  • Added Wolfes.
Wolves. :p

  • Added Pet attack command.
Can I also get a tame command so I can use it without a context-dependent use key? :p The context shouldn't have control over my actions, I should.

  • Added volumes that show small hints to help new players out
You should probably call that something else for public communications. Nobody who isn't a UE developer knows what a volume is here.

  • Casting and Releasing magic while in combat now only exits combat but doesn't force re-enter it after cast or Release.
Why does it do that to begin with? I should in in whatever mode I was before doing it.

  • Skill point caps changed from 20k points to 1100 Action skill points and 1100 Profession skill points.
Are those the final numbers now?

  • Last target now stays til either: A: New target or B: Moves too far away from target.
I'm still asking for the old targetting system option so it only brings up my reticule whenever I want and only switches targets when that is actually up, like holding tab. Where is my control?

  • Game build on Steam is now split into multiple pak-files (also known as chunks). This is the last patch where you will need to do an excessively a slow update.
It actually does help with patching already I think.

  • Abandon pet too far from you will now do a "global abandon".
I hope that actually works, always weird when commands that should work no matter what are range bound.

  • Most creatures are now tameable.
So I can get a Risar pet? :p Just kidding, they are too stupid.

  • Resting now shows on the timer how long it takes for you to be healthy but you do not auto-exit sitting.

So it can now act as a sit command?

  • All spell icons are updated.
Are they less monotone now? Let's find out.

  • Renamed Size to Height in character creation.
  • Paperdoll now displays the correct Size value.
Is it Size or Height now? Make up your minds. :p

  • AI should now more smoothly follow you when tamed.
Is that a pathing improvement or just for directly after they are tamed?

1100 primary for both action / combat and profession skills sounds like a very nice balance - it basically fits 2 complete MO1 characters (one combat and one non-combat) into one.

"Grip slot in weapon crafting now only accepts Leathers and Textiles"
Now you will need animal materials lore to make simple sword:(making grip using petrology materials should be also allowed.
No more wooden training weapons.

Just before server reboot I have seen 1200 primary points in professions!

Not really, considering you needed some from both types before for some setups and not for others. So you can't even really compare it that way.
And considering we went down from 3-4 characters to 1 and we can't have multiple clade setups etc. it seems a little small to make up for that.

And as Xunila said, it's actually 1200 profession skill points.


The helper texts should really reflect your keybindings. For example it shouldn't tell me Z does mouse mode when I currently don't have it bound to Z.

The new Ecumenical icons:

It's small to make up for the entire 4-character account setup, but hopefully this will limit the one-man-show self-sufficiency fanatics. I would much rather like to see people becoming specialized in their craft, having to trade other people in order to obtain the best combination of armor and weapons, than relying on their own characters all the time. Small guilds would still be completely viable, by mixing and matching their professions in order to reach a good grade of self-sufficiency in their gear production.

I'm all for the whole economy aspect. Complete self-sufficiency is a stupid idea in an MMO.
But this is all a problem due to the whole split pools.
You are restricted in having multiple combat or multiple profession paths on one character and you're basically stuck with one combat path and one crafting path.
Also add to that there there will just be people with multiple accounts anyway so it will only have a small impact on those.

One character with split pools and all the restrictions we have only really makes sense when you also enforce a one account per user policy.

One thing I found quite annoying: leaving haven puts you in a random town. considering how bug the world is, I would rather have the option to choose the town you want to be in.

a new player with no knowledge of the map will be stuck in a random town (like Toxai) and not knowing where to go. few lucky ones will get tindrem, but the rest who knows. imagine a new player dropped in GK, with no idea on how to even get food there.

there should be a clear choice menu, as well as short explanation of each town (particularly tindrem, so newbies know is safer there maybe)


One thing with NPC vendors that is still very unintuitive:
You right click what you want to sell and pay but you left click what you want to buy. Also you can't click the icon.

this! I still get confused after 100+ hours

also,

- Haven needs some easier way to make money. even old tindrem training area had lisimachia, which would make few starting gold. right now is quite frustrating, even for vets. imagine new players trying to buy a weapon (making it is bit outside their possibilities).


- haven inventories (and possibly skills) need to be wiped after leaving, so that even if a player can easily accumulate 10ths of gold to try out things, in the "real" world they have to start again.

They already wrote about this in Discord after the patch: There will be an options menu like in the former character creation dialog. And there could be, I got this from third party, a restriction of the city to the chosen clade, e.g. Alvarain would go to Morin Khur or Toxai only.
