Greetings Adventurers,
With this PTR release, we’ve introduced a new, highly requested feature: inventory inspection while moving! In addition, in order to accommodate the complex logic of what should or shouldn’t be locked out of combat, we’ve build a secondary system to take-over and manage the out-of-combat/in-combat player states.
Combat
Inventory While Moving
You can now move while using your inventory! Whether you’re using directional inputs or auto-run, opening your inventory will no longer stop you in your tracks. Feel free to examine your loot or swap your gear while running to your next point of interest!
However, be careful while you’re on the move because you won’t be allowed to change equipment once you are in combat. Which brings us to the next new feature…
In-Combat System
The new In-Combat System tracks when the player is actively engaged in any type of combat and changes or restricts certain actions accordingly. Such as, when a player enters combat, their health, mana, and stamina bars will become visible and a crossed swords icon will appear to the right of their health bar. While in this state, the player will not be able to change abilities or equipment. This replaces the previous functionality that prevented abilities and equipment from being changed while abilities were on cooldown.
Please let us know how you enjoyed this piece of content on the PTR! In particular, due to the complex nature of these core behavioral changes, we’re especially keen on feedback relating to combat state clarity, mode presentation, mode switching while under varying conditions (having certain UI windows open, trying to perform certain expected game actions, etc.), and any technical issues such as gameplay bugs and client stability or performance problems.
Thank you and have fun!
