Combat

• Molten Rebuke on the Flame Bound Bastion now continues to block but does not counter projectiles, instead of stopping blocking in order to counter projectiles
• Creatures whose spawners are placed in the air should no longer fail to path and/or attack
• “Elite” creatures and very large creatures are now immune to stun, root, freeze, snare, and silence (burn). Note that the attack’s effects will still play to indicate that ability did, in fact, land. But the creature will not be inhibited in any way.
• Creatures will no longer make a clapping animation at inappropriate times.
• Creatures should no longer occasionally spawn a level higher than placed, either on build sites or in chaos caverns
• Proximity Mines are treated as creatures on your build site, and they have the same faction and respawn settings as other non-pathing creatures like fiery fungi do
• Luminaries should now look more epic and fancy while reviving each other.
• Ebonguard priestess should now do damage even if she does not move from her spawn location
• Getting hit with electrocution should no longer cause your weapon to stop working
• Secondary channeled abilities should now show a cast bar
• Chompers should no longer occasionally seem invulnerable in caves/ruins
• [Updated!] Players can now place a target dummy NPC on their claim to practice combat with. This NPC will stand in one location and intermittanly swing its sword. Note that it does not do any actual damage, and will not be relevant to any enemy NPCs. The target dummy is default learned for all players.
  

Storytelling

New Feature: Story Saving!

• When you enter Play Mode, the current state of all props on your Build Site will be saved.
• When you return to Edit Mode, that saved state will be automatically restored.
• Example: When I enter Play Mode, a door is closed and a torch is lit. A friend visits my Build Site and plays through my story. While playing, they open that door and the torch goes out as the boss walks into the room. When I return to Edit Mode, that props will return to their saved state (door closed, torch on).
• This also affects settings on props like NPC Faction, Timer countdowns, and Logic Filter variables.
  

New Prop: Reset Node

• Of course, you’ll likely want to take advantage of that cool new Story Saving feature to let Luminaries always start your story fresh when they visit.
• This prop has no Events and one Action (when linked TO this prop from another prop): “…Reset the story on this Build Site.”
• When that Action is triggered, it will restore the saved state of all props and creatures on the Build Site (just like we described above for entering Edit Mode).
• You can use this for all sorts of things. Like making a timed challenge that resets after a Timer completes and makes them try again, or to have the entire dungeon reset after they kill the big boss at the end. We hope this’ll give you a little more control over the experience Luminaries have when visiting your Build Site!
  

Story Node: Smarter Than Ever!

• Previously, Story Nodes were very rigid in how they required Links to be set up in order for text and animations to work. But there are other valid ways that builders could expect them to function, so we’ve added in backup logic that does everything it can to find a way to make the text/animation reach its expected target. Hopefully these changes better accommodate all of the various building styles and expectations Luminaries have when using this Node (and will cut down on the number of Links needed in many cases!)
  
  • Example: When an Action is triggered to activate Text:
  • [Current functionality] First, the Story Node looks for an outgoing link to send that Text to a creature.
  • [New functionality] If no outgoing Links for the Text exist, then the Story Node checks whatever triggered the Link initially. If it’s a creature, then that creature will say the Text.
  • [New functionality] If the no outgoing Links for the text exist AND the prop that triggered the Link initially is not a creature, then the Story Node itself will say the Text. (Note that Story Nodes cannot display Chat Bubbles since they’re hidden in Play Mode).
    
• With these two new backup scenarios in place, you should almost always see text and animations happen when triggered, no matter how you set up the Links.
  

Story Node: New Event “When everything on this node activates…”

• Triggered by the existing Action “…Activate everything on this node.”
• When linked to a creature spawner, connects to a new Action “…Have this creature perform everything.”
• This should make it much faster to create Links for Story Nodes sending everything to the same creature.
  

Story Node: Polish

• Now costs Plain Wood, like other Story Tools.
• Now shows their name (which you can edit), to make it easier to organize them.
• Now stops sending Text when you switch to Edit Mode.
• Text Display setting now defaults to Chat Bubble (instead of On Screen).
• Text sent to the chat window now uses the proper formatting to mimic other chat messages displayed there.
• Due to potential issues with consistency and security, text can no longer display HTML. We recognize that this was a useful feature and we’ll consider implementing it in an official, safe way in the future.
• You can now use Story Node Events (like “When the stance on this node activates…”) to trigger unrelated Actions on all Linkable props. Creatures are still the only ones who can speak/animate, but this will help you coordinate multiple Links triggering off of the same Event.
  

New Link Functionality (Optional): “Auto-complete Links when only one action is available”

• You can find this in your Game Settings window, defaulted to off.
• If turned on, when you’re creating a Link and open an Action List with only one option in it, the Link will be automatically completed with that Action chosen.
  

Interactions: Polish

• The prompt to interact (and interaction highlight visual) now only appears on creatures who have active and available interaction Links on them. If you cannot interact with a creature or nothing would happen if you did interact with them, you will not be prompted to do so.
• While on the Enemy Faction, creatures now realize they’re too busy killing you to be interacted with. If their Faction changes to Ally or Neutral, the creature will be able to be interacted with again.
  

Miscellaneous Polish

• All Story Tool props no longer have collision. Run free, builders!
• Darkfang Specter will now correctly trigger Areas that it enters.
• Creatures are now able to speak/animate immediately after they spawn. This means the “When this creature spawns…” Event can now successfully trigger the Story Node to have that creature speak/animate immediately.
• On spawn events can now be linked to Story Node props
  

Social

• General Chat has its own tab again, and it can be disabled in the Chat Options menu. General Chat will continue to also be displayed in the default Chat tab.
• Officer and Guild Chat channels should no longer remain after deleting and recreating a character
• Guild News should now persist the name of players who are deleted
• Chat should now be cleared when a player logs out
• Guild list should no longer fail to display a name when a list longer than a full page is scrolled through
• If you speak in chat using /say the next message should also default to /say
  

Goals

• Completed Goals should now show all the steps you completed, not just the first step
• Selection and paint steps have been reversed in "Building Block Basics"
• Daily "Build Site Tourist" should now correctly update and finish for characters who had not done it before. Unfortunately, those who are ‘stuck’ on it will remain stuck.
• Daily goals with no progress will be now removed from your journal with each daily reset. Goals with some progress will remain to be completed.
  

Chaos Caverns

• Props in Outposts should no longer be placed at incorrect heights

Thanks!

Props

Known Issues

• IF YOU KNOW OF A BUG THAT ISN'T IN THE ISSUE TRACKER, PLEASE MAKE SURE WE KNOW ABOUT IT TOO! We quite possibly don't, and bugs we don't know about won't get fixed!
• There are many other known issues in the dgcissuetracker, but these are the most relevant ones to the contents of this update:
• If you have a filter on your materials palette and use the eyedropper to select a material that is NOT included in the filter, your current material will change to grass instead of the material you want it to. (Simply clear your filter and select again in this case.)

• Yes, we are continuing to work on blending changes
• [Updated] Yes, we are still investigating some issues with the tools, although we did get in some improvements for the line tool and sphere not deleting cleanly!
• [Updated] Clicking the Character Fly Camera button does not work (pressing F4 on your keyboard should still work)
