Patch Notes 27.7.X10

January 12

Happy New Year!

After a short break for the holidays, we came back to a fun bunch of bots trying to crash our servers. We modified a few things and they should no longer be able to do any harm.

Also behind the scenes, we’ve been working on new features and the longer term projects we discussed in our last producer letter. It’s sometimes slow going (trying to get it right), but we’re committed to continue to provide at least small updates as we go to make sure the game stays fresh.

Today we have a small release with a few bug fixes, skins and pet stones.

Fixes

  • Fixed pet sprite sizes in the UI
  • Fixed stacking pet tool tip in the pet yard

New

Changed

  • Removed candy cane items

Patch Notes 27.7.X11 - The Guildening

February 28

Hey there people!

In this update we’re updating the Guild Halls and adding a Login Calendar filled with goodies which will start in March, along with a few minor changes.

New:
Login Calendar

  • EDIT 2: Calendar is fixed now! Go get your rewards!
  • Coming up in March you should be getting a daily pop-up reminding you to check your login calendar for free items.
  • You will find the Login Calendar NPC next to the Tinkerer in his cave.
  • There are two different calendars each with its own set of items
    • The Non-Consecutive Calendar (1st Tab) will update every day you login on Realm.
    • The Consecutive Calendar (2nd Tab) will need you to come back every day - if you miss a day it will reset to Day 1!
    • On both calendar, each reward can only be claimed once.
  • The Calendar will be reset at the start of every month, so don’t forget to claim your rewards before April or they will disappear!
  • In case you run into any bug, please send us a ticket with as much info (and screenshots if applicable) as possible!

Updated
Guild Halls

  • The Guild Hall have been updated for convenience based on the different Guild Levels! Depending on your Guild Level, you will also have access directly to the Pet Yard, Quest Room and Wardrobe!

Fixed

  • Account Creation Confirmation Mail no longer links to Wildshadow’s non-existent Blog. Totally in time, wooh us!
  • The Tinkerer now sits behind his desk in the Quest Room instead of chilling in front of it like an adorable doofus.
  • Updated a few item sprites (Enchanted Ice Shard, Ring of the Northern Light, Frimarra)
  • To avoid a bug where Skin Items would sometimes be consumed without the Skin being unlocked (due to massive lag in the Nexus), Skin Items can now only be used in the Vault.

That’s all for now folks! Next update should have quite a few things for you to enjoy!

  • Alchemist & Tinkerer Rework: The Tinkerer & Alchemist are being revamped to allow a better Daily Quest System!
  • The promised Art Contest has unfortunately been on hold for quite some time due to us running out of time (mostly due to bugs and exploits). Don’t despair, it will still happen!
  • Q&A Videos (may only be audio)! A few people have voiced their support for us to do regular Q&A sessions, and we’re exploring the possibility (mostly: do we have enough time).
  • We’re still hard at work to fix the existing bugs and exploits that are plaguing the game! Please remember that using Real World Trading Sites or buying Gold Accounts is strictly forbidden and will get you permanently banned without warning (including your mules and your main account).

That’s it for now! If you have questions, remarks or suggestions, fire away!
