Verse 3 Part 2 - Coming on August 6 (auf Englisch)

Hello Paxians,

As mentioned previously, a new content update is coming this summer. Our current target deployment date is August 6. For this maintenance, we’re expecting a downtime of 1 hour, starting at 10 am UTC.

This minor content update is a continuation of Verse 3, in which we’re introducing quite a few changes to enhance your gaming experience. Let’s deep dive into what’s coming.

New Journal

We’re making updates to the UI, including the Journal, so that it displays recipes more effectively and smoothly, as well as the Plot window and item tooltips. It is still a work in progress, but most are here.

Storage at Petra Dei

We’re adding a personal storage at the Petrae Dei to complete the crafters already implemented with the previous patch. Each Petra Dei will have its own storage, serving as a private storage space for each player. Each Petra Dei storage unit starts with 20 slots and can be expanded to a maximum of 80 slots, with some Grace offerings.

New Sky, New Lights

We’re making visual updates to what we call the “Cosmos”. For example, you’ll be able to see new biome atmospherics and color grading. There will also be a new multilayered cloud system. We’re also improving the lighting in previously overly dark areas such as caves, forests and building interiors.

Markets

We’re now adding public permissions to market stalls. When a market stall owner cancels a sell order from another player, the items are returned to the redeeming queue of the owner of the sell order instead of to the inventory of the market stall owner.

New notification system

The new notification system introduces several global improvements to enhance user experience and ensure clarity. Notifications are now consistently placed based on their type, always appearing on top without overlapping critical information. The updated menu aligns with the latest UX framework for a more streamlined interface. For default notifications, interactivity has been added to improve the discoverability of new content. To minimize clutter, notifications are now sequenced so that only one appears at a time, and similar types are grouped into a single message to prevent spamming. Pickup notifications have also been optimized, allowing a maximum of three to appear on screen simultaneously, reducing overlap. Additionally, both crafting/harvesting and combat skill notifications now feature improved and consistent tracking of XP progression, providing users with clearer feedback on their development.

Various bug fixes

This patch also presents a good opportunity for the team to implement several bug fixes. All details will be included in the patch notes, which will be published on the deployment day.

Premium Status experience

As outlined in our recent blog post, all Early Access players already benefit from the Premium Status, and this hasn’t changed. What’s new with this update is that these Premium bonuses are now explicitly visible and active in-game, allowing you to clearly see and feel the advantages while playing.

These include:

+50% Grace from daily login
+50% Grace from Gold offerings
+50% XP on all activities

The XP rates themselves remain unchanged, as the original Early Access progression was already balanced with Premium Status in mind. However, we’ve taken this opportunity to increase the Grace bonuses, so you will notice a tangible improvement in Grace income after the patch.

NB: As with all things during Early Access, these values may evolve based on feedback and gameplay data.
