VGN GM Jordan Posted June 23, 2022 VGN GM Report Share Posted June 23, 2022 Elemental's Battlefield Elemental's Battlefield is our newest 25 player raid dungeon ready to be taken on by those who dare! I would like to point out that I think this is one of the most visually appealing and natural flowing dungeons we have ever created. I hope you all get to appreciate the visuals as this one really knocks it out of the park! Rewards You can collect rewards from two sources with this dungeon. The first is by completing the mainline quest which will appear in your unaquired quests upon reaching level 120. The second is once you have completed the mainline quest you can then complete the daily quest which you will recieve from inside the dungeon from <Abyss Elite> Marvin (X:444, Y:643). Guild Relics The main object of the new content is to provide guilds with some brand new and improved guild town relics! Based on feedback over the years on our last relics we have removed all RNG from the process of obtaining the statue you want. So whats new about the current statues? Well we wanted to increase variety for guilds so we have created a new system thats similar to the original chess dungeon. You must exchange Flame Elemental Stone's with <Fire Dragon Princess> Oriel in Abyss for one of four blue grade statues. You can then fuse two of these blue grade statues together to get a golden grade statue. These golden statues will have the combined stats of the two statues merged.Note: You cannot merge two of the same type statues together, they must be two different types. Special Title To celebrate those who complete the raid in the first week of release we have added a special title for people who complete the main quest in the first week. The title granted is Elemental Manipulator and it will be give upon completion of the mainline quest. This will be removed from the quest on Thursday 30th June 2022! Content Revamp Aura Kingdom Maps! After doing some hard looking at the games custom content I found that certain areas where not quite up to the current standard and quality checks of the game. So we spent some time going over things and improving the quality of the content that wasn't up to our current standards. The first improvement comes as a graphical update to the majority of Aura Kingdom imported maps. We felt like these maps looked really bad incomparrison to some of the other imported content so we did something about it! Full list of maps that where improved below! Spoiler Guardians Valley Battlefield (Territory War Map). Garden of Eden (Guild Arena Map). Whispering Woods Singing Valley Roaming Hills Crystal Utopia Dragonside Ridge Frostmorn Mountains Grumond Grassland Fallmyst Weald Patch 44 Improvements! In addition to the above content changes we also felt like the level 95 to 108 could do with some improvements. So we overhauled a lot of the content have the design be a little more fluid and consistant throughout. This includes but is not limited to: NPC Models are more consistant and match the map. Monster areas have been thinned out so there is less overcrowding. Quest dialogs have been re-written to be more consistant. Monster and NPC's have been adjusted within the map to improve the map flow. Note: Dungeons have not been changed (Don't worry, Palace of Dreams is still the same as it was)! Note: I didn't manage to finish redoing all the book quests as of yet, so if they're blank or seem unreasably high amounts of monsters they will be corrected in the coming weeks. Abyss Portal Updates When making the Elemental's Battlefield I wanted to upgrade the boring old portals to have some flavour. So we have upgraded all the portals in Abyss and linked to Abyss to to match the theme. Archive Update After recieving some feedback from players in game and passed to me from @MrDoudou we decided on revamping the Archive a bit to improve the experience when searching for items. We decided rather than crowd the top of the archive more to add new features we have added a filters sidebar to the right of the Archive. This also allowed us to expand the amount of rows visiable at any given moment. The new sidebar has the following updates: The checkboxes have been update to have a more accurate description. Added the ability to filter items based on the grade colour. You can now filter the search results based on the Item Level. And finally, you will be happy to hear that we have now improved the Archive Search box to now be no longer case sensitive! You want to find a dragon? type dRAGON 😁 Client Upgrades Some of you might wonder why we had such a big asset patch when we've had bigger patches in the past that have been a quarter of the size. So I'm going to try my best to explain things without going too technical. We had a number of duplicate assets and unused assets in the game left over from previous versions of content. These files may have only been small but after a while they start to add up, this goes for the base game files too so I have removed a lot of the duplicate assets which you may notice the game is now around 500MB smaller even though you just had a huge asset patch including new maps and monster. We have also optimized custom content to include features the game didn't originally support, which reduces the amount of assets being loaded at any given moment. Although there isn't really an accurate way to give exact figures this should generally reduce game crashes that are related to the game not being able to allocate anymore memory. We are not done either! This is only half the game files optimized so far and there is still a lot more to go. I'm not sure when I'm going to begin tackling these issues as I want to focus more on content for the rest of the year but just know I'm always thinking of ways to optimize the game and its assets to improve your experience 😜 Guild Town Improvements @MrDoudou has finally convinced me to make some QoL changes to the Guild Towns! Here is a list of the changes that have been made: Increased Mine and Farm durability to 400. Increased Altar, Foundry, Alchemy Lab and Magic Pool durability to 300.
