• Combat equipment rework: All metal, leather, and cloth equipment and weapons have had their stats reworked. These are intended to be final values for the beta.
  • We wanted to respect the combat triangle and have leather somewhere in the middle.

This update has a lot of code related changes. I'm getting a bit brave with my changes now that we are ~5 months away from beta. I figured I want to get all the big stuff out of the way and break things now than later. Please visit our website to play the alpha NOW! __Update 0.2.18__

• Added the ability to make proper character names! When you log in, you will be prompted to remake your character again and give them a name.
• Did a lot of performance optimization, especially on server side, related to movement, combat, skilling, saving, Soak stacks, and physics (overlap detection) with 1000-2000 players for stress testing. All of these systems should work exactly the same, but if they don't, please report it as a bug!

Fixed many issues that we had during Steam's Next Fest that propagated to other issues, like appearing to lose all your stuff when you logged out. I believe this was a combat related bug, where your player died and you dropped all your stuff, respawned, and potentially were kicked from the game. If you believe this bug is still occurring, please let us know! Please visit our website to play the alpha NOW! __Update 0.2.16__

• Fixed a regression with combat events. This caused many problems especially for combat, including no attack animations and getting DC'd during combat, and the appearance of losing your items when you logged back in.
• Added Bank placeholders: Toggle the placeholder button in the bottom right corner of the bank, and withdraw items to leave a placeholder behind. This can help with bank organization. (Note for older players: when withdrawing a randomized equip with placeholders enabled, then depositing it back in, it may not go into the placeholder slot. This is due to some mismatching of old data vs new. To fix this, turn off placeholders, then click the broken placeholder slot to remove it.)
• Fixed the NW portion of the Bayou town being blocked off.
• Added Bayou town lighting
• Added a new enemy: Poachers. They are a stronger variant of Hunters and can be found poaching Boars.
• Fixed projectiles trails not resetting when spawned.
• Added boar sounds.
• Added our first stackable status effect: Soak. Soak will be applied when getting water on you, whether its from swimming or a water-based attack or skill. You will have water particles dripping from you when soaked. Soak will help you remove burns, prevent them, and reduce their damage on you. Later on, it will also interact with static damage and freezing status.
• Started overhauling the UI to scale better, mainly in the login menu and main player UI. From now on, the UI will remain a constant size so it looks good on all resolutions. Please let me know if anything looks off! There will also be an option to scale up the UI in a future update. (This might look awful on android atm)
• Improved movement prediction with larger amounts of network drops
