Heartwood Online changes
New system: Deeds!
Deeds are used to create larger stacks of items that can be traded between players. Deeds are created and redeemed in the bank.
Players can no longer drop items on the ground. (Don't worry, enemies still drop items)
New player menu accessible in chat UI:
Clicking a player name in the chat window will now open a UI window with social options. Certain features (trade, party) are limited to server or player range
Updated Trade UI:
Trade UI now indicates more clearly when items and gold have been removed or updated in the trade window. Additionally, a short countdown has been added before trades can be accepted
Updated trade request popup to show a timer
Trade requests will now disappear if either party declines
Updated Player Inspect UI to show player level and class
Fixed an issue with muting that allowed players to relog so they could become unmuted
Added a command in Bank UI to 'Move All'
Added a new button on the player inspect UI for blocking players
Added a new login animation to better indicate startup
Added location to character select screen. Players will now see what region their characters are in from character select
Several updates to player logging systems
Several improvements to backend functionality in preparation for new content features and growing playerbase
Fixed graphical issues with several hats
Fixed graphical issues with several mounts
Fixed a graphical issue with hair #10
Added new Patron rewards for December
New requirement for trading:
Due to Heartwood Online being a free to play game, we've had an increased volume of low level accounts who abused game features to scam and conduct other illegal activity. In response, we've set a small level requirement of 15 character level or 15 crafting level to unlock trade. This small time investment should help slow down the use of throw away accounts that were used for exploits or other crimes.
We'd also like to introduce some new discord and game mods to the team! Thanks for all their amazing help so far. Discord mods:
CapnYeti
Koi
Maro
Odin
