Ship cannons

General Fixes

Potential fix for map fog of war not working properly (black map bug). We believe this fix will take care of this issue, we need your feedback as this is difficult for us to test.

Fixed a bug where 'boss' mobs would not respawn if player despawned them by moving far away from the spawnpoint

Reduced the chance spirit bond will “break” due to line of sight.

Fixed a bug where a player would appear "falling" if he died while in the air

Fixed a bug where party modifiers would become inconsistent after toggling and inviting new members

Fixed a bug where a party member could get stuck in a party when the leader got disconnected and unable to join another party or invite other people in his own party

Fixed a bug where placing a used crafted weapon in your house safe would restore its durability and removing the crafter's name after server restart

Fixed so that if “points of interest” map markers were turned on, in-game FPS would drop considerably.

Fix for a special effect leak that would eventually lead to a crash on some occasions

Fixed a bug where when a character that was on someones friend list got deleted it would add a new random character in his place

Fixed a bug where Vulnerable Villages where being reset on Server Restart

Fixed a bug that didn’t clear combo points when using a mount’s alternative attacks.

Fixed a bug where when splitting a stack pressing backspace or delete was not fully clearing the input box

Added sound to the House Recall action

Player Housing Changes

From now whenever a player wants to transfer his/her house to another player the process goes through the trade system.

The target player has to accept the trade request and place all the items which he/she wants to exchange for the specific house.

The trade stops automatically if the player loses ownership of the house.

You can not trade a house while you are owe taxes on it.

On mouseover, on the house deed in the trading window, you can see the location of the house and the upgrades installed.

You can also see the location of your house on the map from now on by activating the personal markers.

General Changes

Captured village income messages no longer appear on screen

Danger zone map display can be toggled from the “Danger Regions” filter on the map

Tweaks on rare material/treasure map drop rates according to area’s danger level:

Essences and Maps now follow these multipliers on their probabilities

Protected - Mult 0.0

Danger Area: I - Mult 0.1

Danger Area: II - Mult 0.3

Danger Area: III - Mult 1.0

Danger Area: IV - Mult 1.45

Danger Area: V - Mult 3.5

So, rare Essences and Treasure maps are completely removed from Protected Areas.

The uncommon materials (e.g. Mandrake, Sulfur etc) probabilities keep using their old multipliers per danger area.

Protected Mult 1.0

Danger Area: I - Mult 1.1

Danger Area: II - Mult 1.2

Danger Area: III - Mult 1.3

Danger Area: IV - Mult 1.4

Danger Area: V - Mult 1.5
