Patch Notes 1.0.17.59

Greetings Mortals!

Prepare for a monumental shift in the world of Mortal Online 2.

With the introduction of territory control you can now claim land for your guild, expand your influence on the realm, construct settlements and grow in power.

You will not be the only one vying for control of Myrland however, so be prepared to engage in large scale siege warfare as the strongest powers collide and compete for dominion over the land.

The two new groups of Emanation and Arrangement bring 20 new Elementalism spells to the world of Nave, allowing magic users to expand their possibilities and effectiveness with totally new mechanics.

All this and so much more is now available in this patch. Please give the notes below a read and let us know what you think!

We have also put together a helpful "Getting started with Territory Control" manual over on our website which we encourage you to view here: https://www.mortalonline2.com/help-center/gameplay-help/getting-started-with-territory-control-and-sieging-manual/

POI containers such as barrels, chests, urns etc have a bit higher refresh rate for new loot.
Make pickables easier to target and interact with by improving the collision to better match the visual mesh. (pickables are objects like karotons or salt crystals)

Magic
The effects of multiple Elementalism Emanation spells no longer stack.
Casting Crawling Hands will now flag you as a criminal.
Lava Flow base damage decreased from 2224 to 2022

Mounts are now forcefully pushed towards the surface while swimming to ensure they stay afloat until we add buoyancy rules. There were a few scenarios where players managed to stay below the surface.
Fixed issue where mounts had a lesser step height than players. This caused mounts to be unable to step over objects that a player on foot would.

Door Breaching
Players can now force open the door of a house by damaging it.
House doors have health, and a defence value that scales linearly with the health % of the house it is connected to.
This means only houses that are being sieged can have their doors opened in a reasonable amount of time. Players should be able to feel safe in their homes outside of a siege scenario.
The door will recover its health over a short period of time.
At 100% health, the door has a defence of 100%.


Attributes, Skills and Buffs
Fixed a bug sometimes causing you to get more skill points than intended. Players affected by this bug will notice the appropriate amount of skill points being drained from their skills upon login.
Fixed an issue where if you unlocked Veterinary before a change made to Animal Care, it allowed you to bypass the Animal Care requirement. This should no longer be possible.

Patch Notes 1.0.16.24

Greetings Mortals!

This patch brings with it the second batch of Elementalism spells. Many of the new spells allow you to manipulate the weather of the region that you are in, with some spells even requiring specific weather in order to be cast.

The roster of mountable creatures is also expanding. You are now able to ride wolves, direwolves, terrorbirds, and even domestic pigs! In addition to these new mounts, the new mount passenger system allows you to bring a friend with you while riding horses and molvas.

Speaking of Molvas, they can now be equipped with bespoke armor. Making these awe-inspiring beasts even more imposing than before.

Lastly, several new craftable pet bags have been added to the game. Allowing your furry and feathered companions to assist you in new ways.

And as always, there are a slew of changes and fixes to go along with all of the new additions.

See you in Nave!


Mounts and pets
We have added the ability for certain combat pets to be mountable. This includes their risen variants. Risen pets have rules in which you can only have one “mount” type and one “combat” type or they will vanish.To be clear, the current pets look like this;

Horse-Mount type
Molva - Mount and Combat (Can only have them by themselves)
Other Rideable Combat pets - Combat

We will likely revisit these tags in the future and update you if or when they will change.

Four pets can now be used as a mount. Wolves, direwolves, terrorbirds and domestic pigs (this includes the risen variants).
Added craftable bags for several creatures.
Horses and Molva beasts can now hold an extra passenger.
Mounted Combat, Mounted Archery and Mounted Magic are disabled for mounted passengers.
Players can now offer other players to ride on their mount as a passenger if the mount allows it. Look at the other player and hold Ctrl+R to offer a ride. The passenger can then mount and dismount as long as the rider is on the mount. The passenger can be forced off the mount by using Ctrl+R and will no longer be allowed to ride again. A passenger will always dismount when the rider does (no AI riding).
Mounts now have a rider weight limit before penalties kick in, passenger included! E.g. Some horses can handle 180 kg without penalty at level 1. The weight includes the armor and body weight for the rider and passenger but not their inventory weight. The mount armor and bags are not included in this penalty. A penalty of 0.5% per kg will be applied to the speed and 0.2% to the turn rate beyond the weight limit.
Mounts carry an additional 0-40% extra rider weight between creature level 0-125. A creature with a 100 kg rider weight limit will have a 140 kg weight limit at level 125.
Fixed bug where the riding speed penalties from equipment and bag weights would sometimes not update properly.
Reduced the flee duration for mounts when the rider is knocked off from 3 seconds to 1.5 seconds.
Pets

Fixed bad volumes for medium-tier houses causing pets to randomly run into other player houses when running past them (or ignore parts of the house completely).
Fixed issue with broken corner pathing near houses. Pets would sometimes walk too close to walls and end up inside the house.
Fixed issue where pets would sometimes get stuck in the entrance until their owner moved far away enough for them to teleport.
Pets will no longer stop following their owner when blocked by a door. It will now keep trying until the door is opened again or the owner goes outside.
Pets should now navigate between sections in L- or T-shaped houses without taking shortcuts on the outside. Proper doorway navigation will come when we add in-house navigation around decorations.
Fixed bug where pets would not update their appearance when changing level. For example a young pet would not change into an adult appearance unless you stabled it or relogged back into the game.
Temporary change: Pets are now allowed to leave a building even when the entrance is closed. This change remains until we confirm that we have fixed the issues with pets randomly going into closed houses.
Fixed bug causing certain pet skills to not be properly checked if they are a criminal action or not.
Added

You can give bags custom names by ctrl + right-clicking them in your inventory.
Outlaw bandit spawners added to the world.
Lootable shallow graves with a chance of rare loot can now be found throughout Myrland.
Lootable sunken boats can be found throughout the Myrland seas.
Pet bag crafting for Molvas, Campodons, Celaenos, Tagmatons and Turtles.
Armor crafting for Molvas.
Added support for gathering resources from the ground.
Grass can now be gathered directly from the ground in thick grass areas to feed your pets. (Other resources like plants and bushes are still more effective and faster to lower pets hunger.)
There is now a Kallard task vendor in Cave Camp.
Quality of life
Reduced the interaction timer with other players (hold R to trade, etc).
Reduced the interaction timer for houses.
Quality of life

Reduced the interaction timer with other players (hold R to trade, etc).
Reduced the interaction timer for houses.
Balance

Bosses are now immune to Atrophy.

Disabled the auto re-enter combat mode functionality for bandages.

AI

Aggressive AI will now also attack player pets.
Weather and Heat

Heat System turned back on.
Weather now adds to heat.
Chilled, Frostbitten, Warmed and Ignited debuffs now affect the body heat of Players they are on.
Misc Changes

Reduced the camera wobble in mercy mode.
The "Rare rocks/trees" system has been brought back and merged with the current “rare material drop system”.
"Rare rocks/trees" will yield double the drop chance of the rare materials.
The bonus chance of finding rare materials has been reduced from 25% to 10%. Clade gifts 'Stoneseer', 'Geologist', and 'Dendrologist' will now notify the player if there is a high chance for rare materials when mining or lumberjacking. In general this change will increase the speed of gathering rare materials.
Updated the Pets UI.
Khurite 2 handed hilt is now included in the generic 2 hand hilt crafting skill instead of in the Khurite blade skill.
Parts of the package handling on the server has been rewritten to better handle a large player count.

Fixed issue where pickables would sometimes float above ground after teleporting to a priest.
Fixed crash that would happen when loading empty pickables.

Fixed 'size' in paperdoll sometimes showing the wrong number.
Fixed float inaccuracy bug for 'Height' in paperdoll UI.

But that’s far from all!



This patch also brings with it an expansion to alchemy, giving you the ability to refine new items, discover new resources, and uncover new effects from ingredients such as the ability to resist magic damage. And with the inclusion of long-awaited quality-of-life changes, such as the ability to slowly walk while casting spells, a new dismounting system, and allowing pets to enter houses, this update is sure to make your time in Mortal Online 2 more enjoyable than ever before.

Join us and explore the new school of Elementalism, further your studies in the art of alchemy, and give your furry companions a well-deserved rest under the safety of your home in this latest update to Mortal Online 2.



See you in Nave,

The Star Vault Team

Added
Added a new school of magic, Elementalism.
Added new Alchemy effects to discover and experiment with.
You can now get knocked down while mounted. You will be stunned for three seconds when knocked off the mount. The mount will flee and ignore commands for the stun duration and then stop.
Added a 10 unit vial to the Vial Vendor.
Added a new Background Volume option to Audio settings. This allows you to set the volume for the application when it is minimized or out of focus.
Added crash recovery for scenarios that cannot be handled by Unreal Engine’s crash reporter. The player will be sent back to the main menu with an error message that is automatically sent to the developers instead of the game silently crashing to the desktop.
Added a new checkbox in settings for Use Character Async Loading that is enabled by default. Enabling this will greatly reduce loading stalls on the CPU as you move around. This will not help with world streaming stutter.
Quality of life
Improved the automatic unstuck feature. The game should no longer default to the upwards direction. Getting stuck in for example a house or boss trap door should now push you in a reasonable direction.
Fall damage removed from sliding. Only free fall should cause fall damage. A free fall will still happen when sliding down a slope that suddenly becomes too steep.
Removed some edge case scenarios that would cause large fall velocity values to happen when running out from ledges. This would cause some stairs to give large fall damage values.
When rightclicking items into the Refining & Extraction UI, they will now fill empty slots first if possible, before replacing a filled, but available slot.
You can now finish a Split stack operation by pressing enter.
Players can now stop and dismount while moving equal to or slower than the first speed (walking).
Players can now stop and dismount at any speed while swimming.
Players will now see a message that they can’t dismount while falling.
You can now sip potions (consume 1 unit per rightclick/hotkey) or you can hold rightclick/hotkey for 0.5 seconds to quickly consume as much as possible.
Updated the character deletion message to be more clear on what is lost when deleting your character.
Client ping detection will now start once the loading screen closes and the player is ready to play instead of when the player logs in.
Adjusted ping kick to be less sensitive while we gather ping statistics from player connections.
Balance

Rebalanced the lower weight classes attribute modifiers, there are now more benefits to weighing less.
Tower shield weights have been increased.
Increased the base swing speed of Poleswords by 15%. (This does not apply to existing Poleswords)

The spell ‘Atrophy’ now lasts for 15 seconds, and reduces AI speed by 50%.
The spell ‘Mental healing’ now adds a buff to affected targets (never affects caster), granting increased mana regeneration for 15 seconds.
Rebalanced ‘Blood Kua’ stats.
Increased speeds of most horses to be closer to the desert horse.
Strong and slow horses now turn and accelerate slower than weak and fast horses.
Desert horse stamina drain lowered to ensure they still have something unique to them and are appealing in their own way.
Mount boost speeds were increased, boost stamina drain increased and boost duration set to 5 seconds.
Risen mounts rebalanced to have the same speed & stamina pool, lower stamina drain (and lower health) than their living and more sturdy counterparts.
Human clade gift ‘Southerner’ now reduces fire damage taken by 9%.
Human clade gift ‘Northerner’ now reduces cold damage taken by 9%.
Thursar clade gift ‘Thermoregulation’ now reduces fire & cold damage taken by 6%.

Animations
Disabled other animation sequences from playing while in mercy mode (emotes, skills, buffs, etc).

AI
Added support for volumes to the navmesh system. AI will now be able to navigate around the main structure in player buildables.
Nonpet AI will leash when following a player going into a house and otherwise ignore players in houses.
Pets will no longer teleport in or out of houses. Closing the door will stop a pet from entering or leaving the building.

Creatures will now stop and turn towards the tamer while being tamed.
Razorbacks now have directional attacks. (Left, right, and center)
Optimized AI movement to reduce the number of sent network packets.

Fixed an issue where The Vessel could be attacked while invisible during the poison phase.
