Steam Deck - Lawrence
Note: This update is for the Steam Deck Beta and Preview channels, and includes new features that are still being tested. You can opt into this in Settings > System > Steam Update Channel.

Note: This update was re-released to fix the "Automatically Set Resolution" toggle from incorrectly showing when not on the Preview Channel.

It's been great to see all the community activity around custom boot videos, so we made a couple updates to make this a bit easier to do. The new folder location below will be a safer place to save your video files, and they won't be wiped with every Steam update.

Custom boot videos
  • Steam Deck will now look for a custom boot video and/or a suspend animation in steamui/overrides/movies/. Please note that you'll need to create this folder first.
  • Play custom boot animations in full screen
General
  • Fixed issue with startup haptics
Resolution: applies to Preview Channel only
  • Added a toggle allowing Steam Deck to automatically control the display resolution for external displays. When toggled on, Steam Deck will automatically adjust the resolution for best performance on higher resolution displays.

Lost Ark - HardcoreHenry
Heroes of Arkesia,

The Rage with the Machinist Update recently released a ton of new content in Arkesia with the Machinist Advanced Class, Kakul-Saydon Legion Raid, and new progression events— but we know players are eager to learn what’s arriving in the coming months, so let’s dive in. There are two main stories being told over the next three months as we look to close out 2022:
  • The next few months mark the road to the Brelshaza Legion Raid— one of the most challenging, unique, and beautifully dangerous raids in all of Lost Ark. As we head toward the climactic battle against the Phantom Legion Commander, new raids will be added in October for the heroes in Arkesia to hone their teamwork, skills, and ability to overcome unique mechanics, and new progression events to provide upgrade materials and progression opportunities. December will bring Brelshaza alongside a host of other content to end the year with a bang!
  • The release of both the Reaper and Summoner Advanced Classes over the next three months conclude our plan of releasing the first 21 Advanced Classes before other new (or future) classes are added and give new opportunities for players to fill out their rosters with their favorite playstyles.
The content and updates found below are some of the highlights we know players are eagerly awaiting, and is not a comprehensive list of every change arriving in Arkesia over the next few months. Stay tuned to our website and social channels for future release notes including the full list of new content, cosmetics, balance changes, events, bug-fixes, and more included in these updates.

October
New Event: Mystic Abyss Raid


The Guardian Mystic, formerly known as the Herald of Vairgrys and the Ark Carrier, has begun to cast dangerous mists from the permeated chaos and must be vanquished in this new, limited-time Abyss Raid. During the Abyss Raid event, 'Scale of Harmony' is applied, changing character stats to match the Guardian's level. Item Level 1302 or higher is required to battle Mystic, and an abundance of weekly rewards await those who rise to the challenge.

Vykas Legion Raid - Inferno Difficulty


The most difficult version of Legion Raids, the Inferno difficulty is all about proving you’re among the best of the best in Arkesia, and earning prestige. Rather than chasing the normal rewards of gear, materials, and everything else you’d receive in a Legion Raid, Inferno rewards instead showcase your victory with titles, achievements, Stronghold structures, and more! ‘Scale of Balance’ is applied, and the raid requires use of the Book of Coordination, so everyone’s gear is normalized against the level of your Legion Commander opponent. Entry into the Vykas Legion Raid Inferno difficulty will require Item Level 1460.

Achates Trial Guardian


A challenging experience akin to the Inferno difficulty of Legion Raids, the Achates Trial Guardian Raid can only be entered after setting up your build through the 'Book of Coordination'. If defeated, prestigious rewards of achievements and a Legendary Title will be earned by the vanquishing party to award prestige and celebrate their hard-fought victory.

Other Key Content

These 3 Raids aren’t the only thing arriving in October— players in San Diego can join us at Twitchcon (more details to come), and those in Arkesia can look forward to Arkpass Season 2, Neria’s Wardrobe Halloween Edition, the continuation of the September progression events, and Competitive Proving Grounds Season 2 will kick off at the end of the month!

November
Reaper Advanced Class


Reapers are true Assassins, and masters of stealth. From powerful back-attacks inflicted by their daggers to misleading opponents by vanishing and summoning clones, Reapers have a variety of tools at their disposal to vanquish whatever threat crosses their path.

Other Key Content
Tripod Transfer System Improvements which guarantee the transfer Tripods through a new “Amulet” material used for applying Skill Tripods, bring new notification improvements, Skill tree guide quest improvements, and add a Skill Tree Transfer mission in the 'Training Area'.

Balance Update including:
  • Changes to the Legion Raid Hallucination Gear Set Effect
  • Class balance updates to the Berserker, Destroyer, Scrapper, Soulfist, Glaivier, Artillerist, Sharpshooter, Gunslinger, Machinist, and Arcanist.
Stronghold Improvements, such as Interior decorations, a new Trophy System & Trophy Room, Gifting, the ability to place mounts & pets, Structure placement updates, new Jukebox music, HUD improvements and new mini-games.

The Mystic Abyss Raid Event will continue in the beginning of the month for players to continue to build their raid skills and earn valuable rewards as they push toward the slew of threats arriving in December, alongside a special progression event.


December
Summoner Advanced Class


Despite their delicate constitution, Summoners are a force to be reckoned with in any battle. They call forth elemental spirits to fight for them, each with their own special skills to help the Summoner shine in every situation. With a powerful variety of water, lightning, earth, and more unique attacks, the Summoner is a welcome addition to the roster of available Mage Advanced Classes.

Brelshaza Legion Raid (Phantom Astalgia: Déjà Vu & Normal Difficulty)


Face Brelshaza, Commander of the Phantom Legion in an immersive and challenging 8-player Legion Raid spanning 6 unique gates and encounters. The most cunning and ruthless of all the Legion Commanders, she is known to charm her enemies and inflict them with awful hallucinations. With so many encounters, the gates work differently and the Item Level requirements rise every two gates. Similar to the “Midnight Circus: Encore” difficulty of the Kakul-Saydon Legion Raid, an easier difficulty is available for players to practice the difficult encounters and mechanics.
  • Phantom Astalgia: Déjà Vu - Item Level 1430
  • Gates 1 & 2 - Item Level 1490
  • Gates 3 & 4 - Item Level 1500
  • Gates 5 & 6 - Item Level 1520
Caliligos Guardian Raid


Caliligos is the master of lightning, commanding blue lightning to bring his enemies to their knees. His wings are as swift as wind, and the power of blue thunderbolts concentrate in his horn, sharper than any spears, to pierce the hearts of his enemies. As a ruler of the skies, he was worshipped in the past as a god. But Caliligos is no god— he’s a cruel ruler of the sky and a ruthless guardian. Caliligos will join the gauntlet of Level 6 Guardians. The Item Level requirement to challenge Caliligos is 1490.

Other Key Content
The new content doesn’t stop with the new raids and a new Advanced Class! Higher level South Vern ‘Void’ Chaos Dungeons, and Hard T3 Cube & Boss Rush activities (Item Level 1490) will arrive along with Neria’s Wardrobe Pajama Edition, a festive Holiday Event, and a new accessory type— the Bracelet, which can be earned from the Brelshaza Legion Raid, Caliligos Guardian Raid, and South Vern’s new Void Chaos dungeon. The Bracelet increases character stats, but doesn’t have Engravings slotted into it like other accessories.

Looking Ahead
We’re excited to see players vanquish the myriad of threats arriving in the coming months as they grow their skills in challenging activities, and grow their rosters with new Advanced Classes and earn impactful rewards to help progression. In the meantime, stay tuned to our website, social channels, and the release notes for the full list of new content, store updates, events, bug-fixes, and more over the coming months. See you in Arkesia!

Hello everyone, and welcome to the Weekly Dev Log for October 3rd, 2022, detailing all the changes that have happened since September 26th, 2022. Note: Devs that don't appear in the weekly log are not necessarily away or not doing work, but may be working on things currently not announced or backend work that doesn't need to be detailed.

Learn how to participate here!

Halloween
Now that the second phase of the Casino has been released, our next focus is on Halloween. A bunch of work is happening behind the scenes getting the game ready for the Halloween events, the Halloween themed Plaza, the new shooting gallery ride, and of course new items!

Johanna worked on updating the loading platform for the shooting gallery ride.

JJosh continued working on new Halloween items.

macdguy continued working on the event system for the shooting gallery ride, spending time to plan out all the individual track events and timings.

Nuclearxpotato worked on integrating the new Halloween items.

Wheezwer worked on paintings for the shooting gallery ride.

Will worked on music and sounds for the shooting gallery ride.

Halloween: Shooting Gallery Ride Track Event Setup WIP



General Optimizations

Johanna has been spending a bunch of times on various optimizations.

The Casino - Phase 2 update included a wave of optimizations for the Arcade that made it much more performant on both the CPU and GPU. While not huge breakthroughs, they are significant optimizations.

In the upcoming Halloween update, there is slated to be even more optimizations, a second pass for the Arcade and one for the Casino that should hopefully help squeeze a few extra FPS here and there.

A big optimization she's been working on has been on "movables", specifically ambient moving objects like rotating signs and the gears on the ride building in the Plaza. This will dramatically increase the performance of the Pets system, and the effects of this optimization should be noticeable in Plazas or other areas with lots of players with pets.

Lastly, she's been working on optimizing condo items. As an example, placing 30 of a desk she just optimized will be just as performant as the same desk previously with only 10 of them placed.

So stay tuned for future updates coming soon that will include these optimizations.

Miscellany

Lifeless continued working on gameworld maps.

macdguy continued working on fixing bugs in the Casino, as well as working on a proper menu for VR.

Sketchman worked on new achievement icons for the Virus map, Corrosion.

Drago Noka - Michael_PLAYISM

Tune in as Julian from PLAYISM PLAYS manages his very own village on the back of a dragon!

The surface has become overrun with huge giants and dangerous pests, leaving an uninhabitable world in their quake. Humans have nowhere to live, and so… they live on the backs of dragons! Develop your very own village, gather various materials, and create new items with your very own hands.

Drago Noka is brought to you by GeSEI unkan, the indie game developers behind Wandering. They used the game construction tool WOLF RPG Editor to bring this masterpiece to life. Create an entire village to your liking atop a gigantic dragon in this city-building game Drago Noka.

Watch as he cooperates with (or harasses) numerous villagers, battle ferocious beasts and dragons, and create a village the Julian way in this livestream of PLAYISM PLAYS: Drago Noka!

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The surface world has become overrun with huge beasts and dangerous pests, leaving an uninhabitable world in their quake. With the humans feeling trapped and unsafe, they turn to giant dragons and live on the backs of the gentle giants. Develop your very own village, gather various materials, and create new items with your very own hands. Relax and enjoy a peaceful village life while soaring high in the sky atop a dragons’ back!

Take on many different jobs like farming, blacksmithing, fishing, sewing, cooking, synthesizing, and raising farm animals!

But don’t worry, you don’t have to run the village all by yourself! Invite new villagers with various skill sets and befriend them by working and building together. Create the village you desire while taking care of your villagers’ needs. Who knows, you may even start a family of your own along the way!

Don’t get too comfortable! As peaceful as village life is, one must be prepared for the fight ahead as your dragon is not the only dragon in this world…The Fire Dragon, Wind Dragon, Ice Dragon and more also roam the land. Their very existence affects your village in various ways. One day, you might need to fight them head-on, so be prepared!

In the demo, players can experience the first three days of village life in English, Japanese, and Simplified Chinese.
