Version 2.04 Changelog

Howdy!

I bring some great news on our well anticipated 2.04 release. We can expect this release on Thursday the 23rd of May 2013.

Very important: Due to the large amounts of changes made to the quests and job system, all accepted quests and current queued jobs that are running while the update goes through will be cancelled. This means, if you have open quests where you have fulfilled some requirements , for instance, where you need to do specific jobs x amount of times will be lost. All queue items your character is working on will be cancelled when the update goes through on Thursday. With that motivations will also be reset to 100%. Once we are on version 2.04, we are not able to reinstate lost quests or queued items or reimburse on lost energy and buffs.

Main features

• Job system improvements
  After reading and discussing all of the feedback from our communities, we've decided to change the job system once again. Now there will be three different job times available, jobs can be unlocked either via level or via labour points and the job window itself is now totally reworked and very shiny.
• Quest Tracker
  Quests can be marked for the quest tracker in the quest book. The status of the marked quests will be shown on the quest tracker directly on the interface. Furthermore, jobs that are needed for quests in the quest tracker will be highlighted on the map.
• Notebook
  In the second tab of the Quest tracker window you will find a notebook that allows you to save notes. All BB-Codes can be used in this feature. Both the quest tracker and/or the notebook can be deactivated in the Settings menu.
• Cloth calculator now includes set bonuses and other item bonuses
  Now finally, the cloth calculator in the job windows includes all bonuses, including set bonuses to it's calculations.
