Greetings Exiles!

We’re excited to bring to you a new Testlive patch that introduces a long-requested feature, the Followers Management system! From a new tab in your player menu you’ll now be able to get information and manage your followers at a glance, adding a few new QoL improvements as well.



This is the first iteration of our next content patch. We’ve listened to your feedback and we agree that Testlive should be a meaningful platform for a long-term improvement of the game. This is why we’ve decided to put this patch first in your hands so you can help us detect, improve on issues and shape the experience before we release it officially on all platforms.

We are also introducing a new feature, the Funcom Launcher. The idea is for this to be a platform where you will have easy access to the latest news, forums, DLCs and patch notes, without increasing the time it takes for you to enter the game. You can read more about it in this separate thread, where we’ll be collecting all your constructive feedback about this new feature.

Don’t hesitate to give this patch a try and let us know of any issues you might find so we can fix and improve on them during the upcoming weeks.

Thanks again for your ongoing support and feedback.

Please remember that updates can mess with your installed mods. We suggest taking a backup of your current database before updating to any new patch if you have mods installed.




With great power comes great responsibility! Following up on our follower leveling system, we’re introducing the Follower Management System. From this screen you’ll have at a glance an overview over your army of followers, giving you extra control even from a distance! You can access it from a new tab in the player menu. From this new screen you will be able to…




If you have the population enabled in your server or single player game, you will be able to check your current quota of followers as well as the maximum you’re allowed based on the server settings. Quick and easy!




From the management screen you can now break bonds with those followers you’re no longer interested in keeping. Just click on them and select “Break Bond” from the menu. Much easier than having to deal with the emotional trauma of doing it face to face!
We have also added a new extra functionality! Tired of those pesky followers who chose to disappear in the middle of the night? You can now recall them to your position (as long as you’re within your claim) to keep them under control! However, this power comes with a few caveats. First, when they get rescued, they will lose their inventory and equipment. After you have used recall, you (or your clan) won’t be able to use it again for a certain period of time (cooldown), and those followers who were engaged in combat recently will not be able to be recalled until a certain time has passed. Best of all, both timers are customizable! (via ini edit at the moment)





Similar to the current feature where you can see your fellow clan mates in the map, you can now also keep an overview on where your followers are at any moment. Off by default, you can select which one of your thralls or pets you want to see located in the map. No more hide and seek!




The next time you log in to Conan Exiles via the TestLive client on Steam, you will be greeted by a new launcher window. We encourage you to try it and report any issues you encounter, as well as provide suggestions you may have for further improvements, on this separate thread.

We heard your input regarding the inconvenience with having to switch back and forth between the main game and our TestLive servers. To make it easier for you and because we really value your testing and feedback, we added a separate product for the TestLive server on Steam.

If you own Conan Exiles on Steam, you should now see a separate Product called “Conan Exiles - Testlive Client” in your library which gives you the option to install an additional instance of the game specifically for the TestLive servers. Please be aware that this will prompt you for a full additional installation.

We are aware that not everyone wants install or has space for two full installations. For those of you who don’t want to play through the additional TestLive Client, you can still access the TestLive servers through our old method.

Greetings Exiles!

The time has come! Saddle up and ride into all the goodness packed into our newest free content update! We couldn’t let this year go without a bang. As a thank you to all of you for your amazing support since the game launched, we’re bringing the most anticipated and long requested feature since the early days of the game! Coconut clapping Mounts!



From a foal to a majestic and loyal War horse, you can breed and train your trusty steed and ride into battle (or where adventure calls you) with the new Mount system. Not only you can use your horse for faster traveling, but you’ll also be able to engage in combat with many single-hand weapons, bows and a new weapon archetype: Lances!

And what better complement to this new feature than the new Follower Leveling System? That’s right! You can now level up and perk up any companion you bring with you as a follower -be it a Thrall, pet or your new mount. You can read all about it in our recent write-up. As a huge thank you for all your dedicated support, we’ve also squeezed in the possibility to rename your own thralls, so they can be more unique to you and reflect the time and effort spent in training them.

We have also continued our work in balancing and overhauling more aspects of the combat system in the game. We spent some time bringing improvements to the dodging mechanic, which along with a new momentum-based player movement focuses on a fighter’s commitment to their actions, raising the skill ceiling during fighting situations. We have also overhauled the trebuchet, as well as a myriad of tweaks and balancing to weapons and fighting situations we’d love to hear your feedback about.

And of course, we’ve packed in tons of other general bugfixes, QoL improvements and refinements based on player feedback you’ve been sending us.
We can’t wait to let you give this new update a try before its official release so you can share your opinion, thoughts and suggestions with us in the comments below and our Testlive forum section.

Thank you all for being the best community this side of the Exiled Lands!

Please remember that updates can mess with your installed mods. We suggest taking a backup of your current database before updating to any new patch if you have mods installed.



Mounts and mounted combat!

Ride your trusty steed right into battle with the new mount system, supporting mounted combat with a variety of weapons, including a new weapon archetype, Lances! Charging into your foes now feels… joust right.



New Follower Leveling System!

Level your followers (thralls, pets… even mounts!) through combat in the same fashion that you do as a player. Leveling a Follower grants them stat-points that are automatically distributed through a weighted system, and these stats grant various bonuses. You can read more about it in our detailed announcement.
And as an added bonus and huge thanks to our community, we’ve squeezed in an oft-requested feature: you can now rename your thralls, to make them more unique and personal.



Additional combat refinements: Trebuchet, dodging and momentum-based movement!

We heard your input regarding the inconvenience with having to switch back and forth between the main game and our TestLive servers. To make it easier for you and because we really value your testing and feedback, we added a separate product for the TestLive server on Steam.

If you own Conan Exiles on Steam, you should now see a separate Product called “Conan Exiles - Testlive Client” in your library which gives you the option to install an additional instance of the game specifically for the TestLive servers. Please be aware that this will prompt you for a full additional installation.

We are aware that not everyone wants install or has space for two full installations. For those of you who don’t want to play through the additional TestLive Client, you can still access the TestLive servers through our old method.

Greetings exiles!

We're back with another Testlive patch, full of new and juicy mechanics and features for your to check out. This is a preview of what's coming in Update 37, which we also highlighted in our latest dev stream.

There's also a huge amount of fixes to various bugs and issues to be found in this update, in addition to some known issues that will be fixed ASAP.

Thank you once again to our incredible community for your amazing support with Conan Exiles.


Please remember that updates can mess with your installed mods. We suggest taking a backup of your current database before updating to any new patch if you have mods installed.





The new Battle Standard placeable will allow you to establish a PvP zone on PvE servers. This is perfect for players on passive servers who sometimes want to engage in combat without the risk of losing everything.

Anyone who steps inside a Battle Standard's area of effect will be eligible to engage in PvP combat. Activating PvP is completely optional, so people can’t grief you by suddenly plonking down a Battle Standard and gunning for a fight.

You’ll also get to keep your inventory if you die inside a Battle Standard’s area of influence, so the PvP combat is fairly risk free.



With this update we’re introducing two new weapon types to Conan Exiles: Short Swords and Two-handed Great Axes. Of course, they come with their own combos and animations.

The axes work like a fusion between the warhammers and dual wielding axes. With this in your arsenal you can spin around like a top, causing a lot of damage over a large area. Be careful so you don’t run out of stamina though, which will leave you vulnerable.



Short swords are a faster alternative to regular broadswords and will let you perform simple stab and slash combos until you run out of stamina. They’re meant to be used against single enemies as the stab and swing have a very narrow radius.




In Update 37, we’re changing the combat animations for the Longsword, Great Sword and Pike weapon types. They won’t behave radically different to how they used to, but you will notice a few differences.

Here are the changes we’ve made:

• Longswords have been made more refined, by giving them a longer “linger window” between each attack, and a new finishing animation in the Heavy attack combo chain. Instead of a leap forward, the finishing move is now a simple horizontal forward slash. The new finisher has less range, but there’s less chance of overextending and going past your enemy.
  
• 
  
• Great Swords have been tuned to be more effective against crowds. The overhead smash attack can now be found on the CTRL key (meaning we’ve removed the kick for this weapon), and the opening of a Heavy attack combo is now a big, 180 degree, horizontal slash. The full set of heavy attacks damages a wide area and can be quite effective when surrounded by several enemies.
  
• 
  
• The two-handed Pikes are probably getting the biggest change of the bunch. It’s no longer a crowd control weapon and has been reworked into a weapon that’s more effective in close quarters against a single enemy. The light attack combo chain is now a series of poke attacks like the heavy attacks. The difference is that the light attacks will plant your feet instead of pushing you forward.

Test them out, see how you like it, and let us know how it works in the comments below!


We are expanding the ways you can modify your weapons and armor with the addition of weapon oils. These are more powerful versions of the already existing mod kits, with the drawback that the boosts they provide are time limited. The oil will also severely drain the durability of whatever it’s applied to once the timer has run out.

The “Weapon Oils” feat can be purchased from the Archivist in the Unnamed City for 5 Fragments of Power. Oils are crafted at the Firebowl Cauldron. Only one can be active at a time and applying a new kit or oil will override the current effect.

• Oil of Damage – Either increases weapon damage by 10% permanently or increases weapon damage by 25% temporarily
  
• Oil of Penetration – Increases weapon armor penetration
  
• Oil of Harvest – Increases amount of resources obtained per swing of a harvesting tool.
  
• Oil of Concussion – Increases concussion damage on a weapon
  
• Oil of Balance – Decreases a weapon’s Stamina cost per attack

We’re also introducing new Master level weapon fittings and kits, which come with great boons, but also severe drawbacks. These can be learned by unlocking the Grandmaster Armorsmith and Grandmaster Weaponsmith feats in a certain dungeon.

Hey folks! We have a new patch out for the Testlive branch with several Purge and UI fixes, as well as several quality of life improvements.


New and Improved VOIPWith this Testlive patch we're rolling out our new and improved VOIP system, which should make using in-game voice chat significantly better. We hope our roleplaying community enjoys these improvements. Please test this new feature and provide us with as much detailed feedback as you can.

If you have distortion issues when talking with other players then reduce "Voice Chat" setting in audio settings to less than 80%".

Unnamed City Revamp

As detailed during our previous Conan Exiles stream, we're revamping the Unnamed City area to provide more loot and more challenge to players. This includes adding in 8 new named bosses, several minibosses, legendary armor pieces, new legendary weapons.

Bosses in the Unnamed City will also drop Fragments of Power, special items you can exchange somewhere in the Unnamed City.

The idea is to make the Unnamed City more challenging and enjoyable to play, and to give players a reason to travel to the city for loot and other goodies.

• First selecting "Female" at character creation and then slecting "Head Options", "Face Details" or "Finalize Character" might move the camera past the player avatar, making it impossible to see your character
• Selecting "Male" at character creation might render your avatar invisible when browsing the "Face", "Hair" and "Facial Hair" options.
• The new special health-bars have a lower vertical offset than intended.
• VoIP from other players can sound distorted unless you set your Voice chat and/or master volume to 80% or less

• New Crafting station : Dismantling bench. This bench allows you to dismantle placeables, building pieces, weapons and armors
• For modders - there is now new configurators for CraftingQueue components: CraftTimeMultiplier and CraftResultMultiplier. CraftTimeMultiplier allows you control base crafting-time per station instead of/in addition to thralls. CraftResultMultiplier multiplies the output of the crafting stations (as the name implies)
• Added user interface to let players rate servers. This is currently non-functional, but will be activated in a future patch.
• A tombstone appears now on your death, marking the spot in which you died and making it easier to retrieve your inventory.

• Fixed an issue where the Purge meter would not fill if the player has no buildings, causing confusion

Hey folks!

We have a new update to the Testlive Branch with a number of fixes and quality of life updates. We've added some new types of Purge, a new world boss, done several balancing passes on NPCs and crafting costs.

We have a public bug tracking board here! You can check this to track the issues that get brought up by the community the most. In the "For prioritization" column you can vote for the issues you would like us to prioritize and we will make sure it gets moved into development asap. You can read the full details on how it works on the forum post here.

We heard your input regarding the inconvenience with having to switch back and forth between the main game and our TestLive servers. To make it easier for you and because we really value your testing and feedback, we added a separate product for the TestLive server on Steam.

If you own Conan Exiles on Steam, you should now see a separate Product called "Conan Exiles - Testlive Client" in your library which gives you the option to install an additional instance of the game specifically for the TestLive servers. Please be aware that this will prompt you for a full additional installation.

We are aware that not everyone wants install or has space for two full installations. For those of you who don't want to play through the additional TestLive Client, you can still access the TestLive servers through our old method.

Hear ye, hear ye! We have another Testlive build ready to go, hot off the presses!

This is a pretty huge patch that comes with a multitude of fixes, but the most important things in this patch are the Purge fixes and the building optimizations. The Purge should now attack more reliably, and Purge NPCs should no longer be naked when attacking you. Buildings should also load in significantly faster than before, which should cause better performance for the server.

Additionally, we've done a major balancing overhaul to the game, increasing the amount of XP you get from crafting and from killing enemies as well as tweaking rewards. This balancing is an ongoing project but we are very interested to hear your feedback on the changes present on Testlive so far.

Finally, we have gone over the map with a fine tooth comb in an attempt to find, and block, areas where players have been able to access areas beneath the ground mesh.

If you want to test this build, here's how to access Testlive.

Please remember that updates can mess with your installed mods. We suggest taking a backup of your current database before updating to any new patch if you have mods installed.


Major Balancing Overhaul (more details below)

• Human NPC progression across the factions has been increased in difficulty.
• Human T4 Loot-pools have been adjusted to provide better rewards
• Monster/Animal difficulty curve has been adjusted to better conform with the intended difficulty-bands. Certain monsters are more challenging to fight
• Many animals and monsters may now spawn as "Elite" versions of themselves
• NPC equipment has been adjusted
• Crafting and killing gives more experience points overall
• See below for more details

Roleplaying Updates

• Players can now write their own biography for their characters in the STATS/ tab. There is an option to make the biography public, private or clan-only. You can find this setting under the GAMEPLAY/ heading. Please not that you currently cannot change Biography Access option. This will be fixed in the future.
• After placing the "Note" item, it's now possible to actually write on them. Picking up the note again will remove any text written on it.
• New Feat: Boneshaper - this feat allows the crafting of dice that function in the same way as the /Dice chat command. The stack of dice determine how many dice are rolled. Dice come in 4,6,8,10,12 and 20 sided variants
• You can now see where your fellow clan-members are on the map!

Building Optimizations

• We have been working on improving the loading times and general optimizations for buildings. Conan Exiles doesn’t have any limits for how big you can build and we want you to put these changes through their paces. Please note that this is for structural buildings only, and not placeables such as torches, campfires, crafting stations and doors.
• Loading buildings has gone from this:
  
  
• To this:
  

Purge Fixes

• The Purge is an important aspect of the game's PvE content. While it's been working on a technical level, it hasn't hit the mark from a gameplay perspective and has been confusing a lot of players. We have rewritten several parts of the Purge to improve the core mechanics and make it a more reliable threat.
• The Purge should now happen more reliably and Purge enemies should no longer be naked. The Purge meter should fill as intended. You should also reliably be able to knock out NPCs and not halt the Purge in its tracks.

Picking Up Crafting Stations

• It's now possible to return crafting stations to your inventory through the radial-menu. This change does not affect Altars, Wheels of Pain or Animal Pens. If there are items in the crafting station inventory, those items will appear in a loot bag on the ground. In the future we aim to make it so the inventory is automatically transferred to your inventory

• Updated the Purge to be more reliable
• Building Optimizations
• Exploit fixes to prevent Undermeshing
• You can now see where your fellow clan-members are on the map!
• T2 and T3 building pieces now yield XP as intended

• Please not that you currently cannot change Biography Access option. This will be fixed in the future
• Inventory slots can remain highlighted even when they are not selected. If you re-select them in the inventory this goes away.

• Fixed a server crash

• Fixed a number of locations where it was possible to gain access to the area under the world in order to build unassailable bases (Undermeshing fixes) - Please report any locations we may have missed
• The Thrall Pot has had it's placement checkbox increased to more accurately reflect its size to prevent placing it on top of players/self and get stuck. This should also prevent players from getting beneath the ground mesh
• NPCs that are not thralls do not consume thrown weapons anymore and you cannot loot the weapons they throw

• Players can now write their own biography for their characters in the STATS/ tab. There is an option to make the biography public, private or clan-only. You can find this setting under the GAMEPLAY/ heading
• After placing the "Note" item, it's now possible to actually write on them. Picking up the note again will remove any text written on it.
• New Feat: Boneshaper - this feat allows the crafting of dice that function in the same way as the /Dice chat command. The stack of dice determine how many dice are rolled. Dice come in 4,6,8,10,12 and 20 sided variants
• You can now see where your fellow clan-members are on the map!
• It's now possible to return crafting stations to your inventory through the radial-menu. This change does not affect Altars, Wheels of Pain or Animal Pens. If there are items in the crafting station inventory, those items will appear in a loot bag on the ground. In the future we aim to make it so the inventory is automatically transferred to your inventory

• Yamatai fences now prevents climbing, as intended
• All placeables now have a minimum building score of 1 instead of 0 - this change will increase the decay-timer for smaller bases and thus the time it takes for them to decay. A consequence of this is that having a large amount of placeables might make you eligible to be attacked by a Purge at a faster rate.
• Almost all placeables can now be tilted/rotated to fit the landscape for easy placement

• Crafting speed bonus progression for thralls has been adjusted. Firstly, Alchemists now progress correctly in crafting bonuses. Also, all purge thralls now craft items much faster than before. The high-end bonus time multiplier is 4x crafting speed
• Alchemists now have a "Fill flask" recipe available to them when placed in the Firebowl Cauldron. This is a quick 1 second recipe that allows quick filling of crafted waterflasks to help with the crafting of items that require such filled waterflasks (Dyes, etc)
• Fixed an issue where certain recipes were missing for Werk of the Lost Tribe and Njoror Battleborn armorers
• Fixed an issue where XP would not be granted when crafting items from the radial menu
• Crafting T2 and T3 building pieces will now yield XP as intended.

• Fixed an issue with the Rocknose King hitbox that made hitting it with arrows difficult
• Gorillas now apply "Sunder" with their attacks
• Removed the taunt animation from the pet Hyenas, Shalebacks and Rocknoses in order to make them more reliable during combat
• Added the venom spray attacks to Sand Reaper pets to boost their usefulness in combat
• Serpentmen Brutes should now deal damage correctly
• Hits against a character should no longer briefly display the non-combat button layout legend

• It should now be possible to swim with captured thralls. Doing so will make them float.
• Thralls should now be able to use throwing axes correctly
• Fixed an issue in the spawn table (Shout-outs to Alex02 on the forums) where Rokur and * Marn had incorrectly been set up and would not spawn as intended.
• Fixed an issue where archers did not exit combat properly and their AI got stuck
• Taskmasters are now more instantly recognizable from the equipment they wear (Hyperborean slaver outfit pieces). Dancers are also now generally wearing either the Stygian or Zamorian dancer outfits
• Combo rule sets have now been set up for NPCs. Tier 1-2 (and Bearers) are considered novices and do not use optimal combos, while Tier 3-4 NPCs will be more efficient at using attack-combinations, including offhand attacks. What this effectively means is that human melee-oriented NPCs should now attempt to use real combos instead of randomizing their attacks.
• Removed the threaten animation from Grey Apes, as it would cause them to get stuck
• Fixed an issue where certain pet rhinos could not attack
• Pets and thralls should now smoothly follow the player as opposed to "run-stop-run"
• Thralls that are set to follow players should no longer teleport like crazy when they cannot reach you. They still will attempt to teleport but now there is a reasonable delay between each attempt.
• Thrall items now go into the thrall slot when shift-clicking them in a crafting station
• Fixed an issue that allowed expanding thrall inventories

• Fixed an issue where the Sixth wave of Frost Giant purges referenced itself as the next wave to start
• Knocking out an NPC from a purge will no longer halt the purge - instead, it is treated as if the NPC had been killed.
• Human NPCs spawned through the purge system no longer spawn naked
• Fixed an issue with the purge that would prevent it from spawning for certain building configurations. The purge should now happen more reliably.

• Increased the hitpoints for the Rocknose King boss
• Adjusted hitpoints of Tier 3 and Tier 4 thralls to match the rebalance of NPC damage output and hitpoints
• NPC Bearers are now better capable of defending themselves (not as well as fighters though) as their stats have been slightly adjusted. They have slightly more hitpoints and do slightly more damage when attacking
• Obsidian Skinning Knife now harvests more skins (it erroneously had the same harvest-rate as steel skinning knives)
• Named NPCs now do increased damage, have more hitpoints and yield more XP when killed (balancing change)
• Yog Cleaver, Mitraen Ankh and Setite Ritual Knife have had their damage and armor pen lowered to reflect other religious tooks of the same rank
• Epic bows now offer a slight increase in damage as their quality is raised from normal to exceptional to flawless
• XP curve for crafting has been adjusted - in general, crafting should now yield XP properly
• Lemurian and Reptilian armor now grants a total bonus of +9 between the dual stats of the armors as intended (it gave out too much earlier)
• Reduced armor for medium armor by about 6% as it was too close to Heavy armor in performance
• Significantly increased XP from killing monsters and animals
• Slightly increased bow damage across the board
• Reduced damage for the 2h Spears' first two heavy attacks, and increased damage for the two last attacks. This was done to increase reward for committing to full combos using the right-hand attack while still retaining the utility of the spears long range poke-ability. We want to make the spear useful and not nerf it completely #babysteps
• Reduced the weight of heavy armors by 10%
• Human NPC-progression across the factions has been increased in difficulty-range. The hitpoints, armor and damage output of the NPCs have been adjusted for this. Very small adjustments have been made to the Exiles factions, but Darfari factions and upwards have been scaled up to match the challenge levels intended for them (20, 30, 40, 50, 60+). These changes also affect the base stats of thralls from the factions being captured, giving players an incentive for getting the best fighters/archers/etc.
• Human T4 Loot-pools have been adjusted to provide better loot-rewards - in particular for higher-level enemies in the Highlands.
• Monsters/Animal difficulty curve has been adjusted to better conform with the intended difficulty-bands. In general this has made certain monsters much more interesting and challenging to fight. Most monsters have gotten increased damage, hitpoints and/or special features to their attacks. Some of them are also now immune to knockback since it trivialized combat with them (Ostrich, Were-hyena, Bear, Imp King, Witch Queen, every Undead creature).
• Many (but not all) Animals and monsters may now spawn as "Elite" versions of themselves. There is a 2% chance that this happens for every spawn point these monsters have. These elite monsters and animals are bigger, tougher, looks different and drops additional loot - with a guaranteed drop rate of Demon-blood, a key ingredient for high-end crafting.
• Equipment for NPCs have been adjusted, most notably for crafter-NPCs that were previously using very low-level default weapons, such as the Iron Dagger or Iron Mace. Now they're using more level appropriate weaponry. In addition, crafters and taskmasters are now using specific armor-setups (aprons and worker gloves) to make them easier to distinguish in camps.
• Various issues with certain (Rare) thralls not spawning has been addressed
• XP from monsters have been increased significantly, since they are now harder to defeat. XP from killing T4 humans is also greatly increased.
• Added 15% armor penetration to the Reaver's Axe, to match it's actual description

• Spiced Pork and Spiced Exquisite Meat now grant "Warming Up" buff

• Explosive traps now follow the same placement distance rules as Vapor Traps, meaning that they can no longer be placed very close to each other
• Wall Torches can no longer be placed under water. This only affects Wall Torches that have flames. Torches with glow stones are not affected.
• Red and Green dragons now also drop Dragonhorn
• It's now possible to return crafting stations to your inventory through the radial-menu. This change does not affect Altars, Wheels of Pain or Animal Pens. If there are items in the crafting station inventory, those items will appear in a loot bag on the ground. In the future we aim to make it so the inventory is automatically transferred to your inventory
• Hardened Steel Javelin, Hardened Steel Dagger and Hardened Steel Bow now have the correct feat-unlock requirements

We are aware that not everyone wants install or has space for two full installations. For those of you who don't want to play through the additional TestLive Client, you can still access the TestLive servers through our old method.

Hello Exiles!

We have a new juicy TestLive patch for you. Besides a whole lot of fixes we also have a few new, exciting mechanics for you to test out.

Bows have gotten faster and more deadly! We recently added a selection of new advanced (and deadly) arrows and now we are happy to finally roll out a new feature set for the Bow.

• The bow light attack combo is gone and has been replaced by a single fast shot with minimal after-shot recovery.
• The heavy attack has been revamped and is now a charge-able aimed shot. Hold down Heavy Attack and then press Light Attack to shoot.
• Holding down the Heavy Attack button increases the damage of the shot and if you hold it for long enough, the shot turns into a Power Shot with a flatter trajectory that is perfect for snipe shots!

We’ve done a number of balance tweaks to arrows in order to increase the usability of specialty arrows and taper the power/cost ratio of some specific arrow types:

• High tier arrows now do more damage. This affects Razor, Hardened Steel and Star Metal arrows.
• Snake and Light Arrows now do minimal physical damage. Snake arrows poison damage remains unaffected.
• Light Arrows are now much cheaper to make. They require no feathers anymore and a single craft makes a stack of 10 arrows.
• Healing Arrows are now much cheaper to make. They require Water Orbs instead of Dragonpowder.
• Gas Arrows are now more expensive to make. They now require a Gas Orb instead of Ichor.
• All specialty arrows are now much five times lighter!

We have improved all jumping animations, including new take-offs, falling and landing animations that depend on the length of the fall.

Lots of improvements coming in for throwing weapons with an aim to establish them as a very strong Cripple and damage option for short and mid ranges.

• All throwing weapons can now be recovered! If you hit another player or NPC with your axe or javelin, the weapon will end up in the target’s inventory. If you miss and hit a surface instead, the weapon will be pickup-able by interacting with it.
• All throwing weapons will cripple regardless of the body part hit.
• All throwing weapons do not aim compensate for distance to the target. This system was making throws unpredictable and we have decided to remove it. Throwing weapons will still aim at the center of the target if you are target locking, but they won’t compensate for other types of shots. This means that you can land your shots more reliable in situations where you’re prediction your target’s movement or throwing before your target shows out from behind cover/corners/battlements.
• Throwing axes now stack to 10 and never break!
• Throwing axe throws now recover faster!
• Throwing axe throws can be used as a wildcard replacement for any combo step. If you’re wielding a throwing axe, you can simply throw instead of attacking without losing your combo count. This means you can do stuff like Light -> Light -> Throw -> Heavy Finisher. Enjoy!
• Throwing axes have a new flight effect.

We have introduced a new weapon type to the game. An ancient type of curved sword from the remote land of Yamatai: the Katana.

Katanas are two-handed swords with an entirely new and unique moveset. Their damage sits comfortably between spears and hammers with an armor penetration equivalent to that of the greatswords.

Katanas sport a range of unique features:

• The katana light attack combo is frontal set of attacks with a fair amount of forwards motion. The light attack finisher does damage equivalent to the heavy finisher of other weapons and applies bleed.
• The first light attack comes out very fast.
• Katanas do not have a heavy combo. Instead they can be charged with the Heavy Attack button in a special stance that leads into a very quick dash-attack. This dash-attack does more damage the longer the Heavy Button is held and is released by pressing the Light Attack button while in the special stance.
• Katana dash-attack goes through targets, ignoring collision. It’s a powerful tool to escape tight situations, even when not fully charged.
• Katana dash-attacks can be used as a wildcard replacement for any combo step. This means you can use it as an opener, a link or a finisher and combine it freely with any of the light attacks.

Care for a game of dice? Well now you can! Get your friends together for a little gambling:

• Chat input: /roll a b where a is the lowest number and b is the highest
  Example: /roll 1 100

This will produce an output in the local chat (meaning, other players should see the result as well) reading “[Playername] rolled a 4 (1-100)” where the 4 here is the actual result and the 1-100 is the min/max value

• Chat input: /dice a b where a is number of dice and b is number of sides of the dice
  Example: /dice 2 6

This willproduce an output in the local chat reading “[Playername] rolled a 7 (2d6)” where 7 here is the actual result, and the 2d6 means “two six-sided dice”

You will now get a popup on your screen when you enter the area of another player, informing you who owns the area and structures placed.
You are able to toggle this feature on and off in the settings.
