Changelog - September 2024

The preview for the next extension update is now live on the webpage. Since we’re unsure how long Twitch's review process will take, here’s the changelog for your reference:

Character
The equipment inventory is now upgradable. When your inventory is full, you will see a + button to increase the inventory size.
Level up your job to increase the material inventory! Each level grants you 10 more slots for materials.

Shop
The shop no longer rerolls automatically. Instead, you will receive a free daily refresh. Refreshing with arcanites or copper doesn't affect this timer.
We’ve integrated the donate menu into the money bag, as clicking the progress bar was too hidden.
The merchant now offers the following options: Sell Equipment, Donate Materials, and Donate Consumables. This ensures you can always clear out your inventories.

Expedition
You can now open the overworld while in an expedition.

Adventure
When voting in an adventure, if an option is disabled, the requirement/check won’t be greyed out. This makes the requirements more readable.
Fixed an issue where monster companions could freeze the game if they were not placed as the first attacker in battle and attempted a block.
Fixed a visual issue with cooldowns. Bundles didn’t display the green text indicating that your cooldown was shortened.
Other
Fixed an issue where achievements no longer displayed the reward amount.
The number of meals eaten in a day will now automatically refresh with the stamina refresh, so you don’t need to reload the extension.
Expedition, Character Menu, Material Inventory, and Crafting are now organized the same way: Cooking, Smithing, Alchemy.
Added a close button to the achievement popup for those who don’t want to claim rewards immediately.
Removed the medium image resolution settings. Almost nobody used it, and those with an unstable connection would just choose low settings.
You can now unequip titles.
You can now unequip badges.
Fixed issue that you could use multiple keys when entering a dungeon
Changed level from Emberstalk Toadstool from lvl 7 to lvl 5
Crafting Materials (Keys, brass bar etc) no longer have a material inventory full check

⚠️ These changes are currently only live on the webpage, we are awaiting Twitch's approval for the extension ⚠️

Fixed an issue where attempting to start an expedition with a full inventory resulted in an unknown error instead of a proper error message.
Fixed an issue where starting an expedition for a depleted resource caused an unknown error instead of the correct message.

The Discord bot no longer resends the connect / get-chatbot messages every time it restarts 🥹

Buffed adventure companions: they now properly allocate skill points into their main attribute and vitality.
Removed a non-existing effect from the adventure event City of Fortune
Adjusted the Abandoned Dragon adventure event: winning the fight no longer wounds all players.

Added 233 level 50 and lvl 100 items which brings us to a total of ~1000 total items now 📈

When crafting materials, you should no longer see the "bag is too heavy" message when your material inventory is full.

Fixed an issue where the Material and Consumable bag sizes were not considered when claiming Achievements.
Consumables and Chests inventories are now fully separated: Previously, if you had 10 chests and 15 potions with a consumable inventory limit of 25, the system would prevent you from crafting more potions. This issue should been resolved.

Extension v 1.0.5 (1/2)

You can now rename your character directly from the character switch menu (25 :arcanite: )

Adventure
Players who have reached their daily loot limit will no longer appear in the reward recipient menu, preventing frustration from being selected but ineligible for loot.
Bots are no longer selectable for loot.
Fixed an issue where the leader's name placeholder was not resolved, showing §leader§ instead of the actual name.
Resolved an issue with the highscore displaying -1.
The number of players in the adventure is now visible in the bottom left corner.
Fixed an issue where players marked as unavailable were still clickable.
Reworked the voting system, allowing for new conditions, such as votes that require more than 80 morale—or less than 20? 👀

Arena
Fixed an issue where the loading screen did not appear immediately after pressing "refresh," which could cause players with poor connections to press it twice.

Other Fixes
After crafting an item, the quantity will now reset to 1 by default.
Fixed the description of the ranger’s Quick Draw ability.
Fixed an issue where changing the knight’s skin color did not update the entire body.
The character switch menu now displays your class symbol.

Glossary
Materials now show their minimum level in the glossary when obtained.
Material chests now indicate when a new material dex entry has been added.
(2/2)

Buffed Rogue
Updated Evasion calculation from Evasion / lvl * 0.0875 to Evasion / lvl * 0.1.

Implemented a new translation system, significantly improving results for German, Spanish, French, Portuguese, and Russian!
Replaced hardcoded translations in the Twitch bot, allowing commands like !evcooldown to work in all supported languages.

Adventure
Resolved an issue where Adventure Outcomes were always displayed in English.
Fixed the "Player Fall" event, which was causing players to become severely wounded and incorrectly displaying attack results first.
Corrected the "Ancient Ruins Puzzle" event, ensuring loot is properly rewarded for successful dice rolls.
Fixed the "Unconventional Methods" event, so players are now revived correctly.
Addressed an issue where the healer effect could revive fainted players incorrectly.
Fixed a bug with dice rolls. In some of the new events where two dice are rolled, a successful outcome should occur if at least one roll succeeds. However, an issue was causing failure when both dice were successful. This has been resolved.
Fixed the decay of material donations in the shop:

Reputation now decays by 12 to 24 reputation points per day (not percentage-based). The same decay is randomly applied each day to all players to ensure fairness. For example, a common material adds 1 reputation point, and to calculate the percentage you can use: 100 * (x / 30000) ** 0.3.
Reputation points are calculated as reputation = amount_to_donate * rarity_multiplier, with the following rarity multipliers:
Common: 1
Uncommon: 2
Rare: 4
Epic: 7
Legendary: 15

Added new adventure events:

Abandoned Library
Lord's Cursed Sword
The Beggar
Shifting Portrait
Tavern Disaster
Lost in Duskwoods
The Gambler's Offer
Praise the Sun
Legendary Feast
The Spirit Fox

Fixed an issue where crafting a material, such as a distillate or brass bar, was not possible when the consumable inventory was full.

Resolved an issue where selecting "Adventures" on your own channel could unintentionally create a new lobby without pressing "Start."
Fixed a bug where the Expedition map displayed "unknown material" even when your job level matched the material requirements.

Fixed an issue in the Royal Army Adventure Event where 2 coin stacks were deducted instead of 1 when winning the dice roll.
Fixed an issue in the Event where betting on a fight only removed and added one coin. It now correctly adds 2 coins.
Fixed an issue where monster companions in adventures had the wrong class.
Fixed wrongly displayed names of monster companions

We now send out a chat message when the streamer is in an adventure and more than 20 minutes idle, so you get warned before the adventure times out.

Adventure
Added 10 new Events
Every viewer can now vote, allowing you to participate with your favorite streamer even if the adventure is already full.
!evjoin now shows the ingame title and name of the player who joined
(Hopefully) fixed an issue that the reach fame Achievement was not proper updated

The chance of discovering recipes now increases significantly as the level difference between your character level and the recipe level grows. [In addition to the previously existing recipe drop chance]
Adjusted xp of recipes
50% of your common drops will be the displayed materials in the expedition overworld, while the other 50% may be random common materials. This offers a middle ground, allowing for tactical resource hunting while maintaining a balance so you're not limited to only the displayed resource.
Fixed issue that the last expedition drop could happen shortly after it showed you collect
Fixed evasion calculations issues
Fixed issue that the material chests didn't add the material dex entries.

Adventure Companions don't take space for evjoin away anymore

Fixed an issue where surrendering prevented the reward selection popup from appearing until refresh.
Fixed an issue where items received from adventures may not have had images in your inventory.
Fixed design of banish and start buttons.

Expedition:
Fixed an issue where the last received item was not displayed.

Leaderboard:
When you attacked someone from the Leaderboard it will put you back to the leaderboard instead of the Arena!
When viewing other characters' armor, the lock symbol will no longer be displayed, as it is unrelated to your level.

Character Menu:
Added a hint in the skill reset menu for players below level 10: "You can reset your stats for free until you reach level 10!"

Image

Adventure

After banishment ends, you are now fully healed. (Banishment's from the streamer will not end)
Fixed issues with Berserk, Regenerating, and Healthy status effects.

Fixed issue that the reach 50 fame achievement popped up even though it was already claimed

Fixed issue that when a fight was started in an adventure event that the both positive and negative rewards were not triggered afterwards

Balancing
:rogue: Rogue:
Pre change:

stealth is 25% chance, only worked against mage and ranger
charm gives rogues 10% evasion (only works against physical damage)

Post-change:

Charm increases the chance of stealth activation by 10%
Stealth replaces Evasion and can dodge both physical and magic damage. Going up to 30% (depending on Evasion/Gear)


:ranger: Ranger:
Increased quick draw Chance from 5% to 7%

Expedition
Instead of dropping all common items in any Expedition they are now displayed before you start an Expedition and other Commons can't drop. This allows you to hunt specific ressources.

Arena
Implemented a protection to prevent re-rolling the same opponents after Arena attacks.
Adjusted matchmaking to increase the variety of opponents.

Fixed issue that bounty difficulty was always just showing one star after a refresh
Fixed an issue that could crash the Glossary due to one item missing its translation

All common materials don't have a min Level anymore (onion 3 -> 0 | pweter 2 -> 0 | Copper 2 -> 0 |Strawberry 2 -> 0)

Adventures can now only be started while live.
Added a maximum daily drop limit for adventure of 2 per player (Fabled and Mythical chests) . These changes were made to prevent people from creating adventures with alt accounts and giving themselves loot. This limit only applies to loot that the streamer can manually give out. Random loot, such as wooden chests and coin stacks, is not affected by this. This should make the loot distribution more fair overall.

Fixed an issue where players could use !evvote E even if the vote only had options A-D.

Adventure

Added 3 new Effects!
Banishing Players now reduces the morale by 3

Fixed enhanced magic adventure effect not boosting magic damage and defence proper
Fixed issue in the event Abandoned Dragon egg that caused the wrong outcome to trigger

Fixed an issue where you could start a dungeon while already on an Expedition. This caused the game to place you in the Expedition when you reload instead of automatically returning you to the dungeon.
[If this happened to you, complete your Expedition and reload the game. This should correctly return you to the dungeon.]

Fixed distillate recipe: changed from blueberries (uncommon) to grapes (common) drop to make it more accessible.

Daily Bonus
You can now claim the ⁠daily-bonus for every character on your account.
If you have only one character, nothing changes.
If you have multiple characters, use the command !evdaily <character-number> in the same order as they appear in the character switch menu.
Each character has its own streak.
(If you have claimed with one of your characters a daily within the past 20 hours then this cooldown is applied to both. Due to the migration we gave all your characters your streak. After claiming the next daily the achievments will update)

Extension v1.0.3 (1/2)
Tooltips have been enhanced to adjust automatically if they would be cut off, ensuring they are fully visible. This should resolve any issues when trying to press the equip button.

Adventure
New Filter Commands: You can now filter in adventures using buttons on the bottom left: !evme and !evhide.
Fixed an issue where evme and evhide didn't reset after a battle.
Fixed a bug where the displayed level in adventures didn't reset after a battle.
Resolved an issue where the same players appeared multiple times in adventures.
Fixed the issue where players without arcanites could still click the "manipulate voting" button. (which just resulted in an unkown error)
Accessibility: Increased the size of the class icon in Adventures by 50%.
Improved design elements.
Fixed a bug that broke the loading screen during adventures, which previously resulted in an empty battle screen instead of a proper loading screen.
Fixed a sync issue with adventure loot that caused viewers to be unable to vote on events that required loot, like coin stacks.

Bounty

Fixed an issue where materials from a material chest were not added to your Material Inventory until you refreshed the game.

Glossary
A class symbol has been added to every monster in the glossary after you have defeated them at least once.

Achievements

Other
Reduced the number of items displayed at once in the inventory from 16 to 12 to prevent items from glitching on thinner mobile devices.
Added the missing percentage symbol after "crit perc" for clarity.

Made some adventure effects more extreme to influence decision-making.

Fixed issue that adventures Story missions could pop up when you won a fight but your morale went to 0 and you already lost

Your characters in the switching menu are now sorted by creation day rather than last activity

Arena
Leaderboard fights now count towards your hourly arena attacks.
After attacking another player via the leaderboard, you become vulnerable to attacks for the next 12 hours.
Attacking via the leaderboard now allows you to discover glossary entries.

These changes introduce a tactical decision: Do you pursue immediate Gold and XP in the Arena, or focus on discovering more glossary entries to boost your XP in the long term?

(Note: Even when your hourly attack counter reaches 0, you can still attack anyone on the leaderboard without restriction - but you won't recieve any glossary entries.)

Expedition
Expedition drops have been increased to fixed 4 drops per hour instead of a random amount between 2 and 3.
Drops will appear at random throughout the expedition. Upon completion, you will receive an average of 4 drops per hour.

When you try to start an Adventure but haven't setup the bot you will get a error message to setup the bot here (https://embervale.tv/commands/) instead of a crash
Fixed issue that the displayed formular to calculate your hp was faulty and when you tried to calculate your hp you had a different result

Arena System Update:

Based on your valuable feedback, we've reworked the Arena System.

All players now start with a Shield. If you do not actively participate in the Arena, you will not lose any Gold.
After attacking another player, you become vulnerable to attacks for the next 12 hours.
If you are attacked and lose, you will receive a Shield that protects you from further attacks for 1 hour.
Players without a Shield may lose between 0% to 5% of their Gold when attacked, depending on the Glory difference. The potential loot indicator will be displayed in the popup before each fight.

This system allows you to fully control your risk. You can either take the challenge of attacking others to gain more XP and Gold, or play it safe and avoid missing out on some opportunities to steal Gold :gold: and earn XP.

Other
Added several new items.
Added 4 new Adventure Events from the community ❤️

Adventure
Revised the companion generation in Adventures:
Companion level is now determined by the group's average level.
Companions now come equipped with appropriate gear.

Fixed a bug where high level potions appeared in the shop way before they should

Fixed a crash when adding the companion to a battle
Novachrono — 9/14/2024 3:33 PM
We clarified in ⁠patreon-benefits that live roles will only be granted according to the Embervale Affiliate agreement ( https://embervale.tv/info/affiliate-agreement/), since that was not fully clear before we decided to not restrict the live role for streamers who stream more than 112h per week for the next 30 days. (The 'Adventure in Progress' - role is unaffected by this)

Our website no longer automatically requests the permission to add our bot to your channel when you log in.

New players and streamers must now manually request the chatbot at settings or commands

If you wish to revoke chatbot permissions, you can easily do so by visiting your TwitchConnections and searching for "Embervale.TV Chatbot Integration."


Starting an Adventure now gives you Progress towards the "Participate in Adventures" Achievement

Expedition / Crafting Overhaul
The maximum crafting level has been changed to 10.
For the first 15 minutes of an expedition, your character needs time to prepare and will not receive drops. This is to prevent repeatedly starting and quitting expeditions.
Each material now has its own level. You must level up your professions to discover these materials during expeditions.
Materials you haven't unlocked yet will appear as "?" in the expedition.
If you enter an expedition where all materials are locked, you will only receive common items.
We've reworked the dice bonus rolls for adventures that involve professions.
This overhaul also fixes a bug where expeditions occasionally didn't yield any loot.

Bug Fix
Fixed an issue where a high accuracy stat incorrectly reduced the enemy's Evasion stat, resulting in incorrect Evasion display numbers. This should be a significant buff for Rogues and Rangers.

Adventure
Nerved event battle opponents

The more players are in an Adventure the more likely it is to drop loot now!

Resolved an issue where the order of characters selected by a streamer for their Adventure wasn't correctly reflected in Battles.

Added 4 new Adventure Events. If you have ideas you can just open tickets in ⁠submit-a-ticket and we may add your ideas!

Fixed some interactions in adventures that caused unknwn errors

Fixed an issue where the expedition map sometimes generated resources on top of each other.
Fixed an issue in Adventure where the tiger_dragon was incorrectly not a Dragon at all.

Fixed the chatbot not responding when trying to vote while there was no active voting.

https://embervale.tv/commands/

DAY 2 PATCH (Extension v 1.0.2)

You can now claim vouchers from https://shop.embervale.tv/ directly within the extension. Simply open the navigation menu, go to settings, and scroll down. There, you can enter your voucher and the creator code of your favorite streamer!

Dungeon
Added a settings button to the dungeon potion selection screen.
Fixed an issue where the dungeon potion selection screen displayed "use" instead of "select" for health potions.

Adventure
Fixed an issue where your name was displayed instead of the leader's name when voting for adventure outcomes as a viewer.
Replaced the unattractive buttons when selecting adventure reward participants.
When voting using the extension, the title is now just "Vote" to fit on mobile.

Fixed an issue with the loading screen in the leaderboard, where it would stop before data was fully loaded.

Our bot now posts a message anonymously in the streamer’s chat when someone manipulates the voting!

Ongoing adventures will be displayed live in the Discord now for Epic and higher Patreon members
(As recommendation: If you are a streamer enable the discord streamer mode so that everyone can just click on your Name to get to your channel)

Arena
Fixed the Shield System:
When you attack someone in the Arena you can obtain up to 5% of their gold. When you win the defeated Player will receive a Shield for 1 hour.
You can now receive a few xp in the Arena

Adventures
We decided to make a change to the countdown system:
We now track the time when you start an Adventure and use that for a Countdown. This change should prevent that people are stressing / rushing the streamer for smaller cooldowns to finish the adventures faster so that everyone can take the time they want to to play an adventure. This however means that we needed to slighly increase the countdown

We removed the prevention that blocked you from joining Adventures when one of your Characters already joined an adventure so you can keep playing on one account!

(Balancing) Luck no longer affects loot chances, as some classes rely more heavily on luck than others.

Fixed issue where wooden chests and decorated chests magically converted into stacks of coins in adventures.
Fixed issue where the Damage formula showed incorrect calculation of 40 / stat instead of the correct 60 / stat.
The Embervale.tv website now includes a link to the Arcanite shop (cheaper than using bits; the affiliate program works there too).
Fixed the village plague adventure event giving you a bad outcome even when you successfully rolled your dice.
