Darkfall Patch Notes 28 Juin

Analyse par Slashpaf :

Ce patch est presque exclusivement dédié à deux bateaux qui font leur apparition :

• La “Pinnace” (bateau de guerre rapide avec 3 canons)
• Le “Coastal Runner” (bateau rapide sans canon)

Pour les construire, les Chantiers navals (shipyards) et les ports (harbours) font leur apparition dans la liste des structures que l’on peut construire dans les villes joueurs côtières.

La Shipbuilding mastery et 3 nouveaux items servant à la construction de ces navires font leur apparition :

• La “Lodestone” (item lootable avec les Large Treasure Map, et servant à construire le compas)
• Le “Compass” servant à construire la nouvelle classe de bateaux de guerre
• Le “Selentine Ship Module“, servant à construire la Pinnace

Changement du gameplay :

• On peut désormais gank avec un bâton ou un arc équipé
• Le repop des monstres est désormais plus optimisé en fonction du nombre de joueurs sur le spot : avant le tauxde repop ne changeait que pour 1, 3 ou 5 joueurs. Maintenant avec 2 et 4 joueurs le spot sera aussi modifié. De plus à partir de 15 joueurs sur le spot le taux de repop sera très élevé.
• Correction de divers bugs, dont le bug qui excluait des joueurs du round robin, et ameliorations des effets graphiques de certains sorts.

Ils annoncent les changements sur lesquels ils travaillent déjà pour les prochains patchs :

•  Ajout du marché
•  De nouveaux bateaux de guerre
•  De nouveaux donjons
•  Une nouvelle école warrior
•  Des tests de changements sur les sorts de transferts

 La mise à jour complète :

In today’s patch we’re adding two new ships, a warship and a utility ship. We’re also adding Harbors and Shipyards for Clan Cities. We’re adding a new crafting skill and making changes to AI spawn rates along with some requested terrain fixes to protect some clan cities from entry.

New Content

New Crafting Skill: Shipbuilding Mastery (Requires: Shipbuilding 100 and 10.000 Prowess to learn it)

• Shipbuilding Mastery skill added on all Agon Battle Supplier NPCs

This is the prerequisite skill for all warships which are being added to the game along with the other naval combat components starting with today’s patch.

Two new ships have been added to the game:

• Coastal Runner: This is the fastest ship in the game and has no cannons. It can be crafted using Shipbuilding at Workbenches and Shipyards. (Shipbuilding 75)
• Pinnace: This is a fast Warship with 3 cannons. It can be crafted using Shipbuilding Mastery, only in Shipyards. Requires Compass, Ship Modules and Selentine Ship Modules. (Shipbuilding Mastery 1) This is the first of a series of warships to be introduced starting with today’s patch.

New Rare Material: Lodestone: used in Warship crafting.

• Drops from Large Treasure Maps
• Is used to craft Compass (Shipbuilding Mastery 1)

New Item: Compass

• Crafted with Shipbuilding Mastery in Shipyards
• Is used to craft advanced warships

New Item: Selentine Ship Module

• Crafted with Shipbuilding Mastery 1

• Is used to craft the Pinnace

Harbors are now available to build in clan holdings Shipyards are now available to build in clan holdings

Gameplay Changes

• Player Requested : You can now gank using a bow or a staff. (so you don’t need to switch weapons)
• Player Requested: We have tweaked the monster waving mechanic so that it scales with every single player in the spawn up to the current cap. This way 2 or 4 players in a spawn will now also trigger faster respawn of monsters. (previously it was 3 players or 5 players).
  • Bonus Feature: If 15 players or more are in a spawnpoint, monster respawn rate will go into frenzy mode.

General Fixes:

• Fixed a bug where a player could be unintentionally excluded from the round robin system.
• Fixed a bug where skill effects would not display correctly when there was a Tar Plane behind them.
• Various fixes for primalist robes crafting feats
• Fixed the parrying animation for bow to fit the other weapon patterns.
• Fixed a bug that would cause the backpack to lock after starting to rename a bag and pressing ESC.
• Made some handling and speed tweaks for the Fishing Trawler
• Fixed a bug where there was no audio confirmation when opening a chaos chest
• Fixed a bug where if you destroyed a Fishing Trawler you would not be rewarded with prowess points.
• Revamped Monster Visual Effects:
  • Beacon
  • Corrosive Blast
  • Acid Charging
  • Ranged Attack for Troll Warrior and Cave Troll Warrior
  • Acid Arrow
  • Acid Rain
  • Earthquake

Item Changes

• Revamped all 3 Strongboxes. Now they are much smaller than their previous version – now they cannot be used to block entrances

• Updated the Icons for Runestone and Teleport Rune.

Crafting Changes

• Updated Ship Module Shipbuilding Recipe to allow leveling up to 100

World Changes
