Version 1.22.38.54 – Release
2010-08-16
Notice: We can't stress this enough. When the launcher is running the patch installer, let it run its course. It will take some time to apply the patch and it might seem like the installer is doing nothing, but it is working. If you reboot or kill the patcher process you run the risk of corrupting you installation, forcing you to do a full reinstall.
------ FEATURES ------
Territory system:
A basic territory control system is now in place.
Typing /territory in the chat will tell you where you are and what guild that owns that territory.
How it works:
Only guilds with a keep in the zone may gain ownership of that zone.
Guilds can only control one zone at a time for now.
Each zone will have two or more keeps in its area.
House owners can vote for what guild they want controlling the zone that their House is located in.
All players can vote for what guild they want controlling any zone, this is done via Voting Officers. Voting Officers can usually be found close to libraries.
Votes are counted once every week (early Sunday morning).
A player has one vote per account, but can acquire an additional vote by owning a house. House votes are worth twice as much as a player vote. Player votes count as: 1 and House votes count as: 2. This means that one account can have a total of 3 votes.
Voting on one of your characters will set the same vote to the rest of your characters. They will however all only count as one.
In the event of a vote tie between the current owner guild and a new guild, the current owner guild will win. If no guild owned the territory previously, no owner will be set.
In the event of a vote tie where the current owner is not in the split first position, the territory will become owned by no one.
Once a guild controls a zone, that zone will default to dictatorship rule. Meaning that voting the owning guild off the throne is impossible. A guild can choose whether their zone shall be a dictatorship or a democracy. Via the keep options UI.
Gaining ownership of a dictatorship zone requires a Guild War win vs the owning guild, a keep in the zone in question and that your guild does not already own another zone.
Winning a Guild War vs the dictatorship owner can be done either via making them surrender to you, or by destroying their keep.
Losing your territory can be done via votes if democracy is enabled, via the above war loss example or by having your keep destroyed.
By pressing Use('R') on the flag structure that marks the territory center you will be able to see who owns the territory in question. You can also use: /territory – This shows who currently owns the zone as well as what zone you are in.
Owning a zone will grants your guild one extra Guild War Challenge that can not be declined.
Boss Encounter:
The rare and powerful 'Greater Kimuru' will occasionally venture into the caves of Myrland. Only the most coordinated players will succeed in bringing him down.. Even then, its no simple task.
This is our first Boss Encounter in Nave. We will be monitoring and reading your feedback of this encounter. We will be adjusting this Encounter when/if the need arises.
Build Plans:
Build plans can be right clicked to create a build-site. By pressing Use("R") while targeting the build-site you can build an object out of it. Build sites have skill-restrictions so you might need a certain skill to build the object. Build sites have a set amount of resources you need to build it, each Use("R") will build the site a little bit and take the resources out of your backpack.
Siege Weapons:
Siege weapons are built using a build-plan that can be bought from a house or a keep. Keeps have more advanced siege weapons then houses.
To use a siege-weapon you need to go through a set amount of steps in the right order for example:
A Manganon needs to first be winded down by pressing Use("R") on the lever on its side, then loaded by pressing Use("R") while looking at the bucket and then fired by pressing Use("R") and looking at the roller under the bucket. Projectiles from siege-weapons deal a set amount of AoE damage to players/characters/structures alike so stay out of it's way.
Each siege weapon uses it's own type of ammo. A siege weapon can be rotated by looking at one of the handles on the side of the machine and pressing Use("R").
When a Siege Weapon is being built, it will be flagged Grey. When they are completed, they will be flagged Blue. However, Guards will attack Siege Weapons placed inside a guard zone.
Please note:
This is the first stage of the Siege Weapons system. Siege Weapons are currently immobile. They can only be rotated at the position they are placed. They can not be moved forwards, backwards etc nor can they be dismantled. Siege Weapons will get destroyed each server reboot. Support for this will get added in coming patches.
