Caliber - alexspets
0.20.1 will be the next update version. We are ready to share some details!

We have changed two settings that may have overloaded the system while playing with high graphics quality. Game performance will improve for “Medium”, “High” and “Ultra” graphics quality settings as well as for 4K screen resolution.

Users with less capable PCs will be able to use high-quality textures and enjoy decent-looking graffiti, cracks and scuffs without losing FPS.

Users with more capable PCs will be able to use high-quality local reflections without experiencing negative performance effects.



Ravenbound - platy
Greetings Vessels,

We’re back with another patch for Ravenbound! This patch lays down some important groundwork for addressing a few of the key issues we’ve seen discussed in our community spaces on Steam and Discord.

This patch is the first in a series of patches targeted at addressing the concerns in our community - we have more patches coming focused on some of the key points of concern among the community, along with constantly improving stability and fixing bugs. We expect the next of these patches next week.

Firstly, we wanted to address the difficulty spike introduced in the last patch and how this has affected the gameplay experience. In this patch, we’ve made some wide-reaching changes to enemy damage primarily targeted at bringing the game’s difficulty in line with our targets and making Tier 1 fights feel more balanced and accessible to players.

We’ve also implemented a Hatred tracker to help players better understand how accumulating Hatred affects Bosses & Elites as you progress. This is part of our mission to make the Hatred mechanic less nebulous and easier to understand and master.

We've received feedback about the difficulty in reading enemy attacks, particularly the Utlagi during Tier 1. In response, we've overhauled their attacks with a focus on improving readability, ensuring a more consistent combat experience when fighting these groups.

To better prepare players for the challenges they’ll face against the Wardens, we’ve based the revamped Utlagis attacks on those of the Wardens. We hope to create a smoother difficulty curve by giving extra opportunities to learn Warden attack patterns, while maintaining the challenge that Wardens pose.

We’ve also addressed the changes to Grey Health introduced in the previous patch. We’re mostly happy with the adjustments to Grey Health, but we’ve seen that it may be unbalanced in certain scenarios. By reducing incoming damage, we aim to make the game more forgiving.

Full details of all of these changes are listed below - read on to learn exactly what’s included in this update!



Hatred Tracking

We’ve added a hatred tracker to the Hand Screen to display how much more powerful Elites and Bosses have become in each run. This will update as you pick up more hatred in a run, and should make it easier to understand the tradeoff between power for you and powering up your opponents.

Utlagi have been updated

  • Each human Utlagi type now only features 1 Armor set each, but have been updated to stand out much more from each other
  • Utlagi attacks have been completely reworked to be based on the Wardens using the same type of attacks and weapons. This is intended to better prepare players for those tougher boss encounters.
  • Human Utlagi have been updated to make their attacks easier to read, and the weapon they wield should have a greater impact on how they engage with the player

Hatred Tier 1 Adjustments
While we want Ravenbound to provide a challenging experience, our goal is for the first difficulty level to be manageable. This should include a fair share of setbacks and deaths, but each defeat should serve as a learning opportunity, allowing players to come back stronger. Currently, the game's difficulty may prevent some players from even learning boss patterns. With these changes, we hope more players will experience progress, leading to deeper understanding and increasingly successful runs.

TL;DR - we’ve reduced damage from most enemies and bosses at Hatred Tier 1 by roughly 20% across the board.

Bug Fixes
We spent a lot of effort during this patch cycle on some systems behind the scenes that were causing issues across the board. While you likely won’t see a lot of that work immediately, it will set us up for a more stable experience in future as we continue to develop Ravenbound. This effort direction does mean that this list of bug fixes is shorter than we’d like, but we’re confident this decision will give us better results in the long term.

Tutorial
  • Resolved an issue where enemies bodies were invisible, with only their head and arms showing
  • Resolved an exploit where players could skip parts of the tutorial and remove the ability to drain cards
  • Resolved an issue where a tutorial enemy didn’t die after performing Guard Break, causing some players to be unable to progress the tutorial

Challenges
  • Resolved an issue where it was not possible to complete the seventh Fighter of Svali challenge due to a placeholder card

There are also numerous stability patches for various issues that were causing crashes. We can’t list all of these here, but we’ve addressed some of the high frequency issues, and we’ll continue to address more of these with each patch. If you do crash, please send in a report - they really do help!

Other Miscellaneous Changes
  • Improved Attack Telegraphs for regular Vittra, Draugr Shield and Sword, and Draugr Dual Axe
  • Enemies knocked down by Perfect Guard can now be Staggered while in that state.
  • Guard Health increased from 80 to 100
  • Energy Gained on Charged Attacks increased
  • Blacksmith prices increased by 12 Coins across the board
  • Increased the window for Primary Dodge Attack by 4 frames for Player Dual Sword

As we are in the phase of testing the main build, we decided to close the prologue and other demos since the version of the build in the demo is very old, and we have made massive changes since then.

The Classy Adventurers Guild is in a dire need of assistance! We have an important mission in the world of Ylands and we need every adventurer we can get to help us out! Anyone who hears the call of adventure, or the sea, or the mountains, or whatever you hear in the back of your head, you are the ONE to help with our crucial tasks.



Which tasks? Oh, you know, mapping distant ylands, slaying vicious beasts, preparing yummy meals, building castles and latrines, riding the waves and animals, discovering new materials and new technologies, looting a bunch (only the bad guys, of course), laughing at your friends' jokes and so on. This list is literally endless, just as all the stuff you can do with the C.A.G. in the world of Ylands. It's fun, so hop aboard!


How can I join C.A.G.?

What can you find on the payroll? Uh... good feeling, personal growth, new friends and a lot of new experiences. Sometimes dangerous situations, death in rare cases, but mostly FUN! Did we mention fun? Yea, you get that too, and a lot of it! Also, anything that you find along your journey, like gold, treasure, riches, or bananas.

⚔️Already an Adventurer?⚔️
Classy Adventurers Guild is proud to have its current members already on board - without you, C.A.G. would not be here today, opening its doors to new members. We have been following your feedback on the operations of and missions into the world of Ylands and we can say that it has been an absolute pleasure and we cannot wait to hear more!

Why delve into the world of Ylands now? What's new?
The world is vast and wonderful. There is something new around every corner. But this update specifically, C.A.G. is happy to announce that Ylands are getting:

Who is C.A.G. looking for?🔍
Adventurers of all kinds!

Are you curious? Are you human? Do you like to chill? Do you fancy having fun and gathering resources or getting creative with tools building ships and all sorts of structures? Are you keen on exploring new regions?


If you answered YES at least once, then this gig is TAILORED for you! And trust us, we don't hire just anyone...

Oh! And don't forget to bring your friends!


Seriously, we need all the help we can get. Show this posting to your mum, pals, coworkers, boss, dad, grandma, kids, pets and spread the word! Also, if you would be so nice, please leave us a review on Steam - not really sure what it means, but the instructions said it should be included in this advert so here it is.

Thank you and stay classy, fellow Adventurer! We can call you an Adventurer already, right? You are on board and joining the Guild guided by my exquisite advert, right?

We hope to meet you on board! ⛵
