Update Notes for Update 1.04

**These notes do not necessarily reflect the final version that will be deployed on Live**

NEW!

• Dx10 is included in this update! Please be aware that not all areas have been completely optimized to work with Dx10, and some areas may still require further development.
•  Cradle of Decay – Level 43 group instance, accessed through Field of the Dead
•  Xibaluku – Level 80 group instance
• The Slaughterhouse Cellar – Level 80 single player instance
• Players can now desocket/delete gems in their items by opening the info view of the item and using the shift-rightclick menu on a gem. Desocketing will require a potion crafted by an alchemist. The recipe for this item drops in Xibaluku.

GENERAL

• All areas should now support multiple players zoning at once.
• Food and mana/stamina drink can no longer be used while you already have a buff of the same type running. If you want to change your food/drink-buffs you will need to manually cancel them.
• Alt-tab problems should be fixed now.
• An issue causing server lag spikes has been remedied.
• You will no longer briefly see yourself from inside your head when going from first person view into dialog view.
• The emote relaxed_lean will no longer cause the camera to shake slightly.
• Many server performance fixes were done.
• Fixed the female sitting animation.
• Added some new emotes: Adjust, cough, fart, picknose, and sneeze.
• Added cinematic camera movement when you are killed.
• More than 200 male and female social animations have been polished.
• When creating a new character, the random server chosen will match the client language if possible.

COMBAT

• Tab targeting will no longer target dead players, as requested.
• Characters will now make less noise while using Hiding ability.
• Defensive Stance for all Soldier classes have been put on the level as the Guardian starting at a base for 7%. With Improved Defensive Stance you can gain up to 10%.
• Defensive Stance will now also mitigate magical damage.
• Added stealth fatality animations. Now players will have a chance of doing a fatality on human enemies whenever they attack them from the stealth/sneak-hiding mode.
• The level up animation will no longer play while in combat mode.
• Two handed blunt weapons will no longer sound like blades when being drawn/sheathed.
• The Feared animation should now play correctly when you are feared.
• Players will no longer get stuck in the knockbacked state if they get feared during it.
• A small (1s) cooldown has been added to the Hide ability when it successfully activates. This will prevent a player from entering then immediately exiting Hide state if they were to press the button twice.
• Some pets will now be immune to crowd control effects. This includes: Pitch Pots, Living Firestorm, Living Thunderstorm, Blood Pit, Idol of Set, and Cyclone of Set.
• Fixed an issue where characters could be knocked back under geometry.
• When being knocked off a ledge or similar, the player will now land as if falling, and no longer be able to slide around on his back while getting up.
• You can no longer enter spellweaving when climbing or swimming. If you are hiding or crouching and enter spellweaving, you will leave that state immediately.
• Spells on your shortcut bar will gray out when you cannot cast spells in the state you are in (stunned, feared, charmed ).
• Fixed a bug that caused aborted multihit attacks to not show (client side only) the cooldown of the combo, if the combo would not have hit anything.
• Characters will no longer slide when moving immediately after performing a basic attack using bows, crossbows, and throwing weapons.
• Fixed the line-of-sight bug on tab targeting that made you unable to tab correctly to your next target.
• Dead entities will no longer be auto-targeted when your character faces them.
• Male characters will no longer twist their wrists unnaturally when firing crossbows.
