Update 0.94.1274

Dear friends,

This is the first of a series of big updates we’ve planned for November.

This month, we are also planning to introduce considerable changes to Vocation balance. Besides, all players will have access to 4-6 stages of Vocations with minimal requirements, but all that’s information for a separate announcement.

You’ll find day-off fixes and changes at the end of the patch note.

The Way for All

Experience:

Changed the proportion of XP gains in PvE: decreased the final blow XP but increased the overall XP gain;
on average, players will get more XP;
using AOE for leveling will be more effective (but there’ll still be no XP for using buffs);

Т5-Т12 containers:

A considerable increase of crafter NPC DVB to minimize the effect of demand on prices;
A number of positive changes in the weight and carrying capacity of T8, T10, T11 containers;

The Way for Beginners

Northern T1 Counties:

Are wholly filled with lower-level mobs (previously, such spawners were only places around starting villages);
Mob loot drops were updated to match that of mobs from T1 southern counties;

Rivulet Island rings:

Updated their bonuses to +14;
added quests to get their full set;
these rings can be enchanted;

The Way for Mids

Fazira

added another Fazira map for levels 51-60 (the previous 41-60 map is restricted to 41-50);
Fazira spiders now give twice as much XP;
Increased the bonuses Fazira rings give per level from +5 to +12 (e.g., Т6 ring gives +72, Т9 gives +108), but their durability was decreased;
added T7-T9 rings and quests to get them;
a substantial reconsideration of Ice Golem loot drops;
added shading to buff duration to make them readable;
decreased the overall brightness of snow and light sources;

Vocations and abilities:

T2 Vocation stage quests can now be completed at T2 Guides. Only T3 quests have to be picked up and completed at Vocation Teachers beyond settlements;
Added tokens leading to Vocation Teachers who give T3 Vocation quests;
Hunter:

by default, gets a passive ability to shoot and reload crossbow while sprinting;

Archmage:

fly speed increased 3 times, added a visual effect;

Thief:

“Steal Talers” basic ability was replaced with “Elusiveness”;
The quest that gave “Elusiveness” now gives a new ability — “Pretend”;

Anti-invisibility:

added a new ability and a quest to get it:

applies an affect on a caster that dispels all invisibility effects around them in N radius for n seconds, depleting caster’s HP and MP;

Assassin’s Invisibility:

allows only 1H sword attacks; 3/4/5 chargers for T1/T2/T3 levels of the ability;
increased duration;
slightly decreased CD;

Thief’s Invisibility:

1 charge on every stage of the Vocation;
increased duration;
decreased CD;

Magic

General:

Medium projectiles and AOE (and other magic with long casting time) now use the area or direction that was chosen at the end of its casting time;

Pasive HP/MP regeneration powders:

250-450% more effective
now have greater requirements;
added R1 concentration—don't dispel on death, longer duration, but they tick 30% less frequently;

AOE:

Disable sprinting while casting;
Casting time increased to 1,5;
Earth: increased range, speed, decreased CD, added 2 second long stun on hitting a character with the projectile;
Air: increased range, slightly increased CD;
Water: decreased the number of damage ticks, increased the interval between ticks, decreased CD;

Dispels:

Significantly increased range, speed, and flight speed for tier cycles;
Fixed the wrong radius of the projectile;

Air Slow (Wind):

Decreased CD;

Refining and Crafting

Recalculated the bonuses for having extra crafting points while crafting and enchanting:

extra crafting points give a considerable bonus to item quality within the recipe’s quality range and much lower bonuses beyond it;
the lower the quality of a recipe, the greater the bonus from extra points;
reasonably decreased the bonus for extra crafting points when enchanting items with unmatching recipes;

Fixed wrong results of resource refining, including merging and splitting;
Cauldron durability is now visible in both item and brewing widgets;
Fixed using the last point of durability for multiple brewings;

Addressing Old Issues

Fixed excessive loading of sublevels on the client when entering town and castle zones;
The third-person camera now looks over the shoulder, and the aiming reticle has full functionality;
Fixed incomplete quest progress tracking for gathering quests when filling stacks from different items with varying quality;
Respawning for players with neutral or higher karma in T2 counties now occurs in mini-locations with a Green Zone and teleport (as T2 settlements have not yet been introduced);
Fixed the "Hit the Road" quest, which could fail to count all coins if pelts and some coins were turned in simultaneously;

Fixes

Boss spawners now have a single fixed respawn offset for any level (+/- 1 in-game hour);
The bleeding and vampirism skills no longer scale with the caster's MA (Magic Attack);
Northerners were reducing PA (Physical Attack) by 90% for one debuff instead of 10%. Now, both debuffs reduce it by 20% each;
Chat: Improved tab functionality, chat menu, and the chat is now in a separate window;
Fixed several problematic collision errors in level 60 castles;
Localization and Descriptions:

Fixed localization of ring enchantments;
Corrected the names of enchantments in the large and small “Life” and “Health” gear, which were swapped;
Added descriptions of the components of the large and small gear in the enchantment descriptions;
Fixed localization of quests and items.

Changes

Intermediate character backup is now every 2 minutes (previously 10);
Characters are no longer deleted;
An additional check has been added every 5 minutes to ensure the character is in the game;
