Sorry!!

 

It's still repeatable. Returning the first monkey to him is what opens the Cloth Hood of Truth quest.

 

Noticed probably only due to extreme jealously...

The last sentence is kind of odd. Maybe just change the paragraph lead to "The Ballad of Bloody Bones".

Could you explain what the change is and how it benefits the players? I'm sure most are not familiar with the different lighting types Unity offers. The summary in the Nested Prefabs section is great.

The numbers here are a little odd. The lower tier all got a 1.25x increase, but the top three are lower. These would be 200, 250, and 325 if they got the same increase as other levels. (And believe me, larger towns need the extra item space!)

Yay, return of the Skull Sword! However, it doesn't say in the Character section where this can be acquired. I heard it was supposed to be available (rarely) from Ras'al'horag in Ravensmoor, but noone seems to have confirmed it actually dropping. Adding a note as to where to acquire the sword would be great.

Just a minor addition here. You use "sfx" a lot below, but that might confuse players who are not familiar with the acronym.

 

I will add a note about the cloth map being already sold.

 

Good suggestion about Bloody Bones, changed

Hutch is writing up the volumetric lighting section. Will be updated on Monday

The numbers are based on what the engine can handle at this time. We can't do an equal increase at top level.

Will consider giving location of Skull sword but that's a bit of a spoiler

Added note explaining what SFX is

 

Followup: Added more explanation about how we arrived at POT number increases

 

As tree mowers, I currently use (lots) of pavers. I hope these mowers have the option to cover a larger area -AND- that they can be placed on uneven surfaces. Hills and valleys with trees are difficult. Also hope there is a way to make them ping, like a lot sign or something - I know at this point I've lost some pavers out there

I'm happy they come in a variety of sizes. I wondered how they might be implemented - if maybe there was just an invisible post that might go down and cause trees and grass in a certain radius to disappear or if it would be like an invisible paver (or if we would have some sort of tool to clear or grow trees).

I'm pretty excited about the deco increase though, I've been making some tough decisions of late!

@DarkStarr - do these limit increases include an increase in light sources as well?

 

Living in a Metropolis with lots of decorations I have some people complain about it sometimes... so I totally understand. Especially when near open-air village lots where the deco isn't culled. I hope whoever does the performance optimizations can test New Britannian Market and experience the load times - and perhaps point out where the worst offenders are so we can create a guide for POT owners - ie. would using 100 of the same type of lamp be better performance than using 5 each of 20 types of lamp... would putting tall walls on lots block line of sight and cull decorations from other yards etc.

 

Corections:

• Solania: An old woman in the crafting pavilion hope you’ll complete a task for her within the new Lost Whiteguard Silver Mine. The one who helps her will receive a new Leather Chest Armor of Love gift.

---> Fix *hope* to *hopes*.
*************************************

• Solania: The crafting area in the center of town now has uses the Shogun Crafting Pavilion which better fits the Perennial Coast building style and improves access to the crafting stations within.

---> Fix *now has uses* to *now uses*.
***************************************

Oracle and Minions: We re-recorded and processed the Oracle’s greeting because we wanted her to sound a little more warmer

---> Fix *sound a little more warmer* to either:

*sound a little warmer* -or- *sound a little more warm*
