:'''Today's new update has some bugs! We apologize. This has come as a complete shock to us -- we were not expecting any problems since all previous major alpha updates have been pretty bug-free. Hahaha no but don't worry, we are working on an update to this update now. Known fixes coming:'''

:'''<b>Reminder: if you see weird black blobs instead of trees:</b> this is a bug with a recent NVIDIA driver update; we're still unsure which specific cards are affected. We've heard that you can fix it by switching from full-screen to windowed mode or vice versa (it's an option in the Config window), then restarting the game. Once it's fixed, you can switch back to the mode you prefer.'''

::- The camera configuration options in the Mouse and Movement Parameters (under Options) have been reset, so if you had manually adjusted them before you will need to do so again. (A little annoying, but the valid range of these parameters has changed and the old values couldn't be mapped to new values.)::- The "Mouse Avatar Turn Speed" variable (also in Mouse and Movement Parameters) has also been reset.

::- The difficulties and rewards aren't linear. The 10-person quest earns 100 guild XP, while the 50-person quest earns 300 guild XP. If you've only got a few guild mates, it makes little sense to slog through the hardest versions -- they're 7x harder but give only 3x better XP.::- On the other hand, you can only complete three guild quests per week, so don't intentionally pick too-easy versions either, or you'll miss out on guild XP!::- Several guild quests unlock other guild quests upon completion (see below). They will only unlock the corresponding difficulty level of the next quest. For instance, completing the 25-person version of "Resupply Animal ::Town" unlocks the 25-person version of "Fox Outpost", but not the 10-person or 50-person versions of "Fox Outpost". So keep that in mind when you are choosing the quest version. ::- Guild quests are intended to be repeatable monthly, but since there are currently so few quests, they are temporarily repeatable every two weeks.::Difficulty feedback is needed! If you find that, for instance, one 50-person quest is much easier than another 50-person quest, please send feedback about it. The quests are expected vary a bit in difficulty, but they should all be in the same general range. But none of these quests have been vetted for sanity, and some (or all) may be stupidly hard or stupidly easy. I dunno. Let me know.::In the future we'll add more guild quests without telling you exactly where each one is, but right now we want your help testing everything out! So here's a list of the available content:::- Percy Evans in Eltibule: Completing this guild quest unlocks another quest (also given by Percy). He hints at a third quest, but it is not yet implemented.::- Spot in Sun Vale: Completing this guild quest unlocks a quest with a new NPC named Red in Kur Mountains.::- Nissim in Amulna: Completing this guild quest unlocks a quest with the Sand Seer in Amulna.::- Nelson Ballard: This guild quest does not yet have any follow-up quest.

::- The nonconforming guild member cannot earn Guild Credits. They always get zero credits from guild quests.::- All guild members are unable to spend their Guild Credits at the guild sign.::- All guild members are unable to undertake new Guild Quests.::- No new guild members can be introduced into the guild.

::- All of this dungeon should actually be a bit easier than before due to the fixes to monster visibility, but in any case, it is still intended for a group of 4-6 level 60 players.::- There is a simple dungeon mechanic in the last area, but I don't want to spoil how it's "supposed" to work. It should be easy to figure out. If you find that you can't make sense of it, please let me know, as it may just be buggy::- The lowest-level monsters and chests can occasionally drop a gem called "Vervadium". This is akin to Winterprize, but for level 70 crafting recipes - which are not in game yet. You can of course save it for later, or you can use it as fluorite in existing crafting recipes. Or, if you are Like Family with [[The Sand Seer]], you can trade your [[Vervadium]] to her in exchange for two pieces of [[Winterprize]].

::- The [[Winter Nexus]] dungeon has been revised a bit. This level 50 group dungeon now has actual group monsters in it! There are a reduced number of weaker monsters and the respawn rate has been slowed. In addition, mining [[Winterprize]] now requires the blood of the fae creatures that live in this dungeon, which is a relatively common item drop, especially from the elite ones. The intention of this change is to prevent players from running past monsters to loot the chests. You're supposed to kill the monsters!::- A new named elite monster has been added to the back end of the [[Winter Nexus]]; it can drop a quest item needed by one of the new guild quests::- The final boss of the [[Serbule Crypt]], [[Khyrulek's True Form]], has been added. This is a group encounter for 3 level 35 players. (This is completely un-play-tested. In fact, it’s not really very tested at all. So your feedback is needed!)::- The [[Necromancy]] altar in the [[Serbule Crypt]] has been removed. You now receive the skill after killing Khyrulek's True Form.::- The "foul air" debuff found in some dungeons now increases ability cost by +3 instead of +4, and it cannot stack with itself (which was only possible in weird situations anyway).

::- "Power Regeneration (Out of Combat) +12" => "Power from Combat Refresh Abilities +12"::- "Armor Regeneration (Out of Combat) +12" => "Armor from Combat Refresh Abilities +30"::- "Health Regeneration (Out of Combat) +12" => "Health from Combat Refresh Abilities +20"::- "Electricity Mitigation +6" => "Direct Electricity Mitigation +20"::- "Psychic Mitigation +6" => "Direct Psychic Mitigation +20"::- "Chance of Uncommon Loot +12%" => "Chance of Uncommon Loot +24%"::- "Chance of Rare Loot +3%" => "Chance of Rare Loot +9%"::- "Max Inventory Slots +3" => "Max Inventory Slots +6"

::- Mudbath: This skill has been rewritten. It is now a heal that can be used on yourself or an ally. It is tagged as a "major heal" for purposes of equipment that boosts major heals.::- New treasure for chest slot: "Mudbath causes target to take 26% less damage from all attacks for 10 seconds."::- Other Mudbath treasure has been revised to affect the target, rather than always affecting the pig.::- "Terror Dash" can now be placed on the sidebar.::- New ability: "Porcine Alertness". Learned from Norbert in Animal Town. This ability gives you and nearby allies some Evasion against melee and burst attacks::- New treasure effects add Accuracy, Armor healing, stun-resistance, and delayed healing to Porcine Alertness::- Frenzy: This skill has been rewritten to: "Work yourself and your allies into a frenzy of violence. You and your allies' melee attacks deal +50 damage for 10 seconds." 30 second reset.::- All treasure that boosted Frenzy has been revised so that it affects all group members, not just the pig.::- Treasure that made Frenzy boost the pig's speed has been rewritten: "For 15 seconds, Frenzy boosts targets' receptivity to Major Heals for so that they restore +45 Health."::- New treasure effect: "For 10 seconds, Frenzy boosts all targets' indirect damage +6."::- "Sustaining Snack" has been replaced with "Grunt of Abeyance", a small group heal.::- Treasure for Sustaining Snack (now Grunt of Abeyance) has been refactored to apply to the group.::- "Truffle Sniff" is no longer a crucial part of the pig's survivability and is now just a small bonus feature of the pig. Reset time changed from 30 seconds to 180 seconds::- The treasure effect "Truffle Sniff restores 120 health" has been replaced with: "Grunt of Abeyance grants all targets 21% mitigation from attacks, up to a maximum of 210 total mitigated damage."::- Treasure effect that boosted trauma mitigation has been replaced => "Pig Rend has a 50% chance to deal +140% damage."::- Treasure effect that boosted psychic mitigation has been replaced => "Pig Rend deals +126 Trauma damage over 15 seconds."::- Treasure effect "Squeal has a 50% chance to deal +600% damage" => "Squeal deals 180 Trauma damage over 15 seconds."::- Due to a severe lack of pig treasure effects for main-hand and off-hand slots, some of the old pig treasure effects had to be moved around to different equipment slots. Existing items with effects in the old slots will automatically become Legacy Items.::- [[Norbert]] in [[Sun Vale|Animal Town]] can raise your Pig skill cap to 60.

::- Brambleskin treasure mods that boost max armor/power/health:::- These mods did not stack with themselves if you had the same one in two slots. This is now fixed.::- These mods claimed to last 30 seconds but actually lasted 120 seconds; they last 30 seconds now.::- The descriptions did not mention that they also heal you for the amount they raise your max by (so if it gives +50 max health it also heals 50 health). Fixed descriptions.::- Enervate:::- Enervate was being boosted by equipment that boosts Regrowth, making it impossible to balance one without over- or under-balancing the other (among other problems). This is now fixed.::- Enervate has been renamed to Energize. ("Enervate" means "to make weak" and was originally the name of a debuff that didn't end up being used. When it became a heal, it was never renamed. Not to be confused with ::"Innervate", which is a healing-related spell in WoW, but that word means "to supply nerves" … which sounds pretty macabre. Probably some mutation battle chemists would have.)::- Changed treasure effect: "Enervate has a 60% chance to conjure a magical field on the target that mitigates 20% of all physical damage they take for 1 minute (or until 200 damage is mitigated)." => "Energize heals + 36 health and conjures a magical field on the target that mitigates 10% of all physical damage they take for 1 minute (or until 100 damage is mitigated)."::- Replaced treasure effect: "Enervate has a 50% chance to heal 250 armor to all targets." => "Energize heals 125 armor to all targets."::- Regrowth now heals more health at higher tiers. (Max tier now heals 180 instead of 130.)::- Hunter’s Stride:::- Replaced treasure effect: " Hunter's Stride boosts targets' Out Of Combat Health Regeneration +24" => "Energize Heals +84" (now for both Necklace and off-hand slot).::- Replaced treasure effect: "Hunter's Stride boosts targets' out-of-combat Power regeneration +24" => "Hunter's Stride causes targets' Combat Refresh Abilities to heal +12 Health."::- Replaced treasure effect: "Hunter's Stride boosts targets' Out Of Combat Armor Regeneration +36" => "Hunter's Stride boosts targets' Armor Regeneration (in and out of combat) +12."::- Fixed a bunch of Druid treasure effects that only buffed the druid instead of buffing the actual target(s).

::- GUI improvement: when you examine an item, its built-in properties are white and any enchantments or augments are green. This should help newbies understand how gear works a little easier and help experienced players compare two pieces of gear more efficiently.::- Fixed a bug with training dummies that could keep you from regenerating health if you stood near them.::- [[Nameless Guardian]]'s curse can happen again.::- Fixed a bug with various GUI sounds not playing. (They were playing in 3D space about a mile from the player. Thanks, Unity upgrade!)::- When scraping crystal fragments from the big red crystal in [[Serbule]], there is a limit of 5 crystal-summoned enemy deer at once -- this is intended to prevent mischief by high-level players. But this caused a problem because the dead deer still counted toward the limit, so once 5 corpses existed, no more could spawn until one dissolved. Fix: Deer corpses no longer count toward the 5-crystal-deer limit.::- Removed collision physics from cheese barrels.::- Pets: you cannot dismiss a pet while you are in active combat. (Your pet can still be in combat, but you yourself must not have attacked anyone or been attacked recently.) This change is intended to deter Animal Handlers from simply dismissing their pet when things get nasty.::- Imbuing items with extracted Redwall enhancements will no longer cause the item to become Legacy.::- Ichin will no longer train you in Ice Magic Research 55 or 60 until you have Ice Magic level 55 or 60, respectively.::- The favor "Amutasa's Metal" now actually requires masterwork slabs as it claims.::- The foreleg/hindleg guards of the werewolf armor were not dyeable; they are now. (But note that all of the set is only one-color dyeable.)::- Dozens of smaller bugs in quests, NPC text, gear descriptions.::- The [[Fire Magic]] level 15 research recipe taught the level 20 spell Ring of Fire. (But you couldn't actually use it until you got to level 20.) This spell is now taught by the level 20 fire magic research recipe.::- Wood Glue items were supposed to stack in inventory but didn't. They now stack to 10.::- [[Animal Handling]]: abilities that target your pet are now marked as "harmless". This prevents pet rats from Evading your buff abilities.::- Rewrote slash-command logic to be more forgiving of extra spaces and capitalization. (This is new code so there may be new bugs with slash commands; if you find any please report them!) ::- Lots of items and effects' descriptions cleaned up to try to make it more clear what they do. These did not involve any actual stat changes unless noted elsewhere in these notes. (As an example change, the description of basic bouquets makes it clearer that they boost combat refresh abilities -- meaning that you have to use a combat refresh ability to get the benefit.)::- [[Goblin]] [[Necromancy]] Focus description said it had a necromancy gem in it, but it didn't really. Does now!::- New slightly-less-annoying particles for healing effects.::- Many treasure effects that provided minor healing no longer have a particle. (They were too visually noisy.)::- Treasure that claimed to boost "Healing From First Aid" did not work. Fixed.::- Treasure that claimed to boost "Tough Hoof Activation Healing" did not work. Fixed.::- Treasure that claimed to boost "Patch Armor Efficacy" did not work. Fixed.::- Treasure that claimed to boost "Healing from Sigils" did not work. Fixed.::- Treasure that claimed to boost "Healing from Misc. Player Abilities" did not work for any abilities and was confusing and dumb. This effect has been rewritten to be "Healing Received from Major Healing Abilities".::- Worked around Unity 5.3 bug with path-mapping (which caused right-click-move to sometimes only move you a few inches forward and then stop).::- By request, added new configuration option to keep the game from auto-retargeting an attack when your current target is dead. Uncheck "Auto-Retarget Attacks When Current Target is Dead" in the Configuration window under ::'''"Mouse and Movement Parameters". The expected use is from ranged attackers who want to make sure they never pull an extra monster in the thick of battle. (You can still press Tab to manually target the next enemy.)'''::- Mr. Squeaky now drops his tiara, rather than it spawning near him. (It only drops when you have the quest to retrieve it.)::- Mr. Squeaky's defenses have been nerfed. (But he's still Evasive, and his psi blasts are as dangerous as ever.)::- Low-level Fire Sheep no longer drop stacks of 2-4 Fire Dust -- they drop 1 at a time, like the high-level fire sheep do.::- [[General Pask]] has learned a new ranged attack.::- Fixed a bug with all equipment effects that caused specific abilities to add/remove Taunt. They sometimes worked, but depending on various factors they would often simply not do anything. (NOTE: Note: at this point I suspect that all major aggro bugs involving players have been found. If there are still aggro bugs, the most likely cause would be pets, because pet aggro is still not heavily vetted. So if you suspect an aggro bug, see if you can isolate it to a pet!)::- Removed the community donation chests from [[Eltibule]] and [[Serbule]]. They were constantly being ransacked by higher-level players just to make a few coins, and an empty charity box is much worse than no charity box at all in terms of making newbies feel welcome.::- Many monsters have higher chances of dropping level 60 Hardcore armor, but only if you are flagged as Hardcore yourself. (There is still a chance to get hardcore gear even if you're not Hardcore yourself - that part is unchanged.)::- There is now a hardcore-only shield in the loot tables.::- Fixed several causes of framerate spikes. Probably the most noticeable spikes were caused when clicking on the ground to move or when tabbing between targets.::- Group-monster loot profiles and treasure-chest loot profiles have improved chances of dropping higher-tier equipment, including Legendary gear.::- [[Guardian Scorpion]]s should no longer attack the pets of animal-form players (unless the pets attack them).::- Fixed a glitch in one of the audio tracks in Rahu's player-music song.::- [[Kur Mountains]] has new background music (a/k/a the orc theme).::- [[Yeti Cave]] has new background music ("Cave Crawl").::- Due to reports of increased lag when the server has been up for over a week, there is a new chat-command "/status". This gives some very basic debugging info that may help us figure out where the lag comes from, or at least when it starts. If you report lag, please include pertinent info from that command!
