[Strife and Discord]

Version 8261:

Freaks:

[Strife and Discord]

Version 8264:

As of this version we are rolling out a tweak to the Sorcerer's refresh mechanism, which was discussed first with the playerbase HERE prior to implementation.

What can you expect?

• Refresh will now be broken to timers per each of the circles (0-4) as opposed to a single one timer until now. Each timer will be different, taking longer to refresh the higher the circle is

• In addition we have also added a brand new NUI widget just for Sorcerers: Spell Refresh Gauge - It will allow you to:

  • See how much time remains to refresh each of the circles
  • How many spells/slots got refreshed
  • By default it will appear at the left edge of your screen but you can move it or minimize it as you see fit

Version 8306:

In the spirit of our continued effort to give this old game a proper facelift, we are rolling out a new personal favorite QoL feature for players called the "Players Toolbar":

Alot of credit goes to the amazing @TheMinionOfArabel for providing us with these customized and very specific icons.

What is It?

The player toolbar will sit comfortably at the top of your screen in the middle and will replace some of your currently used dot commands completely:

It currently has the following options(From left to right):

(1) Opening your character description modification window(Replacing .bio command):

(2) Rolling a dice(Replacing the old .roll command):

(3) Recall Henchmen(Replacing the old .recall command):

This button will be disabled until you actually have summons/companions/familiars with you and will

(4) Sneak through doors(Replacing the old .sneak command):

This button will be disabled until you actually go into stealth mode, as its a prerequisite of attempting this sneak

(5) Toggling Walk State:

This is a completely new command that will allow you to set your avatar to always walk without having to click shift or activating detect mode. Keep in mind that this will persist through resets!

(6) Toggle NPC Subdual Mode(Replacing the old .toggle npcsubdue command):

This allows you to toggle the NPC subdual. Keep in mind that it does not persists through resets.

Whats Next?

• Once we make sure all is well, we are going to completely deprecate the old dot commands covered in this toolbar

• We intend to add more capabilities to this feature such as:

  • XP gain toggle
  • Quickslot switching
  • Advanced Emotes Manager
  • Hood/Backpack/Scabbard toggles
  • Subdual Settings
  • Looting
  • Language Selection
  • Settings section to let you choose what options your toolbar will display

Please check out the new feature and give us your feedback! If you have more you want to see covered in the next version!
