The experimental Chaos AI can enter the world now. They are mainly spawned by players who dare to open the dark treasure chests in exchange for a little gold. Beware they are smarter than the average cow, but for the sake of balance have been limited in their cognitive abilities.

They have their own language and love to train skills like destruction, leveling up like a player. They may pick up equipment and make use of it.. and they hold grudges for life, so be careful getting on their bad side if you don’t have a way to defend yourself. Level 100+ players in particular are threatening to them.

I will probably adjust their powers over time as I observe their behavior. Parts of their thinking will be used in other types of NPCs in the future. We may even see monster bases popping up at some point.

Also in this update:

• Arrows can no longer go through corner gaps.
• Pickaxe and axe durabilities have been rescaled higher.
• Yarn will now be placed in your inventory when using a spindle.

There are a lot of exciting changes coming in future patches. A larger more interesting world, and the new client will be a big difference. We will see the end of skill experience reduction as the new reincarnation system is arrives to replace it. There will also be an upgrade mechanic to customize your character as it levels. We’ll be gathering feedback on some changes in particular to see what the community likes. Until I get an official contact page up feel free to bother Ivana with your testing reports and ideas, or share in the forums 🙂
