Patch Notes 27.7.X.14 (2017/05/18) • r/RotMG

Hey everyone!

This month, we decided to invest time on necessary backend changes to improve the game’s stability and performance. This is an ongoing effort that we think most of you will agree to prioritize over always pumping in new content all the time. That being said, we’re not leaving you dry! We added a slightly reworked Cave of a Thousand Treasure as drop in Godlands, and you can meet your new best buddy in your Guild Hall: Friendly Guill, the Guild Guy.

We also allocated a significant amount of time in fixing some legacy bugs and adding a bunch of UI improvements that we hope you will enjoy and give constructive feedback on.

You can discover the changes below, in the Patch Note details:

---

New!

• Djinns in Goldlands now have a low chance to drop a portal to the Cave of a Thousand Treasures!

• Guill the friendly guild NPC is now ready and eager to serve! Don’t be shy, say hello to him. You’ll find him in your Guild Hall.

---

Tweaks & Fixes

• Disconnect Timeout has been lowered from 10 minutes to 2 minutes

• Optimized character list loading time for players with a large amount of items

• Scrolling through the In-game news using the mouse wheel no longer activates zooming on the minimap

• Fixed a disconnect issue in the Cave of a Thousand Treasures and re-designed flame trap room

• Lair of Draconis minions needed for progression no longer get stuck in walls

• Character Slot Unlocker and Vault Unlocker items are now only usable in the vault

• Mysterious Crystals, Dragon Eggs and Sumo Masters will now spawn with their own tile to remove obstacles

• After the Hermit God dies, the deep water will turn into normal water after a short while (no more lost loot!)

• Arrow feathers from Bow of Fey Magic should now be purple to be consistent with other bows

• Green Satellite (monster) no longer loses a piece of itself when flying around

• Skins now always display the Skin Class in the item description

• Pet Stones now always display the Family Change warning message in the item description

• Reduced Avatar of the Forgotten King spam, Killer Pillar phase is now only announced by the Avatar itself

• Fixed a few typos in item descriptions and Oryx taunts

UI Update

• Quest arrow/portrait now updates immediately

• The experimental “decamenu” is now active by default

• Added experimental toggle option to display how many potions of a certain stat are still needed to max it, applies to both selection screen hover and in game stats panel (only when level 20, disabled by default)

• Added experimental mini-map toggle option for slightly different colors for locked/unlocked players, locked/unlocked guild mates and locked/unlocked white names (disabled by default)

• Added a new cursor and fixed existing ones (thanks to Chvzto!)

---

Cosmetics

• Fix to the following Skins / Dye Masks: Slime Rogue

That’s it for now! Big thanks to all our testers out there, you know who you are! Please note that we welcome feedback on the UI changes, such as the minimap colors - so don’t hesitate to drop a word. As usual if you have questions, remarks or suggestions, fire away!

And don’t worry, Muledump will still be usable with the changes, simply add &muleDump=true to the URL parameters.

Disconnect Timeout has been lowered from 10 minutes to 2 minutes

best part tbh

[Unicorn]

Lol you got ninjad on phone.

@moderators all done.

@candyshi yeah I realized afterwards, phone is a pain.

[Niegil]

Because I was editting, I was about to press post when “1 new topic”

[CandyShi]

You got ninja’d too @Mynamerr

Uni beat you to it

[CandyShi]

No mine was first

That’s… what I said…

[ThreeDog]

can anyone get in the game atm?

[CandyShi]

locked/unlocked players, locked/unlocked guild mates and locked/unlocked white names (disabled by default)

Easily my favorite part.

[Mynamerr]

yes

[Survivor]

I can.

ninja’d

[Survivor]

What does guill say about the secret room?

[Unicorn]

locked/unlocked players, locked/unlocked guild mates and locked/unlocked white names (disabled by default)

Easily my favorite part.

Yeah, another previously hacked client exclusive feature. But I like.

Anyone know own what it means by adding the muledump parameter? Like something in the accounts.js file?

[ThreeDog]

are you using flash ?

[CandyShi]

What does quill say about the secret room

“Shh it’s a sekret c:?”

“Open sesame?”

“It’s pizza time?”

I can’t get on the game rn (school) so cana someone put pics of the new things?

pls?

[Survivor]

yes

[Survivor]

[Survivor]

For some reason open sesame doesn’t seem to work the way it should for me.

I am at the correct location, the room opens when I say it, but he still says this.

[Werbenja]

Oh my, these are delicious!

Disconnect Timeout has been lowered from 10 minutes to 2 minutes

Weird, they can’t remove it but they can tweak it. Better than nothing I guess.

Quest arrow/portrait now updates immediately

All those UI changes fill me with joy and this here is the best part. Can’t open the game right now, can someone test it please?

And don’t worry, Muledump will still be usable with the changes, simply add &muleDump=true to the URL parameters.

This could be explained better, where exactly should add &muleDump=true? I realoaded muledump right now without changing anything and it does not show what I have in vaults/gift chests, only what I have on the characters.

[JonassMann]

Okay, all of the QoL stuff is great, but Guill might be my fav part of the update.

“Will the real Puppet Master please stand up?”
“Who knew Cloaks are basically hazmat suits?”

You did good Deca.

[JonassMann]

And apparently you can type “hp” or “mp” to get free hp and mp pots.
There seems to be a cooldown tho.

Edit: Cooldown is only 30 sec.
