Update v1.18 : New Game Engine

Posted by the Eldevin Team | August 14th, 2014

The updated Game Client with Hardware Acceleration is now live, this brings improved performance, graphics and better camera angles.

Complete graphical overhaul means the game now uses the graphics card instead of the CPU for rendering and runs much faster, and should support older devices.
Improved camera angles let you look around freely into the distance and above.
Improved camera collisions now zooms in to walls/terrain (when the camera collides with them) and restores the old zoom distance when moving away again smoothly.
Increased view distance for seeing mobs and other interactable world objects.
Mini-map zoom range expanded to see the larger world around you.
Improved texture rendering quality, with less pixel fighting/artifacts and all round much smoother looking.
Fog effects added to most realms, creating a more atmospheric and immersive world.

A new mount has been added the the Eldevin Market : Purple Cape.
Added a repair NPC in level 3 of the Murky Depths.
Added a new menu that can be opened by pressing the 'Escape' key or the settings cog in the bottom right. This new menu contains game settings and logout options.
Ascended Relics can now be used to purchase Fusion Powder from the Gem's Supplies Shop.
Adjusted the quest 'Arcane Council Trial' so that you no longer have to enter the second floor of the Othalo Tower.
Adjusted the quest 'Basic Melee' to provide improved feedback when you hit the dummy with the wrong attack or weapon.
The sell value of General Loot has been increased.
Increased friends list to 200.
Many abilities have had their ranges increased slightly due to improved camera distances.
Many mobs throughout the game have had their chance to drop general loot increased and also their general loot tables improved.
Potions now give 100% of their healing and mana in PvP.
Players no longer have to manually dismount before attempting to gather resources.
The ladders to and from the Hobgoblin and Mandreke's Wife in the Murky Depths now allow you to use them a stage earlier.

The following abilities are now available at level 45 :

Applied a fix to the achievements "Foolhardy Fool" and "Poke a Bear", which would only award under a very specific (and unintended) set of circumstances.
Fixed an issue where the achievement "Gorilla Smashed" was prohibitively difficult to get.
Fixed an issue making the achievement "Thick Headed" unobtainable.
Fixed a bug in Basic Melee that when hitting the combat dummy when you have the axe equipped in your left hand did not advance the stage.
Fixed bug in Eldevin Kingdom (West)'s day/night cycle to give correct sunny lighting rather than cloudy lighting.
Players who are already dead on logout/disconnect on Trappers Atoll should no longer lose smuggled items a second time.
Reduced the number of times a player must be the target of Lord Undeath's knockdown for the achievement "Continually Grounded" to 4 down from 5.
Replaced the Faridon Island requirement in the Isle of Nasaroth achievement with Palemyst Sands, making the achievement completable.
Resolved an issue where players were able to advance in the quest "My Supplies" without ever having picked up the supplies.
The achievement "Medic Denied" has been replaced with "Hear Me Scream!"
The achievement "The Opportunist" has been adjusted to award when you resurrect a player in Trappers Atoll, instead of in a PvP Battleground.
