Ylands February 24, 2023 Update Patch Notes

Upcoming changes and fixes

• Make the combat in the game more entertaining and balanced.
• The AI is now much more responsive, with larger zones where it can hit players.
• Players can no longer easily confuse the enemy by running through it when it attacks or just jumping on a bush and attacking from above.
• Enemies also respond much better to players’ repositioning and are able to change attack angles fluently.
• Spamming dodge and jump attacks will no longer be the way to conquer.
  • Although spamming dodge will no longer stun the player, one cannot dodge as often as before.
  • Also, jump attack damage will be significantly lowered, and enemies should be able to attack you even when players jump above them.
• The formula for counting damage is changing.
  • Previously, it was using simple (INCOMING DAMAGE) – (TOTAL ARMOR RESIST) = (DAMAGE RECEIVED), which was balanced to the era when Ylands used difficulty tiers and no map traveling.
  • Thus combat mathematics had to adapt to the new systems of difficulty scaling by biomes.
  • The new formula is based on percental damage reduction, a system of vulnerabilities and resistances, which players will be able to explore by themselves while fighting enemies all around the biomes.
  • The new combat mathematics is a much more balanced and balanceable (in the future) system, where it makes sense to use every protective gear players can get while still being able to fight across resource tiers and no longer being invincible like in the previous case of Guardian Armor.
• There are hints of minor tweaks, renaming, balance changes, and new weapons, armor, and enemies.

Damage Types

• Ghosts will resist physical damage, and wood-based golems are vulnerable to fire.
• Players will have more access to various damage-type weapons and armor, and utilizing those will be much more difficult.
  • That doesn’t mean one brings five weapons and three armor sets while adventuring.
  • It means that one gets a reward with much easier combat.
  • When they learn what themed enemies do and how they can prepare for them, like grabbing some fire-based weapons when going to loot some Temperate encounters in the night.
