The Lunar Festival Event
The Lunar New Year comes but once a year, and it has finally arrived in Soulbound! Virelda is preparing for a grand Lunar Festival to welcome the Year of the Snake; paper lanterns and the buzz of the festivities hang in the air, eagerly awaiting a new year and new opportunities.
But no celebration is complete without the right preparations, and there’s still so much to do! The Vireldians need your help with some special tasks to make this Lunar Festival unforgettable.
Collect crops, fight off unwelcome enemies, and fish to your heart’s content – all help is welcome to help make this the best festival of the year!
And for our particularly eager Pioneers, a new quest has arrived in Virelda: complete the Daily Commission quest to earn yourself some bonus commission credits.
Let the celebrations begin!
Fixes and improvements
- Moved the Eastern Reach beacon into the centre of Virelda for better signposting and atmosphere
- Moved Levi into Virelda so that early players can start selling resources
- Added party-up zones around Virelda’s Eastern Reach beacon T1 and T2
- Added tutorial quests for mining and foraging in Virelda to guide new players
- Implemented a daily commission credit quest in Virelda to earn daily commission credits for initiating a dungeon run
- New Dynamic Frame Rate: When the frame rate cap setting is set to “Auto”, if the player cannot maintain 60 fps, their frame rate will automatically be capped at 30. You will need to manually set 120fps to make use of the enhanced frame rate setting (this feels great if your CPU can handle it)
- Added a ‘Play Again’ button on dungeons allowing you and your party to quickly re-run any dungeon
- Change the community beds into private beds: all Homestead farming beds are now instanced. We hope this will remove toxicity around farming until we update this mechanic
- Added automatic AI-powered chat and name moderation
- Implemented a new pipeline for events to speed up all in-game events, notably stat changes and collective achievement events. This should improve the responsiveness of event-based targets
- Added a new “waiting for other players” experience in dungeons. You can now see what relics/abilities other players pick and who you are waiting for
- All mobs will now instantly explode on a killing blow, instead of showing the “hit” or “stun” animation before exploding. This makes killing mobs feel more responsive
