Building and placeable fixes

- It’s now possible to place walls next to ramps and roofs without having to tear them down first

- Stair corners can now be attached to foundation corners properly

- The Ymir altar should no longer shift its positioning when upgraded to its final tier

- Wedges can now be properly placed on top of the Aquilonian Gate Frame

- Snapping ceilings to ramps now works more consistently

- It’s now possible to build on top of the Right-sloping Inverted Walls

- Hatch frames will now display a destructible mesh when destroyed

- Fixed an issue where some gate-frames were not possible to replace with other gate-frames

- Fixed an issue where upgrading the Set Altar to Tier 3 would shift it forwards.

- Yamatai fences now prevents climbing, as intended

- All placeables now have a minimum building score of 1 instead of 0 - this change will increase the decay-timer for smaller bases and thus the time it takes for them to decay. A consequence of this is that having a large amount of placeables might make you eligible to be attacked by a Purge at a faster rate.

- Almost all placeables can now be tilted/rotated to fit the landscape for easy placement

- Fixed an issue where certain Fence Foundations would clip through Yamatai Wedge Foundation

- Building and item information is now displayed underwater when pointed at with Repair Hammer

Crafting fixes

- Crafting Silk and Stretching Hide (Thick Hide to Hide) crafting time has been reduced to 1 second per craft.

- Khitan Javelins and Khitan Throwing Axes are no longer present in Blacksmith benches for T3/T4 thralls. These were never intended to be released, as they are not functional

- Crafting religious armors should now produce the same amount of religious tokens. One full armor-set (regardless of amount of pieces) will yield a total of 5 zeals

- Crafting speed bonus progression for thralls has been adjusted. Firstly, Alchemists now progress correctly in crafting bonuses. Also, all purge thralls now craft items much faster than before. The high-end bonus time multiplier is 4x crafting speed

- Alchemists now have a “Fill flask” recipe available to them when placed in the Firebowl Cauldron. This is a quick 1 second recipe that allows quick filling of crafted waterflasks to help with the crafting of items that require such filled waterflasks (Dyes, etc)

- Fixed an issue where certain recipes were missing for Werk of the Lost Tribe and Njoror Battleborn armorers

- Fixed an issue where XP would not be granted when crafting items from the radial menu

- Thralls should now be able to use throwing axes correctly

- Fixed an issue in the spawn table (Shout-outs to Alex02 on the forums) where Rokur and Marn had incorrectly been set up and would not spawn as intended.

- Fixed an issue where archers did not exit combat properly and their AI got stuck

- Taskmasters are now more instantly recognizable from the equipment they wear (Hyperborean slaver outfit pieces). Dancers are also now generally wearing either the Stygian or Zamorian dancer outfits

- Combo rule sets have now been set up for NPCs. Tier 1-2 (and Bearers) are considered novices and do not use optimal combos, while Tier 3-4 NPCs will be more efficient at using attack-combinations, including offhand attacks. What this effectively means is that human melee-oriented NPCs should now attempt to use real combos instead of randomizing their attacks.

- Removed the threaten animation from Grey Apes, as it would cause them to get stuck

- Fixed an issue where certain pet rhinos could not attack

- Pets and thralls should now smoothly follow the player as opposed to “run-stop-run”

- Rhino pets should no longer be lured by the Rhino lure

- Fixed an issue where NPCs would stop using combos or use incomplete combos

Purge Fixes

- A number of additional purges have been added in order to increase the variety of them - amongst others Vanir Hunters, Bandits, Jhebbal Sag Disciples, Snakes, Yetis, Alchemists, Crocodiles and Rocknoses

- Fixed an issue with the Votaries of Skelos, Lost Tribe, Lemurian, Black Hand Pirates and the Heirs of the North purge data, which would cause a number of the bosses/artisans part of those purges not to spawn

- Fixed an issue where the Sixth wave of Frost Giant purges referenced itself as the next wave to start

- Knocking out an NPC from a purge will no longer halt the purge - instead, it is treated as if the NPC had been killed.

- Human NPCs spawned through the purge system no longer spawn naked

- Fixed an issue with the purge that would prevent it from spawning for certain building configurations. The purge should now happen more reliably.

- Fixes issue where slider for purge score required for purge had an unreasonable scale

- The Purge server setting for “How many times per day” has been replaced with a server setting for delay between Purges

- After the purge preparation warning has been shown there should now be a UI element counting down on the main screen UI so people that log in don’t miss the warning, and also as a reminder

- The Mounds of the Dead NPCs now drop better loot, with a small chance of high-level ingredients such as Hardened Steel Bars, Layered Silk, etc.

- The Relic Hunter city of Sepermeru have been in training recently and are now significantly harder, on par with level 60 NPCs. They are still neutral and will not attack, but now, when attacked, they are much tougher

- Some of the Darfari tribesmen have learned how to use shields, and in general, they dress up more in armor

- The Nordheimers of New Asagarth have received a strict training regiment of 100 sit-ups, 100 squats and 100 push-ups and as a result now provide more of a challenge

- Obsidian drops have been removed from New Asagarth NPCs

- New Asagarth have increased their defenses slightly and have additional guards outside New Asagarth. They have also learned how to tame wolves, and have sent out a few scouting parties to other parts of the map.

- The Skeletons in the Dregs dungeon are now much harder to defeat

- The Locust-queen placed in The Passage has had her hitpoints reduced

- Xalthar’s Refuge now houses more crocodiles

- Black Ice weapons now cause a debuff on the target that lowers their temperature for a time

- Undead enemies are now immune to bleeds and poison

- Exploding Imps now have an additional 50% chance of dropping Volatile glands for each hack on the corpse. In addition, the drop rate for Volatile glands for Salamanders have been increased from 5% to 10% and mature dragons (Green, White, Red) can now drop Volatile glands as well

- Removed the bark by-product from making planks from the Carpenters bench and moved it into the new Improved Carpenter’s bench as a specific recipe instead

- Hitpoints for all doors and hatches have been halved

- It now takes 30 minutes to summon a protective shield from an altar and an hour to craft an avatar token

- Offline hunger and drink modifier is now 0. No more starving or dying of thirst while offline. However, Heatstroke and Frostbite now increase thirst/hunger rate at a higher rate.

- Increased the hitpoints for the Rocknose King boss

- Adjusted hitpoints of Tier 3 and Tier 4 thralls to match the rebalance of NPC damage output and hitpoints

- NPC Bearers are now more capable of defending themselves (not as well as fighters though) as their stats have been slightly adjusted. They have slightly more hitpoints and do slightly more damage when attacking

- Obsidian Skinning Knife now harvests more skins (it erroneously had the same harvest-rate as steel skinning knives)

- Named NPCs now do increased damage, have more hitpoints and yield more XP when killed (balancing change)

- Yog Cleaver, Mitraen Ankh and Setite Ritual Knife have had their damage and armor pen lowered to reflect other religious tooks of the same rank

- Epic bows now offer a slight increase in damage as their quality is raised from normal to exceptional to flawless

- The steelfire cost of Dragonpowder has been halved

- XP curve for crafting has been adjusted and crafting now yields XP properly

- Lemurian and Reptilian armor now grants a total bonus of +9 between the dual stats of the armors as intended (it gave out too much earlier)

- Reduced armor for medium armor by about 6% as it was too close to Heavy armor in performance

- Significantly increased XP from killing monsters and animals

- Slightly increased bow damage across the board

- Reduced damage for the 2h Spears’ first two heavy attacks, and increased damage for the two last attacks. This was done to increase reward for committing to full combos using the right-hand attack while still retaining the utility of the spears long range poke-ability. We want to make the spear useful and not nerf it completely #babysteps

- Reduced the weight of heavy armors by 10%

- Human NPC-progression across the factions has been increased in difficulty-range. The hitpoints, armor and damage output of the NPCs have been adjusted for this. Very small adjustments have been made to the Exiles factions, but Darfari factions and upwards have been scaled up to match the challenge levels intended for them (20, 30, 40, 50, 60+). These changes also affect the base stats of thralls from the factions being captured, giving players an incentive for getting the best fighters/archers/etc.

- Human T4 Loot-pools have been adjusted to provide better loot-rewards - in particular for higher-level enemies in the Highlands.

- Monsters/Animal difficulty curve has been adjusted to better conform with the intended difficulty-bands. In general this has made certain monsters much more interesting and challenging to fight. Most monsters have gotten increased damage, hitpoints and/or special features to their attacks. Some of them are also now immune to knockback since it trivialized combat with them (Ostrich, Were-hyena, Bear, Imp King, Witch Queen, every Undead creature).

- Many (but not all) Animals and monsters may now spawn as “Elite” versions of themselves. There is a 2% chance that this happens for every spawn point these monsters have. These elite monsters and animals are bigger, tougher, looks different and drops additional loot - with a guaranteed drop rate of Demon-blood, a key ingredient for high-end crafting.

- Equipment for NPCs have been adjusted, most notably for crafter-NPCs that were previously using very low-level default weapons, such as the Iron Dagger or Iron Mace. Now they’re using more level appropriate weaponry. In addition, crafters and taskmasters are now using specific armor-setups (aprons and worker gloves) to make them easier to distinguish in camps.

- Various issues with certain (Rare) thralls not spawning has been addressed

- XP from monsters have been increased significantly, since they are now harder to defeat. XP from killing T4 humans is also greatly increased.

- Added 15% armor penetration to the Reaver’s Axe, to match it’s actual description

- Lowered the damage by the Jedias Greatsaber by 3 points

- 1H Mace: The mace weapon animation set have had their hitboxes extended slightly, and the third attack will now make two hits during the spin instead of just one. The Armor Penetration stat for maces have been increased from 20% to 25% and the hyperarmor window for the final attack has been extended slightly. In addition - the third and fourth light combo attacks now have ShieldSmash.

- Daggers: Daggers now have 20% armor penetration instead of 15%. In addition - the hitboxes for all the dagger attacks have been extended slightly.

- The damage, armor penetration and stamina costs for Javelins have all been increased slightly. Javelins now also stack to 10.

- Two-Handed Hammers now have hyper-armor on selected parts of the animation of the light-attack combos. These hyper-armor windows cover only the attack part of the animation, which more reliably allows attacks to go through uninterrupted. In addition, the first light attack will now penetrate shields (but does not cause Shieldsmash)
