Next Patch Features Announced

The Darkfall: Unholy Wars site has been updated with a preview of some of the features that will be arriving with the next patch currently scheduled to be released the last week in February. Among other things, the Clan Perks system will be introduced that is based on the Play Perks system. Clan Perks will utilize the Dominion currency, something Aventurine calls an "underused currency".

Instant travel is being removed from the game for all intents and purposes. The team says that the instant travel system makes the world feel underpopulated since players can jet from one location to another. As a result, the "summon friend" and rune stones are both being taken out of the game ostensibly increasing the amount of player travel throughout the game world. Players will have portal shards and rune stones turned into a crafting material in order to create a teleportation rune that will be accessible once every thirty minutes.

Mounts will have new advantages and disadvantages applied to them along with a variety of cost options. Each mount will have tiers applied to it as well. Lastly, mount attributes will be altered including "health, attack damage, speed and carrying capacity."

There are also snippets of information about Leaderboards, Dynamic Events and Combat Monitoring. All can be read on the Darkfall: Unholy Wars site.
