Our minor patch this month brings you improvements to our current combat experience with new sword animations, better targeting, changes to ranges and timings, and various tweaks to smooth out multiplayer combat.  These changes are to better align us with the major update coming in early Q2, so expect more improvements to combat in the future.

Here are the changes you will see today:

0.1.7.0 Patch

IMPROVEMENTS

Backend adjustments and bugfixes to smooth out player combat in a multiplayer setting, such as addressing client-based desyncs.

Added a chevron above your current target to denote who you are actively targeting.

Enemy health bars have also been adjusted to be more responsive and remain visible if you hold that enemy as a target.

New sword attack animations.

Player combat animations, timings, and ranges for gap closing have been adjusted.

Removed the "Gorgon’s Gaze" debuff. Debuff to be revisited when more combat improvements have been made.

UPDATE 2:30pm CT

0.1.7.1 HOTFIX

We have submitted a follow-up hotfix to correct a broken "Harvester" quest that had snuck into the patch. If you created a new world since the patch this morning and discovered the broken Harvester quest, you will need to recreate the world after downloading the hotfix.

Besides hotfixes, our next update may be our first major content update with Sisters of the Deep! We'll tease more about this throughout the next couple months. Get excited!
