Ane 1213 Posted November 19, 2018 CHANGELOG Peak Performance - 19/11/2018 HIGHLIGHTS Optimizations - The game should now run faster and smoother than ever. The performance gain will be more obvious in scenes with a great number of objects, where the game can run even 10x faster than before. Combat 2.0 - The combat system has been completely reworked. Characters can now chain light and heavy attacks, dodge and parry out of harms way, making the combat dynamic, more involved and much more fun. Building 2.0 - The building system has also been overhauled. Object placing and snapping is now more responsive, predicting what, how and where you want to build, streamlining the building process. Gold Rush - To demonstrate the possibilities of Visual Scripting and the Editor, we have created a new multiplayer game mode - Gold Rush. You can easily find it as a banner in the MP Lobby, give it a try! We love playing it, but are super interested in your opinion! ADDITIONS Reworked avatar faces - We have vastly improved the visuals of existing avatar faces and added some new ones as well. Composition improvements - You can now access all Compositions available on the Workshop from within the in-game Editor. New transition screens - Both splash and loading screen have been replaced and improved New notification system - Whenever a critical or important in-game event occurs, you will be notified via a new and fancy user interface. Vicinity looting - You can now see items you can pick up / drop around you, making picking up and dropping items easier than ever before. New pets - An owl and a gryphon have enriched the selection of available companions - get yours today (no really, they are super cool and adorable)! Digging - Digging precision has been vastly improved. Workstation crafting cancellation - You can now cancel any crafting processes active in workstations and get back all the ingredients Improved compass - Nearby ylands are now shown on the compass while sailing, making locating your next terra incognita so much easier. AFK system - We have implemented a new AFK (away from keyboard) system which detects if someone is inactive for a longer period of time (45 minutes by default) and disconnects them from the server. If the avatar is considered AFK, a text visible to the avatar's owner appears over the top of their head showing the time they have been inactive. Demolition hammer - It sometimes can get tricky to hit one small specific object. That's why a new item, the demolition hammer, was added. Paintable vegetation - It is now possible to colorize trees and plants both in the Editor and ingame (with Paintgun) Emissive colors - The Editor now supports alpha channels for changing emissive part of an entity's color. Improved car suspension - Wheels on cars move along vertical axis in more natural way Water rendering improvements Shadow rendering improvements Improved lighting and shadows for local light sources (torches, lanterns and others) General direct / indirect lighting model improvements Editor / Visual scripting: Visual scripting Editor now supports zoom You can now disable terrain modification and AI pathfinding. These can, if not required by your game, help you get even better performance Added game logic "Logic label" which works similarly to "Entity label". If you set is as Spawn point in Player role/team then random Spawn point from a label will be used Event listeners can now listen to new events "On item added to inventory or equip" and "On item removed from inventory and equip", which will fire no matter how the player got items/got rid of them You can now select all entities of the same type with double click on entity while holding CTRL (works with Add object panel too) Visual scripting tiles added: Spawn entity tile variants which returns spawned entity Character: Force flying, Speed bonus Item: Pickable Entity: Indestructible Container: On close Spawn point: On spawn and On respawn event Color: Alpha NEW ASSETS Demolition hammer Decorations remade to items: Tribal mask (2x) Tribal idol Wooden table (2x) Wooden chair (3x) Modern chair Wooden bench Suitcase sofa Small cat statue Woman painting Cubist painting Beach painting Plate Pan Teacup (2x) Teapot (2x) Vase (8x) Jewel box Flower carpet Dragon carpet Patterned rug (3x) Round carpet Ornament carpet Snail carpet REMOVALS Water simulation disabled - We have decided to disable the water simulation in the game until it's fully fixed, since it caused a lot of issues and potential exploits. The sea will still have waves, ships will be moving over it, you will be able to swim above/below water surface just as before, the water just won't fill in the newly created spaces. You are now unable to add or edit the water in any way (via Terraformer or Editor) and it is not affected by explosions. First person camera disabled - The first person camera was too buggy and not working correctly in so many situations that we've decided to disable it for now and recreate it from scratch. In this update we have addressed many situations where players used to switch to the 1st person camera because the 3rd person one didn't provide enough comfort. We are considering making 1st person camera available in some sort of experimental mode in 0.12. Decoration type of object is no longer present in the game. All decorations were transformed into regular game objects. Everyone who has ever bought any Decoration (regardless of whether they have used them) will get a full refund shortly after this update is released.

kimbuck 746 Posted November 20, 2018 Unfortunately, although there are lots of fixes and new stuff, there are too many frustrating issues ..especially with the building changes and such. I wasted a whole day struggling with the fiddly building mechanics and with the absence of 1st person i had great difficulty. Leveling land and filling in depressions with soil is not working properly .. the iron hammer is more effective at demolition than the demolition hammer, and several old glitches ie with horse riding, invisible ships etc seemed to have returned. Some others have been chatting to me expressing their dismay, and it looks like their activities / interest in Ylands has declined. I am beginning to feel the same way . What is more depressing is that some other dedicated players think its their fault that players are not continuing and dropping out due to frustration. So far i have seen 6 friends stop participating, and there's now another 2 who are considering just "being there" as only admins etc and leaving the game to the new generation who prefer combat, pets, shiny things etc. instead of creating / building.- --which was the games initial forte and attracted a generation who used their brains instead of brawn. Sadly, its now a case of playing the game less and enjoying it more... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sadly, its now a case of playing the game less and enjoying it more... I understand that any change can be difficult to adjust to and I also understand that people are different and what feels right to one can feel wrong to someone else. However, just like with every other change it is necessary to give it some time to evaluate its impact. For example we had only very positive feedback on the new building mode but it's possible that to those who were used to "old" style of placing/building the new system will feel just less intuitive or plain wrong (and it's actually something we always expect). At this point the update has been out only few hours so I would be actually surprised if those who build hundreds or thousands of blocks would have already got used to the new system. Also are you really talking specifically about this update? Because as I said it's been out just few hours (I think around 14 ) and you have already noticed decline in interest / activity among your friends, with 6 not playing the game anymore and other considering being just admins? This happened in the 14 hours since this update has been released? Or are you talking about the the state of the game in general? I'm asking because so far we've been getting mostly very positive feedback on this update... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I was hoping that the demolition hammer would target those blasted little 'diamonds' of stone left behind when digging. Sadly, it does not - meaning they will have to remain in our worlds until first person returns. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Same here: there are functions missing (buttons "g" and "h" seem to work no more) and after trying for a few hours i gave up. I just can´t handle the blocks jumping around like kangaroos ( btw is it possible that the camera is following those blocks ? got a bit of an headache after trying to build inside a cave, but that could just be me) and those fancy white lines that show up while you try to place a block just take the sight on what i´m trying to do. I see there are a lot of improvements in this update and i was very keen to spend some free days with the game but for now i don´t see the fun in bilding any more.

MyPa553ng3r 72 Posted November 20, 2018 (edited) @Aleš Ulm I am one of the builders/admin, that have chosen, for now, to walk away from building. You are right, I have not given the new building mechanics a fair shake, mostly because I don't know how. There are things I feel are missing, that I had yesterday, and worked flawlessly. At least for me, and my 1400 hours spent in the relaxing world your team built. You are also correct in assuming it's not just this update. My gripes are not as nuanced as some players. I have seen issues that needed to be fixed or polished, and they are still here, and mechanics that worked have been taken out. I am frustrated, because I feel that I have lost something that meant a lot to me, something I use to relax, and get away from real world stresses. Also, I have yet to speak to anyone that has glowing praise for the update. Glad to know at least you are hearing it.

bojo2736 1016 Posted November 20, 2018 @Aleš Ulm are you listening to other opinions? I read about the new improved features coming. No idea at all how to use them. I try combat mode. I see changes in animations. But I have no idea how to access any animations. To be fair, no one would join me so I was trying to fight predator animals. New improved 3rd person camera? Looks the same to me. I can't see any way to access the promised ability to see past my own head. For me the grid snapping in build is an improvement. But then I was never able to succsessfully used G,and H. I have always had the slingshotting block syndrome. Picking up multiple items. I had no idea to open up my inventory and look there. Why would I? And I see no performance improvement on my MP dedicated server. With 6 players on, I was reduced to 4 fps at one point. There are weird visual glitches happening. Whole blocks of sea simply not loading in. Yes, I can still sail and swim, but it looks awful. As you move / run from one area of the island and new land appears, I turn into a bald head as trees and plants load in individually. My ship is behaving weirdly. As I was stopping to talk to a nearby player, I came to a stop, attempted to flip the anchor lever. My avatar went off the edge of the boat and I landed in the water ON THE OTHER SIDE of the island. The build system is so different, it's hard to know if it is working as intended, or just completely broken. My best friends in the game are thinking of moving on, and it makes me sad. Don't just tell us that change takes time. Between the three of us, @kimbuck @MyPa553ng3r_P1and myself, we have close to 7000 hours combined. Don't be so dismissive. We are not stupid. If we can't figure out how to use the whizbang features, it is because BI did a crap job of explaining them. Don't be defensive and dismissive when we give the feedback you claim to want. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bojo2736 1016 Posted November 20, 2018 Oh, and your new gold rush game? Really? No instruction except to craft and pick things up. No way to make tools because stones are not pickable. I found stone chunks, but cant turn them into stones without a hammer. Which I can't make without a stone. You may see the problem here. I know we complained about having so many unused mp servers out ther. But you took away all official explore servers? Really?? How are new players supposed to play mp? Or do you even care about mp? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Honestly I'm not too disappointed about the removal of the official survival servers is I believe that they were so buggy at poorly managed that it drove a lot of people away from the game.

bojo2736 1016 Posted November 20, 2018 (edited) Did you actually play them? A lot of us did. The players that came with me to P1, where do you think I met most if them? Edited November 20, 2018 by bb cakes_P1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Did you check the mini-tutorial found downstairs in the waiting lobby. The take on crafting is very simplified in this mini-game 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bojo2736 1016 Posted November 20, 2018 Was there any mention of the mini turorial? None of the people I played with knew of it's existence. I certainly did not see it. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The take on crafting is very simplified in this mini-game I have looked for it. The only tutorial I found was the one that we did for the new pet. It hasn't been updated since August. So even KNOWING it exists. I can't find it. Here's an idea. That big link at the top of the MP Lobby advertising the Gold Rush game? How about adding one for the tutorial. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Its literally inside the game, like physically inside, you have walk downstairs in the pre-game room. There are signs and functional game objects. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bojo2736 1016 Posted November 20, 2018 Inside the game? Are you talking about the gold rush game? Because OF COURSE that's where anyone would look for it. My god that's even a worse answer than I just didn't see the link. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
