With update 0.9.7.3a-d we are introducing a highly requested feature: Displaying the possible weapon base damage rolls on the weapons. Fast pathfinder loading and improved enemy AI. Furthermore this update is packed with performance improvements, visual enhancements for the pathfinder, balancing reworks and bugfixes.

New Features:

• Display Weapon Damage Range Tooltips: On each weapon tooltips you will now find a new hint that you can press right mouse button or right thumb stick on the controller to view the base weapon damage range the weapon can roll
• Improved Enemy AI: enemies now have much smoother velocity transitions between idle, move and attack states
• New pathfinder loading system: Pathfinder now loads much faster after it has been initialised for the first time this fixes potential issues with memory leaks and long loading times in endgame

Improvements:

• Performance improvements for enemy path finding
• Performance improvements for all weapon drops
• Improved enemy AI and movement transitions between enemy attack states
• Echo weapons now only appear on the merchant trade and aeodra arena reward if there are available echos that can actually be dropped (previously the weapon just got directly removed if you selected an echo but there was none created)
• Improved elder branch range weapon visual effect
• Reduced size of high damage numbers.
• Random world events now all have the same chance to spawn. So you should see the different rift world events all spawn with the same possibility. Previously there was some code related favourism on spawn rate, depending in what order world events have been assigned.
• Performance improvements for all enemies and their idle state
• More natural enemy spawn positioning on maps
• Reduced enemy player detection time for enemies
• New pathfinder map connection design to bring it up to pair with the recent skilltree connection line redesign
• Further refined skilltree connection design
• Specialisation tooltips that contain condition damage now display the first 3 condition damage ticks like for the skillnodes

Balancing

• Flood damage now only scales with projectile damage (did scale with projectile and melee damage)
• Fragmentation damage now only scales with melee damage (did scale with projectile and melee damage)
• Bursting Shot and Bursting Hit now only scales with melee damage (did scale with projectile and melee damage)
• Increased condition damage decay condition damage ticks now get 50% reduced damage (was 40% before)
• Changed the specialisation tree for the goladir and melee unknown wanderer to make endurance shield as accessible as energy shield
