Characters#
- Aldermere is in open alpha. Character progress will be reset when the game launches on Steam
- Earn any XP before then to become an Alpha Tester and keep it after the reset: a teal shield by your name, the First Light trim and an Alpha Tester Cape from Seraphine Thistle in Fallhaven
- Character select shows whether you've qualified
- New Examine on players
Bank#
- 64 → 80 slots
Combat#
- Enemy health bars show threat. Lavender with an eye: it's on you. Amber with an arrow: you're close to pulling it
- Boss bars show your Threat %
- Spears reach further than other melee weapons
- Lowland and Mountain Trolls reach further
Gathering#
- Trees, rocks, fishing spots and red mushrooms well below your level last up to five times longer before depleting
Stations#
- Anvil lists recipes by metal; Workbench, Fletching and Spinning by 10-level tier
- Skill unlock rows show batch size and tool. Hover for Ingredients
- Fletching unlocks split into Bows, Shafts and Arrows
Interface#
- Body timer under the minimap counts down your soonest corpse. Click it for the World Map
- Your corpse is a red pin on the minimap, held at the edge to point the way
Settings#
- Low, Med and High shadows are cheaper: world shadows are reused until the sun moves or you travel
- Each shadow level says what it shows. High adds swaying tree shadows
- Potato no longer uses VSync, so it stops dropping from 60 to 30 fps
- New Test my PC button in Graphics: measures what each setting costs and suggests a mix
Mounts#
- Capes drape over your horse; weapons and shields are put away while riding
Fixes#
