Shades of Rayna Update 0.6.0.0 (07/04/2023)

New Season Event: Challenger
This season's focus is challenger tokens. You get these tokens by completing challenges in maps on Conquer mode. Challenges spawn in the map with 40% chance. Each map you get offered 3 tier challenges. Difficulty and rewards increase with each tier.

You need to complete "Welcome Challenger" pursue quest to have access these challenges in maps.

You will appear on the leaderboards when you get your first tokens.


New Class: Outlaw
Outlaw is the 5th class of the game. It's a ranged class with dual pistols. Just like other classes, it has 10 active and 5 passive skills. You can check these skills on Outlaw's store page and also purchase it from there. A trailer video is coming soon.

Just like other paid classes, you can play Outlaw for free until the end of first dragon fight.

New NPC: Challenger
Challenger is a new npc to the game. Unlike other npc's, Challenger accompanies you in the base. But first you need to rescue him and bring him to the base.

Pursue Quest: This is a new type of quest system. Pursue quests have steps you need to follow. When you complete a step, you are given another step to complete. After the last quest, you get the big reward. In this case, you bring Challenger to the base.

Challenges: Once Challenger comes to the base, you will have access to the challenges in maps. Challenge stone has 40% chance to appear in a conquer map. When you activate a challenge, it will appear on screen for you to follow. You can see it fail or success.
While you are doing challenges in maps, you also complete Challenger's own objectives about these challenges. You can get rewards for them.
There is also an upgrade part of challenges. You can unlock tier 2 and 3 challenges to appear, you can upgrade the gained token count and also you can upgrade challenge stone spawn chance.

Map Completion: This is a new endgame feature. A set of objectives to complete on the long haul. There are also Lore Scrolls and specific Collectibles for each map to acquire. Each map has 5 lore scrolls and 5 collectibles. Lore Scrolls give some stories about the map itself or the area around the map. Collectibles are from the game's OG players and some are about the map itself. These Lore Scrolls and Collectibles appear one per map with a very low chance in a conquer map.

Rewards: Challenger has it's own shop. Since The Challenger becomes available in the early-mid endgame, he will offer Tier 10 and Grand+ items and their crafting materials. He will also sell conquer nodes very soon.

Minor Patch 7th April
The plan this week was primarily to enable some of the quest content and elite mobs in the Ice Kingdom.

We'd quietly enabled full xp sharing when we launched Ice Kingdom to see how it changed player behaviour and for the most part, we were pleased with what was happening. The system however was easily exploited, and we had large amounts of experience being gained from positions of complete safety. Reverting from shared experience back to split experience was all we could do in the short term but we diverted resource this week into adding some layers of protection against common afk farming mechanisms to enable us to return to xp sharing.

As such this patch is mainly about bringing shared experience back online and we've pushed the content into next week.

We will be monitoring how much xp gain explodes again (some of our metrics looked very crazy last weekend!) and hopefully this will be enough to mitigate the issues we saw whilst also feeling a lot better for non-afk parties.

[Xp Changes]

Every member of parties now receive 100% of xp from creatures killed within a small area around the monster.
To be eligible for sharing a number of conditions must be met, which for the most part should happen fine when people are just playing together.
Inactivity now disables Xp Gain and the ability to pick up items. You can tell you're currently inactive by the Zzz icon over your class icon, and you can tell someone else I by the AFK on their name. Moving away from the area is the quickest way to return to an active state.
Xp award is now reduced to players in significantly higher level areas then their character.
Shrines of the Kami now require adventurer levels to be high enough to interact with dependent on the zone’s level.
The curve of reduced xp from mobs as the player’s adventurer level increases has been sharpened.


[Misc Changes]
Most monsters around the Ice Kingdom have had their base damage reduced.
Reduced the power level bonus Ghosts gain for each level they spawn with (they would generally be strong enough to ignore your armour completely)
Heavy armour now provides +2.5% resistance to all three physical damage types for each piece worn (this is applied after power level calculations)
Skeleton summons now have slightly improved health scaling, mana regeneration and resistances.

Hello friends! Every Friday 17:30 UTC/GMT we hold a “Let’s play together” competition. During next 24 hours everyone is welcome to try and score the best time in a preselected level. Join our Discord server and keep Discord running while playing — your results will be automatically published in the #lets-play-together channel. You need to get 5 stars to qualify.

Glittering prizes include:
1) Top 3 winners receive one random card each. Collect 18 locomotive cards and advance to next set of 6 all new cards! Complete that second set and enter a final tier of 12 rare cards! Assemble all cards from all tiers and receive a special prize. Easy!
2) Every player registered by our Discord bot has a chance to get a card. The number of cards depends on the number of participants: one additional card for every 10 train connoisseurs on the list. More players means more prizes!
2.5) One non-Champion from the top 10 gets a card - introduced along with 12 new loco cards from Myths And Rails and Editor's Bulletin

Good luck everyone!

В этом анонсе мы расскажем и покажем вам переработанные карты Доминиона, а также приоткроем завесу тайны: поделимся тем, какие изменения ждут язычника уже этой весной!



Игроки не раз просили команду разнообразить карты Доминиона и, наконец, мы можем их показать! В обновлении 14.1 мы расширим выбор полей для сражений, чтобы сделать игровой процесс еще интереснее. На Доминион вернутся знакомые многим, но переработанные и улучшенные карты. Они позволят вам по-новому погрузиться в игровой процесс сражений и в то же время испытать чувство легкой ностальгии!





Во время одной из экспедиций была обнаружена территория, судя по всему, отколовшийся от Святой Земли. Там есть место силы, представляете! И магия Света, за которую сражаются Лига и Империя, присутствует там в полной мере. Но будьте аккуратнее в этих привлекательных джунглях, они не так просты, как кажутся на первый взгляд.







Загадочное место. Древняя джунская кузня, ныне захваченная культистами Тэпа. Что там происходит — неизвестно никому. Мы слышали о группе отчаянных путешественников, отважившихся проникнуть во чрево древнего вулкана, где и расположена кузня. Будьте предельно осторожны, когда отважитесь бросить вызов этой гремучей смеси.







Только представьте себе — полностью сохранившийся храм эпохи расцвета джунской империи. Не те жалкие руины, которые разбросаны повсюду, а полноценный храмовый комплекс. Барельефы, фрески, статуи, резные колонны...






Этот остров, получивший имя Узилище, — тюрьма самого Владыки! На джесерокопиях видны измождённые узники, запертые внутри энергетических куполов, а все проходы перекрыты силовыми полями.






Наша команда стремится сделать классы интересными и актуальными для любых игровых активностей. Мы внимательно следим за вашими отзывами и реакциями на изменения, поэтому в этом году мы решили подарить классу Язычник дополнительное развитие, переработав его роль аспекте Поддержки.



Основной причиной для работы над Язычником стал тот факт, что, на наш взгляд, в текущем виде он работает не так, как хотелось бы. Он не является полноценным игроком в роли поддержки, но при этом может нанести небольшое количество урона и исцеления, которого в этом аспекте не хватает ни на роль бойца, ни на роль лекаря. Да и у игроков он не пользуется популярностью в роли поддержки.

Мы хотим возродить Язычника в роли полноценного игрока поддержки, чтобы дать больше вариативности при выборе классов на различных активностях.

Обновленный Язычник сможет составить конкуренцию Барду и Инженеру в поддержке: теперь он способен накладывать на группу эффекты боевой и защитной поддержки, включая Защиту, развеивать магические эффекты, наложенные на союзников или противников, и это далеко не полный список его новых возможностей!

Был полностью переработан геймплей Язычника в аспекте Поддержки. Изменено расположение вех, добавлены новые умения и вехи. За счет переработки вех и умений, изменения немного коснулись аспектов Нападения и Исцеления.

Также мы внесли изменения в работу питомца. Теперь он будет более стойко переносить получаемый урон, а у Язычника появятся умения, которые позволят отдавать команды питомцу. Нашей задачей было сделать присутствие питомца более значимым как для соло игрока, так и для команды игроков.

После появления новой версии Язычника на серверах, мы будем наблюдать за тем насколько часто он теперь используется в аспекте Поддержки и нравится ли игрокам.

Приятной игры!

1、修复了手动存档没有记录出货内容的原因


_(:з」∠)_俺是吞你们货物的程序员，过两天我会调高油纸伞的价格补偿大家伙的！对不住了！

This update contains significant network updates including the larger part of the infrastructure needed to support crossplay with the standalone Quest2 platform. Note that the Quest2 standalone version is about 85% complete at this point. I have also completed the new/updated scheduling server and am working on the crossplay server at the same time as I work on the Quest2 version. Lots of new players coming into the game, not sure what is driving that influx, but it's exciting! Thank you all for your patience and support!

Hopefully solved a glaring shader glitch which caused super saturated swaths of pixels

Made mouse able to decrease menu options by clicking on the left portion

Made mouse aiming slightly more accurate

Made it easier to hit ranged switches

Made holding right-click able to lock onto targets like the RT gamepad button

Made scrolling menus better with the mouse

Solved blank button on level up announcement

Solved a big memory leak which caused the game to use more than the intended ~3 GB

Hopefully solved random crashes between floors

Solved an issue where the player would start below the world, as if they had fallen

More to come in part 2/2 of this update tonight...

Limited Beta Version 0.1.000 Patch Notes

Welcome to the Hit and Boom Limited Beta Phase!

During the Alpha phase, we’ve created our initial map, test map and 6 different playable characters and 4 different factions. As you already know our factions, Valhalla Industries, Kayra Corporation, Amun Syndicate and Olympos Laboratories; they've converted ancient mythical powers and items to implement the BoomBots, our playable characters in the arena. This is the first time we see the power unleashed upon the arena.

Each of our characters had 3 different weapons that had 3 different skills to use in the game. Currently in the initial limited beta phase, we’ve increased our active skill count to 4 for each different weapon and builds. Now you’re able to play with 18 different weapons that are built on 6 different characters. We will be adding new characters and changes in time of course!

No time to waste! Let’s dive into the patch notes!

Is something bugging you? or Do you have any feedback? Maybe we can support you.

Greetings, Adventurers!

The plague of rabbits has returned once again, only now, they are more perilous than ever! Watch out for explosions as you hunt for event-specific loot from April 12 to April 25. Thanks to player feedback from last year, each rare drop is now guaranteed after slaying a certain number of corrupted rabbits. They can drop Diamond Gypsum, Defiled Rabbit’s feet (increases luck), a Defiled Storage Chest of the Hare, and a new Corrupted Rabbit Mask.

Check out the full reward breakdown below and then see how the Syndicate reacts to these fury little killers.



Help cull the plague for daily and special event rewards. Rewards reset at 5 AM local time. For example, if you grab 6 Diamond Gypsum at 4:58 AM, you’ll be able to earn another at 5:01 AM.

Each corrupted rabbit can drop the following:

Diamond Gypsum - (66% Drop Chance)

• Daily Limit: 6 per day

Defiled Rabbit’s Foot (80% Drop Chance)

• Consumable Item: Increases Luck
  
• Daily Limit: 5 per day

Corrupted Rabbit Mask (.50% Drop Chance)

• Head Skin
  
• Guaranteed after defeating 200 corrupted rabbits.
  
• Limit: 1 per event

Defiled Storage Chest of the Hare (.25% Drop Chance)

• Housing Item
  
• Guaranteed after defeating 400 corrupted rabbits.
  
• Limit: 1 per event

The mysterious phenomenon behind these volatile long-eared rodents immediately caught the attention of the Syndicate:

“Would you kindly repeat that?” Cabalist Cleo’s cynical gaze peered over the edge of an ancient tome, a recent acquisition from the Great Pyramid of Ahket that, until this moment, held her full attention.

The initiate across from her anxiously straightened her collar, attempting to look tall in her oversized uniform. “A rabbit, mistress. It, uh, exploded...”

“Exploded?” Cleo slowly lowered the artifact and leaned forward in her chair.

She avoided the intensity of the mistress’s discerning gaze. “Y-Yes, like a bomb. Well, only somewhat… Not like that black powder, more like, ah, it erupted in Corruption, ma’am.”

The mistress was motionless, carefully observing the trembling girl who looked little more than a rabbit herself. “And was your person infected with any of this volatile Corruption?”

Discreetly brushing off some dried blood and bits of fur, the initiate spurted, “No, no, mistress. I-I don’t believe so.”

Cleo leaned back in contemplation, steepling her hands as she mused. “Rabbits infected with corruption? Certainly, beasts have become Corrupted, but oft in the forms of dangerous creatures, something of use to the Corrupted. But rabbits?” The cabalist tapped her lips. “So, Corruption can be harnessed for explosives. As ridiculous as it is, the implications are… intriguing.”

“I-I was thinking the same thing, mistress,” the initiate eagerly added, pleased that she aroused Cleo’s interest.

Cleo’s eyes shot up to the girl, having forgotten her presence. “Then it seems a venture of your interest, as well. Capture one of these Corrupted rabbits; in whole. Chunks and pieces make for a poor specimen.”

With her orders given, Cleo picked up the tome and resumed reading.

The apprentice frowned and shifted in her seat. “How, hm… H-How do you propose I accomplish that, mistress?”

“Consider this your final test, initiate,” she said without interest. “Prove yourself worthy and you shall be recognized among the ranks of the Syndicate as an adept.”

After a brief silence, Cleo did lift her eyes and what the initiate hoped would be encouragement was instead a bored warning; “And do try to not get Corrupted.”



We look forward to your help in clearing this infestation. Thanks for your support! We’ll see you in the wilds of Aeternum.
