Update hightlights
Better inventory and pickup algorithms
Inventory has been supercharged with swapping! You can now drag an item over another and, if they can't stack, they will swap. You can also swap several items altogether, such a sword for two potion sets. It will also handle full inventory cases much better, and you will be able to stack two previously unstackable items of the same type such as Blessing Scrolls (Because having to drop things to the floor was a sign that something was not right).
Also, when picking up items with name from the floor, the game will now prioritize your items (as long as they are within pickup range), rather than getting stuck trying to pick up those that don't belong to you and giving errors, something common when more than one player share a monster or metin stone.
Guilds ranking is now ELO-based
Well, currently the guild ranking does not mean that much. And it hardly ever changes! That is boring, and the way points are awarded is not the most fair either. So, to spice things up, we've completely changed it.
With this change comes a full reset of every guild's ranking (to adapt to this new system), and the introduction of weekly inactivity punishment. If a guild goes one week without actively battling any other, their ranking will go down* by 5 points. Afterwards:
After 2 weeks of inactivity the guild ranking will go down by 15 points.
After 3 weeks of inactivity the guild ranking will go down by 30 points.
After 4+ weeks of inactivity, each week the guild ranking will be decreased by 40 points.
*The point reduction values are orientative and are subject to change.
A lot more!
Well if that sounded good, you can check the huge list below to see the other changes, most notably no collision in OX (meaning no stuck players) and stealth being hidden from the minimap (besides an important fix on its problem with high level biologist quests).
Detailed changelog
Footballs have been removed from the game.
Replaced the outdated item "Enchant Item" for Bonus Changer.
Features/changes
Increased chances of PvP bonus appearing on items (This change was already applied in an update on July 31st).
Improved pickup algorithm: When picking up items on the ground, yours and those with no owner will be picked up before other players' as long as they are within your pickup range.
Improved inventory behaviour:
Full inventory is now handled better, and you will have no issues equipping / unequipping weapons or armours.
The second page will now allow the same freedom moving items as the first page.
You can now swap items with another or a set of items of the same size.
Usable items (Such as Bonus Adders or Blessing Scrolls) will now automatically stack together when you drag one over the other, rather than giving an error about not being usable on the target.
Guild Wars ranking system revamped.
Now uses an ELO system to rank the matches.
All guilds have seen their score reset to 1000.
Removed the delay between accepting the Guild War and the guild war entering a waiting queue.
Waiting time after accepting a Guild War is now 60 seconds.
Tasks window:
When clicking on a quest, the tick will stay there until the quest changes or you teleport.
Closing an open category will no longer move all the content several pixels down.
The Tasks window scroll now works as intended, and the quests no longer flow out of the box.
Tanaka event:
Partly rewritten history, which will now only show once each time the event is ran.
Players with level lower than 15 will no longer get an empty target arrow over Yonah.
While the event is active, a scroll will be displayed on the Events section.
Better irremovable items' behaviour:
The player will now be notified that the item is not possible to remove after equipping.
When clicking on them while equipped, they will prompt an error message rather than ask if you want to equip them again.
Players inside the OX event playing area will no longer collide with others.
Distributed login load to improve performance and reduce ocassional delays on the times that many players are logging in.
Private messages are now preserved after changing CH or getting disconnected as long as you log the same character you were previously at.
Assasins using the stealth skill as well as respawning players will now be hidden from the minimap.
The Storekeeper will now recognize you if you already opened a safebox at the account and won't ask for 500 Yang nor will tell you all about the gold bars.
The Blacksmith will now reward players with two free upgrades for weapons level 20 or below after completing the "Letter From the Blacksmith" quest.
If the free upgrade is not applicable to the current weapon, you can now upgrade other items, but will be informed that it does not apply.
Free blacksmith upgrades will now also remove the materials required for the upgrade, if there are any.
Endless premium bonuses will now display "Duration: Forever" rather than thousands of hours of duration left.
If you send back your horse the top bar icons will be rearranged to fill the gap.
Reduced spacing on double lined questions, making them look more like two related lines of text than two completely separate pieces of information.
The "Slay enemy soldiers" level 63 quest will now display at all moments a counter with the enemies left to kill.
Increase on the Calamity Page drop.
Added a 12h wait for reading another Heart of Dragon/Claw of Dragon book when you fail.
Added a timer to the Source of Danger quest, on the stage where you have to deliver the gland back to Duban.
Trying to summon a horse while having one summoned already will no longer use SP and notify the player of that.
