Released - February 2, 2019
Bug Fixes
- Turrets and Cannons will no longer fire underwater and can no longer be mounted underwater
- Fixed a bug allowing players to reset all glider cooldowns by moving the glider between hotbar slots
- Increased the required minimum diving velocity before going into the glide-fall state to reduce gaining/maintaining height
- Ghost Ship has been fixed and will now take damage.
Server Performance
- Eliminated Cannon Animations playing entirely on the server for performance savings
Quality Of Life
- Option to hide territory broadcast messages
- Territory broadcast message boxes now scale according to the character size of the message
- Gunport camera socket has been lowered and moved forward for better viewing when shooting from gunports
Ships that have been inactive for 3 weeks on PvE servers and Golden Age Ruin servers will now vaporize (tackling the abandoned ramshackle boats/rafts on maps) -Caused unintended ship deletion so was removed and a rollback of about 45 mins done on the PVE servers done.- PvE players will now be able to see their claim flag's inactivity timer on the flag itself
- Attacking Player no longer needs to be in range for declaiming progress
- Glider now has a required dive duration rather than a forced dive cooldown (achieves the same nerf effect on glider spam and feels better to use)
Creatures
- Whale Counts have been boosted on the Tundra and reduced the spawn interval between whales by 50%
- Wild Dragon damage has been reduced by 30%
- Golden Age Spawns have had their spawn interval increased from 30 seconds to 5 minutes and increased distance from players from 7700 to 9000
Music
- Various buffs/changes made to musical songs played on the Accordion. Details can be found here (copied below) - we have some planned updates to come for the War Drum in a future update, once we've resolved some technical issues related to it.
| In-Game Title | Song Length [Seconds] | Max Band Size | Buff Type | Time to Buff [Seconds] | Buff Lifetime [Seconds] | Buff Lifetime [Seconds] | Buff Scalar (Min) | Buff Scalar (Max) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Implementation Notes: | Songs either give buffs upon the successful completion of the song, or after a specified amount of time successfully playing the song (in which case the song loops infinitely). | If the song loops infinitely, the lifetime dictates how long the buff lasts after the song stops playing (as it stays active perpetually during the song). | Based on maximum band members | The effect of the buff based on minimum band members
For example, 1 member successfully playing the Treasure Map song on easy will result in a 1.1x Gold Bonus when receiving treasure from chests. |
The effect of the buff based on maximum band members.
For example, 6 members successfully playing the Treasure Map song on Easy will result in a 1.2x Gold Bonus when receiving treasure from chests. | |||
