I don't think we have any plans to wipe anymore for the 5.7 patch on live. If that changes though we'll try our hardest to relay this through all the communication outlets as soon as we know.

We updated Live to 5.7 yesterday, but needed to deploy a hotfix to address some major issues.

We are exiting maintenance mode now. You should be able to patch and enter the client soon.

Just an FYI - we're in the process of deploying a hotfix. Unfortunately, we have to do another wipe on EKs, entitlements, and spirit banks. Skills should still be ok. Sorry all, we're hoping this is the last time we have to do this. :fingerscrossed:

We've noticed this happening during internal playtests, too. I think it's in our known issues list but I'll double-check to make sure. Usually logging out and logging back in fixes the issue.

8/10/18 LIVE Welcome to Crowfall Pre-Alpha Build 5.7 Welcome to Convergence To report any issues, bugs, or feedback you have for this playtest session, please go here: Feedback and Bug Reports With this update we will need to do a reset on spirit banks, purchases, and EKs. General Bug Fixes: EU specific EKs can now be accessed. Entitlements have been updated and purchase imports should work properly again. Server performance improvements.

Thanks for all the reports so far! Please keep them coming! We're still trying to find our cadence when it comes to deploying patches on live. I know wipes aren't ideal but sometimes we just gotta do them, and we try do it sparingly to mitigate possible issues like losing mats and items. We really do appreciate the patience you all have given us and as we continue to move forward and make our push towards alpha and beta we're taking each and every one of these situations into account as a learning experience and as a way to better refine our processes. Thanks again everyone, great feedback!

I've updated our vendor list and this should be fixed soon.

Half Giant Female is now playable. Harvestable hunger crystals are now in campaigns. These hunger crystals cause other harvestable spawners nearby to become unharvestable and will add some snow and frozen FXs to the affected area. You must harvest and destroy these hunger crystals to unfreeze any nearby harvestable nodes. The following new mobs have been added to campaigns: Wolf, Elk, and non-hunger Hellcat.

Crafting: Added in mega deed crafting recipes and updated skill node text to reflect their skill requirements. Setting Rapier advanced recipe to unlock on Advanced Weapon Research instead of Research Mastery. Setting general crafting station to appear under Basic Crafting. Changed label on it from "Intermediate Deeds" to "General Deeds" for consistency. There were a couple of places that the assembly difficulty wasn't updating. Specifically, when a recipe is selected or when items were cleared out from the recipe. This was causing an issue in which the success chance was not resetting when a new recipe in the crafting menu was selected. Fixed a bug where recipes were sometimes not being granted by skills. Altered stats which appear on some rings/necklaces. Jewelcrafting now identifies the specific stats being experimented on during the experimentation phase. Added new section to character details page for Final Mitigation values. (this is a sum of chest + armor bonus stats) Reduced subcomponent crafting time to 1 second base.

You can now rotate placeables while they are in their socket preview state. Death and Durability: Lowered Per combat death to 5 durability per item hit. Tow Truck amount has been reduced to 25 per item. Increased the rate at which decay is taken while in Combat Stance (This should move us towards decay happening based on use vs on death and is uniform across all playstyles which would factor in; melee vs ranged, fast vs slow attacks). Slots affected by in Combat Decay (Pri/Sec Weapons, Shield, Helmet, Gloves, Boots, Chest). General Powers: Fix for power combo cancel: client power blackout for interrupt powers. Visuals for blackout time on powers have been added to the power tray. Fixing the power tray not expanding correctly if the player has more than 9 power slots.

Blind effects are now reduced in duration by the appropriate stat. Reflex Bows: Non Physical arrows will now do damage on attacks 2 and 3, however the damage they deal will be of type piercing. Barriers weren't updating the max value before updating the barrier value on hanging effects.(This was causing all barriers to always be 0.)

Screen shake feedback should now feel a lot better during combat. Fixed an issue with aim mode powers where the targeting reticule disappeared and executed immediately without allowing any targeting. Hooked up Fall, Winter and Summer icons in Common Seasonal passive. Fixed a bug that was causing channelled powers execute blackout to be treated the same as charged powers.

Dodge power now looks more disabled when you have no dodge pips, plus adding new mouse button icons for power bar. Added hit shake to bow attacks Basic Shot, Aimed Shot, Arcane Shot and Bow Shot attacks that were missing them. Sprinting is, once again, tiring. Reticle range for character targets is now displayed as the distance from my world location to the point the raycast hit on the target's collider (instead of their world position) so that it better reflects how the physics casts will detect range during combat. Interrupt abilities will no long show as on blackout when activating other abilities. Made a pass through all abilities and updated range in tooltips. Disciplines: Assassins can no longer use Master of Swords. Master of Hammers can only be used by Clerics. Long Live the Fighter and Poisoner once again correctly Proc on the third basic attack.

Logout should no longer be allowed if you're not grounded (e.g. middle of a long glide for fae). Added limits to the amount of points a player can spend after leveling a vessel so that they can't go over the max stat value. If the player is wearing gear or has other effects that add to that stat, it can still go over the cap with level up attribute points. A pass on inventory icons for several items have been added and are currently in progress. Durability bar and item counter is now displayed on items in the Power Tray.

Fix to make sure POI's in datalayers show up on the map. Changed placement of system vendors in Shire Parcel so the leatherworking and woodworking vendors are near their respective crafting tables. The offensive missing texture on small houses in the beachheads have been updated so they no longer have a pink portion on the underside of the roofings. The text on hippos “New Phase Very Long Name” has been updated with correct phase names. Added a new “Gear for Gold” vendor in the beachheads which can also be accessed on Live. Added a new “Resources for Gold” vendor to forts and keeps that can also be accessed on Live. Equipment items such as basic weapons, intermediate gear, bandages, and gray/white resources can now be purchased from these vendors for gold. Updated the avatars for system vendors so they are different from our Item Vendors. Melee and Ranged vendors now look like weapon racks, and the other vendors now look like chests. Functionality and items granted for testing purposes are still the same. Removed Enchanting tables from Fort and Keep parcels. Added New Crafting stations which grant Thrall Worker Buffs when standing near them. New stations can be found in Keeps. Station types ; Blacksmith, Leatherworker, Jewelcrafter, Necromancy, Woodworker. These buffs can only be accessed once the keep is taken by your faction. (These buffs add experimentation points, and increase experimentation point caps) Removed "campaign state change message". Mob ranks are now included in their display name. Lighting, Terrain, and Environment Adjustments: Fixed a thunking bug for grass, but more importantly rewrote the whole thing to be multi-threaded and carefully staged so generation AND thunking have no impact on main thread CPU. Now normalizing the values across all splat textures, and verified that the indexing is properly done. Improved look of grass to make wind use pivot, use normal sample so it blends better, and stop the ugly popup/scaling. Updated webbings with newer assets. Various tweaks to get shadows and directional light working the way we want it with Envirosky prefab, so we can tweak its settings. Several adjustments to parcels, such as the Farm and Hamlet, have been done to update them to the newest used shader and lighting. General Bug Fixes: Increased doober trigger volume size so they're easier to pickup. Falling damage after dodging has been fixed. Parent stats will get cascaded down after loading default stats. Updates for new F prompt, mega deed icons. In Game videos should now have titles. Adjusted building placement HUD to accommodate new functions. Changing how item tooltips are structured so that it doesn't cause problems with Unity's layout system. Fixed several bugs in what is shown in tooltips. Added some more data such as XP and item quantity. Fixed an issue where keybindings that were cleared in one session would reset to default in the next session. Invulnerability should no longer prevent stomping on the stealth flag when you change trays. Also, added an explicit few lines of code to make sure you can see your corpse object when you are a crow. Fixing bug in drawing the nameplate for vendors. Fixed hellcat spit coming from ground. Moved the default position of the character creation screen, removing many of the jaggies on character models. Fixing scale on Cleric hammer scale. Fixed shield orientation for Fae Male. Basic Poison Toxin Vials are now considered Common quality and Advanced Toxins are now considered Uncommon quality. Cool new backgrounds on items to show quality AND now it's easy to see items you cannot equip. Removed extra two hand axe from melee system vendor. Logout should no longer be allowed if you're not grounded (e.g. middle of a long glide for fae). Added limits to the amount of points a player can spend after leveling a vessel so that they can't go over the max stat value. If the player is wearing gear or has other effects that add to that stat, it can still go over the cap with level up attribute points. A pass on inventory icons for several items have been added and are currently in progress. Durability bar and item counter is now displayed on items in the Power Tray.

Alright all, looks like Test is open again!

Not yet. We're still working on getting a live candidate ready. Stay tuned, please!

We should be back up soon for another snap test. I'll message here when we've gotten test out of maintenance mode.

It appears that this also does affect the LMB healing on a druid. We're still tweaking values though and would love any feedback on these changes.

Looks like we had to bring down Test momentarily to update an issue with the AI. We should be back up and running now!
