Consider organizing PVP events in Valhalla so guys with fighting experience can show you how they do things?
there are loads of PvP videos they could analyze if they wanted to know how the combat plays out right now and experienced pvpers are giving them suggestions for combat all the time on how to improve the combat, but they are not keen on fixing their designs

  • Made it so that soak starts building up when you complete a building, rather than when you place the construction sign. This is a reversion of a change we made way back in 2015, that we couldn't find an argument for in 2019. Let us know if you have one.
Wasn't this a new implementation rather than a change? As I recall, back in Legacy, buildings had instant max soak on completion; drying time prevented the construction sign from being completed and turned into an object with soak. Hafen removed completion-blocking drying time and instead made objects start with 0 soak and made them build up soak over time. I'd guess the choice of starting at the sign rather than the completed building was probably an entirely arbitrary one, rather than having some important reason.

I asked loftar to post some sort of update in the thread linked.

I'm thinking it would probably have been easier/less time consuming just starting from scratch, especially since I've seen some updates where its been pretty small and reason has been "working on client rewrite"
