Fixed the Joldurbraan Boss fight and added several optimization to improve performance.

• Corrected false positive cases when saving Settings.
• Optimization to the iteration and searches of items in inventory
• Reduce hitching and total time dungeon floors take to load by adding cache-friendly lookups to spawn selection.
• Optimization for Shadow casting lights by disabling shadows when Shadow quality is lower than 3 (High)

Today's patch fixes various bugs and issues.

• Fixed Dungeon warning dialog showing incorrectly
• Fixed crash that may occur on a number of AI and abilities across the game

[ 2024-04-16 20:07:14 CET ] [ Original post ]

Good Afernoon, Today's patch brings a game improvements and big fixes.

Recommendation System

We have heard player feedback regarding confusion with the appropriate level players should be when attempting different levels of content. The old recommendations were prior to the full unlock of all dungeons and this system needed to be updated with the correct levels. In addition to this, the quality and level of gear when attempting this content is also important to player success. To help a player be more successful in the content we have done several things [olist]

Increased the levels to the correct level (including heroism levels) to be successful in a given dungeon & difficulty

Added a new gear check system that looks for the minimum gear to attempt a dungeon. Dungeons that have split gear qualities mean you would need half of each quality at a minimum to be successful. More of the higher quality will pass this test as well.

Added a new Challenge Rating value. This value demonstrates the relative challenge related to other content in the game. It is not designed to be exact but is a general estimate of success. If a number is twice a lower number, it represents approximately double the challenge. [/olist]

Improved Loot Quality

We wanted to incentivize players to play all dungeons rather than only trying the highest dungeons due to higher chance of improved quality drops. All dungeon bosses (with a boss chest) will now have some chance to drop higher quality loot. The chance to drop higher quality loot now improves with the depth in the dungeon you progress to (i.e. level 4 bosses have much higher drop chances of higher quality loot and the first boss of a dungeon). [olist]

All dungeon bosses now have a chance to drop +1 quality loot (this means they can drop Epic on Normal, Legendary on Hard and Eternal on Nightmare)

Crypt of Horrors, The Dark Hollow, The Grasslands, Lair of the Ceranids and The Icy Depths saw the greatest overall +1 quality drop rate adjustment.

The Dreadforge and The Festerbog had several bosses +1 quality drop rates improved.

Ragewind Keep is unchanged as all bosses drop only +1 quality loot

Named Elite npcs (like Sludge) that do not have a boss chests remain unchanged. [/olist]

Bug Fixes:

• Fixed issue with center keep gates in Grasslands causing them to be too small
• Reduced damage on Snowtek
• Fixed issue text on crafting screen not localizing

[ 2024-03-31 16:50:15 CET ] [ Original post ]

Today's patch fixes issues with immune enemies such as Botanist Juran in the Grasslands.

[ 2024-03-14 17:23:28 CET ] [ Original post ]

Good Afternoon, Today's patch brings a number of improvements and big fixes.

Loot Updates:

We have heard player feedback regarding endgame progression feeling to grindy in terms of item scaling and crafting results. We have improved this system with the following changes.

Star Items (End-Game Tiers):

Starred items are designed to be end-game items that drop from NPCs, Crafting and Bosses once the player has attained level 20. The number of stars on an item is (and has always been) limited by the quality of an item with Superior (Green items) having up to one star possibility, Rare (Blue items) two stars, Epic (Purple) three stars, Legendary (Red) Four stars and Eternal (Light Blue) five stars. This is regardless of how the item was obtained (NPC, Crafting, etc). The following changes have been made to star item loot drops. [olist]

All Bosses now have a chance to drop starred items.

As your heroism increases your chance of receiving starred items increases as well

As your heroism increases your chance of receiving a higher number of stars increases relative to your heroism level (so a level 100 would have a greater chance at 1,2,3 star items and level 500 hundred 2,3,4 and so on )

The chance of crafting a star item increases with heroism level now as well as the number of stars received. The overall chance of receiving a star item from crafting has improved as well.

Star item overall chance from normal NPCs is unchanged but the number of stars does scale with heroism (more stars at higher levels) but much less than Bosses or crafting. [/olist]

Gameplay

We implemented the following gameplay changes based upon player feedback, we continue to work on additional improvements so please keep sending your feedback.

Improvements:

• Improvement to AI logic. AI abilities will no longer block load if used while waiting for their corresponding assets. Instead the ability will be temporarily unavailable and not chosen by the AI, preventing hitching related to the block load.
• Potion cooldowns have been reduced from 20 seconds to 4.
• Crafting fragment drop quantities have been improved from 1 per drop to 3 per drop.
• Bosses now have a chance to drop higher quality essences to make crafting more viable.
• Fixed issue where corpses were sometimes difficult to loot and players would receive no notification of loot.

Good Morning, Today's patch brings further optimizations and performance improvements, as well as fixes some various UI bugs. Thanks, Industry Games

[ 2024-02-02 17:18:32 CET ] [ Original post ]

Good Morning, Today's patch brings a number of improvements and bug fixes.

Loot Updates:

We have been monitoring your feedback and drop rates across the game, and have decided to greatly reduce the amount of Common items the player receives from defeating enemies. [olist]

Normal, Elite, and Boss enemies no longer drop Common quality items

Increased the quality drop chance across all enemies

Reduced drop-rate for Normal and Elite enemies from 35% to 25%

Reduced drop-rate for destructible items from 62% to 40%

King Joldurbraan in Icy Depths may now drop Tier 2 Armor Chests

Molabog the Demon King in Dreadforge may now drop Tier 2 Armor Gloves [/olist]

Difficulty Updates:

We have been pleased with the first round of difficulty adjustments based on reducing enemy scaling from Heroism. Today's patch makes further adjustments to game difficulty by adjusting the baseline scaling of dungeons for Nightmare difficulty. We feel these changes should provide a more appropriate power progression through the game. but as always we look forward to your feedback!

Improvements:

• Improved navigation in Ragewind Castle
• Expanded in-game errors to provide more relevant information
• The damage reduction buff gained during the Slygoth and Norgoth encounter in Ragewind Castle now has a duration of 60 seconds
• Champion's Cleave ability attack range improved for smaller races

• Client should no longer crash when Ogre's use Throw Boulder
• Fixed various issues with the floor mechanic during the Lorg encounter in Icy Depths
• Fixed various object collision issues
• Fixed some enemy issues where they were using the incorrect version of an ability

• Fixed a drop rate issue with the Bulwark of the Undead Crusher from the Crypt Lord encounter in the Crypt of Horrors

Developer Update

Greetings Adventurers!

We first wanted to take a moment to thank all of our players for your bug reports, feedback, suggestions, and all of the other input youve provided to us. We understand there are some pretty critical bugs right now, as well as other major improvements players have requested, so with todays update we wanted to dive in to some of our top priorities right now.

Holiday Event

The Holiday Event will be concluding at the end of the month. We let it run a little longer due to some of the accessibility issues. We hope everyone has enjoyed this event.

Backups and Losing Progress

We are fully aware of the issues occurring right now regarding losing progress and not having the expected backup files and this has been a top priority for us. We thank you for your patience while we work through these. During our review of crash reports and other test results of data loss, we have found that players using mods/cheats/and trainers have a very high chance of losing game progress during cooperative play. Additionally, we have discovered that being in a group hosted by a player using these types of additions also has a very high chance of causing data loss. We have several improvements to these systems that are currently going through our internal testing process, and we hope to push these out as soon as we feel they are in a good place to improve these two areas. If you are a player that has experiences data loss during cooperative play and would like to help us test these changes within our test environment, please contact Trup in our official Discord.

Xbox

For our Xbox players, we are continuing to work on performance and stability improvements for both solo and cooperative play, as well as squashing regression bugs and other issues.

Additional Features

We are continuing to work on adding Damage Numbers as well. We will provide more details in a future update.

Halloween has Arrived in Sundaria!

• New Level Cap

We appreciate all of the feedback we've received regarding the challenges with the UI and are happy to announce the following improvements:

• Abilities will now show a small display when they are ready to be used again

Class Abilities and Class Updates:

As we previewed in a prior Developer Update, all Classes are receiving some new skills, passives, and/or ability updates with this patch. Additionally, many existing class abilities have had their animations and VFX improved.

Champions

• New Ability - Brutal Strike - Brutally Strike your enemy for 160% Physical Damage and automatically change to your next equipped weapon. On a successful weapon change, your next Brutal Strike deals 300% increased damage.
• New Passive - Bladed Bastion - You become fortified by the blade, increasing your Melee Attack Power based upon your Block Amount.

• New Ability - Arbiter's Fury - Conjures a hammer to strike your target, dealing 300% physical damage and stunning them for 3 seconds. Hammers continue to strike nearby targets for 3 seconds.
• Ability Update - Divine Shield - Shields all Allies within range, providing crowd-control immunity and absorbing 20% of their health as damage for 15 seconds. 30 second cooldown

• New Passive - Nature's Warden - You are empowered by Nature, reducing damage taken by 100% of your bonus Movement Speed.
• Weapon Specialization Update - Enforcer now also increases Critical Strike Damage

Rogues

• Ability Update - Ember Eruption - Conjures a clone that draws the attention of all nearby enemies before erupting into flames, dealing 450% fire damage.

Updated Bonus Ability Attribute Scaling

We have added many new attributes in the form of Bonus Ability rolls to loot tables for all classes, and have removed a few that were causing scaling issues at the very top end of gearing. To address these issues, weve adjusted the values of Bonus Ability Rolls based upon the base cooldown duration of abilities and/or the type of ability. The following provides an overview of these adjustments:

• Bonus Ability Rolls for Abilities with a cooldown of 8 seconds or less remain the same
• Bonus Ability Rolls for Abilities that affect the Duration of an Ability reduced by 33%
• Bonus Ability Rolls for Abilities that affect a Defensive Ability reduced by 57%
• Bonus Ability Rolls for Abilities that have no cooldown reduced by 33%
• Bonus Ability Rolls for Abilities with a cooldown of 8 to 12 seconds increased by 67%
• Bonus Ability Rolls for Abilities with a cooldown of more than 12 seconds increased by 130%

With these changes, our goal is to bring down some of the outliers down, such as Defensive abilities providing immunity or near-immunity, while also pulling power away from primary abilities, such as Slash, and transferring that power into longer cooldown abilities. These changes, combined with the addition of new Bonus Abilities rolls detailed below should provide greater customization for players to allow for focused increases to their preferred abilities. If you already have an item with an attribute that was removed, fear not. We did not remove these from your items, but we did remove them from appearing on newly acquired items. We appreciate any feedback you may have on these changes.

Bonus Ability Attributes

As mentioned above, we've added additional Bonus Abilities rolls for all classes. Below is a list of all new Bonus Abilities rolls players may now receive on equipment, and the ones that were removed:

Champion

• Brutal Strike Damage
• Skin of Stone Damage Reduction
• Skin of Stone Duration
• Upheaval Damage

Cleric

• Arbiters Fury Damage
• Channel Heal Healing Amount
• Divine Sacrifice Damage
• Exorcism Damage
• Heavenly Strike Damage
• Heavenly Strike Duration
• Holy Blast Damage
• Justice Strike Damage

Ranger

• Blasting Shot Damage
• Blight Arrow Duration
• Blight Arrow Damage

Increased Level Cap to 20

With this patch we have increased the level cap to 20 in anticipation of Ragewind Castle. For players already into their Heroism journey, any experienced gained will go towards leveling up to 20. Once players reach level 20 Heroism will activate/reactivate.

Updated Crafting

We have made some improvements to Crafted items to address some of the frustration with creating dead items. We understand that players feel Bonus Health and Bonus Power are mandatory stats on equipment before that piece can be considered usable. Based on this, we have made some adjustments to Crafted items. Now when players craft Legendary Quality equipment, that equipment will always receive either Bonus Health or Bonus Power, but will be limited to only receive one Bonus Ability Roll. When crafting Eternal Equipment, that equipment will always receive both Bonus Health and Bonus Power, but will be limited to only receive two Bonus Ability Rolls. Additionally, Epic Quality Crafted items and below will never roll Bonus Ability Rolls.

To Summarize:

• Eternal Always has Bonus Health and Bonus Power. Limited to 2 Bonus Ability Rolls
• Legendary Always has 1 of Bonus Health or Bonus Power. Limited to 1 Bonus Ability Roll
• Epic and Below Never rolls Bonus Ability Rolls

Players may still find equipment that can roll any combination of attributes, but with these crafting changes players should have an easier time crafting usable items while descending into the item hunt for the perfectly rolled item. Additionally, weve heard the grumbles about how much money youre earning in order to fuel your crafting fees. To this end, we have adjusted the sale price of Essence to the following:

• Common Quality Essence 1 Silver
• Superior Quality Essence 10 Silver
• Rare Quality Essence 1 Gold
• Epic Quality Essence 10 Gold
• Legendary Quality Essence 100 Gold
• Eternal Quality Essence 1 Platinum

Combat Improvements

We are always striving towards improving combat, and today we would like to share with you two new systems coming to Dungeons of Sundaria.

Signature Abilities

With this system, all classes have received 3 Signature abilities capable of extra Critical Strike effects. When you score a Critical Strike with one of these abilities, your Character will perform a new extra action.

Champion Signature Abilities:

• Brutal Strike Will perform an additional attack for 50% of the damage done
• Mighty Blow Will perform an additional attack for 50% of the damage done
• Shield Bash Will perform an additional attack for 50% of the damage done

Cleric Signature Abilities:

• Heavenly Strike Will send down a second strike for 50% of the damage done
• Holy Light Will send out a second orb for 50% of the damage done
• Justice Strike Will perform an additional attack for 50% of the damage done

Ranger Signature Abilities:

• Deadly Shot Will perform an additional attack for 50% of the damage done
• Poison Arrow Will explode on the target, applying the damage over time effect to nearby enemies
• Salvo Will root the target in place for 2 seconds

Rogue Signature Abilities:

• Assassinate Will perform an additional attack for 50% of the damage done
• Backstab Will perform an additional attack for 50% of the damage done
• Phased Carnage Will perform an additional attack for 50% of the damage done

Wizard Signature Abilities:

• Cone of Fire Will light the target on fire, dealing additional damage over time
• Flame Blast Will conjure a small Meteor to hit the target for 50% of the damage done
• Magic Missiles Will fire a small Chaos Orb for 50% of the damage done

We have also improved weapon impacts and hit feedback. In addition to the new Signature Critical Strike system, we have introduced a new Combat Effects system to enemies.

Combat Effects

After attacking an enemy for some time there is a chance for a new Combat Effect to occur. The chance for a Combat Effects to occur is based upon the dungeon difficulty, enemy difficulty, and how long the enemy has been attacked. On Normal difficulty it will be easier to trigger a Combat Effect against an enemy than it will be on Nightmare difficulty. Additionally, enemies will always have a chance to initiate a Combat Effect when they reach 20% health. When a Combat Effect is triggered, it can come as either a beneficial effect or a detrimental effect on the enemy.

Enemy Buffs:

Bolstered

• Enemy gains Crowd Control Immunity
• Enemy deals Increased damage

Call for Help

• Calls nearby enemies for help

Go for Help

• Flees to nearby enemies for help

Potions

• Humanoid enemies will drink a potion to restore some health

Clones

• Non-humanoid enemies will clone themselves

Enemy Debuffs:

Stunned

• Enemy cannot perform any Actions
• Enemy takes increased Damage

Staggered

• Enemy takes increased Critical Strike Damage

Maimed

• Enemy takes additional damage over time

Winded

• Enemy attacks more slowly

Ragewind Castle

Development continues on Ragewind Castle, the 8th dungeon ahead of our official launch. With Ragewind Castle, we've tried to go a step further by creating some of the most fun and engaging encounters released to date. Today, we wanted to provide a few new images from the dungeon.
Further within the dungeon, players will enter a large battlefield and encounter Zzorack the Deathbringer.

Improvements and Bug Fixes:

Hello adventurers!

This patch brings several new features, including a Minimap, the new Beacon ability, and several other improvements and fixes. We hope these changes aid you in your progression through the game. We will continue to add features and improvements based upon player feedback. Thank you for playing and helping us develop a better game.

Minimap

Dungeons of Sundaria has a Minimap! Players will now find the Minimap to aid them with their dungeon navigation.
Some things are best left as secrets, and so not all rooms are or may be visible

Beacon Ability

In addition to the Minimap, we have given all classes a new ability called Beacon. This ability is available from level 1, and provides the player with the ability to summon up to five visual beacon to track their dungeon progress.
When a sixth beacon is placed, the first beacon will disappear. Beacons will not persist when advancing to a new level and are only visible to the player that created them.

Trade Interaction

We have listened to your feedback regarding trade interactions, and have made the following changes. The ability for players to trade within a dungeon has been removed and replaced with a new Trade System accessible through the Party interface. This allows players to trade at greater distances and with greater ease. We believe this is a better solution and thank players for their suggestions.

Camera Adjustment

Players have asked for the ability to adjust their camera, and we are happy to announce that you can now adjust the camera settings in the game menu. The camera settings are variable and limited due to abilities and player model positioning. We look forward to additional feedback on these new camera settings.

Map Save Support

Players will now save and resume progress on a per-Dungeon basis. Get our there and help your friends!

Gameplay Improvements

Reduced push force on Lady Everleens Focusing Gaze. Fixed issue with NPC AI ability options that would cause melee NPCs to disengage in the middle of certain fights. Ranged NPCs will still flee sometimes as part of their behavior. Fixed issue with portals having incorrect collision at times. Fixed issue with Rat King that would cause him to be untargettable by certain abilities. Fixed issue with weather VFX that would cause incorrect visibility when players die. Fixed issue with clients reconnecting to host. Fixed issue that could cause crashes on Playstation. Thanks for playing, and thanks for all the great feedback!

Greetings Adventurers!

Today, we want to share you with some of the Quality of Life Updates coming to DoS with the release of Ragewind Castle, as well as some early previews of the updated Lizardman race!

Ragewind Castle:

With Ragewind Castle, players will spend time both outside and inside of the dungeon. Today, we wanted to share a few sneak peeks at some of the environments players will experience inside the dungeon.
As players traverse the inner chambers of Ragewind Castle, they will also encounter the Ramparts, an explorable outdoor area filled with fun and cozy enemies!

Quality of Life Updates:

With the release of Ragewind Castle, we are adding some much-needed quality-of-life features to dungeons. The first improvement is that Dungeon Progress will now be saved for each individual Dungeon. Players will be able to retain their progress in each dungeon, rather than having it force a reset by choosing to start a new dungeon. We will also be adding new options for the dungeons that allow players to choose to start from the beginning of the dungeon, or from approximately the halfway point. We feel this change will allow players to better target certain bosses and drops and make dungeon runs more enjoyable overall. Lastly, we wanted to share with you an early preview of the new, highly-requested, minimap!

Lizardmen:

Finally, we are proud to present the updated Lizardman race, which will also be available with the release of Ragewind Castle.
We want to again thank our players for their feedback and continued support!

[ 2023-06-18 19:29:47 CET ] [ Original post ]

Greetings Adventurers!

We wanted to thank everyone for your feedback and support during our Early Access launch of Dungeons of Sundaria. With the recent release of the Festering Bog, we wanted to take some time to talk about the features we are working on and what players can expect to be released with our next dungeon.

Final Dungeon Ragewind Castle

We are excited to announce that Ragewind Castle will be Dungeon of Sundaria 8th instance. With the defeat of Demon Lord Malorath, the path to Ragewind Castle has been laid bare. Join the denizens of Sundaria in their assault against Ragewind Castle and learn the truth behind the horrors rampaging across Sundaria.
Ragewind Castle will feature more than a dozen new bosses, one new Class Armor Set, and two new Class Weapon Sets. In addition to Ragewind Castle, there are many other updates coming. We hope to preview some of the new boss set items as we approach the launch of Ragewind Castle.

Class Updates

With the launch of Ragewind Castle, all Classes will receive some new abilities and passive effects! With this weeks Developer Update, we wanted to provide an early preview. Please note that these are all work in progress and must not be considered final.

Champions

Clerics

Rangers

Rogues

Wizards

In addition to the above new Class Abilities, some classes will also be receiving new Passive abilities to further enhance their gameplay! We hope to provide more information about these abilities in the future and look forward to hear your initial feedback.

Quality of Life Updates

We have heard the feedback regarding several Quality of Life updates, such as improving trade functionality, enhanced camera options, maps, and other improvements. We are carefully considering each of these improvements and will provide more information on some of them coming to DoS with the launch of Ragewind Castle.

Developer Interview hosted by Chonky!

We are also happy to announce that Chonky will be hosting a developer Q&A/AMA Session with some of the DoS Team on June 9th at 3pm EST!
Again, we want to thank everyone for playing DoS and we ask that you all continue to provide feedback to our team. Please join our Discord community where our Developers engage in daily discussions with our players. Lastly, we want to close with a small teaser for an upcoming update, most likely due sometime after Ragewind Castle's release.

Hello adventurers! We are excited to bring you the next content update including a new dungeon, gameplay enhancements, and many optimizations in this patch.

The Festering Bog

At the foot of the Ragewind Mountains lies a vast bog. Corpses have decomposed into great festering peat for centuries as armies sought to siege the mountain castle. Now, this bogland is enthralled by a great host of Undead, their shambling husks wandering the murky waters. Your quarry lies within Ragewind Castle, but first, you must traverse the Festering Bog. The Festering Bog is a new map to explore with ten new bosses to challenge the most seasoned veterans. The Festering Bog is the 7th dungeon to arrive in Dungeons of Sundaria. Introducing 10 new bosses set in a challenging outdoor swamp environment that even the most seasoned adventurer will enjoy.

All Current Dungeons and Difficulties Unlocked

We unlocked all dungeons through the Festering Bog at the start of the game. The final dungeon, Ragewind Castle, may require unlocking the previous dungeons. In addition to dungeons being unlocked, we have unlocked all current difficulties by default. A guide has been implemented for players recommending the approximate level the content was designed for. Attempting harder dungeons at level 1 is at your own peril! Map selection will warn players if they are 5 levels or more below the recommended level.

New Armor Dye Merchant

Cletus Thornhue has recruited help from his sister Myrna to travel with the town caravan to the Festering Bog to support the adventurers there with new armor colors. You will find Myrna in the starting camp in the Festering Bog.

Split Screen

We have improved the player experience in split screen. On guest or local accounts, players can now select their save game data, allowing e.g., player "3" to use player "4" save data when there are not 4 players present. In addition to this, controllers detected on the PC will prompt the player to ask if they would like to add a split-screen player, not doing so automatically for all detected controllers.

Gameplay

Greetings Adventurers! This weeks patch brings the next phase of class improvements to the game, a new test area and some bug fixes.

New Combat Testing Area

We have heard from the players that they would like an area in game to test out abilities, rotations and setups outside of standard dungeon combat. Players can find a new area in the latest patch in the Crypt of Horrors dungeon to do this. The camp is located outside the dungeon gates just down the road from where players load in to the dungeon. There is a single target dummy for solo testing and a few target dummies in close proximity for larger group testing. We intend to possibly add more things to this area in the future.

Class Improvements

We will begin our next phase of improving the classes over the coming months. Below is a list of the initial changes. Champion

• Reduced the cooldown of Chaos Orb
• Increased the damage of Flame Blast and Meteor bonus given by Vestments of Destruction Set

Hello adventurers! We are excited to bring you the latest dungeon update, along with additional content and improvements to Dungeons of Sundaria.

The Dreadforge

The Dreadforge is the 6th dungeon to arrive in Dungeons of Sundaria. Introducing 16 new bosses, a new Class Weapon Set, and deadly new enemies. We hope The Dreadforge will be an engaging and challenging new dungeon experience for all you adventurers.

Singen Vagabond Barber Extraordinaire

Singen has finally unlocked his true potential. Hes become a master of the barbering ways, although hes still grumpy old Singen. He has opened up shop in the Galdrins Crossing Hovel! Visit him to change or customize your character, including race, gender, and appearance.

Crafting 2.0 - Star Level Upgrades

A mysterious new villager who goes by the name of Gweyir Dorra has arrived in Galdrins Crossing. Gweyir provides players with the magical means to increase the Star Level on items.

Upgrade at Gweyir Dorra

Gweyir Dorra is a new NPC who resides at the Blacksmith in Galdrins Crossing. Players may speak with Gweyir Dorra to add and upgrade the Star Level of items. Gweyir can add and upgrade the star level on Level 15 and higher Superior, Rare, Epic, Legendary, and Eternal items. How it Works To begin adding and upgrading the Star Level of an item, speak with Gweyir Dorra and select an item.
After selecting an item, players will be able to view the item at the current Star Level and the upgraded Star Level. The type of attributes and bonuses will remain the same when upgrading an item, but with an increased Star Level for higher values. In order to add and upgrade the next Star Level of an item, players will be required to offer Gweyir some Essence, Gold, and a new item a Magical Core.
Magical Cores are a new item required to add and upgrade the Star Level of items and may be obtained from Dungeon bosses. While the end boss of a Nightmare or higher difficulty dungeon will always drop a Magical Core, players will still sometimes find Magical Cores from lesser bosses and in easier dungeons. In addition to requiring Gold and Magical Cores, players will also need to provide Gweyir with enough Essence. The quality of Essence required corresponds to the Quality of the item being upgraded. Finally, the maximum Star Level of an item will be limited by the Quality of the item. The following is the maximum Star Level of an item based on quality:

• Superior 1 Star
• Rare 2 Stars
• Epic 3 Stars
• Legendary 4 Stars
• Eternal 5 Stars
• ??? 6 Stars

New Item Attribute Account Bound

We have been listening closely to your feedback and are happy to introduce the new Account Bound item property! Previously, items were often Soulbound, and this prevented players from trading items between their own heroes. Account Bound items allow players to freely store and transfer items through the Bank among all heroes on their account.

New Feature Account Wide Dungeon Unlocks

We are pleased to announce that unlocking new dungeons and difficulties is now account-wide. When a player unlocks a new dungeon or difficulty on one hero, that dungeon and difficulty will be unlocked for all heroes on your account.

New Feature Party Level Range Selector

We are happy to announce the implementation of a level range selector in the party tab. Players can now select the level range they want to allow into their party. This will enable players to focus their groups on a specific level range suited to their desired multiplayer experience.

New Feature Improved Backup System

There have been some unfortunate save data losses occurring for a few of our players. As such, weve decided to upgrade how we perform saves within Dungeons of Sundaria. Were happy to announce that we have revamped the existing save functionality and have created a new Backup system. Dungeons of Sundaria now creates and maintains the last 5 restore points for player accounts. These restore points are automatically created whenever a player completes a major milestone, such as reaching a dungeon checkpoint or defeating a dungeon boss. In the event of an unexpected game crash or other events that may have caused data loss in the past, now players should be able to view and restore their account from one of the created Backup restore points. How it Works On the Hero Selection screen, players will see a new Backup button below their hero list. Selecting this option will open the Load Backup UI menu. From here, players may select and preview an existing Backup restore point.
Previewing a Backup restore point will allow players to enter Galdrins Crossing on their Backup heroes to review the backup restore point.
While previewing a backup restore point, performing transactions in town, crafting items, or entering a dungeon will cause the previewed backup to become the current state. This will remove all existing backup restore points. The character icon and level highlighted in a yellow border refers to the character played during that save. If a player wants to stop previewing the backup restore point, they may simply return to the Select Hero menu, choose Backups and revert the backup restore point back to the current game state.
We would like to extend our apologies to players that have experienced data loss issues. We hope the new Backup Feature will add a layer of security to player data that was previously missing.

Looking Ahead to 2023

While we are excited to bring the above features to Dungeons of Sundaria, we have also been hard at work on the remaining Dungeons and other features expected for release in 2023.

The Dreadforge

The Dreadforge will be the 6th dungeon to arrive in Dungeons of Sundaria very soon. With 16 new bosses, a new Class Weapon Set, and deadly new enemies, The Dreadforge will definitely be an engaging and challenging new dungeon experience for players.

The Festering Bog

At the foot of the Ragewind Mountains lies a vast bog. Corpses have decomposed into a great festering peat for centuries as armies sought to siege the mountain castle. Now, this bogland is enthralled by a great host of Undead, with their shambling husks wandering the murky waters.
The Festering Bog will be the 7th dungeon to arrive in Dungeons of Sundaria. We will be providing additional information about the Festering Bog in a future developer update. This is the start of what we hope will be rewarding and engaging new systems and dungeons for players to further improve and challenge their heroes within Dungeons of Sundaria. See you all in the Dungeons!

Hello adventurers!

We are excited to bring you the first dungeon update, along with additional content and improvements to the game.

The Icy Depths

Legend speaks of a ruined city buried deep within the Teberon Mountain Range to the north. The mountains are treacherous. Few Sundarians dare travel this far north. Whispers float down to Galdrin's Crossing, speaking of Goblins - blue of skin and glowing eyes, feasting upon the power of the mountain. As you approach a ruined city on the far side of a lake, you gaze up in horror at a monstrous crowned skull carved deep within the rock. The Icy Depths is a new dungeon to explore, and with over a dozen new bosses, its sure to challenge the most seasoned veterans!

Goblins, goblins, goblins!

We are excited to introduce a new playable race for our players; Goblins have finally come to Galdrins Crossing. Players may now choose this race during character creation. We heard from players that they would like to change an existing character to another race, and this is a feature we are working on. We look to have this functionality available in the next content release.

New Item Sets

Armor Sets This content release brings with it new armor sets for all classes. Players will be able to receive set items as drops in addition to the fragments to purchase patterns for these sets. We will release the base armor set (non-set bonus armor) in two parts, with half of these patterns being available in this release and the remaining half being released with the next content release. Weapon Sets This content release introduces a new three-piece set for each class, including a new weapon. In addition, these sets will have ability bonuses like the new and existing armor sets. Additional Essence Caches We have heard feedback from our players regarding increasing the amount of essence that bosses will drop. We have added caches to specific bosses throughout the dungeons that will drop more essence for each player. In addition to this, the essence dropped will be at +1 quality (Normal will drop Epic Essence, etc.) This is our first step to crafting improvements with more coming in the next content release (Star level item improvements).

Improvements

• Fixed Auto-loot items so that they now loot enemies who only have coin
• Fixed issue where set items were not counting toward set bonuses if equipped in a specific order
• Fixed issue where game settings would not save when quitting immediately after adjusting
• Fixed issue with UI text wrapping on purchase menus
• Fixed Issue with adjusting Heroism point increase and resets in multiplayer not saving
• Fixed issue with using back or close keybinds when using the Bank
• Fixed issue with fragments being sellable (enabling them to be accidentally sold)
• Fixed issue with dungeon difficulty delay in some dungeon regions causing loot to be incorrect quality (i.e., Chest of the Seven should now drop appropriate loot quality)
• Fixed issue where Shadow Cloak damage reduction would not decrease damage taken
• Fixed ability description formatting info for the duration in some cases (i.e., 4 seconds + 100% should show 8 seconds, not 5)
• Fixed issue with NPC combat behavior that could cause NPC timeout (NPCs should no longer have delays in between attacks)
• Fixed issue with players losing control (including crowd control or knockback effects) while climbing ladders
• Fixed various crash issues
• Fixed cases where players could not move after being downed or resurrected
• Fixed various impact particles not displaying correctly
• Fixed Drain Life ability on enemies
• Fixed issues with Lady Everleen and Handmaidens not displaying correctly, reduced healing time from 10 seconds to 6 seconds
• Fixed destructibles always affecting enemy navigation even after destruction
• Fixed enemies becoming stuck in combat for seconds without attacking
• Fixed enemies moving through destructible walls that were not yet destroyed
• Fixed characters, especially large ones, culling early when viewed from around corners/walls
• Fixed issue with chat in multiplayer
• Fixed initial camera in town displaying outside the map
• Fixed issues with various VFX that would cause screen artifacts
• Fixed various environmental collision issues
• Fixed issue with various keys being soulbound (they should no longer be)
• Optimized multiple materials and textures improving performance
• Improved NPC Voice Over and Dialogue performance
• Improved Gamepad navigation in certain menus
• Reduced damage dealt by Chancellor Iothir Clones on all difficulties
• Reduced Wutu damage while in Gnoll form.

The Industry Games Team September 21, 2022 Gilbert, AZ From Left: Jason, Jeff, Chad, Thuan, John, Attila, and Warren. Not Pictured: Dominic (Lives East Coast)[hr][/hr] A big thanks to everyone who has played and helped us improve Dungeons of Sundaria during Early Access so far. We are working hard on the next dungeons and are looking forward to these additions and many further improvements. Till next time, Adventurers Industry Games Team

[ 2022-09-30 17:28:06 CET ] [ Original post ]

Another Patch based on player feedback of our Major September Patch less than a week ago. We are iterating to improve game scaling and further balance it for solo and group play. Weve also made another pass on melee combat that makes both the Rogue and Champion feel very accurate and powerful. We have included some beginning improvements to Cleric and Wizard as well. The following fixes and refinements have been made.

SCALING

• Heroism Scaling has been adjusted with a large reduction in NPC health and small increase in NPC damage.
• All classes now start with more health and gain more per level than previous as well.
• Group scaling has been made more consistent reducing NPC health per person added to group. NPC damage increases for players being added has been removed from Normal and Hard difficulties
• Nightmare scaling for health and damage increases have been made consistent across the four current dungeons
• Experience scaling has been increased. We wanted to clarify for players that experience gained while in a group is not split. You get the same base experience for killing an NPC in group as you would solo. In addition to this, players receive a bonus for group play that increases with each player added (ie a 4 player group receives more per NPC killed than a 2 player group). In short, the more players you add the more experience you gain per NPC killed. We did this to incentivize people to play together, so the more the merrier and the faster you will level.
• Item Quality has been overhauled and increased across all qualities starting with Superior (Green). You will now receive more stats per quality increase than previously. You should begin to feel the impact of equipping new gear faster.
• Star items will now have a consistent level increase per star gained, previously some star levels awarded a lower percentage of stats gained than the previous star level.
• Stars on weapons will now contribute a greater increase to stats than they had previously
• Fixed issue with weapon racks not distributing loot evenly among all classes (drop rates are now equal for all class items for all weapon racks).
• Increased the quality of items that drop from the tombs in Crypt of Horrors. Destructible loot distribution is unchanged.

ABILITIES

• Increased Channel Heal range by 30%
• Increased damage and knockback range on Holy Blast
• Increased damage on Holy Light
• Increased damage on Heavenly Strike
• Reduced cooldown of Avatar
• Increased damage of Ember Lance
• Reduced damage of Cone of Fire
• Increased player Meteor cast speed by 15%
• Increased knockback range on Flame Blast
• Increased range of Sleep
• Attached collision updates for Slash
• Attached collision updates for Eviscerate
• Increased collision box size and adjust some notifies on Slash montages
• Law of the Zealot and Kindled set bonuses improved (added 15% Critical Damage and 30 Spell Penetration)
• Ember Eruption has been adjusted. We have plans to further change Ember Eruption in the future but the functionality has been adjusted to be more clear. While teleporting player functionality could become unstable if an ability was used. To fix this the animation will be locked during the ability for it's duration. As a tradeoff we decided to grant the player immunity from damage for the duration of the ability.

SPLIT-SCREEN

• Split Screen - players can now manage their inventories independent of other players.
• Split Screen - Option to increase font size added to the Options menu. Affects ALL font including items in Split-screen which dramatically improves the legibility of text in this mode.
• Split Screen - Fixed bug where players joining a game already in progress were unable to focus input on the name while creating a new character.

Loot Improvements

• Previously players had two options for loot, Free-for-All and Round Robin. Previously Round Robin would award loot that appeared Free-for-All but it was proximity loot at the group leaders level.
• Players now have three loot options to choose from. Round Robin, Round Robin (Smart) and Free-for-All.
• Dungeon Loot settings are locked during dungeon runs and must be changed prior to loading a dungeon. Dungeon Loot type currently cannot be changed during a dungeon run. We are working to add this functionality.
• Round Robin - Loot is awarded Round Robin regardless of player proximity to one another
• Round Robin (Smart) - Loot is awarded Round Robin based on player proximity to the kill
• Free-For-All - Loot is awarded to the first person to loot the object.
• When either Round Robin or Round Robin (Smart) loot is selected and a player kills an NPC (and NPCs only). The players level will be used to determine the item level for armor, weapons, etc. Players in the proximity of the kill will be on the eligible list for the item to be their level. Whoever "owns" the loot ability, it will be at their level when looted.
• Boss Chests will drop level based loot.
• NOTE: Loot from objects such as destructibles, weapon racks, tombs, chests and other non NPC generated loot objects will continue to scale at the group leaders level in all loot types. We looked at adjusting this but this is not a trivial adjustment due to game optimization reasons. There are no plans to adjust object loot level at this time.
• The proximity for loot ownership determination is approximately 40 meters.
• Non item based loot (silver, gold) will continue to be/appear Free-for-All

SYSTEMS/GAMEPLAY

• Added Loot Level for Round Robin corpses and Boss Chests is now based on the looting players level
• Added Boss chests request an immediate save of player data
• Added AI updates for flying creatures
• Combat Improvement: Player animation frames are never dropped due to performance load balancing, resulting in same-accuracy of hits at all times
• Improved (reduced) the time it takes for loot to generate for chests
• Increased Item stats by quality (% increase per quality type)
• Increased star level stats on weapons
• Improved star stat level progression, now more consistent (10%) per level
• Improved Accept distance for Pick Ability AI Task uses the MAX(ability range, capsule radii) instead of adding them together
• Improved Tether check alternates between self and target distance checking
• Fixed achievements not completing when there are multiple players in the party
• Added Item detail and currency widgets support Increase Font Size
• Fixed Only host and owning client disable URO of player character mesh
• Fixed Character base supports vector offset for capsule attached components and disable URO on player controlled meshes
• Fixed RPC player preference changes to host so they are not lost when receiving persistence
• Fixed Eviscerate animations
• Fixed Last Target set if attacked but not attacking a current target
• Fixed exclusive input locking in split screen
• Fixed essence conversion not functioning correctly on clients
• Fixed incositency in Juran wasp phase. Juran should fly out of range, prompting players to dispatch added NPCs to return Juran to fight
• Fixed Juran combat height/auto height ability for wasp types.
• Fixed Iothir drain life and strength debuff not marked with asset tags as debuffs
• Fixed bad melee distance values AI were stuck on
• Fixed bad melee distance, likely causing range hysteresis of AI in melee
• Fixed Hud stats picks up instigator as last target when no target set
• Fixed Iothir drain life and strength debuff
• Fixed player preferences not saved when changed on the client

Melee Combat Improvements

Hitboxes

Weve listened to your feedback and spent a considerable amount of effort to completely revamp Melee Combat. Weapons will now hit based upon the weapon impact points on the foes you are fighting (and even multiple enemies). Also, larger weapons, now have appropriate hitboxes for their size while smaller weapons have been adjusted to match those as well. We believe that the melee combat experience is an improvement and look forward to your continued feedback. For the melee-based characters Rogue and Champion, the reticle will now be OFF by default but can be turned on in the Options Menu.

Melee Feedback while playing

In addition to improved hitbox detection, we have enhanced the impact animations and blood as well. We wanted to give the combat a more visceral feel and believe that this moves us closer to what players expect in a dungeon runner where you are fighting hordes of monsters.

Bank

The Galdrins Crossing bank is now open for business. Players will be able to store items in the bank and access them with all characters on their account. This was a heavily requested feature and as handy as it is we can see why.

Localization

Weve added TEXT translations to the game in the following languages: Chinese, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish, and Turkish We hope this improves the game experience for the players who prefer these languages.

Data Integrity

In some rare instances during multiplayer disconnects, players data would be corrupted and lost. We greatly apologize to any players that have encountered this problems and lost characters as a result. Weve reworked player save data and included redundant save functionality to eliminate this completely. We thank you for your patience while we worked through this in Early Access.

Class Improvements

While the bulk of the class improvements were focused on the Champion and Rogue, we did address several issues that were brought to us by players for other classes.

Champion

• Overhaul of character targeting. Weapon hitboxes closely approximate the weapon held in terms of hit/damage location.

[hr][/hr] Greetings Adventurers! The time has come to bring to you the second dev log for Dungeons of Sundaria. This time it is all about the legendary Dreadforge, a fiery canyon filled with Orcs. Please note that everything shown here is still a WIP and is coming soon! Now let's jump into the canyon that is Dreadforge. [hr][/hr]

The Dreadforge

After traveling for days through this blistered land, you gaze ahead to a canyon carved deep within the desert the slight breeze bringing some respite. Could this be the home of the legendary Dreadforge? You hear growls and grunts coming from the canyon below. Concealed by smoke and ash, you are unable to make out the figures, but know all too well that they are Orcs. A sense of unease overtakes you; something has changed and only your keen senses pick up the subtle cues. The air is still. The canyon grows quiet. In the distance, you hear a mighty roar.









[hr][/hr]

Conclusion

That concludes the second Developer Journal, Adventurers! We welcome you to continue the discussion on our Discord server! Also follow Dungeons of Sundaria on Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook. Till next time, Adventurers Industry Games Team

[hr][/hr] Greetings Adventurers! We are excited to bring to you the very first dev log for Dungeons of Sundaria. We will be doing these to show you some sneak peeks and development progress on future updates for DoS! This first one starts strong as well, with a new dungeon, improvements to melee, new languages, and more! Please note that everything shown here is still a WIP and is coming soon! So without further ado, let's hop into it. [hr][/hr]

New Dungeon Preview #1 The Icy Depths

Deep within the Teberon Mountain Range to the north lies the the human stronghold of Korumak. The mountains are treacherous. Few Sundarians dare travel this far north. Whispers for ages have come to Galdrin's Crossing about the downfall of the human stronghold. Now new rumors of Goblin marauders being seen in the region with icy blue skin and glowing eyes, feasting upon the power of the mountain. As you gather your allies you head to the Korumak on the far side of a lake, you gaze up in horror at a monstrous crowned skull which leads to the Icy Depths.
Above: The main entrance of the Icy Depths!





[hr][/hr]

Melee Combat 2.0

Champions and Rogues are about to turn the pain up to 1000! We've been hard at work on making multiple improvements to melee combat, including improved hitbox precision and enhanced feedback. Players can look forward to improved swing and impact animations, blood splatter visual effects, and sounds. We hope these changes will offer better control to our melee players to improve targeting and make the overall controls feel better. [hr][/hr]

New Languages Supported

We are pleased to announce that the following languages will be supported for all game text: Spanish, Japanese, Turkish, Russian, German, Italian, French, Chinese and Portuguese. Language options may be configured from the in-game Options menu. [hr][/hr]

Account Wide Shared Stash

We are super excited to announce that DoS will be receiving an Account Wide Shared Stash! A notorious Goblin Banker is arriving in Galdrin's Crossing to open the town's first bank. When completed, it will be a full-service shared stash, allowing players to store and transfer items across all heroes on their account. Players will receive their first large lockbox for free and can purchase additional storage space with in-game gold. [hr][/hr]

Conclusion

That concludes the first Developer Journal, Adventurers! This is something we are planning to do very regularly so plan to see a lot more of these in the future.

We are happy to announce that Dungeons of Sundaria will be available on Monday, July 18th! We are a small team of gamers that love making co-op games. We launched our first game, Kings and Heroes a few years ago. The scope of that game was too large and the server costs too high, so we ultimately had to discontinue it. We took what the players told us they liked most about that game, the dungeons, and created Dungeons of Sundaria. This is a stand-alone multiplayer game that operates peer to peer, so it doesnt suffer from any of the cost issues we had with KNH. In all honesty, this is probably the game we should have made first. This game was a labor of love and as a sign of appreciation for all those who played our prior game and gave us the wonderful suggestions to make this game. We will be giving a FREE copy of Dungeons of Sundaria to all players who purchased our prior game Kings and Heroes. Were sure youll feel the care we put into crafting the challenging and fun dungeons and the many systems it contains. Currently there are 4 dungeons, 5 classes and 5 races. We will be adding 4 more dungeons and 2 additional playable races in the coming months for a total of 8 dungeons! This new content will also be released for FREE to all those who have the game. Again, we cant tell you enough how much we appreciate our players and would like to invite you to join us on Discord. Stay up to date on the latest content or stop by just to say hi. https://discord.gg/vchKSmknsb Thanks again, Warren Industry Games
