Master 3.1.4.X Thread

Cross of Auria - twitch.tv/Hardytier

As I continue my playtest, it's becoming apparent that there will be several more patches rolled out over the next day or so. I obviously can't keep posting new announcements for every single one, so from now on, this thread will serve as the master list. Always check in game what version you're playing to know where you sit on this list and what might be different since last time you booted up.

Since I already have a thread housing all the information from 3.1.4.4 and before, this will serve for everything after that.

If you notice any issues with the game, this thread in addition to the usual places is where to post them. I'm tackling bugs hard this week!

Note: Each new build will serve as the "safezone" due to the nature of some of these fixes until we finally get a truly stable build going.
Note: Additions to this thread will be added to the bottom and will be marked with what time on what day they were added. With any luck, I won't have to make any more emergency build updates.

3.1.4.5 [Build #69, Release Date: April 21, 2020]
Fixes:
- Veil Chests no longer drop Deprecated Items.
- A chest in Frost Forest no longer drops Deprecated Items.
- Fixed an issue with unresponsive Orcs in Obscurite.
- Fixed vendor stock for the vendor in Frost Forest.
Changes:
- Minor terrain change to Auria/Castle Grounds East.
- Orcs in Frost Forest now trigger battle on contact.
- Some Orcs in Frost Forest now approach Ruby.
- Minor terrain changes to Frost Forest.
- Some Orcs in Obscurite now trigger battle on contact.
Enemy Skills:
- Soulfire I now costs 20 MP, down from 25 MP + 15 TP.

3.1.4.4.1 [Build #68-A, Release Date: April 20, 2020]
Changes:
- Revoked access to the unfinished Alpha Ruins Orc event which was accidentally added in 3.1.4.4.
-- Note: If you are still on this build, do not intentionally activate the event. It is unfinished and activating it early will result in enemies with no attacks and the game not knowing you've completed it once it's over. This is what happens when I have to drop an emergency patch while I'm working on something else >.>

Edit: 9:40PM APR 21
3.1.5.6 [Build #70, Release Date: April 21, 2020]
New:
- The An’ura Encampment now has it’s own theme!
Fixes:
- Fixed a transfer issue in Frost Forest.
- Added battlebacks for all Encampment subzones.
Changes:
- Bundle of Enchanted Wood is now a Key Item.
- More Orcs in Frost Forest now chase Ruby and trigger battle on contact.
- Battle Shout, Bulk Up, and Ferocious Shout now add 10 to Speed on use. (At the same level, these skills may occur before a basic Miles attack which is usually the fastest.)
- Arcane Missile now subtracts 5 from Speed on use. (Alternatively, a skill that takes away from speed may occur after characters who are usually slower.)
- Uppercut is now a Wind type attack.
- Blitz now additionally benefits from luck in the damage formula and is considered a Physical attack instead of non-elemental.
- Fury Strikes is now considered a Physical attack instead of non-elemental.
- Arcane Shock is now considered non-elemental instead of a “normal attack.”
- Poisonstrike now costs 5MP & 10TP, up from 1MP & 10TP.
Save Restrictions:
- Saving is now restricted in “Auria/Castle Grounds East” pending potentially major terrain changes in a future update.
Timelost Zones:
- The three sub-zones of Market Town have had their versions 1 and 2 collapsed. Players who saved inside the no longer used zones will see “Timelost Zone” now. It is no longer possible to enter the Timelost Zones. This change should restore progress to the Hephaes quest chain regardless of when it was completed and the Displaced Citizen questline. Some NPCs have been removed from these zones.
-- Note: It is possible to talk to the displaced citizens more than once until the end of the questline is triggered. Doing this should not impact the quest negatively.
An’ura Recon:
- Random encounters now occur in the Encampment.

Edit: 10:51PM APR 21
Known Issues:
- It is not currently possible to get to the "Lighthouse" to progress the Rabbit's Foot quest. This will be addressed in the next update.

Micro blog 2 - The mastery of side deals

Imperiums: Greek Wars - Kube Games

If you’ve ever watched a video on ancient Greek history, you’ll know that the Greeks were constantly at each other’s throats. Fragile coalitions were made, just to be broken when the other side proved to be stronger or promised a better share of the loot.

Perhaps the key question is, how to keep the third parties out of your way and yet use them to reach your goals?

In Imperiums: Greek Wars the Greek world is tightly knit, often a war between two states can start a chain reaction. Do you have a strategic ally who you need in a war against a common enemy? Only to find them too stretched to assist because they have a second front with a petty city-state on another border?

Use your position to send a kind request to the leaders of the city-state warmongers, asking them to sign a peace treaty with your strategic ally. If they consent, you untie the hands of your coalition partner and earn their gratitude, this also counts! If they refuse, turn the tide against them by sending envoys to their neighbouring states asking them to declare war on the city-state. That will teach them not to play tough with you.

Using these third party requests you can play one opponent off against another and with a bit of foresight you can sail through the intrigues and shaky political deals with a following wind.

Perhaps a little warning here though, the AI is very competent and can use the same techniques against you. You simply need to be smarter than it :)

Community Challenge Update

Warhammer: Vermintide 2 - [Fatshark] Hedge

The Community Challenge is still ongoing and you can still join - it will be running until April 30th. With this challenge we wish to invite you as a community to come together and help the Reikland.

So far your combined efforts have accumulated a staggering total 155,947,217 enemies defeated! It's horribly impressive.

We just set the Tzeentchian Twins Weekly Event live, which for those who can handle it is a great way to bloat the stats! In this event enemies you dispatch will materialise in to two lesser enemies, and so on, until you're left with chaff to kill. You can find this on the mission screeen in the Keep (press M).

Play Apart Together.

Fill the bar by defeating Skaven, Rotblood, and Beastmen in Warhammer: Vermintide 2 and be rewarded with a new portrait frame.

Crown of Purity
We recently updated the event page on our website with news of which charity the proceeds for all sales of the 'Crown of Purity' will be donated to, and you can find out more about that here:
