The 'Weekly Patch Update' continues with further details regarding the 1.7 Patch.
========
Release
========
Due to the extended building and testing time needed for the Mystdale Castle Hotfix (also known as, version 1.66), we have been forced to move the release of the 1.7 patch back. After version 1.66 is released, we do not expect to release any further patches until 1.7 is fully tested and ready for release.
It is much more time consuming to build lots of Hotfixes than it is to do a complete patch. Therefore, after the release of the Mystdale Castle Hotfix we will be solely dedicating ourselves to completing version 1.7.
=================
What to expect in 1.7
=================
Here is a brief introduction of what to expect in version 1.7:
- New netcode
- Fix for the players who have been experiencing problems with routers
- Fix for any quest bugs which still exist
- Removal of exploits
- Multiplayer Trade Window
- Lobby Improvements
There are further updates planned which have not yet been clarified. We will unveil what these are in the future.
=========
Balancing
=========
- item drop rates
- item classes are being re-worked
- item attributes are being re-worked
- individual characters
- specific skills
More precise details will be available as the 1.7 project progresses.
