Patchnotes
02.12.2016
General
- Every Archetype now starts with no weapons and has a basic unarmed combat combo set. (We found that players just weren’t making acquiring a weapon a priority because it looked like they had a weapon equipped since the default weapon is built into the model.)
- Players must have correct weapons equipped to use certain tray powers. Some tray powers may require different items equipped where it make sense. (If the equip requirements are not met, the power is greyed out)
- Players now sit while waiting for a safe logout. (As long as you are out of combat mode)
- Physics should no longer send messages to the connection server addressed to players physics doesn't even think are online.
- Only allowing force exiting combat if you're in the combat state (no need to force exit if you're not in combat)
- A hand full of physics server optimizations. (they are very confusing to read, but make things waaay better on the server)
- Tweaked GroundedCheck on server and client with an additional test to handle the special case of narrow ravines.
- Added a new feature to the character avatar import tool : Automated texture atlasing.
- Player death should now clear the crafting inventory before creating the corpse.
- Added some Random chests in the world allow for transfer of items between players. (this should help for now)
Chat:
- When removing an object from the world, should remove them from the group.
- Should no longer be able to send out more group invites than you have available slots in your group.
- Changes to notify chat server of campaign state changes.
Harvesting:
- More feedback added to reticle so you know what the name of the current harvesting target is, if it is considered a single player or group node, and what level of plentiful harvest you have relative to that node. (still more feedback is coming to make the experience more intuitive)
- Harvesting hit fx lightened chunks.
- Survivalist Campfires should no longer provide sta regen to characters actively harvesting.
- Altered Harvest Animal cooldown to start On Execute so that it's consistent with the other harvesting types.
- Added new Harvesting stats for Mother Lode nodes of Ore/Stone.
- Mother Lode nods now can produce 2x the resources of single player nodes.
- Added new resource types minerals/gems to Mother Lode nodes of Ore/Stone. (Harvesting skill trees now have skills in them “Exceptional Ore/Stone harvesting” to allow these to be harvested, also there is a new testing potion)
- Beneficial harvest should now function for all harvesting node types and not just ore.
Crafting:
- Many new crafting icons created.

- Plank - Using Knotwood now produces a Knotwood plank. (Knotwood planks have no stats, they however meet Plank recipe requirements if you absolutely have to build something with a plank right now.)
- Potential fix for crafting take bug. (still trying to track this one down)
- Replacing items in crafting inventory should return the correct item count to your inventory now.

- Tooltips - Added serial number info to tooltips. (So you know why 2 metal bars of the same type won’t stack)
- Tooltips - Adding base item template info to tooltips. (So someone can’t rename an item and fool you on a trade)
- Tooltips - Now displays durability value.
- Tooltips - Different types of items can now have different base field types. (huzzah! Everything no longer has mitigation and stats values)
