Cross of Auria News

6.2.0.2 [Build #144, Release Date: August 03, 2022] Bug Reports:
- The fastest way to report a bug is @ https://www.facebook.com/CrossOfAuria.

Fixes:
- Fixed an issue where Orcs would spawn and Amaya's dialogue would play before the event of the Orc War in Lvell. It should be possible now to continue forward.

Updates & Changes:
- Electrogenic class now requires level 99 Paladin to be unlocked.

Other:
- The Zodiac Overwatch can be entered from the Veil. Without the DLC installed, this location is empty. Tentative release date for Battle Series X is Friday, August 05, 2022.

This has been in the works behind the scenes for a long time now and I've finally decided it is time to start pushing it out there. This Friday, the first wing of Battle Series X goes live. Without saying too much, here's some highlights
- New enemies
- New loot
- Battle oriented zone

This area is scaled to level 20-30 using the 2.0 enemy generator - so if you're really struggling getting through even as high as level 30, please reach out to me asap so we can talk about it! I have a feeling some of these battles will need fine tuning, but I didn't want to hold it back anymore.

As promised, Battle Series X is a free addition to the Cross of Auria base game. Ruby must have access to the Veil in order to access the Zodiac Overwatch. This location may be warped to from the first of the red rifts which has opened on the far right of the Veil.

Look for the update around 7pm (Eastern US time) this Friday!



PS: If you thought Yuelslain's Village was too difficult, it's because this location truly was intended to release first, but Christmas happened and I confused myself. Oops :)

Four more achievements with reasonably placed debug activations have been added. As always, please let me know if something isn't working for you.

Note: Future achievement additions will NOT be noted in patches. Therefore, the game may change X versions (#.#.A.X) without accompanying notes until a new A is released.
Note: My next project is to scale back the amount of unused files in the game package. Therefore, updates may queue without a download size - it is deleting files and is nothing to worry about. These updates will be deployed without version changes.

6.2.0.1 [Build #143, Release Date: July 30, 2022] Bug Reports:
- The fastest way to report a bug is @ https://www.facebook.com/CrossOfAuria.

New:
- Achievement integration continues! Four more visible achievements have been added.
-- Fledgling Hunter: Completed your first hunt.
-- Novice Hunter: Completed 10 Hunter Lodge quests.
-- The Phoenix Ash: Completed all Phoenix Ash quests.
-- The Rabbit's Foot: Completed all Rabbit's Foot quests.
--- Remy in the Veil will be able to activate Fledgling Hunter, Novice Hunter, and Phoenix Ash.
--- Speaking to both of the Master Hunters in The Rabbit's Foot when they have no new quests for you will activate the corresponding achievement.
--- In addition to the above debug achievement activations, their natural activation placements have been added.

Fixes:
- The Phoenix Ash quests inside Port Reception now accurately change the values of Active and Finished hunts which can be seen on the save screen and in the record book.

A couple of quick notes before we get into the whole patch details:
- Until I have fully recovered, the Wuhan Warrior will remain as a single event enemy in the Veil.
- The Insecticide Quiver can now be obtained where you found Ares.
- Achievements are in public beta. If the test is successful, we will move forward. [Achievements will only work with the Windows version of the game.]
- If you find anything broken with the game, please do not hesitate to reach out ASAP!
- Updating to the new version is required to prevent the nw.exe launch error. The update will be available within the next hour.

6.2.0 [Build #142, Release Date: July 29, 2022] Bug Reports:
- The fastest way to report a bug is @ https://www.facebook.com/CrossOfAuria.

New:
- Achievement integration has begun. Four achievements are now available as a test of functionality. Their requirements are as follows:
-- Defeat the Frostbrood Titan in Frostbrood Lair.
-- Defeat the Flame Titan in Hell's Gate.
-- Collect all (4) Veil Crystals during Ruby's first visit.
-- Collect all (4) Veill Crystals during Ruby's second visit.
Following the positive conclusion of the test, more achievements will be released in the future. For players who have already completed these but do not have the achievements unlocked, visit Remy in the Veil. Remy will be able to activate the Titan achievements, but not the Veil ones.

Fixes:
- Reapplied the "Quiver" equipment type to the Insecticide Quiver and added a chest in the location where Ares joins the party for this item to be obtained. Players who already had this item when the bug appeared can now equip it.

Updates & Changes:
- Ability to escape now based on party luck instead of agility -
- Activated 'action', 'critical', 'miss', 'evasion' and 'HP" battle text.
- Multi Shot no longer generates TP.
- Junky gear set now has 1 Variance when dropped.
- "E. Warrior" class now named "Paladin."
- "Barbarian" class now named "Commando."
- "Priest" class now named "Arcanist."
- "M.Attack" parameter now named "Magic."
- "M.Defense" parameter now named "Spirit."
- Disabled the following plugins: SkillLearnSystem, X_ArmorScaling.
- Enabled the following plugins: TurnOrderDisplay.

Other:
- Another round of resource collection is in progress. Over the next few updates, the game size may increase or shrink rapidly without significant change to the gameplay. This will even out over time to where only the files available to be experienced will be included in the game package.

Notes & Known Issues:
- The turn order display plugin functionality is still being worked on. It may or may not be visible randomly from encounter to encounter, or may stop functioning altogether.
- Menu items inside Quest Log, Skill, and Class may disappear without warning and for no reason.

Due to the testing of the achievement system, an error was created for the retail branch of the game which tried to use the nw.exe file which does not yet exist in the public game files.

This has been resolved. The game should now open normally.
