Life is Feudal: MMO News

Well met Feudalists,

The latest update to Life is Feudal: MMO is a big one, bringing you new group arenas, guild chat, improved weapons balance, and much much more! So read on to learn more!

[h2]New Group Arenas:[/h2]
Group Arenas 2vs2 and 5vs5 have been added to the game. Here, teamwork will be much more important than individual skill.

Winners are determined at the end of the match by comparing the total points from both teams. Points are awarded in a manner similar to the classic arena system; you will not receive points for killing allies, so stabbing your teammates in the back is not recommended.

Important:
Only the group leader can register the team for the group arena.
The launch of the group arenas is in a test format, so rewards are temporarily disabled.

We hope you enjoy this arena format and look forward to your feedback!

[h2]New Features:[/h2]

• Guild Chat: A dedicated chat for guild members is now automatically available upon joining a guild.
  
• Main Menu Enhancements: Added new buttons for Discord, the game Wiki, and the game Dashboard to the main menu for better accessibility.
  
• Durability Loss on Repair: Items and jewellery now have a chance to lose maximum durability when repaired using repair kits and through the Equipment Maintain skill. The chance to repair an item without reducing its maximum durability depends on the Luck attribute.
  
• Item Quality Display Button: Added a new button in the inventory to enable the numerical display of the item's quality. The button has multiple modes for convenience.
  

[h2]Fixes:[/h2]

• Spawn Points: Corrected the incorrect spawn locations in the green zone.
  
• View Mode in Combat Stance: Re-enabled the free view mode in combat stance.
  
• Militia 90: Corrected the functionality to disarm opponents, it sends the player’s weapon into their inventory upon success. This skill is now available in the arena again.
  
• Inventory Quality Display: Fixed the issue where the quality display button state was not saved after closing and reopening the inventory.
  
• Sorting Settings: Fixed the issue where sorting and separator settings were not saved per character.
  
• Localization Texts: Made corrections to some localization texts.
  

[h2]Improvements:[/h2]
We have encountered some players using the ownership timer to obstruct construction on neutral territory. To address this, the construction time will be longer, and the ownership timer for certain types of buildings will be reduced.

• Construction Cooldown: Reduced the ownership timer of premium buildings.
  
• Construction Cast Time: Increased the cast time for placing buildings. Premium decorations now take 30 seconds (up from 5 seconds) and other buildings take 25 seconds (up from 15 seconds).
  

[h2]Balance[/h2]
Siege Torch Modifier: Added a special damage modifier for objects to the Siege Torch, allowing it to be used more effectively to destroy objects like barricades and furniture.

[h3]Important[/h3]
With this change, the rule prohibiting barricades has been cancelled.

Long-range weapons:

• Long Bow: Stamina rate usage per shoot reduced from 50 to 45

• Royal Warhorse: HP Regen increased from 0.016 to 0.018, Stamina Regen increased from 1 to 1.1
  

[h2]Weapons:[/h2]
Apart from their damage, the current set of weapons are very similar. To address this, we have decided to make the differences between the weapons more noticeable, even within the same weapon type.

This way, different weapons of the same type will deal different types of damage, making it easier for you to choose the most effective way to defeat your opponent.

As always, these changes are not set in stone, and we will be monitoring your feedback and overall game statistics to make future adjustments if needed.

Drum roll, please!

[h2]The name of the new map will be: Arden[/h2]

Congratulations to @IKS_Slon for coming up with the winning suggestion! The community has spoken and your entry was deemed to be the best.

Hold your head high with pride as to us all, Arden is not just a name, it symbolizes the dawn of a new era for Life is Feudal: MMO, an era that we are all looking forward to with bated breath!
So, thank you for taking part, and once again congratulations for coming up with the name for this new continent!

Greetings, Feudals! The hotfix is live, tackling several crucial issues with the arena and Instanced Battles (IB) in Life is Feudal: MMO. Here’s what’s fixed:

• Arena and IB Character Transfer Fix: Resolved an issue where characters would freeze during the "Transferring your character" process when starting an arena and IB.
  
• Fix for IB Timer and Instant Completion: The IB startup has been corrected. Now, the battle preparation timer appears as intended, and the battle does not end immediately upon starting.
  
• IB Connection Error Text: Corrected the error message text for failed character connections to IB.
  
• Item Duplication Exploit: Fixed a game vulnerability where players could duplicate items through Instanced Battles.
  
• Traveller's Idol Transfer Fix: Addressed an issue where characters could transfer to another server using the Traveller's Idol without losing inventory items. Now items will be lost as intended (except items with No Drop status).
  

Last week, we also addressed several issues with skins. They should now function as intended, but if you encounter any errors, please let us know.

Thank you for your patience and continued support as we work to enhance your gameplay experience.

As you might remember, we had to roll back the previous patch. Today's patch includes the previous changes (with fixes) as well as new additional changes.

Warning: Some players may find the game not launching on their devices. To resolve this issue, you need to update the following redistributable: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/windows/latest-supported-vc-redist?view=msvc-170



[h2]Map Filter Issue:[/h2]

• Added a refresh button for the map as a temporary solution so you don't have to exit the game when the map freezes. We're still working on a permanent fix but hope to reduce inconvenience with this interim measure.
  
• At the later stages of testing, we identified a bug in which the button may not work, but in most cases, there should be no problems.
  

[h2]New Teleportation Points:[/h2]

• Replaced teleportation points to improve travel and reduce inconveniences when teleporting between green zones.
  

[h2]"Waiting for Server" Error:[/h2]

[h2]Weapon and Skill Balancing:[/h2]

• Estoc Damage Adjustments: Reduced by 20% to improve combat balance.
  
• We see too much emphasis on the use of mines as protective structures. The following changes will help attackers quickly break down the defences of such fortresses and, among other things, will make life a little easier for ordinary miners.
  [h3]Changes to Collapse and Break Reinforce Skills:[/h3]
  
  • Removed the need for tools to perform collapse and break reinforce.
    
  • Reduced cast time to 8 seconds for collapse and 15 seconds for break reinforce.

  • Capacity increased to 5000 and the number of renamings is now unlimited.
    
• [h3]Breeding Structures (stables, coops, barns) now have a common timer:[/h3]

[h3]Unfortunately, since the launch of v0.25.1.14, numerous players reported issues with the game crashing on startup.

We were able to find the source of the crash, however, preparing a fix would have taken too long. As such, we are rolling back the update.

The maintenance is scheduled to start now (15:20) and will take an additional 1 hour.
All active players will receive +1 day subscription to make up for today's disrupted service.
