Combat, Interface & Stability
Combat updates
- Arcane Wave deals 80% more damage and its cooldown is now 10 seconds.
- Arcane Collapse deals 25% more damage against players only. General PvP damage reduction and reduced bonus critical damage still apply.
- Sorcerers at level 20 or higher gain a 5x5 Fire Burst with 15% more damage. Its mana cost and cooldown are unchanged; other classes retain their existing version.
- You can cast combat and support spells while holding Ctrl to turn in place.
- New Soul Debt damage is repaid over four seconds. The deferred share remains 25%; existing saved debt keeps its original schedule.
Interface and market
- Updated spell, support and passive icons with consistent sizing and frames.
- A compact buff row keeps the action bar steady. Additional effects appear in an overflow list.
- Optional movable debuff window, extra side-panel columns and a game view that fits the available panel space.
- Settings are grouped more clearly. Troubleshooting export is now under Help.
- Optional smaller combat numbers and cleaner empty spell slots.
- Market browsing shows your own listings and all core variants by default, with clearer filters, prices, offer counts and a reset button. Self-trading remains blocked.
Loot and bounties
- Veilreach Warlocks can appear on bounty boards from level 41. Existing offers are not forcibly rerolled.
- Greywake Arbalest, Crownwatch Mace and Crownwatch Helm now drop from Veilreach Warlocks.
- Greywake Warbow, Veilfire Vestments, Veilreach Orb and Crownscar Greathammer now drop from Dragon Lords.
- These changes move existing drop sources; their drop chances and item stats are unchanged.
Loading and stability
- A new loading screen shows progress through character, creature, effect and world preparation.
- More spell effects are prepared before entering the world to reduce first-use hitches.
- Soul Extraction reuses textures and a small material cache instead of recreating them on every cast.
- Improved local troubleshooting reports help investigate freezes and memory pressure. Black-screen issues are still being investigated.
- Updated Orvet application icon and launcher website link to playorvet.com.
- The new launcher's independent memory diagnostics require downloading the updated launcher. A normal game-content update does not replace an older launcher executable.
This remains a playtest. Please report your class, spell, location and whether a hitch occurs on the first cast or repeatedly.
