalists!

We’ve received your feedback regarding our latest update and considered it carefully. The topic of /stuck command was a hot one and we have spent a good amount of time figuring out how to best approach this issue to resolve it in the best way possible. The solution to this problem is already in production and we’ll deliver it in an upcoming update. More details will follow as we release this patch within the next couple of weeks.
There’s also some good news that will certainly improve the mood of the Steam users. We are working on the launcher improvements for clients on Steam platform, which should significantly reduce the time needed to download and update the client.

The next thing we want to mention is a known issue that is of high concern to the LiF community, particularly a number of individuals that resorted to cheating in our game with the use of third party software in order to gain an unfair advantage over others. We’ve recently suspended accounts of those players abusing said illegal software and more punishments will follow for all players that will run their game clients with this mod enabled. Account suspension for the accounts banned early this week will be lifted in 3 months, in March 2020. Should the incident repeat on these accounts after the ban is lifted, the next will be permanent. We will continue enforcing fair play in Life is Feudal: MMO, so all players can enjoy balanced gameplay where everyone is on the same playfield.

Now for the community spot!

Hello, Feudalists!
Starting with the dev progress - We have just recently released an update with some tweaks and long-awaited changes. One of the most notable and highly demanded combat mechanics adjustments was disabling the ability to wield two shields at the same time. We have also further tweaked lag compensation mechanics and will continue to observe the effectiveness of those changes. You can check the full list of the recent fixes and tweaks in our patch notes.

There’s another thing happening this week, and that’s Black Friday! We already have some great discounts in our shop. We’ve got several of them planned for the rest of the week, so don’t forget to check on what’s available!


Black Friday isn’t the only thing to keep you busy this weekend, though. We want to remind you about an upcoming Grand Knight Tournament that will start tomorrow, 30-11-2019 at 17:00 UTC. You can still register for transfer (both ways) by filling in this form. Note that the transfer registration will be closed today at 20:00 UTC, so if you want to be teleported to the coliseum, make sure to register before that time. Details about the competitions and rewards can be found in our previous devblog and our discord mmo_event_feed channel.


Please note that the NPC commemorating Dannara was slightly repositioned and is now located in front of the school within the same starting village in s31.


Thanks for all the feedback and have a great weekend everyone!

Hello, Feudalists!

Today, we’re bringing you some experimental changes. We want to see how well are they going to bode into the current gameplay meta before settling on on them for good. This means we’re gonna need your feedback to see how you feel about those changes!
And now, for the full list of updates:

• /stuck command has been disabled
  
  • Developer’s comment: With the climbing system implemented, it seems that this command gives more abusing power than it does help in-game. We want to see whether it’s worth it to keep it in the game or not.
• Only one shield can be equipped by a player
  
  • Developer’s comment: The double-tower-shield turtling is something that, in our opinion, favors one gameplay style over the others. We intend to fix that with this change.
• Damage resist of wooden walls has been decreased from 150 to 130
  
• Blast damage from a sapper charge has been increased
  
  • Developer’s comment: Wooden walls should not provide such strong protection against sapper charges, as they do now. Those updates will work in pair to fix that.
• An NPC to commemorate Dannara Stella has been added to Zathum-Zar starting village
  
  • Developer’s comment: We wrote about the loss of our player a couple of dev blogs back. Now we’re bringing her to the game as an NPC, so that her friends could have a way to remember her any time they log in.

• Lag compensation system has been tweaked
  
  • Developer’s comment: We’re aiming to bring a more enjoyable in-game combat with this change, so let us know how it works for you
• Added ability to mass-produce to most of the crafting recipes
  
• Updated translations for the following languages:
  • Czech
    
  • German
    
  • Hungarian
    
  • Italian
    
  • Polish
    
  • Portuguese

Hello, Feudalists!
First things first. During last week’s maintenance we have disabled the Halloween event, meaning no more glowing eyes for Knools and also no more special loot for Gloom’s Bomb, however, we have kept the blueprint for this item for the time being, so if you have some unused leftovers from the Knools, you can still use them to craft these special bombs. We hope you enjoyed this event and the Treasure Hunt that we started along with it.
Now to the topic of the game development. There are series of fixes that we are currently working on. Among these are the problems with the Wooden Walls, for which the fix is nearly there. From the more critical issues, the problem with server 138 and the holes in the terrain is among our priorities and we’re doing everything we can to have a fix for this bug ready soon. We advise to avoid that server node for the time being and contact our Support team if you fall through the map, so we can rescue you. One more thing in regard to fixes and tweaks that we want to mention are our plans to improve crafting and make it more intuitive. We’ll reveal more in due time. Stay tuned for more info.

Who said that journey through the mountains must be tedious and difficult? It doesn’t have to be when you have tunnel going straight through it. Big-Chef have dug wide and tall tunnel across the mountain for easier travel from one side to another. Such works required a lot of time and effort, but it certainly makes travels across mountains much more comfortable. Here you can see the video of how it looks from the player’s perspective. And something extra from us, a view from the ‘outside’ to better show the size of this thing.

There’s one more thing: due to the increased amount of reports of cheats in Life is Feudal: MMO, we’re taking a closer look at such behavior. You’ve been warned.

Hello, Feudalists!
This has been an interesting week. While the production of fixes and tweaks we mentioned earlier is still ongoing, we’ve been happy to see you participating in our Halloween event and sharing some of your creations with us, as well as receiving your feedback and suggestions on possible improvements of game mechanics.

Gloom’s Festival has gained the attention of warriors, hunters and adventure seekers, both old and new. Skilled warriors of Abella have fought their way through the savage hordes and claimed their secrets contained on old parchments, written in a language unknown. They are now studied by the Crown’s scholars, and in the meantime, the champions that delivered them have been handsomely rewarded.


It’s worth mentioning that well known Knool vanquisher, Siberian Bear has also once again taken part in this grand endeavor and, as always, succeeded alone in the fight against the barbarians.

While on topic of the events, lifdamage.online team is preparing to host their own video battle event, where you will be able to send yours and vote for other awesome videos. There are rewards planned for first, second and third place. Follow news on their page for more info.

Now for the community spot!
One of the players, SkinnySurvivor#1867, has spent great deal of time and put a lot of effort into creating something grand and lasting. If you’ll stumble upon a great pyramid somewhere in the desert, you’ll know that’s his work. You can see the presentation of his project, which is still work on progress, in here: https://youtu.be/3jByoS-_u-E
Make sure to send us more of your fantastic creations, so we can share them with the world!

Have a great weekend everyone!
