Patch Notes 07-MAR-2023 and Holy Site release!

The time has finally come and Holy Sites are beginning to make appearances across the lands of Wurm! Starting today,  you will find sacred shrines dedicated to the gods scattered throughout the world, with their locations revealed through visions triggered by the prayers of faithful Wurmians. To make sure you all get to jump right in and experience this exciting new feature, we will be increasing the spawn rates of Holy Sites, meaning one site for each deity should be up throughout the majority of March on every server.

Along with Holy Sites going live today,  we have several Quality of Life changes and some new and improved carpets for everyone to dig into today. All existing carpets have been updated to support dyeing them different colours, and we didn’t stop there! You can dye them 2 separate colours, a main and a detail colour, to allow deep customization of any carpet you like. On top of updating the 3 existing carpets to support this new function, we have 3 new carpets being released with this update, increasing your design options to include 6 carpets total of various sizes and styles!

With so many choices of color and style, are you worried about where you’re going to fit all these carpets? Worry no more! Carpets will now be place-able on walls, bringing even more decorative options to colorize your cozy interiors.

In PvP news, Defiance will begin having PMK’s enabled within the next few days, and the nerf to the Break Altar spell will be removed. These changes will have their own dedicated post once everything is configured and ready to go for the Player Made Kingdoms launch on Defiance!

And now, for the patch notes!

Server Changelog

  • Bugfix: Wrong resources showing in event message when digging with a full inventory.
  • Bugfix: Siege Weapons will no longer lose their loaded ammo between server restarts.
  • Change: Successful actions on  Moments of Inspiration when combining archaeology fragments will now always make them rare regardless of how many fragments are already attached.
  • Change: Removed Break Altar nerf on all pvp servers.
  • New: You can now right click the window header to save default size/location of the window, new inventory windows(windows containing items) that don’t have a historical location saved will use that new default. Window sizes/locations now save more often and not just on closing/logging out.
  • New: Creatures can now be fed and tamed by activating a container with the food inside of it, similar to planting and sowing from containers. This will, for example, allow you to queue up multiple taming actions using the same container with multiple food items inside it.
  • New: You can now dye carpets, with two colour zones (main and details) for greater customization! New carpets made after this update will now come out as white, and existing carpets have been dyed to retain the colours they had before this update (including carpets with colour runes). Added 3 new carpets along with the update to the existing 3, and these are crafted using the loom the same way old carpets are.

Client Changelog

  • New:  Added a  “Find in Recipes” button to right click menu on items.
    • Searches based on using that item as a material in the recipe, not the recipe for that item.
  • Change: Unnecessary columns have been removed to make the mission window smaller.

Valentine’s Day, Patch Notes for 14-FEB-2023, and February’s Monthly Skin!

From now until the 20th, premium players logging in will receive a box of chocolates and a bottle of our new Starberry Cordial to celebrate!

Tired of all the fuss over Valentine’s Day? Let it out by bashing in the skulls of your enemies! February’s “Dark Maul” skin is the perfect deadly accessory to make any Large Maul even more intimidating, available through February in the Marks Shop at any settlement token!

Server Changelog

  • New: Added option for discord integration to enable/disable sending alliance chat
  • Bugfix: Fixed a recent change that accidentally allowed you to target and enter combat with creatures you were leading. Charm and Dominate spells will still be possible against a creature you are leading or already have tamed, but other actions are now back to how they were before.
  • New: New title has been added for 100 in Stone Chisel skill. Congrats Rocklobstar!

Patch Notes 09-FEB-2023

We wanted to go over a few things along with today’s patch notes. First off, we will be releasing the Holy Sites testing again to give it a real testing period (unlike the first which was right around the holidays). We apologize for the delay, but it will be ready for testing again tomorrow followed by a release after gathering more feedback. Defiance PMK’s are being held back along with it while we consider some changes there as well.

On the second topic for today, due to changes with the Twitter API, we will be introducing a Discord replacement. To add this select Discord Settings on your token and add in the requested webhook information, these are the first and second part of the link given when creating the webhook..

As a temporary replacement for server feeds should twitter go down, you will now find an active list of the last 50 server messages at the link below for each server. This is more intended to be a temporary solution for the maintainers of tools used by the community that track these so they will be able to continue working until we have a more permanent solution should the twitter feed stop functioning.

  • Bugfix: Fixed missing tree stumps.
  • Bugfix: Catapulting fences and walls on a deed by non citizens, will no longer cause damage on PVE.
  • Bugfix: Offensive spells such as Charm Animal are no longer prevented from being cast on tamed/led creatures on PVE servers, as long as it is the taming/leading player casting it.
  • New: Added Discord integration alongside twitter as options for out of game logging.

Client Changelog

  • Bugfix: Item Tag Fixes
    • Item tags will now go to the last active chat window.
