Dark and Light 7/23 Update - Patch Notes

Greetings Adventurers!

Today's patch is mostly focused on improving server stability, as well as a few minor bug fixes and quality of life changes. Please restart your client to update to the latest version. For any players hosting dedicated private servers, please manually update your server client.

Server Stability and Bug Fixes:
  • Resolved an issue with casting certain spells, (Fire Wall, Ice Wall, Lightning Wall), causing extreme server lag across a wide area.
  • Resolved server crashes related to the erratic movement of Moths / Nightshades. These creatures, while still annoying, will no longer affect server health.
  • Resolved an issue where taking certain actions would cause your character to grow or shrink is size.

Quality of Life Changes:
  • By default, pressing "R" while targeting a tamed creature will open its inventory; you no longer need to select it from the radial by holding "E".
  • Rolling (crouch + movement or double-tapping a direction) off of an elevated platform will now reduce fall damage on landing. We still don't suggest rolling off of any cliffs, but at least it'll hurt slightly less now.

Regarding the "Earn 100 Gold" Quest Bug:
  • We're aware that players have been unable to complete the "Earn 100 Gold" quest by selling items to vendors due to the quest failing to track the amount of gold earned. We're addressing the issue and will be improving our overall quest system throughout the Early Access period.

Update:

Regarding lowered harvesting rates since the last patch:
  • We've heard feedback from players on bugged gathering rates across official servers since the last patch where we addressed an exploit in the "cornfield" area. Our team is currently investigating the issue and we plan to have a fix out shortly.

Like we said before, we always closely monitor feedback from DnL community and appreciate your valuable suggestions.

A new update for Dark and Light will launch at 5:30 AM Pacific time, you'll need to restart your Dark and Light client if you were playing before the update.

Some players have discovered couple of fun things in the build and we are working towards a fix. However, they are extremely fun in their current state, so we hope you all enjoy the laughs in the mean time. Whether it be hitching a ride on your friend's Griffin's wing tip or shrinking your self down to Ant Man size. We sincerely hope you laugh as much as we did when you discover them yourself. Enjoy!


Patch Notes:
  • Fixed bugged drop rate in cornfield.
  • Cornfield respawn time increased to 3 days in game. Now you have more time to make crop circle designs.
  • Iron Greatsword and Ghost Scythe are two strong weapons in DnL to attack only. No in-game item will be get during chopping bush and tree.

  • Optimizing server performance
  • Fixing server crash

 

Dark and Light 7/21 Update - PvE Servers and Patch Notes


Adventuers! A new update for Dark and Light is launching later today, bringing PvE servers for every region, new Oceania servers, adjustments to Food, Water, and Focus depletion, and bug fixes.

In order to download the 1.9gb patch, you'll need to restart your Dark and Light client if you were playing before the update.

PvE Server Launches + OCE PvP Servers

We received a lot of feedback from players on the lack of PvE-focused servers. We're launching 12 PvE servers across our US, EU, Asia, and OCE regions. These servers are great for players who want to focus on exploration, crafting, and construction without the threat of open-world PvP.

US-Wyrmslayer-1
US-Wyrmslayer-2
US-Wyrmslayer-3

EU-Wyrmslayer-1
EU-Wyrmslayer-2
EU-Wyrmslayer-3

Asia-Wyrmslayer-1
Asia-Wyrmslayer-2
Asia-Wyrmslayer-3

OCE-Wyrmslayer-1
OCE-Wyrmslayer-2
OCE-Wyrmslayer-3

We are also launching an additional 3 PvP servers in our OCE region.

Patch Notes

  • Wraiths spawned from meteor landings now have a chance to drop a Ghost Scythe on death. Now, the power to reap the very souls of your enemies is in your hands!

    Stats:
    Base Damage - 100
    Weight - 200

    Special attributes:
    Wide AOE power attack (RMB).
    Shares functionality with the farming sickle - can be used to harvest seeds.

  • Adjusted the crafting requirements for the Melee Crafting Rank 9 Schema - Greatsword:

    Can no longer be crafted at a normal Workbench.
    Can now be crafted at a Cyclops camp Workbench.

  • Fixed a bug where Magic Defense Rank 2 equipment was unable to be crafted.

  • Fixed a bug where Schemas from the Offhand knowledge tree would appear in the inventory instead of a Workbench, and couldn't be crafted.

  • Estel's blacksmith has finally recovered his clothes and underwear! Talos's merchant is still trouncing around in the emperor's new clothes, however...

  • Based on the feedback we've seen from launch day, we've adjusted the following stat depletion rates. For context, when recovering Stamina and Mana, you lose a proportional amount of Food/Water and Focus, respectively. These numbers are baed on that ratio of recovery : depletion:

    When recovering Stamina over time, the rate of Food and Water depletion has been lowered from 0.25 to 0.1.

    When recovering Mana over time, the rate of Focus depletion has been lowered from 0.25 to 0.1.

    When either Food or Water is at 0, the rate of health loss over time has been adjusted from 0.75/second to 0.25/second.

  • Female characters have remembered their training, and can now use the power attack (RMB) with the Stone Sword properly - hit accuracy has been improved.
