Travelers, another month has come and gone and it is now time for a look at what’s happening. Let’s dive into our third installment of, Eterra Monthly!

Eyes on Eterra

Travelers, we’ve said it so often it hardly needs repeating, but the feedback we receive is so critical to the decisions we make in the studio. So, please continue to share your thoughts and ideas with us no matter how big or small. An incredibly long list of this feedback is already in the works and being morphed from idea to reality. While the list is far too long to include in this article, we can share a few items on the road to reality.

...

Welcome Travelers to the Eterra Monthly October 2024 Edition!

We’ve got a fully loaded report for you today, so buckle up, and let’s get started.

A New Dawn for the People

The Immortal Emperor’s campaign for power has been halted. As immortal soldiers occupied Eterra, a large resistance was staged to fight back. The battle began on September 19th and raged until October 20th. This resistance has since succeeded against the occupying undead army, and the Immortal Empire was forced to retreat. Resistance leader Yulia had this to say,

“The travelers are a force to be reckoned with and they are here to stay. The Emperor is welcome to press his influence whenever he wishes, but we will always push back!”

Hello Travelers,

We are currently planning some server maintenance taking place 2024-10-09T14:00:00Z . During this time, we will be making a number of backend service changes as part of our ongoing efforts to improve transition times and overall online performance.

We do not anticipate any disruption in game services. However, if at any point you notice a change or disruption in the ability to play, please let us know immediately.

Thank you all, and we will see you in Eterra!

Hello Travelers!

Eterra Monthly will be your one stop post for Recaps and Content of the Month in case you missed anything. This month, we have a large list of new things to see and keep an eye out for. We’re also proud to be re-establishing the Build Spotlight section, as well as the Fanart channel in Discord for your enjoyment! With introductions out of the way, let’s dive in.

Patch 1.1.7 - The Imperial Uprising

September was a big one for Eterra as the Immortal Emperor’s forces multiplied in strength. Travelers from all walks have banded together to repel the undead army, and it’s not too late to join the fight. You can find the original post ...

Bug Fixes

• Reduced frame-lag that would happen when switching stashes via the cycle dropdown. Also reduced frame-lag when adding or interacting with stash tabs or categories.

Hi all,
The team is actively investigating this issue. We will let the community know when something is found as soon as we can offer something of substance. Until then, please use the in-game bug reporting tool so we can better track the issue and it’s potential source.

Hello Travelers,
Earlier this month we released patch 1.1.5. However, a handful of unforeseen issues were discovered and we chose to rollback the game to 1.1.4 again in order to minimize impact on players. Today we will be redeploying patch 1.1.5 with the addition of a few extra changes. Below you will find all of the original patch notes that are still in effect as intended with a designated “What We’ve Added” section for your reading convenience.

Congratulations!

Travelers,

The histories of Eterra have been saved, and we have many of you to thank for it. Your efforts have secured the knowledge of the land for time unknowable; but a devoted few who have proven to be true scholars of the land deserve to be recognized.

Bug Fixes

• Fixed a bug where Circle of Fortune’s rank 10 bonus was not applying to boss uniques from arena, dungeons, Exiled Mages, and the Shade of Orobyss. As a result of this change Exiled Mage unique drops are now randomized per player, rather than being the same for each player.
• In online play, killing a Shade of Orobyss while dead now counts as a successful kill, granting stability and resetting your echo web. You are still able to respawn and collect your loot.
• Fixed an issue causing disconnection when entering towns.

Changes

• Changes made to Sturiax the Burning Sky (Osprix Firemage)
  • Slowed down meteor impact times by 0.3 seconds. (0.9 → 1.2)
  • Phoenix Flamethrower damage ramps up over 1 second instead of starting at full blast.
• Added a new loot filter condition called Factions that will allow you to filter for faction-specific items.
• Increased XP reward for Harbinger and Aberroth quests.

Bug Fixes

• Fixed a bug where projectiles would get destroyed by nemesis spawn locations in offline play.

Interactable Lore points make up the majority of the answers. I admit when I answered in Discord, I misspoke. MOST of the answers will produce a specific dialogue box.

Hello Traveler,

Today is a very special day in Eterra and we invite you to celebrate. The Summer Solstice is upon us and with it, the warmth and light of the summer sun is here to guide us through to the end of the year. On this day we come together to recognize all we have achieved thus far when the celestial light illuminates the world in vibrant detail.

In ancient times, more than 12,000 years ago, people celebrated the turning of the world and the life and death of the seasons. The Summer Solstice was one of the greatest celebrations, marking the day when the sun hung highest in the sky and the day was longest. This tradition has survived the test of time and is still celebrated around the world today. In many cultures, people gather for festivals in reverence of the sun and the bounty it offered.

These celebrations last for three days at minimum, encouraging community and an abundance of food and drink. Bon-fire jumping was, and still is, a popular traditio...
