THURSDAY UPDATE — 24 SEPTEMBER
closed beta · Mir Vengeance
Evening all
Long day on this side. Started in one place, ended up in shops, mines, and the catalog.
We’re 30 days from public open and still sanding Crystal leftovers so the server doesn’t print gold or sell junk on day one.
New client — let the patcher grab it before you log in. Combat and chat fixes are in this build.
We have been looking at Mir cheats and tweaking the server client to try and counteract these programs, however we sort of tighten it a bit too much which led to some combat issue over the last couple of days. I think we are now at a sweet spot.
GameShop — leftover dump
As you know we dumped everything into the game shop to make testing easier. And TBH it has helped greatly.
The crystal database we are working from is actually very good, and overall pretty balanced. The gold prices however are super high, so we have been checking the prices and adjusting the prices of items so that the server is not flooded with gold because someone sold a level 22 spell book to the shop.
- Quest items, ore, and fish are out of GameShop.
- Amulets are out — buy them at grocery like always.
- Gold bars / chests / stamps / wines / cave hearts are out of GameShop. Those belong in the world (Postmaster, tavern, quests) — not the cash shop.
- Potion tab is HP / MP restore only. - Will be looking at postions tomorrow, adding more range.
- DC / MC / SC and other stats buffs are now in Buffs, not potions.
- The Crystal Resurrection Scroll has been removed. We have added to new version of this scroll called Second Breath and Immortal Oath, before under Perks.
Combat & HUD
- You can drink HP / MP pots during a swing again.
- The 2.5 second freeze after a hit is gone.
- Belt keys 1–8 still drink while chat is open (use numpad or Alt if you need to type a number).
- Chat sits on the HUD gold rim, just above the exp bar — it shouldn’t cover the bar or leave a white gap. - still slightly bugged, will fix tomorrow.
- Bookstores sells all level 22 and under books.
- Level 22 to 33 spells should be sort of semi rare, rare enough that if your lucky enough to get 1 in the 1st week you should be able to set your price on it.
- Level 33+ books are in the GameShop and sub boss and boss drops — buying one from the shop teaches the spell, it does not mail you a book.
World
- Pigs and bulls are now now spawning in Bichon, Woomyon, Serpent, and Mongchon — small spawns, not a full on farm. Pork and beef come from those corpses the same way chicken comes from hens.
- Ancient cave hearts have been deleted from the game. The Ancient One NPC at the Oma entrance is still the gate keeper (level 30+). The old Mysterious Stones still work if you’ve done the ancient-symbols quest and you’re in the level band — they just don’t eat a heart any more.
Server hasn't crashed yet - but we are rebooting a lot to apply updates.
Resource usage on the server is very stable, even last night when we spawned 10,000 OmaKings, 10,000 RedFoxMen, and 10,000 OmaKingSpirits, in 1 location. The client wasn't able to render all the mobs on screen, but the client isn't designed to handle that many monsters. There was a slight bit of lag on the client, but the server didn't seem to care.
More update tomorrow.
If you found a bug, have an idea, want to lend a helping hand, feel free to reach out.
