[p]Hello everyone! [/p][p][/p][p]The game was just updated with out second major update version 0.4 called Berkmere Ravine[/p][p]Check out the trailer:[/p][p][/p][p]More detailed patch notes:[/p][p][/p]

Berkmere Ravine

[p]Berkmere Ravine is a new zone for levels 22-24, that connects Eastcliff to all other high-level zones that will be added in the future. I wanted to focus an entire zone on one single storyline about war between two factions - proud Gortel family, keepers of the Berkmere Fortress, and evil cult of necromancers, lead by lich Victor Manford. Normally, when writing quests, we usually try to write grey characters, include multiple views on the problem and offer multiple solutions. However, in this case, I decided that it could be a fun change of pace to just write simple, straightforward black and white good vs evil story. The main twist, ofcourse, is you join an evil faction and bring entire zone into darkness. [/p][p][/p]

Mysterious stranger storyline

[p][/p][p]The first part of mysterious stranger storyline is now active. Now, all players with mysterious stranger origin will be able to talk to him and progress the dialogue with each meeting. After storyline unfolds, you will be able to encounter him in the world and know a little more about the mystery of his origins.[/p][p][/p]

Husbandry skill tree

[p][/p][p]Husbandry is now implemented! At the moment, as we've told in out previous dive deep into it, only 6 mounts are in the game, but with future updates, more and more unique mounts will be added[/p][p][/p]

Two-handed swords

[p]You can now find and craft two-handed swords and use them in combat. They require 2 str and 2 agi to use and generally stronger than spears, but weaker and faster than axes.[/p][p][/p]

Reworked tutorial and introduction

[p][/p][p]We've been working on fixing tutorial experience and introduction to the world, to make it better at explaining mechanics of the game and introducting the way your characters are getting into the story. Now different origins will have different starting points in the game, which are quickly converge though. I also decided to separate the faction battle zone from the start, as many players ended up there right away without understanding the game and got a little lost.[/p][p][/p]

Respawn points

[p][/p][p]Now you will encounter respawn points, which will allow you to respawn at closer distances to the action and also start playing from these points when you load the game, which was one of the frustrations based on your feedback.[/p][p][/p]
