Release Notes 18.12.0

NEW CONTENT:

  • Ancient Greece has gotten a major update with Thebes as the centre.
    There you can now find:

  • Information from Batiatus about a newly discovered set of dungeons and a third Gorgon sister.

  • A terminal to upgrade the new plate ‘Aegis of the Gorgonforged’.

  • An NPC to get daily missions for collecting key fragments and a terminal to convert those fragments to dungeon keys.

  • Several NPCs that offer daily missions with an AG currency as rewards.

  • Several terminals to use that currency on for various items, including paintings, statues, textures, clothes and much more.

  • A building only available for those who have finished all of the V.I.P. missions on Next Island, and who are also Islanders. Inside there are both dailies and a terminal to purchase exclusive rewards. A special task will also require having done the magical flower mission.

  • New estate and shop deeds will be used as prizes in a number of events during this week. Check the event list for more information.

  • Skeletons are back and seemingly angrier.

  • More vaseports were added to the Hospital.

  • AG is now indoor mining.

  • Content on Next Island:

  • New hunting dailies in all the V.I.P. locations.

  • An additional spawn of Mountain Boars Young just west of Forsaken Outpost.

  • A hunting daily for the Ghostly Screechers that can be found at Kamba Outpost.

  • The previously Forbidden Fishing Area near Bonerattle Cove is no longer forbidden but instead a place to fish for a guaranteed catch.

  • Sebastian now also offers the same deal for Puny Screechers as for the Piglets.

  • Added shopping booths to the house at Enchanted Village that will also be used as prizes in the events mentioned earlier.

  • At Shoreline Flats you can get a new mining mission to unlock a new area to the north. You will be required to have finished the ‘haruspex mining’ and the ‘mining for the gorgon’ missions.

  • A drake pet mission can be started in the N.E.O. V.I.P. cave.

CHANGES/FIXES:

  • The screecher cave is now bigger and also not a cave anymore.
  • The last mining irons are now repeatable.
  • All teleporters on NI now work both to and from AG. As an unintended side effect from this, only default Teleporters are visible so they need to be rediscovered.
  • Lady Fri has new paintings as reward choices.
  • ‘Magical flower bonus challenge’ now requires 50 of all loot instead of the previous 100.
  • The Mutant Boar area in Hero’s Folly has been smoothen and some trees have been removed.
  • A hopefully useful helper NPC has been added to the Magical Forest for those that have ended up there against their will.
  • A colosseum PvP area has been added to Thebes.
  • Added terminals to Enchanted Village.
  • Removed an extra piece of clothing on Medea.
  • Reckoning BP moved from NI OLD to NI Vehicles BP book.
  • Ad screens in AG either removed or replaced due to odd placement of text.
  • A museum added to the starter area with a flowerport from the dev lair.
  • Text added to the rollercoaster race ‘race faster’ to make it clear you have to start right away.
  • New loading screens provided by mostly players.
  • The sweatbot location now has its own flowerport also from Crystal Lake.
  • A second fix to the Wrathwings (F) name.
  • Added the new pets to the stable on Carnival Island.
  • Default teleport locations changed.
  • Moved the vaseport in the collision site to prevent getting stuck.
  • Resa Docks now only have Great White Sharks Young in the area.
  • Put the temple back in Sparta.
  • Terminals added to Lady Fri’s caravan.
  • Some vegetation in The Yell and Yellier has been removed to prevent the painters from getting stuck.

  • The xmas texture BPs now have the correct names.
  • Reward option added to the ‘daily crystalline core challenge’.
  • Sorensen’s weight adjusted.
  • Some mob spawn densities adjusted.
  • Increased reward choices for the ‘daily scouting resources’ and ‘weekly harvesting missions.
  • Molochs are now mutants.
  • The ‘crafting my future’ mission has lower requirements now.
  • Removal of some clouds in AG that made the sky a bit strange.
  • Winter is gone.
  • Named the mining iron terminal at crystal peak correctly.
  • Description added to the Collision Site.
  • 10+ Easter eggs to be found (depending on how you count).

KNOWN ISSUES:

  • The description on the Tempest Pet says modifiers on use, which is incorrect.
  • In the current version of the UI, it’s impossible to see the customizable area of the Podium (C)
  • C6H12O6 has the numbers set to 100% even though that’s not possible to get.
  • The new faction quests do not specify at the start that Universal Ammo is a choice for rewards.
  • A table outside the Hospital is hovering slightly.
  • Spelling error on one of the graves.
  • Skeletons may or may not be in the Codex yet, but it will be included.
  • Missing information about the new dungeons having a max of 12 people at the same time.

Mmm… great, but… i have some problems with textures in Hospital… and in my favorite place, Shatterrock, the TP is… see it, see it…

Yeah the TP has been sorted, will be normal on tuesday again.
Not sure what textures you mean in the hospital. Maybe lag?

Is possible… to enter at second door, textures are black… Ah! sometimes, the maps only show tp´s, not terrain…

There’s a lot more items at Thebes now, and trees and also people, so I’m just guessing that there will be some lag. But also, those houses are very old and might perform badly so to speak. I just always really liked them and wanted to use them. :slight_smile:
