Update Notes: December 20, 2019

Holiday Event The Holiday event has begun! Talk to any NPC that you have "Friends" or higher Favor with to receive a present from them. In addition, each city (and some non-city areas) have a Ri-Shin tree that needs decorating. Look for the NPCs with red hats on to get started.

Sun Vale 2.0

This update includes a big change to the Sun Vale map. It has the same content and connections as before, but it looks quite a bit different. (And larger.) This is a 'soft launch' of the new Sun Vale. There's a lot of missing props and some odd graphical issues left to fix, but you can see the bones of the new place and how things are supposed to work together, and we need feedback on that! Sun Vale is for players in the 30-40 level range, so hopefully you can find things worth doing in any level of that range. (But as usual, you may have to explore around a bit to find them.) There are some new things to do, and the "Things to Do" list in your quest journal has been updated to get you started. We'll be doing another pass on Sun Vale soon to incorporate the upcoming playable fairy race. In the short term some Sun Vale NPCs have definitely had a downgrade of their homes -- in fact a bunch of the fairies no longer even have a roof over their heads, let alone any possessions -- but that's temporary. In this particular update we're most interested in game-mechanics feedback: is the combat is survivable? Is it worthwhile? How well do the new mechanics work, and are you able to figure out how everything fits together? That sort of thing. Stun Trap Nerfs

Ability change: Stun Trap has a casting time of 2 seconds; being hit during the casting time aborts.
Ability change: Stun Trap cannot be reused while previous Stun Traps are still active. (You can manually dispel unneeded traps from the Pets window.)
Treasure change: "Stun Trap deals +85% damage to all nearby targets (when it activates)" => now +45% damage
Treasure change: "Stun Trap reuse timer is 16 seconds faster" => now 10 seconds faster

Sushi Roll Nerfs Sushi Roll items have been reduced in effective food level. Theyre intentionally higher-level than their ingredients would suggest... but they went too far, being so overpowered that they made most other cooking recipes irrelevant. They've been toned down a bit while still trying to retain their purpose:

Eel Sushi Roll: went from level 40 to level 30
Cavefish Sushi Roll: from 50 to 35
Shark Sushi Roll: from 60 to 45
Green Vexfish Sushi Roll: from 65 to 50
Crelpin's Sushi: from 72 to 60

Note that the Nigiri recipes from Sushi Preparation have not been changed at this time, although they're also MUCH higher-level than their ingredients would suggest. (Nigiri is instant-healing food which is so good that it basically obsoletes healing potions at high level.) There are pros and cons to having a food item be better than healing potions. One of the cons is that we don't really have room to give Alchemists the ability to brew healing potions. Those potion recipes couldn't possibly be easier or more convenient than "slap two fish slices on storebought rice"! But on the other hand, it's fun flavor for sushi to be the best in-combat healing item. We're still considering the options, and leaving it alone for now. Other Changes

Fixed a bug that caused Electricity Elementals and Cold Elementals to have the same damage-type vulnerabilitites/strengths
Fixed a bug that caused Fire Rats and Pumpkin Mimics to have the same damage-type vulnerabilities/strengths
Giant bats can once again fly inside the Red Wing Casino
A few types of loot swords that were supposed to have holy symbols did not
Rugen in Rahu now trains Fishing up to level 70 (although note that the highest fishing recipe/req is currently 65)
Sushi Preparation now goes to 30 instead of 25. (And for technical reasons Ice Conjuration also goes to 30 instead of 25, although there are no new recipes for it yet)
Rabbit: the ability Long Ear can now be placed on the side ability bar
Newbie Island: added a gentle deterrent for new players who decide to try swimming off the island (which is a reasonable idea, but not successful here)
Ranalon lose their resistance to Nature damage
Higher-level Ranalon loot profiles improved
Added a few "Things to Do" entries for Sun Vale
Cow: new treasure: Head: Chew Cud increases your mitigation versus all attacks by Elites +14 for 10 seconds
Cow: new treasure: Necklace: Stampede boosts your Slashing/Crushing/Piercing Mitigation vs. Elites +6 for 30 seconds (stacks up to 5 times)
Cow: treasure change: "Stampede has a 50% chance to deal +56 damage" => "Stampede boosts the damage of future Stampede attacks by +38 damage for 60 seconds (stacks up to 15 times)"
Cow: treasure change: "Stampede Taunt +310" => +440
The archery ability Acid Arrow is no longer taught by The Wombat. It's now taught by Squidlips.
Recipes for Cavefish Sticks and Spicy Cavefish now use Cavefish Fillets (rather than un-fileted cavefish)
Water Lung Potion: this potion now boosts your Max Breath +10 seconds, instead of reducing your breath-consumption. The recipe now requires oyster meat instead of wool. (The potion's old effect is now granted by a new potion, the "Water Breathing Potion".)
Trollbane Oil: cash value reduced
Swimming Potion: this potion now requires Alchemy level 25 instead of 40. Duration is 30 minutes instead of 60. Recipe no longer requires flour or shark fillet, instead requiring an eel fillet
You now earn synergy levels in Fishing by reaching the following levels in other skills (previously only Knife Fighting 22 provided a synergy level):
- Knife Fighting 22,
- Knife Fighting 55,
- Cooking 35,
- Foraging 22,
- Foraging 65,
- Animal Handing 22,
- Animal Handling 55,
- Skinning 25,
- Fish and Snail Anatomy 22,
- Surveying 25,
- Druid 65,
- Nature Appreciation 22,

- Psychology 22
Daisy now trains the recipe for Trollbane Oil. (It is also still dropped as a loot recipe)
Fixed bug that prevented Bounceweed from giving Giant Bats bonus flight speed
Fixed some base-stats of items (which were statted for the wrong level range):
- Un-Tal bow: Archery Damage +10% -> +8%
- Quality Cestus: Unarmed Damage +2 -> +5

GO ON AN ADVENTURE

Project: Gorgon is a 3D fantasy MMORPG (massively-multiplayer online role-playing game) featuring an immersive experience that allows the player to forge their own path through exploration and discovery. We don't guide you through a world on rails, and as a result, there are many hidden secrets awaiting discovery. Project: Gorgon also features an ambitious skill-based leveling system that bucks the current trend of pre-determined classes, allowing the player to combine skills in order to create a truly unique playing experience.

AN IMMERSIVE WORLD

When you play Project: Gorgon, we want you to feel as if you’re immersed in a whole new virtual world. Rather than trying to manage this with just graphics and excessive backstory, we’ve designed the game with dozens of gameplay features that make you feel like you’re really there interacting with the world, such as:

Each non-player (NPC) you meet has their own goals and interest, and reward players that choose to be their friend.
You can drop items on the ground, and other players can pick them up. What’s so great about that? Imagine laying down a trail of literal (virtual) breadcrumbs to guide your friends (or lure your enemies) into the woods.
Shopkeepers keep inventory, so you can buy items that other players have sold to them. Want to help out new players? Sell your cast-off items to the shopkeeper in the new player zone and watch the new players go to town.
If you are on fire, you can jump into a lake to put it out. This type of mechanic can have a subtle effect on your strategies, especially when you are fighting a fire mage!
You can inscribe messages onto items, write books, and even leave notes for other players. Make your name as an in-game poet, or pronounce your greatness to the world!

UNIQUE EXPERIENCES

In Project: Gorgon you kill monsters - a lot of them - and you take their loot. In order to keep the experience fun and interesting, we’ve developed unique combat experiences to keep the fights feeling fresh. The loot is randomly generated, monsters have unique abilities, and dungeons have puzzles, traps, and terrifying bosses! The combat skills are entirely free-form. You can learn as many combat skills as you want, and use any two of them at the same time to create your own personal “class.” Project: Gorgon features dozens to choose from, including:

Battle Chemistry: Create huge explosions, inject yourself with mysterious mutagens or program a pet golem!
Unarmed Combat: Grapple and control enemies using a situational-aware combo system that varies based on where you are and what day it is.
Animal Handling: Tame animals and train them to become ferocious fighters. Then breed your best and sell their offspring to other players.
Necromancy: Seek out corpses and graveyards to raise an undead army. No graveyard around? Well, there are always the corpses of your friends.
Cow: Got turned into a cow by that boss? That sucks. But learn some kicks and how to stampede, and you'll be right back out there kicking grass in no time!
That’s just a few! There’s also Sword Fighting, Combat Psychology, Staff Fighting, Sigil Scripting, Mentalism, and more.

Player Choices are important in Project: Gorgon. You can learn as many skills as you want, but sometimes power comes with downsides. You can become infected with lycanthropy and gain access to very powerful skill sets. As a lycanthrope, you are able to roam the world in a pack or as a lone wolf; however, when there is a full moon (which is tied to the real world lunar calendar) you are stuck in your beast form. There’s no cure for lycanthropy.

You can become a Druid - which will give you great power, but you have to vow to drop everything when there’s an emergency involving nature. It could be a forest fire, a monster invasion or even a pesky insect. Nature never lets you ignore your duties, ever.

New opportunists come open, but others will be closed. Can you bear heavy burdens in exchange for greater power?

JOIN THE COMMUNITY

The community is a critical aspect of Project: Gorgon. We strive to maintain a strong, engaged community, supporting our players through:

Live Events with a focus on story.
Mechanisms For player-created quest content.
Player housing (limited and instanced).
Player-managed shops and vendor stalls.
In-game communication tools like bulletin boards.
Bookshelves where you can write and submit your own books and stories (and players can vote on their favorites).

HELP DEFINE THE GAME

During our beta ("early access") period, your feedback helps improve the game, from small things like bug-reports to large things like new skill suggestions, monster ideas, and more! We've already used hundreds of player-provided suggestions during our alpha period, and we'll use even more suggestions during beta as we get into the down-and-dirty details of combat, crafting, and exploration.
