Version 0.1.350 released!

Hello everyone,

We are moving back to a frequent release cadence, hurray! In order to do this we need to somehow get from the year old code that is running live, which is going to take a while to phase in. I’m pleased to announce, that process starts today!

Bug Fixes

  • Fix for trading more than 128 items
  • Missing item sprites will no longer crash the client
  • Water liquid type monsters now splash water on hit
  • Fix for rare server crash on startup
  • Friendly NPCs no longer have AI
  • Players can no longer attack when stacked
  • Arrows now buff distance based on their statPoints value
  • Server side defences bolstered against specific packet modification attacks
  • Fix for arrow stacks going less than zero
  • Fix for the first hit of a retreating enemy always being yellow for mages and rangers
  • Fix for players loading into the wrong map when reconnecting as they die
  • Fix for pressing back during map transitions crashing the game
  • Selling the last item in your inventory now refreshes the view correctly
  • When depositing / withdrawing your last item the view now updates correctly
  • Ammunition is now consumed on all attacks

Cool 🙂

So on top of all this stuff there is a huge amount of code restructuring and technical debt being paid off. It should go without saying that there are likely a bunch of things broken so please be vigilant and report any issues you find on the forums. Enchanting is functionally completed, and I will be looking to roll it out in the very near future so we can really start playing with the elemental system properly. There are also a lot of map updates and the party system which have not been rolled out today – these will be coming shortly after a brief period of stability testing and bug fixing on the current version.
