Hello chums,
Here’s what I have managed to get done today for your amusement. Some of these were deployed as a hotfix in the morning, but are included here so it’s easy to see what has changed today in once place.
Additions & Changes
- New class of potion that restores both HP and Mana
- Many new outfit colours
- Axes:
- No longer have stamina but add what it’s value would have been to their primary stat
- Have twice the defence penalty
- Spawn players in “close to” their logout square if it is occupied when they log back in (if possible)
- Healing runes now have stronger base healing and are now improved by the user’s magic level
- Shamans can now use their spells while holding a Mace
- Equipment drop rates have been:
- Doubled from Ghosts onwards
- Tripled in Chaos zones
- Gastropods have new drops and have had their experience significantly increased
- Outlaws continue to be one of the best exp ratio monsters in the game
- Chat message on death indicates if nothing was lost due to the realm having recently started or shutting down
- Monsters will once again spawn on top of your face
- Damage of monster beam attacks doubled
Fixes
- Unjust kills resetting on logout
- Unequipping items / losing a charm on death leaving the hover frame of the previous item
- More efficiently check if players are in range when NPCs are respawning
- Portals are once again visible on the world map
What Next?
These are some of the easier jobs I had given myself to tackle in the absurd UK heat today. I am planning to release a couple more updates this week with some long requested features, namely Arenas, elite monsters, and outfits.
