Optimizations

• Occlusion
  
  • This optimization should improve frame rates in areas around complex player-made voxel geometry and cave systems.
    
• We've done a lot of behind the scenes work on Texture Atlasing.
  
  • This should resolve the issue with materials sometimes showing as dirt or something else entirely.
  • Textures that are closer to the camera are actually being displayed at a higher resolution.
  • This also fixed an issue that would sometimes result in a very long shutdown time.
  • PC's that are on the lower end of the Min Spec should see an improvement in performance when setting their Texture Quality to Low or Medium.
  • On the Development side, this opens the door for a significant increase in the number of materials we can use at any given time.
    

Keywords

The first iteration of the keyword system is in! This system allows items and abilities to communicate with each other. This means that abilities will be marked with a keyword and items will have bonuses that apply only to abilities with the specified keyword.

Each ability on the already existing weapons has been marked with a damage type keyword that is reflective of its overall flavor. The keywords are as follows:

• Soldier’s Blade is now Physical
• Mercenary’s Staff is now Water
• Slayer’s Bow is now Fire
  

Armor

There are several new temporary pieces of armor that are craftable for free on the Forge. These are gloves, helms (non-visible, sorry), and chest pieces. Helms and gloves are stat based items that grant base stats. Each chest piece has an associated helm and glove set.

Chest armors have major passive bonuses associated with them and many stats (some new). These bonuses can be keyword specific or generic and often times allow you to create a new style of play for yourself. The armors are as follows:

• Battle-Forged Plate - Using a Physical Dash ability gives you a temporary shield equal to 5% of your maximum Health.
• Barbed Armor - Opponents that deal damage to you are attacked back, taking (0.25 Offense + 5) damage. Can only be triggered every 1 second.
• Blood-Soaked Leathers - While your Armor is at 0, your Critical Strike is increased by 100%.
• Fiery Tunic - Your Offense is increased by 10% while using Fire abilities, but Fire spells cost 20% more energy.
• Cloak of Quickness - Decreases your cool downs by 30%, but lowers your Offense by 15%.
• Frost Coat - Each time you damage a Frozen or Snared opponent with a Water ability, they take an additional (0.05 * Offense) damage.
• Pursuit of Power - You gain 10% Armor Steal, but your Armor is reduced by 20%.
• Soldier’s Breastplate - Increases Offense by 55 when you are below 25% Health.
• Slayer’s Vest - Increases Critical Strike by 200 when wearer is at full health.
• Mercenary’s Robe - Scoring a critical strike instantly heals 25% of your maximum Energy. Can only be triggered every 2 seconds.
  

Accessories

There are also many new accessories available on the Outfitter’s Table. These accessories are created to support the play styles that the weapons have and the play style changes that the armors promote.

The accessories are as follows:

• Reinforcing Charm - Incoming Physical Armor heals also restore an additional 2%of your Health. Can be triggered once every 2 seconds.
• Ring of Shielding - Scoring a critical strike grants you a temporary shield equal to 5% of your maximum Armor.
• Liquid Iron Orb – Fire projectiles deal (Offense * 0.09) additional damage every 0.5 second over a 1 second period. Can be triggered once every 3 seconds.
• Band of Flame - Fire attacks deal (Offense * 0.12) additional damage in a 5 meter radius around the target. Can be triggered once every 2 seconds.
• Crystal-Shard Earrings - Water abilities lower the cool down of your abilities by 0.2 seconds.
• Sigil of Piercing Cold - Your Offense is increased by 10% while using Water abilities.
• Earrings of Precision – Your Offense is increased by 8% while using projectile abilities.
• Excruciating Anklet - Your Offense is increased by 10% while using damage over time abilities.
• Ring of Crushing Might - Physical attacks cause your target to bleed, dealing (Offense * 0.06) additional damage every 0.5 second over a 1.5 second period. Can be triggered once every 3 seconds.

Optimisations

• Occlusion
  
  • Cette optimisation devrait améliorer le taux d’images par seconde dans les zones aux alentours des constructions complexes faites par les joueurs et des grottes.

  • Cela corrige également des problèmes qui augmentaient la durée de certaines maintenances
  • Les PC qui sont de puissance assez faible devraient voir une amélioration des performances lorsque leurs textures sont en low ou medium.
  • Du côté du développement, cela permet d’augmenter de manière significative le nombre de matériaux utilisables.
