DELORIA ONLINE 5.0 PATCH NOTES



WHAT'S NEW 5.0

Newest Additions At Top

Last Updated: Nov 14, 2018

#######################



NEW GUILD BANNERS/UPDATED VIEW CHARACTER PROFILE

The guild code has been completed and Guild Banners introduced. After your guild reaches Rank 5, the Guild Master will be able to purchase a Guild Banner to boost. These banners will show when someone views your character profile, as well as be displayed in and out of any guild post/tower owned by a guild.



Guild banners consist of two colors and 1 style (at the moment) with 20 in total at the moment. A guild banner style can only be owned by 1 guild at a time, so when one gets used it will no longer be sold by the guild vendor.

UPDATED BEAUTY BOUTIQUE

With the addition of paperdoll head appearances, the Beauty Boutique was in need of an upgrade. You can now select from 3 provided services; Hairstyle change, apply a permanent outfit and apply a permanent head appearance. You will only be charged a small fee for the services you select. You no longer require a boutique voucher either, just delets.



You will only be able to select from the appearances you have unlocked. You can learn appearances from equipping armors, as well as appearance patterns acquired from vendors, quests and even events.

NEW GUILD POSTS/TOWERS

Guild Posts and Towers have been added. Guilds can purchase a Guild Post or Guild Tower after defeating a boss inside and paying the weekly rental fee. Guilds can defeat a boss inside a Post/Tower to receive a buff for 5 minutes which allows the purchase of that Post/Tower for 7 days. The Guild Leader is the only one eligible to receive the buff, so they must be in the party that defeats the boss. Once a Guild Post/Tower is purchased, only that guild will be able to enter it until the lease is up. When the lease expires (7 days), the Guild Post/Tower will be able to be entered by anyone again. After a significant duration, the boss inside will respawn again, and the cycle repeats.



If you guild owns a Guild Banner at the time, your banner will display proudly outside your Guild Post/Guild Tower as well as throughout the inside.



Guild Posts are 1 floor and contain 5 storage tiles, and Guild Towers are 3 floors and contain 15 storage tiles. Storage Tiles allows guild members to drop items and equipment on savable tiles. These items will remain safe on these tiles until a Guild Leader or Guild Officer pick them up, even if the server goes down. This is a helpful way to store extra equipment, meals, battle items for new and existing guild members. Any items left when the lease expires (7 days) are deleted.

NEW CLASS HALLS

New Class Halls have been added. After your initial Mage and Warrior quest lines are complete (Chapter 1 and 2) players will be able to choose a sub-class. Depending on the sub-class chosen, you will now have access to your Class Hall that only others of your class share.

Elementalist Class Hall (Mage Tower Apex)



NEW PLAYER GARDENS

Players unlock the gardening quest line at level 10. During this quest line you will unlock more garden pots for gardening use. Players can plant a variety of crops, and use different items on their crops to shorten grow time. Players can also acquire a golden shovel to increase their crop yields! Player Gardens are a great way to grow healing items.



Example of Player Gardens (Growing Bloom Bloom to harvest Bloom Berries)



NEW PVP GUILD HOUSE

The PvP Guild House will host a few NPC. You can talk to Scarlet the Bounty Hunter to toggle your world PvP on and off. This will allow players to PvP on all maps to others with this feature enabled. If your PvP is off, you can only attack/be attack other players on PvP specific maps.



You will also find the Guild Master here. You can talk to him to start a guild and choose a guild banner. You will also find the PvP vendor here. You can only buy items from him with PvP Tokens, a new currency earned from PvP.

NEW GRAND ARENA

I have added the new Grand Arena in Collingwood. This will help test PvP and abilities much faster, as well as some Party vs Party PvP action.

ALL NEW ABILITIES AND ABILITY TREES

I have greatly expanded the ability trees for all classes, adding more abilities and selection. Players will be able to customize their builds more and allow them to choose 20 abilities now (up from 15).



Expanded Ability Tree



ON-SCREEN DEBUFFS

On-top of debuffs showing at the top left of the game screen, debuffs will now also appear above your character so surrounding players can see any negative status affects you are inflicted with.



Example of character being disarmed!

NEW LOGOUT PROCESS

Characters will now have a 9 second logout process when quitting the game. You can force quit right away, but your character will remain on the server for the 9 second duration. This will prevent players from disconnecting to save lives from stuns and other debuffs. Logging out in a town bypasses this countdown.



New character logout

NEW SHOPS/VENDORS

Some new shops and vendors have opened up in Collingwood. Josie now sells jewelry, accessories and capes, while Scarlet in the Magic Shop now sells a variety of enchants. The Collingwood Dock is now open as well, selling boarding passes to Merchant Cove on Killik Island. Some of the existing vendors in town had some of their prices changed (ie: potions and elixirs are cheaper now).



NEW RENDERING

I have updated the rendering code to process faster in some areas, as well as make the rendering more compatible for crossover software from other OS.



NEW COLLISION DETECTION

I have a new unit detection code that will prevent from your character from moving onto the same tile as an NPC. This was a client-side rendering issue which should be resolved now. I have removed the auto-refresh that I put in as a temporary work-around for this bug.



NEW CHARACTER PROFILE

I have completely redid the View Character screen as the new Character Profile screen. It is used to for both yourself and other players in-game. The new Character Profile screen shows a lot more information for players, including; character stats and attributes, bonus stats and enchants, character achievements and player statistics.



NEW CHARACTER STAT BONUSES

Included on the new Character Profile screen you will see new stat bonuses and enchants listed. This will give you more detail on new stats bonuses and enchants you can now get from in-game equipment and items. Some bonuses have multiple levels, while some are more an on/off. For example; Autoloot is an on/off bonus. Once you have this bonus stat once, it will not increase further. Other bonuses may have caps or limits, for example; Increased Regeneration and Resource Regeneration have caps. Once you reach these caps, they will not increase any further. Bonuses that are at max will show in yellow, while non-max will show in white. If you do not have this bonus at all it will show in dark grey.



NEW PLAYER ACHIEVEMENTS

I have added the new achievement ...
