Servers will be going down at 9AM EST today, the 27th of February to apply the 15.1.1 patch. Expected downtime is 4-8 hours. This is our second patch of February, and features massive changes to the combat system.The biggest changes this month center around the combat and skills systems. We went through every skill in the game doing a series of balance work and improvements. Melee received the largest amount of upgrades, with most melee special abilities being moved to a cone of attack system. The chance of buffs and debuffs to take effect were increased across the board to make them more reliable and reduce the amount of chance in an encounter. We also introduced five new stats, tweaked numerous opening types. The end result is that combat feels much better overall.Another big change to the combat system was reworking how the Penetration and Resistance systems interact. These values have a larger effect in some cases than was previously the case. This is particularly the case when it comes to higher difficulty mobs, especially bosses and above. The result is that group encounters should be much more challenging than was previously the case. Meanwhile average and lower level mobs have had their difficulty levels slightly decreased.The combat changes also included a number of visual improvements, most notably in the ranged weapon animations. Melee animations will be receiving a similar upgrade in the future. Many abilities also saw improvements to their FX. There were visual improvements to many other areas, as well. This includes more work on Plymouth City's textures, improved terrain textures, a new alternate head model for female models, many new props, and some NPC animation work. Cosmetic Stylists will also enjoy new Body Morphing Kits which can be applied to characters to change their body type.We've also continued to refine our auction and work order systems. This includes things like the ability to search your bags for items which match active work orders, automated grade stacking, and improved searching and filtering options. There were also a number of email related improvements centering on the trading system, including the ability to select multiple emails at once, and to empty mails of items, as well as the ability to differentiate between Auction and Work Order emails.The resource system received a massive overhaul in this patch. Manual (whack-a-node) harvesting and corpse extractions received a massive overhaul which provides a variable resource count based on the difficulty of the area you are in or the mob you are extracting. Triple hitter nodes are now a single hit but result in multiple results per hit. Harvesting tools will also be automatically switched without needing to manually equip them. Harvesters received similar improvements with several new types of harvesters being added into the game, and the output from harvested nodes being increased. There are also now static harvesting locations which will always be available, primarily for water.Audio work continued with the improvement of weather and environmental based sounds. The variable footstep system has been improved, and a number of annoying audio bugs which were causing tracks to cut off abruptly or not blend properly have been repaired. New types of interface sounds have also been added for things like tells and purchasing items.Other changes include improved mission marker support, NPC immunity timers, new boss abilities, batched crafting improvements, many tweaks to the User Interface, numerous pet improvements and new tamed pet types. You can read the full list of changes from the massive set of notes below. Before we get to them though let's take a look ahead to the 15.2.1 build, which focuses on getting rare recipes, and improved loot into the game, as well as a good number of housing and nation improvements. You can read a preview of the upcoming 15.2.1 changes (WIP) in this thread: https://therepopulation.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=28&t=9002 Due to the sheer size of the updates here they are being categorized by type. Thanks to Epitaph for sorting these.(NPC perks from Kickstarter)
