Posted April 25, 2019 You see the lands of Wurm - Yaga Greetings Wurmians! We’re back with a quick Valrei International detailing what’s coming in today's update as well as showing a little bit about what’s coming soon after, so let’s get into it! Dev news I know some of you have shared frustration at the time between updates recently, and this is due to us being in the middle of shifting to a new design cycle aimed at improving how we deliver content and more substantial updates. Product Manager Budda will be writing a devblog over the coming week about our reasons behind this shift in updates and what it means for you as players. It’s a big change and one I am keen to see come to life, it should help make my news much easier! Wurm Devstreams Spoiler Journal tiers The final generic journal tiers will go live as of the next update (due today) with the long haul laid out. These goals may take considerable time and effort, but these are intended to be achieved over a long period of time. It’s a long road, but you might find it’s worth the journey. After these we’ll begin looking at skill specific journals, similar to how the priest ones work, but we don’t expect these out anytime soon. Looking normal Along with normal and specular mapping for armour is the addition of normal mapping for player skins as well! This is amazing work and really does improve a lot of the graphics of Wurm. These will not be going live today, but will be coming very soon. Also coming soon is rarity on armour! Saroman hosted the “Wurm Online Test Server Fashion Show” over this week and has some stunning numbers to show Spoiler For action shots see: https://i.imgur.com/Pvv7kW7.gifv https://i.imgur.com/fTpEQyt.gifv Community Content This weeks community content is the deed Evendim, which forum member Kaylessa is documenting her build of her new deed. It’s an ambitious project and I hope she continues to update the thread, because I’ve been looking for new ideas! That's it from us this week, the new journal content will all have you sinking your teeth in so break a leg this weekend! Until next time, keep on Wurming! Retrograde & the Wurm team. 13 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted April 25, 2019 (edited) Everybody sleeping? No responses here. I guess that is copper chain armor? Looks pretty nice (without the flashing of course ). =Ayes= Edited April 25, 2019 by Ayes Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted April 25, 2019 Wait, I'm confused...what's new about the armour? Is it shiny light reflection or rarity shimmer ('cos it doesn't look like other rare stuff)? Sorry, being dense over here... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted April 26, 2019 (edited) Is the bug that leads to horses mysteriously dead gonna be fixed anytime soon?? This is ain't fun anymore... we have lost every +5spd breeder already and even if we buy more newborns, they are dying to old age........... at young state. [11:13:11] Your pet is nowhere to be found. It may have died of old age. .... fun stuff... cant even breed that fast as they keep dying.

Posted April 26, 2019 Thanks for the fix with non-moving moving characters; was extremely annoying to see that, especially on meditation. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted April 26, 2019 Question about Colossus Journal steps, i have made already several those. Latest is finished: Logging started 2019-04-05 [22:20:11] You create a Colossus of Vynora in front of you on the ground. [18:35:03] You can barely make out the signature of its maker, 'Gatlin.'. So did i need made 1 more to get that journal step finished? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted April 26, 2019 Wurm Devstreams! Can't wait. Maybe let us know what the twitch channel will be so we can hit the follow to get an update when you go live? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted April 26, 2019 (edited) Hi I was wondering when is the new character appearance is coming out? From the looks of this picture, it appears they will look very life like, I am really looking forward for this update, I hope it is soon Edited April 27, 2019 by Kaylessa Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted April 27, 2019 Fantastic stuff! Now if we could get some better personal appearance choices, lol. I know we play in first person, but it would be nice to put a better face forward for those who see us. I think the guy avatars have a much better selection of looks!

Posted May 2, 2019 (edited) I think that graphic improvement on current engine has no sence. For most people with average pc power only cause fps down. HQ textures on cube models not look really great. Wurm dev should be deeply think about http://jmonkeyengine.org if they want any serious graphic ugrgade. It seem only way and hard work to get wurm graphics on another level. Edited May 2, 2019 by ftoz Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
