- Fleeing creatures should now update their headings to move away from the player during a chase.
- Fleeing creatures should now collide.
- Creatures should now flee again if confronted while they are returning.

Combat:
- Fixed so that you now can aim your melee-attack from mounts up or down rather than just hitting people on the side of you.
- Fixed Shield-Bash hit-detection.
- Fists will no longer sporadically block when moving around.

Skills:
- You should no longer receive skill gain in Mounted Combat when not mounted.
- You should no longer receive skill gain in Bows when shooting at houses.
- You should no longer receive skill gain in Creature Control when attacking your own pet.

Housing:
- House chests will no longer permanently lock themselves when beginning construction of a new tier.
- House chests are no longer accessible from outside the houses and through the walls.

Art & Sound:
- Fixed Collision issues with Nereb Madgulu.
- You no longer hear the "breathing"-sound when you run out of stamina while swimming, or underwater.
- Players and creatures will not be lit by the outside light when deep inside the caves/tunnels anymore.
- Several static torches removed from the caves.
- Fixed mesh errors on the Morin Khur bridge which caused some objects on it to appear transparent.
- Players should no longer get stuck behind the tower near Fabernum.

- There were bridges in DF, but we never charged a toll to cross them. What are you going to ask people to do? - Stand at a bridge all day long, waiting for someone to come along and pay, when they can just cross a river instead?

Can't swim if you're wearing armour or carrying alot of weight in general and can't swim with a caravan.

We could try and find a house spot next to a bridge and keep a look out.

Except in MO you can't swim with any sort of metal armor on and taking it off takes like 3 seconds per piece.

My hope is that they will make stricter limitations on swimming. That way there will be true use for bridges, and lightly armored scouts.

Isn't already strict from what the other guys said? Having to take off each piece for 3seconds, or put them on for whatever timer, to be able to swim, and you still can't have too much stuff on you when you swim across. That's fairly realistic to me.

Only thing more they could put in would be endurance cost for swimming. Makes it so people still can't go all that far at once. This would make smaller boats and rafts really damned useful when attacking coastal targets.

If they don't pay and take the river way, two water niggerniggerniggerniggerniggers will run up and kill them.

Or two vampires.

i like how you fags think bridges can only be used to span moving bodies of water.

Yeah, just that most of them do, also that one has to keep in mind that all these bridges are already in place. We don't get to decide where they are, only what material they're made out of, be it stone or smoke.

Well yeah. Still pretty cool we have to make them our selves though. I hope it takes a really communal effort to do so.

It's a common fact that homosexuals have very little knowledge on the uses of bridges and about their construction.

yeah, but its alot harder to hide under a bridge thats got a massive hole under it and not just water.

unless you plan on just hanging on the bridge to get your pay.. how non RP is that?

fuck.

I think this patch is up. The character creation is totally redone. Can have surnames and theres a log out timer. As far as I have got so far.
