November is looking to be a pretty big month for Crowfall. In addition to making a slew of recent improvements, such as the recently unveiled updated lobby, the game is also gearing up to launch its first full campaign.
But that’s only a small portion of what awaits players for the rest of the month, as ArtCraft Entertainment Design Lead Thomas Blair and Founder/Creative Director J. Todd Coleman have announced in the latest ACE Q&A video that the latest update, 5.8, is “wrapping up now” and is slated for release this month. And it’s a big one, too: The patch notes for the update currently span 11 pages.
Although the devs aren’t quite ready to announce everything that’s coming in 5.8, the Q&A video takes a look at some of the more significant changes. For one, the game is now running on Unity 2018, which should bring significant “graphics and stability improvements.” The new version also includes a slew of bug fixes and balance adjustments, which include removing the Druid double-healing-orb bug and remedying an issue with the Assassin’s toxin application allowing Assassins to make players essentially unhealable.
On top of that, the update will also expand the game’s character customization options and introduce some quality-of-life improvements, such as adding a new, more informative character stat panel and introducing a search option to the crafting interface. Blair and Coleman also tackle some more in-depth questions, such as whether the devs are considering splitting the Blacksmithing profession into separate Armorsmithing and Weaponsmithing skills (they’re not) and whether there are any plans to implement more active progression options (there are). For more details on all of this and more, you can check out the full Q&A video just below.
