Hey guys,
we are in the progress of reworking the code base of the Animation System in preparation for the changes necessary regarding the Community Survey.
Hence there are not that much of other changes.

qb Community Survey
Hey guys,
in the past weeks we had a couple brainstorming sessions. In these we thought about how to make qb more engaging and fun. We think we found the most important ones and wanted to share these with you:
total rework of current “hack it till it dies” feeling
sometimes the player suddenly is surrounded by enemies and did not know where they came from
enemies should taunt the player with a distinguishable sound and wait around 2-3 seconds before attacking
enemies shall attack slower with visual feedback for the player to predict incoming damage
implement ability to block damage with shields and weapons
Regeneration System
food and potions are not used anymore once the regeneration skills are active
food and potions should grant more regeneration over longer time
the regeneration skills will be nerfed accordingly to make food and potions more attractive
Death System
it feels awkward when there is no penalty to a players death (i.e. keep inventory on death, respawn with 100% HP/Mana)
when the player dies he should leave his items at the place of death in a gravestone
the player then has the option to run back to the gravestone marked on the map or to re-equip at his base or use the ankh and respawn near the place of death
Health/Mana/Stamina System
a player with 1000HP can just kill everything with his bare fists, we want to remove that playstyle
Health/Mana/Stamina will increase automatically per player level up
the Health/Mana/Stamina +-buttons will be deleted/deactivated
Of course some of these changes are pretty drastic but we think it will benefit the overall feel of the game.
Do you have something up your heart that you think we overlooked?
Please feel free share your opinions and thoughts about qb!

Hey guys,
we reworked the way the world is rendered. Previously it was linked to the data logic - now it is separate and uses multiple threads. This allows for faster loading worlds with less stuttering. Another side effect of the rework is less RAM usage, so it should be a noticable performance boost on slower machines with less RAM.
Additionally the chunk format itself changed which results in less network traffic and allows for more players simultaneously on a single server.
