Patch 6.0.0 is aligned with Season 6 Wipe. Season 6 will start on 1/11. The patch notes below represent a summary of all changes made during Season 5.

Improvements

  • Implemented Mastery System
  • PvP on Noob Island has been restricted by nation. Killing your own nation is no longer allowed.
  • The World and Login Servers have been split apart. This change not be noticed by players and will open up development options moving forward.
  • Gifts will no longer be consumed if you do not have space within your inventory to open.
  • Resources capped at 500 on warehouses now have been increased to 3000.

Improved R8 Rewards

R8 Encounters are now more prosperous. Their loot tables have been improved.

  • 10x Fabled Stockpile (Common resources will drop in stacks of 120, Rare & XPAC resources will drop in stacks of 60)
  • 2x Alternate Elite Gear Pieces
  • 2x Racial Followers (NPC's) related to Biome
  • 3x Mysterious Rune (High Level Stat Rune)
  • 1,000,000 Gold
  • 1x Realm Charter
  • 5x Elan Stones (Offerings)

Bounties

  • Veteran, Veteran Challenge & Veteran Raid bounties have had a large XP boost added to their reward.
  • Bounty Gold Drops have been significantly increased.

Bane Buffs & Anti-Zurg mechanics

  • Morloch's Revelry (anti-zerg mechanic) has been reworked to incorporate community feedback as well as removed methods players were using to circumvent the mechanic.
    • Crashers will be slain after 20 seconds of entering the grid while a bane buff is active.
    • A warning message is generated over the Siege channel to inform the player they should retreat from the area.
    • Characters with a multi-box debuff are now treated as crashers, only bring one character to a bane.
    • Scanning Frequency has been reduced from 5 minutes to 5 seconds, a data model is used to determine the buff based on a larger 15 minute window populated every 5 seconds. This means no more drastic swings in calculations for players dropping tags, entering or exiting the grid.
    • Crashers will only be slain if the minimum requirements for the bane buff are met. In smaller bane encounters, all characters will be in an unmodified state.

Bug Fixes

  • Movement around rotated buildings is now working as intended.
  • Ranger track has been corrected to correct range and cast time. Range has been shortened from 1408 to 1280, cast time increased to align with non-scout track.
  • Resolved an issue where another player tracking you removed your track arrow.
  • Resolved an issue when a successful raid defense causes a withdraw on the warehouse.
  • Resolved an issue when selling low tier items.
  • Resolved an issue where mana usage and regeneration was not calculating correctly in-flight. (./printregen now shows mana regeneration rate)
  • 110% Blademaster Swords now require the correct amount of resources to roll.
  • Line of sight issues when on, or near building footprints has been improved. Casting from walls or buildings, or on building footprints such as a tree of life now work as intended.
