V Rising has hit its 1.0 launch, which means a chunky, new patch.
After a fairly lengthy stay in early access, developer Stunlock Studios' open-world survival game V Rising has hit its 1.0 release. That's exciting news for the studio and its fans, and the team has released a chunky patch to celebrate.
This is one of the largest patches V Rising has received, adding everything from a new zone to the addition of new dynamic events that will keep players on their toes. Again, the list of patch notes is staggering as you scroll through, so expect to see substantial changes the next time you log into V Rising. The new biome is called the Ruins of Mortium, and Stunlock describes it as the land"where an ancient evil stirs." There, players will come across several new bosses, including top generals from Dracula's Court. Stunlock has also added new difficulty options, providing players with an easy way to craft the experience they want from V Rising. There's also gamepad support, something Stunlock has been working on as it gets ready to release the PlayStation 5 version of the game later this year. Of course, players will also find new magic types and weapons, along with a massive list of bug fixes and improvements. Below, you'll find the full patch notes for the 1.0 Update. V Rising is available now on PC and is coming to PS5 later this year.When we did our first major update for Secrets of Gloomrot, we shared a fun statistic about how many project code revisions we'd made in total. Up to the Early Access release, there were around 43,000, and then we added another 14,000 during that year of development to bring us to our first major update with a total of 57,000. Today, after one more year, we sit at about 80,000 revisions total. While the measurement of one revision can be highly variable, the scale might give you some idea of the amount of effort that has gone into overhauling our engine, updating our systems, and bringing you the complete V Rising experience we have dreamed of delivering since we first started working on this game around 5 years ago. With 23,000 more revisions carved into the obelisk of our dark sorcerous project, we are proud to deliver to you the details of our latest update, our ascension from Early Access into a fully-fledged, promised, long-foretold, 1.0 release! Below, you'll find the full patch notes, collected and organized to the best of our ability. A few little things might be missed here and there in those 23,000 revisions, but this should give a solid idea of the changes you'll be experiencing. Be aware that there WILL BE SPOILERS in these patch notes. You may want to avoid any extremely detailed lists contained here, but in general, it will be very difficult to avoid spoiling anything. TechnicalThe game has had a major engine update and is now running on Unity 2022 compared to Unity 2020 . Read more about DOTS here: https://unity.com/dots.

Now, using nothing more than a little Vampire magic, you can move from any plot in the world to any other available one by laying down the framework and pressing a button!

Some refinement recipes can only be processed using an advanced refinement station.New Structures and DecorationsYour lair reflects your inner Vampire!

Immerse yourself as familiar music echoes through the corridors of your castle. Change your castle music to one of the many themes that can be found in the world. Specialized ContainersBookcases and stashes have been reworked into holding specific types of items , rather than featuring general inventories. New additional stashes have also been added based on this change. Players can directly transfer items of select categories into these stashes using the"quick send" command. Pillar and Wall placementsSome structures placed on pillars and walls can now be placed on top of one another. Torches, for example may be placed on the lower end of the pillar while ornaments such as a gargoyle can be placed on the higher end of the pillar. CoffinsYou now regain health when sleeping in your coffin as long as you are not flagged for pvp combat. Chairs & SofasChairs and sofas can now be interacted with, allowing players to sit down on chairs and lay down on sofas.New Recipe – Refine 12x Stygian Shards to 1x Greater Stygian Shard New Castle StructuresStations added: Level 2 Level 3 Level 4 Level 5 Spells, Weapons & ArmorSpells, Weapons, and Jewels have been tweaked and tuned. There are two new Weapon Types: the Longbow and the Whip. Ancestral Weapons and how to obtain them have been changed."Rare" ancestral weapons drop at a lower rate from V Bloods and at a higher rate from Incursion Events at level 57 in Ruins of Mortium."Epic" tier weapons only drop from level 80+ Incursion events in Ruins of Mortium . A new legendary tier of item has been added that also drops in Ruins of Mortium but with a low drop chance. These are named weapons with unique weapon modifications but have the same item level as epic weapons. Unlocking SpellsV Bloods no longer unlocks a specific spell but rather unlocks a spell point for a specific school and tier, allowing for more player choice as you make progress. PassivesPlayers may now unlock passive buffs boosting the power of your vampire further. There are 18 passives in total connected to the 6 different spell schools. Players may unlock all passives, and similar to the research desk, players may collectively unlock these within their clan. Aim Feedback UpdateAll visual indicators for aiming spells have been updated with new visuals along with additional shapes and forms for the Gamepad. Ancestral ForgeRare weapons may now be upgraded up to level 26 using the Ancestral Forge making rare items more meaningful up until players are able to obtain epic tier weapons. Magic Sources UpdateMagic sources now have fewer attribute bonuses but have on-hit effects instead, playing into each spell school starting from tier 6. Armor Sets & Armor CustomizationEach sub-tier of armor now have four different sets, each with its own stats, set-bonuses, and visuals. Players may now also customize their armor set. You may replace the visuals of your equipped armor with any other piece that you have access to, and you can change the color-palette of each item.Attribute UpdatesCooldown reduction has been reworked into"increased cooldown rate" for spells, weapons, and ultimates. Cooldown rate increases the rate at which cooldowns are refreshed, i.e. 100% increased cooldown rate means that your cooldowns refresh 100% faster – equivalent to 50% cooldown reduction. General Attribute Scaling AdjustmentsReduced the general physical damage scaling on weapons and increased it on spell damage. Late-tier weapons now gain less physical power, while magic sources more. Since there is a level difference primarily in end game between weapons and magic sources this change should close the gap between them and thus generally make spells slightly stronger and physical attacks slightly weaker. Players now receive 15-25% more maximum health from armor and PvE units deal 15-25% more damage to effectively reduce the time to kill in PvP scenarios. The increase in health/damage is increased more towards endgame than early game. Healing and Life Leech has been boosted on spells and effects that heal based on spell power to ensure that this change does not affect the power of healing spells. Note: that healing/leech has not been buffed in general, which could be the perception when reading the detailed spell changes. Legendary JewelsLegendary jewels with 4 spell mods may now drop from end-game bosses and Rift Incursion events.Spell and Ability ChangesJewelsMany jewel effects have been tweaked, replaced, added, or removed for balance purposes or for spells that have been reworked. Generally, many consume spell school debuff jewels have been reworked to instead apply the bonus effect without consuming the debuff. Veils All veils now grant 5% maximum healing on the following M1 on top of spell school unique effects. This change should make all veils more viable as the life leech component from veil of blood was unmatched in most scenarios. Blood SchoolSchool Specific Effect – Leech Leech the life force from your enemies for 5s. Physical attacks restore 10% of damage dealt against Leeched enemies.Projectile damage reduced to 170% from 180%.Movement speed reduced to 15% from 25%.Changes to how leech, healing, and some spell jewels were calculated, these changes drastically reduce self-healing with some combinations of jewel mods.Crimson BeamSelf Healing increased to 75% from 25%.Ignite your enemies with chaos flames, dealing 50% magic damage over 5s.AftershockCooldown reduced to 9s from 10sBlock melee and projectile attacks in front of you for 2s.
