Ryzom: ATS Patch Notes

TEST SERVER RELEASE NOTES
Thursday 30th, 2004 - ATS patch 33

IMPORTANT NOTE: THESE ARE THE TEST SERVER RELEASE NOTES NOT THE LIVE SERVER!!!

Introducing: Ritual Missions!
. Keep an open eye on your Encyclopaedia: by accomplishing some tasks, and fulfilling pre-requisites such as level and fame , you may unlock some Rites!

Be prepared, and receive some surprising rewards. Each Rite unlocked and accomplished will reveal a bit of Atys' history.

Introducing: Mektoub Mounts!
. Mektoub mounts are on sale, but beware as from now on all Mektoubs get
hungry!

Here are a few hints on how to keep your mektoub in good shape:

At running speed, Mektoubs consume food for energy. When their energy is
too low Mektoubs slow down.

At walking speed -which is still faster than a walking homin- Mektoubs
don't consume any food.

This is valid for all kinds of Mektoubs; mounts and packers.

So be careful, if you are riding a running mount, and the
packer following you begins to starve, it will slow down until you feed
it or it will stop following you.

We highly suggest you go to the closest stable, buy some food for your
Mektoubs and put it in their inventory.

WHAT'S NEW

[ M i s c e l l a n e o u s ]
. There is now a maximum amount of mobs that can agro your character at
the same time. If a mob from a higher level then yours comes into your agro,
he will take the place of a lesser level mob on you.
. As Encyclopaedia comes live, this has an effect on the tasks and missions
you might be doing at the moment. As a result of this, we will clear the
tasks and missions which are active: New players will receive the Welcomers
missions, and players on the main lands will receive introductive
missions to rites.
Any other open mission shall be cancelled automatically.
. The Death Penalty will now slowly disappear by itself after three irl
days max.

[ M E K T O U B ]
. As Mektoub packers of various levels are available, some descriptions
have been added to them when browsing the Stable boy inventory.

[ F I G H T ]
. Each stanza using "circular attack" has its own value. The description
texts have been also modified in order to be more understandable.

[B][ I n t e r f a c e ][/b]
. You can set up your 'resolution' and 'details' preferences at login.
. You can browse the hand bar by scrolling your mouse wheel.
. Guild members are now displayed with a different colour in the radar.

[ P v P ]
. Allies / enemies / neutral are now displayed with different colours in
the radar in PvP faction areas.

. The Space / Ctrl-Space keys have been adapted to PvP events :
- Space targets another player if he chose another faction than yours in
this PvP event. If one of those 2 players did not choose a
faction, he is going to be targeted if he is not in his team or his
guild.
- Ctrl-Space targets other player from the same faction as yours. If one
of those 2 players did not choose a faction it will cycle target other
members from your team.

[ C R A F T I N G ]
. All armour craft stanzas have been tuned with classes (1, 2 or 3). The
class 2 armours have now 1.5 times more HP than class 1 armours. The class 3 armours have now twice as much HP than class 1 armours.

BUG FIX
[ M i s c e l l a n e o u s ]
. Teleport tickets can be used after cancelling their use, no more need
to relog.

bricks should now be correctly displayed (translated).
. The emote menu has been simplified.
. Some players experienced problems with the Opengl full screen mode
while using an XP theme desktop.
. There is now a scrollbar for the item part selection in the crafting
interface.
