1.14.1 The Gameplay Update - Changelog

​

It’s time! Here’s the changelog for the upcoming update, named “The Gameplay Update”.

Now, we already shared some of the biggest news in the past weeks, so instead of rewriting them all, here they are…


Powders: How they work, how to add them

​

However, we also hid some things from you guys, and here’s the list…

Bug Fixes:

• Fixed thorns triggering lifesteal every time, also made it do 50% less damage against players, and 50% more damage against mobs.
• Fixed a bug where saying no to downloading the pack prevents you from playing
• Fixed attack speed ID not working properly, and we made it so it won’t affect spell damage anymore.
• Fixed a bug where casting a spell on a sign and other spot could trigger another unintended click.
• Fixed a bug where sometimes a player could get glitched and crash servers when they were login in.

General Changes:

• Remove YT rank XP bonus
• Mobs can now have more than 1 spell
• Mobs can now spawn other mobs when killed
• New guild territories for Gavel!
• New mobs to defend your territories.
• Merchants skin. They can be any entity now, not just villagers
• Boats will pop back into your inventory when you dismount them

Items:

• Most legendaries have been buffed!
• We now have about 400+ more items! Maybe even more...
  
• New mythics!
• Nerfed jester sets to make it less abusable.

New Features:

• Reidentifications! You can reidentify any items you want as many time as you want, but the price will go up exponentially every time. Simply talk to an identifier and identify it again just like you would with any item.

• Soul Points system has been reworked. Now instead of dropping everything at 2 SP and less, you will have a chance to drop your item the less soul points you got. Don’t worry, nothing of value should drop until you reach 5 SP, and horses will never drop.

​

• Swarms! Yea, some of you guys were expecting that because we decided to add swarms info on the stats page. Although, we couldn’t test it with 60 players, so if everything goes well during the beta, it will be added. Let’s pray it does.

Website:

Now, those changes might not come on the exact same day, but we got a few new things for the website…

• Updated map! Will now show your position, your friend’s position (if both players are friends) and your guild’s position on the map, as long as they are on the same server as you.
  
  
• Updated item guide! You can now select filters and see much more details.
  
  ​

Beta

Just like the Gavel Expansion, we've made a beta testing server. All of the moderation team and content team will be there, but we are also gonna whitelist some of you guys! All you need to do is enter your name on THIS form. We will randomly pick some of you in a wave and announce it.

The beta server should be ready for tonight. We will let you know on twitter if it isn't.

Now, for those unaware, betas are generally very messy. Bugs, lags, crashes, etc. All of that will happen, and probably frequently. Don’t join the beta thinking it’s gonna be as stable as it is right now.

What’s not in the beta:

• Dungeon shops from Undergrowth Ruins up to Corrupted Decrepit Sewers won’t be complete.

• The new “???” quest will be deactivated.
• The new territories and guild mobs

What we expect from you in the beta:

We are gonna create a new section on the forum, called “Beta Feedback”. On this, you will be able to post any feedback regarding the beta. We want to know EVERYTHING, this includes…

• Bugs you find
• Weird glitches
• Anything gameplay related (Is it fun? Is it fair?)
• Exploits

You will start at level 1 and you will not have any XP/Loot multiplier in the beta. We will however give some level boost to some people to test the high level stuff. We want to make sure you guys can test the new XP changes and give feedback on that.

The IP for the beta will be beta.wynncraft.com
