Hello Adventurers! Here are the patch notes for today's update.

CURRENT QUEST OBJECTIVE:

• The next internal test date has now been confirmed to be 4th April 2025, where the team will conduct the various tests on Battlegrounds. If this goes well, well move forward and open it up to the playerbase to register interest.
• A secondary stress test is also in the works to stress the PTR with our AdventureBots. These are simulated players (bots) driven from a special client. They will run around, patrol, attack things, die etc and generally simulate players for the purpose of ~statistics~.

NOTEWORTHY NEWS:

• Significant progress has been made on the new account system (this has been a long time in the works) so account registration is now through the website (rather than in-game), including email verification / account activation.
• This is a unified system, so will act as your single login for all AEGIS games and the forums moving forward (rather than an account for each service). The aim is to unburden you with account as much as possible, and it also means for any future projects that monthly membership could be shared across all games etc (receive perks across your entire account). Obviously the focus is AEGIS Kingdoms, but its worth building with longevity in mind, so these types of things are considered.
• The AdventureBots have been locally tested with great success, so that is now shaping up to be a good stress test for the PTR. The initial AdventureBot Clients have been prepped, state machines are all working and overall seems to operate well. The next step will be doing a dry run on the PTR ahead of the stress test to make sure no silly compilation errors or whatnot occur. (Essentially to make the actual stress test go smoothly).

PATCH NOTES 8th March 2025

• NEW: Account registration is now through the website, so the in-game register button has been removed entirely. Note: this is not live yet (fun fact the account button leads to the forums currently), but useful to know for the future when account registration is opened up.

• FIX: Forgot Password button now redirects to the password reset webpage.
• FIX: Need Help button now redirects to the FAQ webpage.

• BUG: Mastery XP does not visually update in window when the panel is open, and requires re-opening the panel to view the gained increase.
• BUG: Click to move doesnt rotate the character so it looks weird.
• BUG: Cannot talk with NPCs whilst using the new character controller. (Turns out it's not currently being fixed as I write this, and instead persisting like a cockroach).
