Changelog

2.1.1

PREAMBLE

World generation config somehow screwed marketplace locations. This was fixed with thepatch. However, the locations only generate on initial world generation so you will have to generate it manually with upgrade_world mod. Here is the command: locations_add Vendor_BlackForest:marketplacenpc start

General

• fixed marketplace location not generating
• ore drops are now locked behind boss progression
• changed bronze crafting recipe from 3x to 2x(2x copper + 1x tin = 1 bronze)
• readjusted distance needed for multiplier to kick for blackmetal and silver

2.1.0 Bow class rework + Major Projectile changes

PREAMBLE

This patch aims to give the bow players more variety by adding the greatbows from Therzie. I've rebalanced it to give each weapon type its own identity(see below for changes). Battlehammers 3rd hit was nerfed as it somehow has quite high attack speed. In addition I have fixed the problem that items without recipes popped up in EL. Additionally I have patched it to the latest Jewelheim EL patches.

Bows

• Added blackmetal greatbow and dvergr greatbow with 10% movementspeed penalty
• removed seteffects of greatbows
• decreased drawtime of greatbows from 5 to 3.25
• normal bows have no more movementspeed penalty as they should be able to kite enemies in close quarters
• adjusted some values to make up for projectile tweaks removal
• projectile velocity of all bows were changed due to removal of projectile tweaks(velocity is nerfed slightly for all bows except the early bows, velocity will increase per weapon tier, velocity is as before at flametal tier)
• normal bows have no more movementspeed penalty as they should be able to kite enemies in close quarters
• accuracy now increases per bow skill level

Spears

• adjustments to spear throws due to removal of projectile tweaks(overall it should feel more realistic and not make the spear a better bow, I think range slightly decreased)

Battlehammers

• decreased last chain hit multiplier from 2x to 1.5x

EpicLoot

• fixed items without recipe appearing in trader gamble section

2.0.1

• backpatching betterriding mod to fix bugs(please note you need to backpatch manually if modpack is already installed)
• fixed readme mistake

2.0.0

PREAMBLE

With this update I intend to give the players an easier start while adding more stuff for exploration and customization(more traders, no longer need to buy marketplacehammer from haldor). I am adding world generation mod to guarantee all locations and vegetation changes apply. New weapons "Bastard Sword", "BattleaxeCrystal" and "Battlehammer" from Therzie was added(my custom version to make it unique as e.g. claymore was pretty much the same as bastard swords). Overhaul of slam vfx.

Traders

• added spawn of 1 new and 1 existing NPCS
• added transmogrification trader which sells transmogs for armors(only armors)
• EpicMMO Quest NPC will now spawn next to the vegvisir of Eikthyr at spawn temple
• Transmog NPC will spawn somewhere in the Plains(till 60% distance from spawn)
• removed MarketplaceHammer from Haldor shop

Difficulty

• enabled creatures sectors which will apply from 20+ creatures kills in an area(to help reduce monotone farming)
• switched default starting season to be summer instead of spring to help with finding pickable stones
• pickable stone biome changed to meadows only
• pickable stone spawns increased by 2-3x to help on new playthroughs
• pickable branch biome changed to meadows only
• armored effect decreased from 100% to 30%

Weapons

• added new weapon type "bastard sword"
• added new weapon type "battlehammer"
• added new weapon type "battleaxeCrystal"
• averhaul of Sledge aoe slam vfx for cleaner gameplay

1.4.3

General

• fix for ingame settings being completly messed up due to a specific mod config setting

Removed mods

• TooltipExpansion by Azumatt(causes issues with EpicLoot)

1.4.2 Balance patch

PREAMBLE

I am still monitoring the recent shield patches(as much as its possible). They are in a better spot than before since nerfing them enabled much more playstyles to be really viable. Atgeir felt out of favor due to very low stagger multiplier. Increased the value again to allow glass canon builds to stagger with special attack. Warpikes were more on the weak side so I am giving it more options to deal real dmg. Also increased stats per upgrade(still doing some testing, not looking to lose its identity of being a slow but lethal weapon. Not looking to overbuff it too). Battleaxes were quite strong with correct stats so I reduced its stagger multiplier on primary attacks(I didn't know Warfare increased those). Once ZenDragon adds pushback multiplier toggle I will push a follow up patch to make sledge aoe and atgeir playable again...

General

• decreased spawnrate of horses and dragons
• changed configs so floating items are no longer possible. Pieces still have no structural integrity.
• fixed descending dragons dismounting(removed dismount roll with that)
• fixed raids not spawning
• updated dependencies

Warpikes

• increased pierce dmg per level from 6 to 12
• increased stagger multiplier on primary attack from 1 to 2.5(this will make staggering easy)

Atgeir

• increased stagger multiplier on secondary attack from 1.4 to 3(vanilla is 6)

Battleaxes

• decreased stagger multiplier on primary attack from 1.5 to 1

Feedback

It will take me ages to find a balance in weaponry. Any help is welcome so please share your thoughts on discord!

1.4.1

• fixed changelog of 1.4.0
• increased LeatherScraps droprate to 2x

1.4.0

PREAMBLE

PLEASE NOTE I ALWAYS RECOMMEND TO CREATE A NEW PROFILE WHEN UPDATING MODPACK. IF YOU DO SO, PLEASE TRANSFER YOUR OLD SEASONALITY CONFIG OVER TO THE NEW PROFILE TO KEEP YOUR SEASON STATE.

Shield rework

Parrying is broken in this game. Whats the point in investing into armor or playing a 2h weapon when you can just have less armor and deal more dmg. Especially the EpicMMOSystem-stats make it way too easy to block stuff. Therefore I am bringing the shields down a bit. Tower shields remain the same but have higher block angles. Buckler will be more of 'only parry' shields(at least for the current biome you are in). Banded shields are somewhere inbetween with lower parry values but higher block values overall. This should bring all shields more in line and provide more viable playstyles.

Blocking

• readjusted combatoverhaul config to allow bucklers and banded shields to block attacks again(bucklers should have too low values to effectively block reliable)
• increased perfect block window(parry) from 0.25 to 0.3
• reduced VES shield values of buckler and banded shields to max 30%

Shields

Banded shields:

• Reduced parry multiplier from banded shields from 1.5 to 1.2 Buckler shields
• reduced armor values to be max at 22.
• increased multiplier to 8 for all bucklers
• reduced upgrade values to 1 Tower shields:
• no changes

Other changes

• enabled recipe of giant club not showing up

Feedback

Please note that this is a very huge change in the gameplay and therefore could cause issues. The vision is as described above but if there is anything not in line or feels bad for you, please let me know in discord. Happy for every feedback!

1.3.0

Weapons

Added warpikes to the game. It is my own version to make them unique. You will only have 1 combo primary and secondary attack. Both do not have any multipliers but instead they have huge raw dmg values. The attacks are pretty slow and the knockback is quite high. It is the perfect weapon for those that mainly use secondary attacks in general. You can follow up your primary with your secondary for a little combo. Sledges have a different primary attack animation to fit their heavy weight character. Elder battlehammer, yagluth blade, scythe and dualaxes were removed from boss drops.

General

• Patch for new EpicLoot update
• updated dependencies
• updated readme page to show valid discord link again
• you can no longer ride when encumbered(transport should still be done with ships)

1.2.0 Rested buff, Guardian power and UI rework

Resting & Rested buff

I have adjusted rested duration to match vanilla again. Rested buff was just too powerful and you had more than enough tools to make it last 40+ minutes. Now you should have to play around your rested buff more which might also force to buy more outposts where you can regenerate rested buff. Increased regenerations while resting will help with that. In addition, fire will no longer stay lit to make late game furniture better. With the UI, you will see which items are required and for how long it will last(60+ days for iron torches, thats more than enough). Finally resin has a use again!

Guardian power

I have rebalanced guardian power. Eikthyr, Bonemass, Yagluth and Queen will only be active powers. Elder, Moder and Fader will be passive powers. Passive powers will be available after defeating the bosses the first time and active powers after the second time. My thoughts behind this is that having a passive and an active power will make it really inconsistent in terms of switching the boss powers and having depleted passives after activation. When you get the elder buff, your intention is to build for many hours probably and how does it make sense to only have that buff for 2 mins and depleted passive afterwards. You want to go on and farm to have enough resources to build up your kingdom. The same applies for moder. This changes will make GP more consistent overall and give it more of a purpose. The duration of actives is increased to 150seconds.

UI

I have added ZenHoverItems which should help identifying things more easily. Also this kinda feels more complete then just having text anytime you hover something. In addition I reworked MyLittleUI config to be more in line with not having text at all. This resulted in having to turn off progression based UI elements from smoothbrain skills. Overall this should feel more immersive and clean than before.
