QA March 2024

Undone

Codemaster
Stormhaven Studios
Characters have been copied to QA as of March 19th, 2024 @ 11am CDT.
  • New Solo Loops:
    • Spinner's Recluse
    • Derelict Sanctuary
    • Basilisk's Run
    • Arkhos' Lair
    • Cragscale Caverns
  • Added the ability to inspect other player's equipment.
    • Can only be requested once every 1s to avoid server spam and performance issues.
    • You can disallow others to inspect you by removing the checkmark next to the magnifying glass icon on your equipment page (next to your title drop down).
    • You are sent a notification when someone inspects you.
    • Can be done via chat command "/inspect <player name>" if you are within range.
    • Once the inspection window is open it is "static". This means that any equipment changes from the target player will not be reflected until you re-inspect them. This also means that if the target player moves away or logs off you can still view their equipment as long as the window remains open.
    • Currently does not include your torch, tools, or ember stone. The cosmetic slot will appear in the center of the window where the ember stone typically is.
  • Added None/Greed/Pass auto loot options to the Gameplay Options menu for:
    • Known Recipes
    • Non-Usable Recipes (not for your professions)
    • Non-Usable Reagents (not for your spec or base role)
    • Basic Items (excludes recipes and reagents)
  • Custom LFG and LFM notes can be added to an entry. This feature is not available for trial players.
  • Fixed a layout issue with the LFG panel when resizing the window.
  • Log window button in the upper right now highlights briefly when a quest, task, or tutorial is updated.
  • Map window button in the upper right now highlights briefly when a region or poi is discovered.
  • Added a keybind to drag corpses. This will first look to see if you have a corpse within range, and if not it will select the closest group member bag to drag (if you have permissions). This feature has a 1s limiter to prevent server spam and performance issues.
  • Renamed Spring Water to Rain Water
  • Fixed a typo in an npc emote.
  • Increased respawn rate for 1^ Drybone Marauders in Dryfoot Stronghold.
  • Decrease innate avoidance for 1^ and 2^ Bats, Emberflies, and Spiders. 1^ now has the least amount of avoid, 2^ has a bit more, and 3^ has the normal amount.
  • Added a new icon to items that are in need of repair. This shows when these items have diminished effectiveness (weapons & armor) due to low durability.
  • Allow generic cloth to be used for ground torch recipes.
  • Fixed audio filters on Ashen Gaunts.
  • Fixed an issue preventing mobs from resetting to their spawned rotation when returning to their spawn point.
  • Added some information and props to a Meadowlands task requiring an emote on top of a certain rock.
  • Tutorial tab is now the right most tab in the log UI.
  • Fixed some environmental issues and stuck spots in some dungeon rooms.
  • Fixed stuck spots in Newhaven Valley, Northreach, Newhaven City, Dryfoot, and Highlands, Ember Veins, Central Veins.
  • Slightly raised Monolith teleport spot to reduce the chance of falling through the world.
  • Disabled fog anisotropy on the login scene for improved performance.
  • Improved the return behavior of static spawning mobs (ones that do not wander); they will now more readily and accurately return to their spawn spot.
  • We have updated the bounty tasks for hunting uncommon creatures. These tasks will have an additional objective to hunt for creatures that potentially could respawn as the uncommon type. For example a task that previously asked you to kill 5 Sap Spiders. At times there may be no Sap Spiders spawned, leading to some confusion. So the task has been updated to kill 3 Sap Spiders and additionally kill 12 of any spider. The goal with this is to ensure there is this affirmation of killing place holders for the uncommon types as also being intended as part of the task.
  • New clients & servers are running Unity 2022.
  • Added stalkers to all zones except for Newhaven Valley
  • Fixed typo in Patrolling Northreach
  • Closed open cabin in Meadowlands
  • Improved resist tooltips to indicate that it gives you a chance to fully resist.
  • Added a graphics option for "High Resolution Sun Shadows". This may have a significant performance impact so use with care!
  • Updated a number of tasks and their descriptions.
  • Added a mail system that allows for sending/receiving mail. This system allows you to also send attachments in the form of items and/or money. Finally, you can send these attachments as cash-on-delivery. This system is still in the early testing phase and may be opened up on QA at a later date. This feature will not be available to trial players.

Why not? Maybe you want to sit around and talk about your gear. Maybe you will now inspect their gear. Maybe it will lead to a new social interaction that you wouldn't have had previously. This is a simple chat notification in your chat window. There are no pings, no audio, just a chat notification. Ignore it if you want.

ok as long as its not spammy. I hope most people don't feel a need to hide their equipment.
 
It is not currently accessible.


Need more details.
All sounds didn't work when I logged into QA.
Exited the game and switched back to Live - sounds were ok.
