Edited on October 14 with the Known Issues.

Welcome to Pax Dei 1.0. We now have exited Early Access and the game will release on October 14 for Founders and their friends, and on October 16 for everyone else.

You can find more information about the game content and mechanics:

This update primarily focuses on quality improvements and bug fixes, along with some balancing changes. We’re already working on the next update, which focuses on bringing new gameplay into Pax Dei.

The economic penalties for dying have been revamped. The new system aims to improve the game flow for new players who primarily play in Home Valleys by removing corpse runs in Home Valleys, while also unifying the penalties across PvE and PvP. The changes also make death more consequential, aiming to improve the overall game economy value flow.

[Unsupported inline type: unordered-list]

Players no longer need to do a corpse run if they die in Home Valleys (Heartlands)

Grave (player remains) durations have changed:

The following default inputs have been updated:

Thumb Mouse Buttons appear now as M4 and M5 in shortcuts.

Changed the death logic in Heartlands: when dying in Heartlands, characters keep all their possessions, so tombstones are no longer created; however, part of the stackable items and wieldable/wearable durability is lost.

Increased the duration of the cooldown that comes into effect when switching from one wieldable (or wearable) to another. (10 seconds → 20 seconds).

Re-introduced the PvP Victim Slowdown mechanic, where if you get hit by a melee attack, your character gets slowed down. Some changes to the mechanics listed below:

Fixed an issue where the Player could prematurely end the current attack by casting spells that were already on cooldown.

Improved camera input responsiveness by significantly reducing the rotational smoothing of the camera rotation.

Improved responsiveness of the character when turning around.

Improved responsiveness of movement and turning during blocking.

Made all benches and stools in Petra Dei areas interactive.

Chronoseer spell no longer affects the cooldowns caused by changing equipment.

Changing wearables now applies a cooldown (to relevant abilities) similar to what happens when equipping a weapon.

Fixed an issue where Special weapon attacks and Spells would not correctly override regular melee attacks when activated.

Rebalanced the equipment durability damage distribution across different equipment pieces when receiving damage. The core pieces (head, chest, legs, and feet) take more durability hits than other pieces.

Slightly tuned the group experience sharing curves for normal enemies and veteran enemies (skulled enemies).

Combat skill XP requirements have been adjusted so progression speed better aligns with crafting.

Removed T2 rare spawns from T1 Heartland camps.

Benches near towers in Lyonesse are now interactable.

Increased the NPC gold and combat skill experience rewards in Lyonesse:

The gold price to purchase Grace has been adjusted. It’s now slightly more expensive to purchase the initial tiers of Grace, while the higher purchase tiers have been made cheaper.

 Resource item descriptions in the Journal have been updated to tell which biomes to visit to find the resource

Resource distribution was updated with significant fixes to resource availability across world areas:

Quicksilver drop chance from Granite mining has been increased

Long and Short Wood Stock materials were simplified by replacing Short Stock with Long Stock in all recipes.

Resource harvesting and crafting skill buff miracle durations were adjusted to be shorter (now 30 minutes).

Gatherable mushrooms, Canonite, and Ambergrasp now sometimes change location between spawns, similar to animals.

Corrupted high-tier animals are now skinnable.

The amount of Enchantment-related resources that spawn on the ground in Lyonesse has been reduced.

The tier of some items was adjusted so that the tier indicators display correctly.

Resource spawning distances and the underlying system for spawning resources were improved to reduce instances where an animal appears close to the player.

Inventory crafting allows creating a new Wooden Shield.

Founder recipes were moved from the basic crafter to the carpentry crafter

Fixed a bug that caused the Sylvan staff healing to scale twice as much as intended with item power.

Fixed an issue where damage done by staff projectiles would not scale properly with item power.

All healing spells received a slight tuning downwards (around 5%).

Rallying Banner effect area was reduced from 8m radius to 5m radius.

Bloodfed Grove effect area was reduced from 8m radius to 6m radius.

Cooldown from equipping a new wieldable is doubled (10 seconds -> 20 seconds).

Reduced Support Aggro caused by Overgrowth and Divine Intervention.

Sword Passive no longer scales over itempower and is rebalanced to give a static benefit of 2% movement speed and 3% attack speed per stack.

Alacrity effectiveness was slightly reduced.

Enchanting armor now correctly scales the attribute effects on the Character.

Biome info UI placement was changed, and the dark background from it was removed.

We now display a timer on corpses, showing you how long until they expire.

Fixed multiple issues with UI not updating correctly when crossing from one zone to another.

Fixed an issue where player permissions would stop responding for a period of time after crossing from one zone to another.

Fixed an issue where the [E] keybind would stop working after opening the inaccessible Redeeming Queue.

Fixed an issue where a user was not able to close the "Can't access Redeeming Queue" window with the use of [E], unless focused on.

Fixed an issue where re-opening Inventory while having the Enchanting window opened would make the Enchanting window empty and non-functional.

Fixed an issue where the "Open in Journal" button for Arrow unlock notifications would not direct players to their recipes.

Fixed an issue where the Plots & Tokens tutorial did not mention which menu shows the number of tokens you have.

Removed map legend for now since it didn’t support localization and covered parts of the playable space in some provinces.

Added paths on the player map as dotted lines.

The water surface no longer gives support for building blocks. Placing plots is disallowed in deep water. You can place a plot approximately 5 meters from the shore and build on the water area covered by the plot.

Some very high skill level recipes no longer display immediately for new characters.

Fixed an issue where a wrong map preview was shown in Construction Hammer UI when not choosing any Plot.

Fixed an issue where the bottom snapping point functionality was missing for most foundation building pieces.

Changed the text that appears when attempting to build on a Frozen Plot to reflect the behaviour better.

Decorative signs now unlock at carpentry skill level 5 to make the building menu more readable for new players.

Fixed an issue where XP was not granted to the Player if they successfully crafted an impossible difficulty recipe with the help of a blessing.

Founder recipes were moved from the basic crafter to the carpentry crafter.

Made the opening in the Granite Arch Foundation piece slightly wider and taller to make it less cramped.

Some cliffs now have a more precise collision, preventing some building pieces from getting stuck in them.

Avatar looks can now be edited after the character creation.

The player starter tunic has been redesigned and visually upgraded.

Redesigned interface and colour palettes pickers for all makeup customization (eyeshadow, eyeliner, and lips)..

Adjustments to hair and eyebrow colour palettes to achieve more natural and varied tones.

Fixed an issue where the actual skin tone didn't visually match the selected Character’s skin tone.

Fixed an issue where the "Reset Sliders" button in Character Creator would set all sliders to the minimum value.

Fixed an issue where characters' outlines would appear blurry in Character Creator.

Fixed an issue where map icons from Select Start Location during character creation would not be placed in the exact location representing the actual in-game placement.

Fixed an issue where the mustache color selection tool was not functional in Character Creator.

Fixed an issue where rapidly adjusting the Body slider would significantly impact the client's performance.

Made improvements to lobby tutorial images.

Rebalanced the amount of bloom post FX in the lobby to prevent some armors from becoming very bright.

Fixed some hard texture seams of the pavement around the holy sites.

Updated some shadow settings for camp meshes to prevent them from invalidating the shadow cache. This should help with performance.

Updated the red creeper vegetation on ruins with the final mesh and materials.

Rebalanced the materials of the smaller and medium-sized rocks so that they fit in better with the bigger cliffs.

Fixed clipping of the enchanting items when placed on the ground.

Updated Penny Bun mushroom mesh and resource icon with a more typical representation.

An in-game shop has been added to the game.

Added a warning for cases where an Auto-renewing Plot would exceed the number of plots periodically consuming tokens.

Added a feature so players can see & manage their Steam subscription from their Account Management page.

Added account-level notifications to inform players about the frozen status of plots and more.

Several bugs related to moving between world areas, which caused issues such as corrupted active buff timers, have been fixed.

Added new First Time User Experience tutorials.

Made some improvements to the text and content of interactive tutorials.

Optimized spawning to reduce spawn delay, causing NPCs to drop from the sky visually.

Fixed an issue where a bright blinking light without any source was appearing in the small cave pond.

The subtle torso seam that appeared at certain angles has been corrected.

Some cloth wearables got a low-quality LOD update.

Fixed some clipping issues with clothing.

Updated DLSS upscaler to DLSS 4 and added multi-frame generation options to graphics settings.

Fixed an issue where closing the account notification would crash the client.

Trees do not respawn under certain conditions.

The game opens in a small window whenever it is launched on a monitor with a resolution higher than 1080p in borderless window mode.

Tombstones are duplicated if the Corpse hitboxes collide with mob projectiles.

Some Death tutorial pop-ups contain misleading information.

Plot Management: The Plot list may flicker after opening plot management

Scrollbar disappears in some menus when clicked with the left mouse button.

CC (Crow Control) resistance is scaled inconsistently with the CC effectiveness.

Players cannot perform regular attacks when in the blocking stance.

Player map marker obstructs Holy site teleportation UI after specific steps.

Character sways unnaturally when sprinting and constantly strafing with [A]/[D].

The cast bar is displayed to the player, despite the spell not activating if Tree Chopping/Mining/Skinning is interrupted by it.

If you cancel your automatic renewal for your subscription, the in-game shop will still show it as "Auto renewal: on". But the Account Management (where you do actually manage your subscription) will show the correct status.

Character Creator: Hair/Brows/Tattoos/Lipstick might revert to the default color after switching to another tab and selecting a different preset.

Editing the character’s appearance doesn't save correctly when changed quickly after logging out.

Character Creator: the Eyeliner/Eyeshadow Color button may revert to its default setting after switching to another tab, returning, and selecting a different style.

The tattoo's color does not always need to be confirmed to apply the change.

In the Character selection, the "Edit" and "Delete" buttons are not functional when using a mouse.
