May TODO List (THE FOLLOWING POINTS ARE NOT YET IN THE GAME)
(THE FOLLOWING POINTS ARE IN QA)
May 3rd:

May 4th:
May 17th:
Weapons have a Primary and Secondary flanking position, typically denoted by a reduced base flanking value in that position. For example Maul's have +5DMG from rear (Primary) and +3DMG from the front (Secondary). This was meant to offer a less optimal but still useful way of using weapons with flanking. We have changed this system so the Primary Flanking direction will now get a bonus to the flanking stat, but the Secondary will only receive the base value of the flanking stat.
For example: a Crossbow has +5DMG Side Flank (Primary) and +15 Hit Rear Flank (Secondary). An example of how the math plays out for a player with +25 flanking is as follows:
The primary Flanking position from the side will have Base+125% Flanking to DMG, or 5 + 25*1.25 = +36.25 DMG
Whereas the secondary flanking position from the rear will have Base+100% Flanking to HIT or 15 + 25 * 1 = +40 HIT
Please note: Some weapons do not follow traditional conventions of flanking and have higher base values. These weapons have kept their higher base flanking bonuses, but have reduced contributions from +Flanking that go below 100%
- New Ember Veins
- Weapon Flanking Revamp
- Stat caps
- New hats
- Tooltip improvements.
- New Quests
- Tree billboard improvements.
(THE FOLLOWING POINTS ARE IN QA)
May 3rd:
- Live characters copied to QA as of May 3rd 2023.
- Tutorial Log:
- The quest log has been extended to include tutorial information. Tabs have been added to the top of the window to allow you to switch between "Quests" and "Tutorial", and the window will soon be renamed to "Log". The new tutorial section serves as a place to revisit previously viewed tutorial tooltips. We hope this new resource will help new players more easily navigate the early game. (see screenshot below)
- Hunting Log: we have added tech which allows the game to track how many of each type of creature you have slain.
- This information is currently only visible via the "/huntinglog" chat command, but as you can imagine a new tab will soon be added to the log window (described above) to display this information.
- You will be awarded a new title once you reach the thresholds of 5/10/15/20 for each creature type. These titles and thresholds are placeholders to test functionality and will change before it goes live. You can expect the thresholds to be much higher. We would love to hear your thoughts on what those thresholds and titles should be though!
- This system will likely be extended in the future by tying into the faction system and possibly offering creature-specific "perks" at certain milestones.
- Note that humanoids are NOT currently tallied in the hunting log.
- Group Window:
- When a group member is in a different zone or out of range their role, level, and group leader icon will continue to show in the group window
- Simplified the method in which we update members within the group window. Hopefully this will fix the issue of keyboard shortcut labels being out of order.
- Known issues: the status of an out of range/diff zone group member does not always update correctly. Currently investigating potential fixes.
- Monoliths
- Can now only be used out of combat.
- Added a confirmation dialog on usage.
- Dual Wield: increased ability off-hand weapon contribution for different weapon types (10% is the current live value for all weapons)
- Hatchet --> 20%
- Dagger --> 25%
- Sword --> 30%
- Knuckles --> 35%
- Brigand:
- Overpower, Hidden Strike and Mark have had their damage values increased.
- Warden:
- Venom Strike and Acid Strike have had their damage values increased.
- Eagle Eye increased +HIT amount
- Berserker:
- Fury and Assault no longer reduce in stamina cost as part of their progression
- Wind Up and Fury no longer stack
- Fury has had its execution time reduced from 2s to 1s
- Increased global interaction distance from 3m to 4m. The interaction distance on ember drift exits was a bit too restrictive, along with some other perception issues in first person mode we have globally increased the interaction distance. I can already tell you however, that this will be dialed back and I will more selectively increase interaction distance for items as needed. (did some more testing and the EV exit issue is something else I'm looking into - expect this change to be fully reverted)
- Increased damage of mobs lvl 25+ by 5-10%
- Feared mobs now have a chance to call for help when fear expires or is broken.
- Carrion Ravens, Redmane Prowlers, and Redmane Lurkers can no longer go Ashen.
- Reduced spawn rate of Shrieks in Grimstone Canyon
- Confirmation dialogs for Monoliths & Egress points (inside of dungeons) will now auto-cancel if you get too far away from the object you are interacting with.
- Added icon tinting for refined logs
- Added a different icon for higher level dopants
- Fixed skinning and resource level on Stark the bear.
- Fixed armor weight on Scale Mesh Mask to zero.
- Fixed a bug where NPC dots from the same name NPC could not stack. This could make Spiders a bit more dangerous...
- Fixed Ash consumable sharing a cooldown with potions
- Fixed issues with AoE line of sight checks (impacts which targets are selected in an AoE). This should make abilities like Intimidate easier to use.
- Fixed missing icon on CR1 hulking spider
- Fixed incorrect exp modifier on Great Axe recipes, they should now grant full experience.

- Fixed Insulated Trousers to provide Chemical Damage Resist instead of Chemical Damage.
- Fixed level on Dyed Jack Trousers
- Fixed some environmental bugs in Meadowlands, Northreach, and Dryfoot
- Fixed augments displaying information twice on tooltips

- Started the process of cleaning up tooltips. This will likely take several iterations as there is a lot of data and different situations to work through. This cleanup includes general formatting improvements, spacing improvements, improved durability display, improved weapon dice display, and improved stat displays.
May 17th:
- Tooltip renovation in progress! Armor, Weapons, Consumables, Reagents, Abilities have all undergone some updates. Work here is still ongoing but please let me know specific items or abilities that are wacky and need some special attention.

- Aura volume slider removed as it served no purpose.
- Added notification added to chat when a group member gets knocked unconscious
- Adjusted LODs on some props.
- Ant hills and Rats nests will now properly call for help when players attack at range.
- Reduced the amount of durability lost when hit by 10%
- Addressed differences between the Primary and Secondary flanking direction not having enough impact (see below)
Weapons have a Primary and Secondary flanking position, typically denoted by a reduced base flanking value in that position. For example Maul's have +5DMG from rear (Primary) and +3DMG from the front (Secondary). This was meant to offer a less optimal but still useful way of using weapons with flanking. We have changed this system so the Primary Flanking direction will now get a bonus to the flanking stat, but the Secondary will only receive the base value of the flanking stat.
For example: a Crossbow has +5DMG Side Flank (Primary) and +15 Hit Rear Flank (Secondary). An example of how the math plays out for a player with +25 flanking is as follows:
The primary Flanking position from the side will have Base+125% Flanking to DMG, or 5 + 25*1.25 = +36.25 DMG
Whereas the secondary flanking position from the rear will have Base+100% Flanking to HIT or 15 + 25 * 1 = +40 HIT
Please note: Some weapons do not follow traditional conventions of flanking and have higher base values. These weapons have kept their higher base flanking bonuses, but have reduced contributions from +Flanking that go below 100%
- Hobfly Great Axe
- Galeeq's Fang
- Dread Maul
- Prospector's Pick
- "Fishing" Pole
- Encased Tendril
- More tooltip cleanup (reagents, triggers, more more more)
- Rebaked Meadowlands' nav to account for tree size changes.
- Fixed stuck spot in Redshore.
- Fixed more typos in npc calls for help and ability emotes.
- Basilisk Tail Whip is now a conal attack.
- Knuckles and Claws are now referred to as 1H Fist types.
- Fixed level requirement for harvesting named Stonecoats.
- Group nameplate UI color will now change depending on the health state of the player. Cyan = default, Blue = selected, Red = unconscious, Purple = selected & unconscious, Black = "dead".
- Adjusting Hunting log thresholds to more appropriate values (more info to come later).
- Lighting fixes in some dungeon rooms.
- Resilience Update! Resilience currently serves as a "saving throw" when your health drops to zero. We have expanded the functionality of Resilience to now also reduce the damage bonus of incoming heavy and critical hits. Reminder that resilience only works in combat stance!
- Eagle Eye ability now has audio on execute.
- Environmental spider webs are now even STICKIER! In addition to reducing movement speed they also "grant" negative haste.
- Added some props in Forgotten Depths.
- More tooltip cleanup (targeting, requirements, auto attack)
- Renamed stat "Flanking" to "Positional"
- Positional arrows on weapon tooltips are colored blue/yellow/red to match the arrow indicators on nameplates.
- When using a repair kit with a stack count greater than 1 it will remain in "repair mode" until that stack is exhausted or you cancel the repair mode.
- Crafting UI should now remember where it was between sessions.
- Burn effect from Ember Rings now do a fixed percentage damage per tick so that it is equally dangerous to all levels!
- Stats enhanced by Armor/Clothing augments are now colored green in the stat window to indicate that an augment is applied to that stat.
- Weapon augments on both main and off hand weapons are now both properly consumed when using abilities while dual wielding.
- Fixed stuck spot in Forgotten Depths
- Fixed bug with positional display on weapons and cleaned it up
- Fixed some minor rendering bugs with targeting reticles.
- Scurry Boots now provide Ember Dmg Resists rather than Ember Dmg
- Selected Stat tab (Stats/Combat/Resists) is now saved on a per-character basis between sessions.
- Adjusted positional bonus colors.
- Damage types are now shown as a tooltip on some damage numbers in the combat log (hover mouse over the value to see the damage type if present)
- Disabling Hunting Log. My initial plan was to swing back around to the hunting log once the tooltip revamp was finishing up but it took a bit longer than we originally anticipated. Without the proper UI and other incentives (to be detailed later) we feel the hunting log is wholly incomplete and deserves a bit more attention before taking it live.
