Multiplayer and networking deployment 👥

This will be our first public release of our in-house built networking architecture. Our team will be monitoring our server capabilities, as we scale to accommodate the influx of new players. NPCs such as Banshees, Minotaurs and Wolves are local to you (The player) for this patch whilst we monitor statistics and data from the initial launch. This adaptive mechanism was introduced to test stability and will be removed come our combat V2 release.

 

Preparing for the anticipated Combat V2 release 🤺

Combat V2 will enhance combat capabilities, introduce new spells from the GDD and bring new life to zones, providing more mob-dense locations. The battle will never stop!

 

Release of the Amazon class! 🏹

Heavily relying on their trusty bows, the proud Amazons are a force to be reckoned with in ranged combat, excelling in armor penetration, speed and crowd control, making it challenging to reach them and engage in a melee clash. Even in a face to face encounter however, an Amazon is far from an easy target, as they're known to vanish into the shadows and return to deliver a deadly blow when least expected.

Known issues

As this is our first release of multiplayer we don't truly know how well our servers scale with the number of users. We have telemetry keeping track of things. You might find lag, disconnections during the first week as we monitor things.   Another area you might find some strange behaviour is attacking monsters. Even in multiplayer your NPCs are local to you. So you might see players attacking creatures that are not there for you. This will be resolved in the future combat update.
