Week 2: September 8th

· New creatures
· Magic resistance recalculation
· Changed the release of spells to fit our combat system better
· Weapon balances
· Basic Fishing (advanced fishing gets finalized in next patch)

Next period:

· Epic Games build patch

Things below may be changed depending on the Epic Games build status.
· Texture optimization
· Option to aim up, down and move siege weapons
· New creatures
· Alarm Bell on keeps
· New "pickables"
· Craftable Mount gear
· Possibility to let siege weapons stay in the world until they are destroyed
· Basic Alliance option
· Mount weapons
· New weapon group: crossbows
· New armor sets
· Basic Alchemy
· Epic Creature
· High resolution textures support
· New creatures
· New dungeon
· Fledgling flag
· Increased storage space for keeps including a vault chest to keep tax money in

Good news on the magic front (I hope). Unfortunately the textures optimization and trees seemed to have been pushed to the EPIC patch which doesn't have a clear ETA yet.

Oh well, guess I'll have more time to go fishing now that I won't be staring at trees

I notice that fledging flag has been corrected to fledgling flag as I suspected.

**Sebastian Persson** · 3rd September 2010, 15:57

Yes the reason why the roadmap got things pushed forward is due to the fact that we want to get the epic-games patch merged into our code ASAP.

Change to magic.. good stuff

Andi89 · 3rd September 2010, 16:09

Dammit, I go to Italy the day fishing gets implemented

Besides that: Nice

-TYRANT- · 3rd September 2010, 16:32

Probly gonna make it so you fizzle if you attempt to release without LOS.

edit: this would be one step in the right direction, if they won't make it aim based, this is the next best thing. I think they should still make it so spells are faster, but don't follow targets, that way magic can be dodged.

Skydancer0 · 3rd September 2010, 16:40

Or maybe a slight seeking effect which can be dodged at a distance

trees are out again? ffs why put them on there in the first place?!

Dementia · 4th September 2010, 00:49

Am I the only one slightly worried that "Next Period" may very well mean a few weeks without patch?

You can still live without a weekly patch...

Who cares really? Give them a few weeks to digest this new code and give us a good patch (hopefully). They have said that they need this code to fix a bunch of their issues. I am willing to give them the benefit of the doubt and give them a bit of time to merge the code and develop their patch.

I would prefer to wait a couple of weeks and not rush them if it means better quality. If there is no marked improvement after the patch, that is a different subject and will most likely have an impact on a lot of subs.

I just think we need to be a little patient right now...

I'm looking forward to a huge improvement in performance and overall graphics ^^

:P :P :P

If you found too frustrating playing MO, try fishing feature

Cannot wait to try it my self.

i rather know if skill reset bug will be fixed soon.

FalloutRollout · 6th September 2010, 14:48

I didn't read anything in there about keep banks and vendors?!? I remember the playerbase demanding it.

Shad0w4life · 7th September 2010, 17:52

so with aim based magic now... are regs going to be much dmg drastically increased? seems a lot like an Archer that uses regs, hits for less, and more down time. almost seems like to differentiate them from archers they need utility and defence spells and make them melee using mana as armour or adding sow type spells with an Archer ability to pin them to ground with a special shot etc.
