The one where they added The Wall™.

Hello!

In case you missed it, last week we shared our vision for the future:

Meaningful Content Every Quarter.

Read the full write-up talking Dragons, Armour, Lore, and something bigger on the horizon for 2027.

Incoming Changes

• Additional options for Bloom and Depth of Field settings and changes to improve blur in distant images.

  • We're dropping in a few extra settings to help us give you more levers to pull to improve your experience, whether in quality or performance!

• Changes to building piece health - scaling up from 100hp across the board up to values as high as 1500!

• Two new build pieces for base defences - Palisade Walls and Palisade Gates.

• Visual treatment for Tier 2 Building pieces (Oak).

• When building pieces take 50% damage, they will visually show wear and tear. 

  • I know we said "Visible decay" in the vlog but that's not a system we have. He just says stuff without thinking.

• We're introducing a Coziness system – your survival meters will not decay while you’re near a claimed bed, so you can build and craft more freely.

• The Magic Skill is arriving! Level up to Level 50, and enjoy two new Skill Spells, potions and consumables to blast through your foes. 

  • This includes "Surge" and "Confuse" as our first two Skill Spells for Magic!

  • We're also including Spell Upgrades to enhance Skill Spells! 

  • Read all about the Magic Skill here. 

• Hard difficulty setting, for those who like an extra challenge.

  •  Thirst, Hunger & Fatigue can reduce Health to 0%

  • Skill XP beyond your current level is lost on death

  • You may only have one gravestone at a time. If you die with a gravestone active your first gravestone will be destroyed, along with all the items it protected.

  • Enemy attacks deal more damage.

  • Enemies have more Health.

  • Weaknesses & Resistances have stronger effects.

• We've also done a complete pass on Item Weights which means that things will weight different values now. 

• The Abyssal Whip is now crafted by visiting the Vault located in Bloodblight Swamp.

• All fuel items have had their burn times adjusted to help you avoid losing the occasional log or fuel source while you’re cooking or crafting. 

• All items also now fall into 1 of 4 max stack sizes: 1, 50, 99 or 999 depending on the item. Nice, tidy numbers - including those 99s we know you love... 

• We've made general improvements to lighting, performance, stability and balancing enemy health values. 

• World fixes for areas where you could get stuck or out of bounds, as well as some asset clipping and floating issues.

  • Remember: if you get stuck, you can press Esc and then hold "X" to Unstick yourself and teleport back to a safe spot.

• Fixes for audio not playing as expected in multiple places.

• Journal fixes for some typos and missing entries.

• Improvements to quest marker positions.

• Dirty water will no longer spawn at the temple when your inventory is full.

  • Ok, to be honest I don't believe that I have to write this as a patch note but hey, you're welcome. 

• Improvements to key binding.

This is all in service of us laying the foundations of what's to come: Custom Servers, Creative Mode, Hardcore, new random world events, new Skills, new Regions, new Gear Progression Tiers, new Dragons.
