Greetings Ascended,

This month we will be giving you an overview of what to expect with Chapter IV, the new systems that will be accompanying it, and the balance pass.

Storm’s Fall
Whilst we want to keep narrative specifics under wraps until you can experience the Chapter for yourselves; here is a tease, a taster, of what is at stake in Chapter IV:

“Rest now, Ascended. You are free.”

The events at Crimson Keep hang over the mind of the Ascended, an endless nightmare from which they felt they’d never wake. A family torn asunder, and a foe unleashed.

Meanwhile, sinister forces conspired to harness the power of Oshara, the ancient dragon matriarch and Voice of Naedre. Though their effort ultimately failed, it did uncover a new target, a new opportunity, sequestered away in the halls of Stormfall Palace.

Now, the city falls under the hungry gaze of a being more powerful, more cunning, and m...

• Fixed a UI issue in the Dark Market's Transmutation Forge whe...

Wolcen patch 1.1.6.0 is now live. This patch brings:

• Controller Support.
  
• A new UI for both controller and keyboard & mouse players.
  
• Quality of Life improvements.
  
• Bug fixes.

[/b]
[/list]



Controller support has arrived. Grab a controller, sit back, and enjoy a whole new way of playing Wolcen: Lords of Mayhem. You can swap between a controller and keyboard & mouse at any time simply by using your desired input method. While both inputs essentially share the same UI, there are a few bespoke elements for each method that will change automatically.

As of now, official Wolcen controller support is limited to Xbox controllers. However, other controllers can potentially be used with Steam’s controller configuration options. In additi... Read more

Grüße Aufgestiegene,

wir möchten Euch ein kurzes Update über den bevorstehenden Controller-Support-Patch geben als auch einen kleinen Bonus über kommende Inhalte verraten. Wir befinden uns in der aller letzten Feinschliff-Phase und werden schon bald in der Lage sein, Euch eine völlig neue Art des Spielens von Wolcen: Lords of Mayhem zur Verfügung stellen. Spielt das Spiel entweder mit einem Controller oder mit Maus und Tastatur und profitiert dabei von der fast vollständig überarbeiteten Benutzeroberfläche und den Verbesserungen der Spielqualität, die wir mit diesem Patch liefern werden.

Neben dem Controller-Support-Team haben auch unsere anderen Teams fleißig an neuen Story-Inhalten für Wolcen gearbeitet, und wir befinden uns gerade mitten in der Produktion eines neuen Kapitels. Wir hoffen, Euch bald Einzelheiten mitteilen zu können, aber im Moment können wir sagen, dass Kapitel 4 speziell auf Wiederspielbarkeit ausgelegt ist und sowohl Spielern,... Read more

Hello Ascended!

It'll be a small update this month as we continue to work on controller support, the UI revamp, and some unannounced projects. However, we do have a few things to cover.

Bugs of Days Gone By
This month we wanted to look back on the progress made by our Quality Assurance team and bug fixers over the months. Since launch, they have squashed over 2300 bugs: both old and new; minor and major; straightforward and multifaceted. Over that time, we have delivered 44 patches, averaging just over 52 fixes per patch.

Balancing
We’re in the initial stages of preparing for a global balancing pass and aim to deliver it as a mid-term goal. At present, a limited selection of builds dominates the endgame, and many skills and combinations tend to fall to the side. ‘Flavoured’ or ‘themed’ builds can quickly become unfeasible at particular difficulty levels, or abilities favoured for their feel or utility may have to be dropped by the player to be com...

• Fixed an issue where item desynchronisation could lead to a “null_umbra_item” dropping.
  
• Fixed an issue where item desynchronisation could lead to the items being invisible or misplaced in the inventory.
  
• Fixed an issue where the internal cooldown of the trade request feature would be 60 seconds instead of 30.
  
• Fixed an issue where the game would stay stuck on "Getting Friendlist" after confirming the "Disconnected from server" notification when losing internet connection.
  
• Fixed an issue where inviting 2 or more players in a group before any player accepts the invite would result in the first player that accepts it not seeing the second one in the lobby.
  
• Fixed an issue where there would be no NavMesh on the bridge in the mission "The Only Lead"...

Hello everyone!

This month we will be covering a selection of topics, including a much-requested gameplay change, some under-the-hood changes that will improve player experience in and out of the game, and another look at the UI changes coming with Controller Support.

Animation Cancelling
That’s right; animation cancelling is coming to Wolcen: Lords of Mayhem! It is still in the testing phase, but we want to give you a quick overview of the changes we are planning to bring about this much-requested feature.

Wolcen’s combat is designed to have a deliberate and measured style and requires the player to consider their situation before using an ability or moving. With patch 1.1.3.0, we changed potions so that they could be consumed at any time, and now with animation cancelling, we are freeing up player agency even more for those who want it whilst still retaining that distinctly Wolcen-esque feel. With animation cancelling, combat will become even more dyn... Read more

• Implemented solutions to drastically reduce the size of every patch/update.

• Fixed several issues that could lead to item desynchronizations.
