GENERAL:
* New: Player chest ! The player chest is now available in Amarth. You will also find a player chest in the housing furniture for you to access your gear from your house. The player chest is shared between your characters.
* New: audio assets and audio system, triggering “horde” sound according to the number of enemies around
* Improved: Many of the content has been splitted for better loading times and, in the future, smaller updates. It should be the last 8Gb update! We now have 68 .pak, and we plan to split the data even more.
* Improved: Faster loading times. We once again optimized many files and you should gain a few seconds.
* Fixed: Plants near the river will now only give ferns, so players will always have enough to complete “The Cure” quest.
* Improved: The camera position has been slightly adjusted * Removed: Halloween event dungeon. UI & VISUALS:
* The ROS has been reworked and the white overlay is now combined with arrows to indicate the current flow direction and bars to delimitate the different costs in the queue. Skills can now have different transferring speed from one resource to the other, and this will help us to balance resource exchanges in the future. Since we haven’t find the right transfert time for each skill yet, you may experience situations were lots of costs queue on the interface (lots of small bars in Umbra or Rage) but this will be fixed in the future.
