Outlands Patch July 12, 2024

Outlands Patch July 3, 2024 is an update for Outlands.

This patch introduces changes to Poisoning mechanics, including hidden player interactions and creature resistance minimums, adjusts creature special resistances and armor/magic resist minimums, fixes issues with Aspects, creature spawns, Achievements, Explosion Potions, Archeology Desks, Mastery Chains, and rebalances Time Dungeon monsters, Runes, and Relics.

Poison

• The TasteID skill will no longer reduce a target creature's Poison Resistance (TasteID will still continue to increase Poison Damage as normal, and players can still reduce Poison Resistance through Poison Kit upgrades / Mastery Chain Links, etc).
• Most creatures with Poison Resistance will now have a Minimum Poison Resistance that they cannot be reduced below with effects (will typically be 1/4th of their normal Poison Resistance, but may be higher for harder content and Bosses).

Hidden Players

• If a player is Hidden and they currently have Poison effects active on multiple creatures, each time a Poison Tick occurs on one of those creatures it will have a (33% * (Total Creatures Poisoned - 1)) chance to resolve the poison's damage as Lesser Poison instead of their actual poison level.

Example

• Player A is hidden and has a single creature poisoned: poison ticks on that creature will resolve as normal.
• Player B is hidden and currently has 3 different creatures poisoned: each of those creatures will have a ((3 - 1) * 33%) = 66% chance when resolving poison ticks to resolve their damage as Lesser Poison.

Creature Special Resistance

• Higher level creatures (and most Bosses) may now have Special Resistance which provides them with a varying chance to ignore Disease or Bleed ticks.

Creature Armor Minimums

• A number of creatures may now have an Armor Minimum which is the minimum value their Armor Rating can be reduced to by player or follower effects such as "Pierce".
• If a creature does have an Armor Minimum, any mechanic that normally would trigger when the creature's Armor Rating is lowered to 0 or below (such as the Macing Weapon Special) will instead trigger if their Armor is reduced to their Armor Minimum.
• Any Melee Attack that Ignores Armor on a creature will resolve damage using the creature's Armor Minimum.
• Tamed or Summoned Followers will not have Armor Minimums.

Creature Magic Resist Minimums

• A number of creatures may now have a Magic Resist Minimum which is the minimum value their Magic Resist can be reduced to by player or follower effects such as "Hex".
• If a creature does have a Magic Resist Minimum, any mechanic that normally would trigger when the creature's Magic Resist is lowered to 0 or below will instead trigger if their Magic Resist is reduced to their Magic Resist Minimum.
• Any Spellcast that Ignores Magic Resist on a creature will resolve damage using the creature's Magic Resist Minimum.
• Tamed or Summoned Followers will not have Magic Resist Minimums.

Aspects

• Fixed an issue that was causing Ground Trap detonations to not trigger Aspect Weapon/Spellbook Specials for the Gadget Aspect.

Creature Spawns

• Fixed an issue that was causing a number of Wilderness creatures to spawn inside of player houses/courtyards.

Achievements

• Players can now qualify for Server Firsts for Redline Trophies.
• Netherzone Trophies should now correctly appear as a category in the Trophies page for Achievements (their data was being tracked, just not displaying the entries in the Achievements menu).
• Fixed an issue with a number of Antiquity Registrations not applying towards Mythical Achievements.

Explosion Potions

• Drastically reduced the damage that Explosion Potions will inflict on Ships.

Archeology Desks

• Players must now be a co-owner of a house in order to Add/Remove/Assemble any Fossil Collections at an Archeology Desk.

Mastery Chain Links

• Fixed an issue where Follower Damage Resistance Mastery Chain Links would not grant their full benefit.
