Various gameplay fixes

This update includes a small Recruit rework, and various fixes and improvements to the quests and items.

Changelog

Known issues

  • The feature to mute the sound when the game window is not in focus is not working. Also you may experience problems with your mouse becoming “stuck” when switching back to the game window. I’m trying to find and fix a problem with video memory leaks and client stability problems when alt-tabbing. Please let me know if the current update helps with the crashes (or doesn’t).

Added

  • Tons of brand new item icons, drawn by @arqueduck (Thank you!). Now all the question mark icons should be gone and it should be much easier to identify the items in your inventory just by looking at the icons. Some older icons were also updated to better indicate the type of the item they represent.

Changed

  • Recruit:
    • Rifle Mastery distance is greatly increased at early levels. Now it starts at 10m (instead of 5) and gets increased by additional 2m every level.
    • Ranged accuracy penalty now doesn’t depend on your Rifle Mastery level, and now doesn’t get applied up to 3m distance to the target, after which it gradually decreases your accuracy, becoming 50% at 15m distance and gets reduced further if the range gets higher.
    • New stance skill: Bayonet Stance. Allows you to fight in melee using the bayonet on your rifle, increasing your melee attack by the cost of melee accuracy.
    • Armor Breaker skill can now only be used while in Bayonet Stance. While it still uses your ranged attack to perform the shot, the range is limited to 3m. But now it has 100% chance to apply the broken armor debuff and does an increased attack damage.
    • Base Rifle melee balance reduced by 10(%). Ranged balance is unchanged.
  • Party loot distribution is now set to “Random each time” by default.
  • Brewing The Moss quest: amount of items required reduced from 25 to 18.
  • Collecting Poison Spores quest: amount of items required reduced from 50 to 30.
  • Fresh Crab Meat Needed quest: amount of Vadon Claw required reduced from 10 to 5.
  • Stolen Fertilizers quest now gives 10 Garlic as an additional reward, the money reward decreased from 500 to 400 Rupee.
  • The Mice Infestation quest: 2x Broccoli added as an additional reward, money reward decreased by 50 Rupee.
  • Milking quest: added an additional item reward, Milk. Money reward reduced from 680 to 650 Rupee.
  • New item: Milk. Regenerates 180 Health and 60 Mana over 30 seconds.
  • Stony Spider Melee Shield skill usage probability lowered.
  • Wolf Skin item is now called Wolf Tail and now it has a much higher drop chance.
  • Animal Skin item renamed to Animal Hide and now it has a higher drop chance from Wolves.
  • Spore Skin item renamed to Spore Cap.
  • Broccoli item: chance to cure bleeding increased from 20% to 60%.
  • Chamomile added as a part of the Medium Healing Potion recipe.
  • Old Rag Bag is now essentially a loot box. You can open it and obtain a random item (the list of items is limited and the chances of getting something very valuable is lower compared to other items).
  • Emotes can now be activated while sitting. The character now automatically stands up to perform an emote and then sits back down. I’ll look into a way to make the emote animation play while the character is sitting later.

Fixed

  • Udar Clan Thief Spirit now gives flat +2 melee critical hit chance instead of +2% of your current value.
  • Party settings window now correctly indicates the current state when opened.
  • Loot drop chance calculation fixed for items that can drop in multiple quantities. Now the chance is calculated for each instance of such item separately, instead of choosing the quantity after the drop chance calculation.
  • Added a missing system chat message when acquiring an item from a loot box.
  • Fixed incorrect market types for some items.
