May 18 – Strangelands Updates and Bug Fixes

Ships

• Players will only get the “You must recall your Boarding Party” message if they have sent Crewmembers to board another ship (will not occur if only sending Players or Tamed Creatures)
• The Shipping Crate mechanic will no longer pull items out of Locked Containers (such as Paragon Chests) when moving them
• Fixed an issue where recalling onto a ship would have a several second delay before players could operate the ship if they were the only player onboard

Remove Trap Spell

• Fixed an issue where the Remove Trap Spell was not costing mana

NPC Deeds

• House placeable NPC Deeds (such as Dockmaster, Stablemasters, Barkeep) will not generate a deed when deleted outside of a player house

Strangelands

Trophies

• If a player earns a trophy (randomly determined, but weighted based on damage dealt) they will be considered the Owner of the trophy, regardless of their current distance to the creature killed / supply container destroyed
• If the Owner of a trophy is not within 18 tiles of the creature killed / supply container at the time of death / destruction, the trophy will distributed into the backpack of a random player that is within 18 tiles of the creature / container based on their damage dealt to the creature / container (this player will NOT be considered the Owner of the trophy)
• Trophies turned in by players who aren’t considered the Owner of the trophy are only worth 25% of the normal value of the trophy (ie. 5 pts, 10 pts, 15 pts for small / medium / large trophies respectively)
• Effectively, players will receive much less points for trophies they themselves didnt do the bulk of damage earning

Stat Elixirs

• Removed the total stats cap of 225, but each stat cannot be increased beyond 100 (incase a dexer accidentally uses an Intelligence elixir or a mage uses a Dexterity elixir)
