[August 2nd, 2021] Midsummer Update (Part 1/2)

Recommended Posts

Summer event changes

  • Summer gorilla pet
    • Due to the sheer amount in-game, we've made the original summer gorilla pet more plain colored rather than highly textured
    • You can still obtain the old look (and more) by enchanting a Solar gorilla pet
      • This enchantment costs 1x Summer gorilla and 25,000x Summer tokens for a 25% chance for success
      • The Solar gorilla pet earns +25% tokens for all summer events AND a +10% drop rate bonus for all Summer event bosses & monsters
      • In addition, you can right-click "Transform" your pet between the solar and the lunar style (transform will save after re-log, etc.)

    • Increased the respawn speed of the summer spirits in the wilderness
    • Slightly reduced the base token amount earned from vacationers

Client improvements

  • Optimization
    • Made various improvements to our client's rendering which should improve performance
    • Fixed an issue that caused FPS drops when certain items were on the ground (particularly charms)
    • Fixed various memory leaks that we identified within the client
       
  • Populated areas
    • Highly populated areas (50+ players nearby) will now cause players to stand "stiff" which gives the client some legroom to conserve resource
    • NPCs at home such as shop-keepers also have this "stiff" animation to reduce strain as well
       
  • Hiding other pets
    • You can now toggle a new "Hide other pets (non-wild)" option in your settings tab
    • When enabled, only your pet will display on your screen. For players with FPS issues at populated areas, this can also improve lag issues

Well, we can't be angry about these kind of "nerfs".

 

  • You can now type ::e as a shortcut for the ::event command

Still easy to miss Monke, timers in "compass menu tab" could have been better, but thats something, nice.

 

  • Client performance improvements

Appreciation from me.

 

  • Due to the sheer amount in-game, we've made the original summer gorilla pet more plain colored rather than highly textured

  • We've removed the 24 hour cooldown for exchanging items!

I love these.
