[TUTORIAL] 

  • The “tutorial” / “new player experience” has changed significantly. The Tutorial now takes place in a shared world, similar to normal Adventure worlds. 
  • Most notable changes: 
  • new players no longer receive a mount, mag rail, and wings for free (these are now given at contextually appropriate times as the player progresses the new questline) 
  • new players are no longer dropped into a ‘solo’ world, and are instead placed in a 0 Difficulty adventure world as they learn the ins-and-outs of the game (the “Tutorial” node in the Atlas will take players here) 

[SHADOWS ARISE] 

  • Shadowy enemies can now be found roaming around in Adventure Worlds, as well as in Dungeons 

[TIPS] 

  • A new “Tips” category has been added to the “Badges” section of the Collections UI. The goal of these tips is to provide the same information that the tutorial questline provides, but which remains accessible even after the quest steps have been completed 
  • Some tips are present by default, and others are unlocked via progressing the new Tutorial questline 
  • Tips do not give mastery 

[MINING] 

  • “Dirt” and “Stone” blocks have become significantly tougher to mine 
  • To compensate for this most +Lasermancy sources have increased in efficacy, including: Mastery Rewards, Allies, and The Grand Orrery Star Char 

[MASTERY UI] 

  • Mastery & Geode Mastery rewards in the Mastery Tab on the Character Sheet now have tooltips, allowing you to inspect what they are 
  • Additionally, the Mastery level at which the rewards are unlocked no longer disappears once the reward has been unlocked 

[CONTROLLERS / CONSOLES] 

  • Fixed tooltips for many Hub objects incorrectly giving keyboard instructions rather than console/controller instructions 

[MISC CHANGES / FIXES] 

  • Enemies in Novice worlds (Difficulty 0) have been made easier to defeat in combat 
  • The “Default Cornerstone” house style has changed! It now matches the style of the small hamlet found in the Tutorial 
  • Mouse-over tooltips have been added to the Build Mode hotbar 
  • Celestial Spheres upgrade button now works properly and no longer consumes more than one sphere after spam clicking upgrade button. 
  • removed an old POI location that could occasionally be found in Adventure worlds which contained nothing but a hub portal & a friend finder
