———————————————–

Creature Targeting AI

  • Overhauled the AI code for NPC Target Selection, which should result in Tamed/Summoned creatures holding aggro more consistantly

Barding

  • Fixed an issue where Barding Songs bonuses weren’t applying correctly to Tamed/Summoned creatures
  • Fixed an issue where players couldn’t activate Barding Songs due to not being in a Ship Fighting Party, despite being on land

Stealth

  • Fixed an issue that was causing the Shadow Aspect Healing mechanic to not work correctly (for real this time!)
  • If a player successfully Backstabs a creature, there will now be a minimum of at least 1.0 seconds delay before the creature may attack that player

Autostealth

  • If a player has Auto-Stealth enabled, when 10 seconds have passed since their last Stealth usage (skill cooldown) and they still have Stealth Steps remaining, they will now receive a “You will automatically stealth when out of steps” message

  • If a player has Auto-Stealth enabled and they have reached 0 Stealth Steps remaining, they will receive a “You feel ready to continue stealthing” message if they can immediately continue stealthing (i.e. 10 seconds has passed since last Stealth skill usage)

Aspect Phylacteries

  • Aspect Phylacteries will no longer have a Menu when double-clicked, and instead will immediately be activated (if player has no cooldown in place)
  • Players will have no cooldown between using Aspect Phylacteries while on the Test Shard

Dungeon Levels
In preparation for our upcoming Dungeon Overhauls, we’ve updating our naming conventions for levels of dungeons to account for layout changes that have occurred in the past and to create consistency for upcoming features

Players on the Test Shard can use the [Go command to see the full list of naming conventions for each level/area

The following changes have been made:

Ossuary Dungeon

  • Skeleton Room is now referred as Level 1.5
  • Level 3 is now referred to as Level 2
  • Dragon Cavern is now referred to as Level 2.5 Caverns
  • Level 3.5 is now referred to as Level 2.5 Crypt
  • Level 4 is now referred to as Level 3

Note: The renaming of Ossuary Level 3 and Ossuary Level 4 is due to the old merger of Levels 1 + 2 that occurred last year, and these changes now reflects the fact that there are 3 functional levels to this dungeon

Thieves Guild

  • Players will no longer be able to gain Thieves Codex experience in the New Player Dungeon (similar to our other XP handling)
  • Fixed an issue where the Black Market was not updating Weekly Scalars correctly for Black Goods values
  • Fixed an issue where players stealing from an Orange/Red/Grey player was incorrectly resulting in a 2 minute Heat of Battle timer (should now be the correct 30 duration)
  • Aggressive/Hostile actions against Red Hand Thieves Guild members will now have a maximum Heat of Battle timer of 30 seconds (was incorrectly treating them as Blue/Innocent for duration length)

Smoke Bombs

  • Players can no longer use a Smoke Bomb if they have used an Adventurer’s Rope or cast the Teleport spell in the last 5 seconds

Shrine of Valor

  • Fixed an issue that was causing several bad destinations for the Shrine of Valor when Hiking or using Chivalry Moongates

Tracking

Ships

  • Fixed an issue where the Hard to Port ship upgrade graphic was displaying as blank

Aspect Item Tome

  • Fixed an issue where the shift-click context menu entry for Aspect Item Tomes was incorrectly displaying as “Add All Treasure Maps in Backpack”

House NPCs

  • Reduced the delay between re-deeding and re-placing a House NPC (such as Dockmasters, Stablemasters, etc) to 30 seconds (previously was 60 minutes)

Prevalian Exchange Officer

  • Players can now exchange Death, Discipline, and Holy aspect items at the Prevalian Exchange Officer
