This month's patch includes a number of QoL improvements and polish. Steam integration is about 90% complete and we are hoping to soft launch there at the end of April. We are unlikely to meet our goal of including GP2 & Unity6 with the planned April Steam release (barring any last minute snags). However, these updates should follow shortly afterwards.
Reminder that the game has TEMPORARILY gone completely free to play for everyone including all subscriber perks. For further details on the reasons why please read our most recent press release.

- Tech / NPCs
- Fixed eyes not properly showing on the login scene at night.
- Fixed dead bosses summoning their minions.
- Added exception checks to various code bits.
- Environment / Art
- Fixed an issue with terrain texture packing. This led to a loss of details when blending terrain textures (many times textures would have hard edges, now they should be blended more realistically). This fix is subtle but impacts all overland zones.
- Fixed stuck spots in Grizzled Peaks, Dryfoot, Dryfoot Fortress, Redshore, Highland Hills, Meadowlands, Newhaven Valley, and Newhaven City.
- Fixed stretched terrain textures in Newhaven City.
- Fixed misc. environmental issues in Forgotten Depths.
- Fixed creatures twitching after death (mainly ants).
- Fixed low resolution textures on the city tunnel in Northreach.
- Modified ant death animation to reduce movement off axis. This should make it easier to loot larger ants.
- UI
- Added map zone line buttons between Newhaven Valley, Newhaven City, and Northreach. On the map you can now click on the walls to navigate between these zones.
- Added a chat notification when overhead nameplates are toggled via keybind.
- Added seasons icons.
- Improved the formatting and size of the time window and tooltip.
- Improved the formatting of the social server tooltip (globe icon).
- When holding the "Move UI" keybind the offensive nameplate visuals will now more closely match the actual offensive nameplate (single health bar height).
- Doubled stat bar animation rate when the value is being reduced.
- Notifications Panel:
- Reduced vertical size.
- Added "You have X unread mail!" indicator.
- Circular button is now highlighted when you have unread notifications or unread mail.
- Pressing the dismiss all button will disable the highlight until a new notification or mail comes in, or you zone (which resets the status).
- Note that the unread mail notification will only go away if you READ each individual new message. Simply opening the mail UI does not mark messages as being read.
- Auction House:
- Can now hold SHIFT to view the per-item price on items up for auction.
- Post/Bid/Buy buttons are disabled while editing currency values.
- Text filter is now cleared when the AH window is closed.
- Swapped the positioning of the Buy-It-Now and Auction prices on list items to match the new/selected auction panels.
- New auctions can now be posted for variable time frames ranging from 1 to 5 days. Each additional day increases the deposit by 10% of the base deposit.
- Auction limits have been doubled.
- Non-subscribers have gone from 5 to 10 maximum items.
- Subscribers have gone from 10 to 20 maximum items.
- Currency Picker Dialog:
- Fixed an issue where the picker was not closing when the parent window was closed.
- Now hides the slider if the max value is unbound.
- Now more appropriately positioned when shown.
- Design
- Fixed issue where Ashborne Pauldrons were not dropping
- Consumable crafting recipes requiring Spices have had their required component numbers reduced to 1 and now creates 1 at a time.
- Cost of Spice reduced to compensate for increased amount required per stack of 20 crafted consumables.
- Rotated Event Merchant contents (Marta)
- NPC Ability Tremor no longer references "the earth"
- Grimstone Canyon
- Updated northern Stonecoat camp to better suit solo and small groups of players.
- Added new Bulletin Board Tasks for updated Stonecoat solo camp.
- Restrict nearby camp of mobs from entering Monolith area
- Reduced execution movement reduction for Warlord Hymns and Chants:
- Dread Bellow
- Focusing Battle Chant
- Renewing Resonance
- Rejuvenating Hymn
- Energizing Battle Chant
