PATCH: January 23 – More Poker, Looting and Many Bug Fixes!

01 / 25 / 2020

Poker

  • Maximum Buy-Ins for Poker have been restored to 10,000,000 gold
  • Players who are Eliminated (i.e. reach 0 gold) during a Public Cash-Game poker match are Autokicked from the game unless they Re-Buy In within the next 2 minutes
  • Players who Leave a Public poker match or are Autokicked cannot rejoin that match for 10 minutes
  • Added support for players to be able to toggle “Auto-Call”, “Auto-Check”, and “Auto-Fold” during a poker round to automatically do that action if applicable next time it is their turn

Boss Looting Item Rights

  • In order to curb the rampant use of illegal looting scripts, we have implemented a new loot mechanic on high end content
  • Boss Level Creatures (Mini-Boss, Boss, Omni Boss, Event Boss) now feature a Looting Rights mechanic on individual items on their corpses
  • For the first 60 seconds after a boss creature dies, players are only able to see or lift items on a Boss corpse that they have been granted specific Looting Rights to
  • After 60 seconds have passed, players can loot any and all items from the corpse as normal
  • Players get Looting Rights to a number of random items on the corpse equal to (% Player Damage Dealt to Creature x Total Items on Corpse) rounded down
  • Party Damage Sharing does factor into a player’s “Damage Dealt to Creature” value for a boss
  • For example a player who dealt 10% of the total damage to a boss that has 150 items on its corpse, would get access to 15 randomized items, and they would be the only player who could see those items on the corpse and lift them for the first 60 seconds
  • For players who dealt damage to the boss, but their Damage Total (rounded down) wasn’t enough to earn an single item, they will be added to a randomized pool of players who will get Looting Rights to any remaining items on the corpse not already assigned to a player (they will have Looting Rights to those remaining items for 60 seconds)
  • Once 60 seconds have passed after the boss creature dies, any players can double-click the boss corpse and all remaining items on the corpse will now become visible and liftable by them

Wilderness Loot

  • Wilderness creatures now drop 100% of normal loot (previously was 75% of normal)

  • The maximum wilderness restriction is 15 minutes

Tamed Creature Corpses

  • Tamed Creature Corpses will now decay in 10 seconds
  • If a Tamed Creature has a backpack, such as a Pack Animal or creature with the Mule Trait, their corpse will instead decay in 5 minutes

Hiking

  • Hiking now counts as a skill activation, meaning you must wait for any current skill cooldowns before hiking, and cannot use any skills while in the process of hiking

Echoes

  • When players activate an Echo, they will lose any active bonuses they have for Camping, Forensic Eval, or Taste ID skills currently in place

Damage Entries

  • Players in Parties will no longer be able to share experience if they have been dead for 10 minutes or more (previously was 5 minutes)

  • Fixed an issue where players were able to leave guilds and rejoin a new guild immediately (players are required to wait 1 hour before joining a new guild after leaving one)

Houses

  • Fixed an issue where Locked Down items being deleted or being added to a Storage Shelf would still count towards the house’s Lockdown capacity
  • Players who are Ejected or Banned from a house also have all of their followers removed from the house

  • Players who resurrect inside of a PvP event area will be treated as becoming a participant in that event (but only if they have “Participate in PvP events” toggled in their settings)

Global War

  • Fixed an issue where Arena matches would sometimes be considered for Global War kills

  • When players pay gold to retrieve Salvageable (but not Ransomed) ship items from the Salvage Menu, it will first use any Salvage Gold Credit avaialble to pay the cost for the item, and then use gold from the player’s bank for the remainder, if neccessary
  • Players receive 300 Salvage Gold Credit per Rank of Ship Crewmember (i.e. Novice = 300 Gold, Adept = 600 Gold, Veteran = 900 Gold, Expert = 1200 Gold, Mastery = 1500 Gold)
