PATCH NOTES - 6th April 2025

• NEW: Mythical weapon Arvaton's Blade has been added to the game. Wielded by the fearsome pirate Captain Arvaton, this blade is extremely rare and as of yet, unavailable to anyone.
• NEW: Sprinting lock feature has now been added. Once you deplete your stamina, you'll need to wait until it recovers to 25% before being able to sprint again.
• NEW: The Ban Hammer (Mythical) has been added to the game! Happy April Fools! (No seriously it has been added to the game, but it's only available for Moderators). However, variants will be available in the future during seasonal in-game events.
• NEW: The Battlegrounds map (unnamed as of yet) has now received properly optimised terrain, inclusive of chunks and imposters (previously just one giant chunk eating into your FPS).
• FIX: Mistral (aka the Open Weekends island) has received proper optimised terrain imposters. These reduce polygon count significantly (down to ~2000 polys) while increasing texture resolution. A minor pop-in at terrain boundaries may occur, but should rarely be seen due to distance and occlusion. Feedback welcome.
• FIX: Mastery XP now visually updates in the window when the panel is open. It no longer requires a refresh.
• FIX: Can now talk with NPCs whilst using the new character controller.
• NEW: Added new logic to the character controller to streamline interactions.
• NEW: You can now select entities with a single mouse click (indicated by the blue ring in-game and unit frame appearing in the UI).
• FIX: Inputs have been universally updated for multi-input support, improving accessibility and rebind recognition.
• NEW: UI windows will now close at 10 metres when sourced from an active target.
• FIX: Target entity selection now has a base range of 30 metres for TAB targeting.
• FIX: Fixed a bug preventing players from joining Battleground teams once each team had at least one member. This issue unfortunately halted the internal test.

KNOWN BUGS:

• BUG: Mastery panel hangs slightly when opening. Suspecting a wider issue with the UI.
• BUG: Click to move doesn't rotate the character, so it looks weird.
• BUG: Ranged weapons inexplicably consume vast amounts of remaining ammo on reload.
• BUG: Inventory hangs when opening, causing a large frame drop.
• BUG: Character profile doesn't update equipment slots unless the inventory has been opened first.
• BUG: Battlegrounds timer doesn't always activate.
• BUG: Click to move VFX marker doesn't always show when using the new character controller.
• BUG: Warping has inaccuracies causing players to fall through the map when warping within the same map.
• BUG: Harvestables cannot be harvested when in streaming scenes.
