Performance fixes

A completely new way of rendering special effects with the aim of improving large scale combat performance. Special effects are now handled in a way that has minimal effects on FPS performance. There is also a new option under “video” option where you can reduce the SFX quality. Additionally grass rendering has also been optimized to further improve general FPS performance.

NEW Custom Roles system

A completely new system for creating your very own custom combat role. Mix boosters, skills, and equipment to completely customize your character functionality. Many skills, and some weapons have gone through changes to promote a balanced system that offers real variation. This tutorial video presents all the details of the new system.

Players start with some common skills and their default weapon attacks. Role skills can be purchased from the corresponding vendors.

Custom role application has a 10 minute cooldown but speaking (Pressing F) to the Sage NPC in all NPC cities resets the timer.

Shop

An in game item shop strictly for services and fluff items. Purchase Selentine Gold through our account management system and spend it in game. To kick the system off, two items are being introduced, with more to come. Selentine gold purchase might not be available at the same time as the servers go up due to technical concerns but it will be available later today.

Current shop items

Regressor - A service item that allows players to reset their prowess (Crafting skills will not be affected by the reset).

Identity Nullifier - A service item that allows players to change their character name. Ten day cooldown applies.
