Vikings!
In this update, the Horn begins to sound, inviting to take part in the Challenge.
As mentioned before, its arrival will happen in multiple iterations, as it is a grand-scale event system. Today, it brings a very short playable teaser of the Challenge, offering a quick glimpse before sending you back home.
This patch has a larger-than-usual disk size as it already includes content that will become available in future updates.
After 15 minutes in Singleplayer Survival, you will hear the horn and feel the earth shake, signaling your invitation to descend. This will also appear in Co-op in upcoming patches.
The core of the Challenge is to search for rare loot, mine precious ores, and safely bring them back home. Then, use these resources to build special structures, strengthen your survival, and fuel your coming adventures. (New buildings and crafts related to the Challenge soon). But there's much more to its concept, which will be unveiled as we progress.
Horn Call
When the horn sounds, it can be heard throughout the realm, and even the ground shakes.
You can then press Enter to accept the call and be transported (instantly in this patch).
500 Einherjar System
There are 500 warriors participating in the Challenge.
They are AI directed and highly optimized.
Shrinking Zone
The Challenge is introduced in circles, which vary greatly and have a dynamic atmosphere and zone.
It always shrinks inward toward the center, pushing the player deeper through the circles.
Auto Focus Improvements
Enabled auto targeting focus starting from the first attack rather than activating immediately. Also made it convenient to cancel targeting by canceling the stance.
Made auto targeting available for players in co-op mode.
Fixed Recent Crashes
Fixed some crashes that appeared in the last patches.
Deathmatch Servers On
Turned Deathmatch servers (EU, NA) back on.
Additional Improvements
Fixed the deer hooves shaking strangely when dead.
Fixed the bow hit camera shake occurring for the client when hitting the host.
Fixed the issue where the client was sometimes incorrectly seen holding the stance from the host's view.
Thank you for the feedback guys. We hope you enjoy this update!
Skål!
