Today, we're happy to present you with the fall update 1.81!

Status change for exercising players
Whenever someone is using exercise dummies, their name will turn orange so you know about it.
This will ensure that you know this player might be really AFK and unresponsive.

 

Panel Spacer
You can now add "panel spacers" to customize where all your windows and containers should be located in your panels!
By clicking the button "Space++", you will add a new window of panel spacer that you can place and resize, to make your setup just the way you want to!

 

Minimap
To begin with, we've upgraded the minimap so it's within a box, which makes it much easier to move around.
This box can also be resized inside the panel, if you want it small or if it should cover the entire panel.

We've also added buttons to toggle different modes, which you see as the 2 square-looking buttons on the top-right of the minimap.
We've created 3 different modes of the minimap, which you can toggle between either using the buttons, or by hotkey CTRL + M.

The newest mode is a free-floating window of the minimap!
You can easily resize this window in all 8 directions, move it, and have it anywhere you want.

Roshamuul
As we're expanding the variety of RetroCores, and making more places for higher levels to explore, this time we've added Roshamuul, which will be a great place to explore and hunt in.

Boosted Creatures
Every day, between server-saves, 4 creatures are chosen to be boosted.
A low, mid, high, and very high level creature, so no matter what, there will always be a boosted creature that's within your range!
Boosted creatures give 50% more experience, loot, and spawn 50% faster.
You can see which creatures are being boosted for the moment in the creature list.

 

New Creatures

• Choking Fear.
• Demon Outcast.
• Energy Elemental.
• Feversleep.
• Frazzlemaw.
• Guzzlemaw.
• Retching Horror.
• Shock Head.
• Sight of Surrender.
• Silencer.
• Terrorsleep.

And our newest generation of power-monsters, designed to be incredibly hard, for very high levels.
These are not monsters you want to underestimate, because they will kill you.

• Bane Basher.
• Bane Thrower.
• Bane Husher.
• Bane Berserker.

Tasks
We've added the following tasks

• Banes.
• Demon Outcasts.
• Frazzlemaws.
• Hellflayers.
• Shock Heads.
• Sights.
• Silencers.
• Sleeps.

Imbues
We've added a new level of imbues to all categories, called "great" which can be accessed with the egg of imbue, which is a level 999 reward item.
Note that one egg can only unlock one group of great imbues, for example, "character support".
You're required to have full access to basic, medium, and strong before you can unlock "great".

Other changes

• Added a new section in tasks for "very high level" to ease the load of the ever-growing high-level tasks.
• Fixed so you cannot damage any creatures in any way while being kick-protected.
• Fixed a glitch in berserker, bullseye and mastermind potion that made them sometimes unable to stack.
• Removed the 999 mystery of godrage weapons and replaced them with the egg of imbue quest.
• Fixed various and random map glitches.
• The list of new items can be found in the recently added list (v1.81).

We've already started planning our winter update, and the next update can be expected within a few months, which will bring even more content and mysteries for all levels to enjoy.

We hope you'll enjoy this fall update, even though it came a little later than expected!

Sincerely,
RetroCores Staff

It's time to get smart, plan ahead, to take full advantage of what's waiting!

RetroCores Staff

Today, we're happy to present you with update 1.80!

In this update, we've completely removed all older versions of protection against disconnections and networking issues.
And we've replaced them with our newest system, specifically designed to act fast and with high accuracy!

The new kick-protection kicks less than 0.5 seconds once you've experienced a disconnection.
It means that the game detects the disconnection before your client realizes it.
If you die during the protection, once you login you'll login at the place you died, and you are protected against monsters for 10 seconds, unable to move the character, so you have a chance to act before "hell breaks loose".
If you die in odd places, such as inside quests or similar, you might be teleported to the temple instead.

The kick-protection only considers PVM, which means it will not protect you against PVP-related deaths.
Due to the switchness and accuracy of this new system, there are no limitations on how many times per day you can die and be protected.
Which is great news for those who want to play, but might for the time have a very unstable internet.

The system is close to impossible to abuse, due to its swiftness and accuracy, but to ensure no abuse takes place, information is collected on each death-protection.

Fair warning, X-log does not protect your character!

Sincerely,
RetroCores Team

Today we're happy to present you update 1.79!

With this update, the following fixes/improvements have been released:

• Fixed a glitch that sometimes made items vanish from the market.
• Fixed a glitch that made self-inflicted damage show in messages as a target without a name.
• Fixed a glitch that caused NPC Aldo to be unable to repair soft boots with time left on them.
• Fixed a glitch in the NPC system that made NPC's unable to have other talkradius than the default (especially important for some mystery NPCs).
• Upgraded the graphical engine to run smoother and present correct FPS to a wider range of systems.

Sincerely,
RetroCores Staff

Today, we're happy to present you with update 1.78!

In this update, we've fixed the following issues:

• Fixed a glitch that could cause the game to freeze for a period of time.
• Fixed an issue where NPCs sometimes took items without paying for them (container-related).
• Fixed a glitch that stopped the summoned Ferumbras from spawning.

In this update, we've also made it impossible for wild monsters to hurt each other.
We know many aren't really supporting such a "feature", however, the recent years of development have now caught up to a point where, in some places, you can get close to free loot by letting the monsters kill each other with their AOE spells, rather than kill them yourself.
We hope that even if you're against it, you understand why we needed the change, to ensure places that are supposed to be hard stay hard and players aren't assisted by the monsters' AOE damages.
Demons killing their own fire elementals will be missed, a sad but necessary change.

We've also added a few new creatures and dungeons!
New creatures:

• Elder Wyrm
• Hellflayer
• Grimeleeche
• Vexeclaw

New Items:

• rift shield.
• rift crossbow.
• rift bow.
• grimeleech wings.
• pair of hellflayer horns.
• vexclaw talon.
• rift lance.

8.0+ styled Corym cave has been added in Port Hope

8.0+ styled Tarantula & Giant Spider cave has also been added in Port Hope

8.0+ styled Wyrm & Elder Wyrm cave has been added to Liberty Bay

Last but not least, we've added a 7.4 styled fortress for Hellflayers, Grimeleeches, and Vexeclaws in Nargor!
Be aware, these creatures are not to be trifled with, they're powerful and angry!

After a lot of feedback concerning Djinns & Postman (Rashid) scrolls, we've decided to open them up for all worlds.
Previously, they were only available in seasonal worlds.

Remember the double experience event coming up this weekend!
We want to remind you that the weekend ahead will yield a double experience event!
And next weekend it's double skills!
More info available here: News Archive -Tripple weekends event!.

We hope you'll enjoy this update, the coming events, and RetroCores as a whole!
We also hope you're enjoying the summer the best you can as well!

Sincerely,
RetroCores Staff
