Dransik 2.1 - Build: 597.276
A major backend milestone allowing new content to be created by the designers to support the future content roadmap and game features.
With a 100% rewrite of all code across client, server, and editor along with significant changes to scripting and data models a lot has changed since the first days of rewriting the client late last year. With this release, we wish to ensure that the rules & feel is Dransik as it is today. Every game system has been touched during this process and we want to make sure we have a baseline that we can make changes that is as similar to what the experience is like on live.

At 10 minutes: the body drops to the ground

Dransik: 464.242
A small patch to address a few items.
Issues Fixed
Monsters disappear when going over decaying bodies lying on the ground.
Jail is broken - can't reduce time with rocks and time doesn't countdown
Demon Spire no longer spawns monsters when attacked
Shops get too many items and things get slow
Clicking on the conversation/buy&sell button when above another window raises underneath the window
Stolen & Looted System Changes There have been quite items over time that were "marked" from corpse dropping or using trade table plus bugs in the past. Please spend a moment making sure you know the status of any items you are using. We are still working through the looted/stolen changes. Recommend you hover over any equipment items you have to identify if they are LOOTED or STOLEN.
If STOLEN, the Identify skill can tell you who they belong to. If it is one of your alts or someone you trust you can give it back to them to clear the STOLEN flag then trade through a table (or via ground/containers in the world) and it will no longer be STOLEN.
Items will only become STOLEN if you take them from someone who died corpses (or the ground) or someone puts an already STOLEN item on the ground and you take it.
Items will only become LOOTED if you take them from a corpse.
Items that are not yours (STOLEN) will not be able to be retrieved immediately from your corpse and you will have to wait for the proper corpse stage/timer before they can be retaken.
Thanks

Dransik 452.236
Some important/priority fixes and some visual/client input enhancements!
- Clicking certain elements windows will not pop the window to front - Don't allow trading of items that are not going back to the owner (no trading hot loot) - Animating tiles not working along with some other animation types - Crasher - update is being modified while it's being iterated over - Can't loot own corpse fix (maybe got this - haven't been able to repro so see if happens after this release)
The server will restart immediately after shutdown.
Dransik Update: 446.233
Very minor server/client changes here around accuracy and quality of life.
Console 'exp to next level' is 1 level too low
Made the large tooltip 1.35 scale instead of 2
Color code damage types throughout combat messages
Simplified combat messages and made them more consistent
Next couple of months We are still looking into a couple of high-priority items that will trigger a patch when we find/fix them, but outside of that, we will be patching more iteratively. Probably every week or two with content and code changes. There will be some introduction of new features as well.
Phase 3/3 We have 1 more large change to be developed for an early summer release. This will complete the code rewrite of the server which is at about 85% now and allow us to finish off the feature list.
Dransik Update: 444.233
Mostly bug fixes and QoL improvements.
Crafting check needs to be reworded so people don't craft if they can't hold
the skills exp not updating except for relog
Epool not showing on the client
Fixed large experience/damage values showing/visual negative in combat messages
System messages: potions, reuse, etc... is now consistent
Toggle to make tooltips larger (default = TRUE)
Remove 0s from the resistance tooltip
Gnolls are like 2 legged goats they can eat anything
The number of critical code issues is small. The patching schedule will change to less frequent (normal iteration on content/code - biweekly or so) unless something critical is fixed/needed plus regular design change.
Thanks, everyone
Dransik Update: 442.233
A few more code fixes. Still looking at 1 or 2 other priority issues related to code. Will look at some data/design changes after those are resolved.

32,000 Max Non-Gold Stack Limit enforced properly and combine action will cancel if exceeding

Time to time in Pirate ship pirates spawns over barrels
You can only see system chat if you have say chat on

Dransik Update: 437.233
- Dieing without a corpse doesn't give you a marker on the map and then items become looted and drop every time you - Demon Claws drops to frequently (Balance/suggestion) - Should be able to sell to a shop or otherwise resolve the overstuffed backpack without ditching to ground - Gold in merchant shot should only show whats in BP - Hailstrom Feedback (Weapon rebalancing) - Keep going crim on PVE - Can't delete character - 111 Million Days to wait - Demon Spire spawns in invalid locations - Tooltip on equipment not showing resistances - When you control click on someone it shows your own kd and shows them as crim when they are not - Target protection yet? It prevents targeting most monsters I've faced - there is also a visual bug which keeps you poisoned after you die according to WarriorofDransik - if you kill a gaurd, and they respawn when you are uncrim. They start attacking you - Looks like maybe person is able to drag some corpses of a BANKER into their bp? - Client Chat can be on SAY but going to SHOUT channel - vMoved Shalox portal to the middle of the room. - Nanuek is more difficult, more HP, spawns Rune Guardians - Ancient Sword now has a special attack
* NOTE - visual issue where you couldn't see the items > 64 slot has been fixed. BUT REGARDLESS, a full relog will shuffle any items > 64 down if there are empty slots open.
* NOTE - you can sell to VENDOR even if > 64 slots and gold will be put into your BP regardless
