Changelog:
New Features & Patch Notes:Lore has been added to the game! Lore will provide some insight into the history of the islands and its inhabitants as well helpful tips and clues that can be used to increase one’s chance of survival. Traps have been added to the game! Primitive traps can now be set by Players as an alternative way to deal damage to unsuspecting creatures and hostile players. PvE servers, use them to affect hostile enemy creatures. On PvP servers, in addition to creatures, they will also affect other Players as well. Be very careful while setting traps on PvP servers and mind where they lay, as you will be able to trigger your own traps and potentially damage yourself! Performance Updates are now live in the default build! We completed a healthy pass on optimization this build and you should definitely find some noticeable improvement to frame rate as well as a big reduction in hitching and stuttering that many had encountered while playing. For this update we worked hard to reduce our long load times, made many improvements to the Save/Load system to speed things up and reduce in-game hitching, added adjustable settings for Water Reflections in the Options Menu to help further speed things up, and made many more general performance improvements overall.
