| New Stuff: We've got more new quests, we've got faster load times, we've got improved trees, chat window improvements, and the big one is our Event Reward System. New Quests: - The Dark Heart of the Depths is an intriguing quest for levels 25+. It involved making contact with a well known entity that has remained elusive until now. Enjoy all the lore and surprises that await those who venture froth on this journey. - Salvaging the Salvage Operation has choices, so many choices. Another fun branching quest that has multiple outcomes for our avid players. Loading Improvements: Previously, there were some players who experienced rather long loading screen times. I'm happy to report that we tracked down the issue and now loading times for all have been drastically reduced. Trees and more: We've been steadily working on improving our scenes. One of the reasons being that we want to introduce more weather effects, but this takes a lot of time to go through all the assets and prep them for weatherization. One of the first things on the list that has been a thorn in our side as we go through our scenes is tree billboards in the distance. We now have greatly improved their visuals and added a toggle for you to help with adjusting performance for your system. Enjoy the new sights! Chat Window Improvements: We have greatly improved the functionality of our chat windows. You can now drag tabs off a window to create a new window, swap a tab from one window to the other, rearrange tabs within windows, and destroy tabs and windows. We've also added a new message button in chat windows to assist you in getting back to the most recent message if you've scrolled up to inspect an item or read a message you missed. GM Event Reward System: One of the pain points we encountered in running GM Events in the past was how to properly reward all players who participated in the event. Most were happy for the experience itself, but participating in custom GM Events is much more fun if you get unique rewards as well. We have introduced Bloops as an account wide currency that players can obtain by participating in GM run events. These Bloops can be used to buy special items from Marta Merrigold in Newhaven City. Just don't ask her where she gets the stuff... This will likely result in GMs running custom events more frequently. Celebration Event: Don't forget to log in this weekend to participate in these GM Events and get your Bloops. Invite new players to join as they can try Embers Adrift for free and the game is discounted down to $9.99 (tax not included) for the weekend. We are looking forward to seeing you there and introducing you to all the new features and improvements we've made so far this year. The Roadmap is getting quite small as we knock off item after item. Stay tuned to see what comes next! Keep an eye on our socials, discord, and the forums to get the updates about what we have in store for you this weekend. You can find the patch notes HERE. As we iterate from patch to patch, adjusting current content and adding new content, we are asking our community to keep the feedback coming and to please be patient with us as we make adjustments. Thank you all! |
