Life is Feudal: Your Own news & patch notes

We are so excited to announce our latest Life is Feudal: Your Own update has dropped, filled with new features and tweaks, reworked luck mechanics and battle survival skill tweaks. To celebrate the occasion, grab 50% off on all items in our two day full franchise sale on Steam in appreciation of your awesome support of Life is Feudal!

Patch Notes (ver. 1.4.0.1):

Important features and tweaks

Player owned horses that are left unattended in the world now take longer to decay (2 hours)

Reworked three gathering abilities (Search for something Edible, Search for Materials, Search for Herbs). All of these abilities work the same way as the original gathering of alchemy ingredients worked. ‘Targeting’ the tile triggers the visibility of corresponding plants in the area, which you now manually gather

Luck effects from different types of sources (jewelry, blessings and 5 ingredient foods) now have separate effect slots and stack separately

Movable objects can now be damaged by projectiles without a siege damage attribute

You can now rename unmovable objects

You can now give names to movable objects on your claimed lands - making your guild items management easier for everyone

Movable objects placed inside unmovable objects (warehouses, houses, keeps etc) can no longer be opened, looted or moved during JH raids. We’ve implemented this feature to prevent different types of exploits, which allowed players to squeeze into the warehouses and loot them while defenders were fighting elsewhere.

Incomplete buildings and objects now take significantly longer to decay and disappear. You can use the ‘Inspect’ ability on incomplete buildings to see their durability and how soon they will decay and disappear.

Reworked all shield visual geometry

Players should slip and fall down when they step on top of other players or horses

Minimum criminal status duration is now 10 seconds, giving you some time to hit the offender once or twice - make sure not to overdo it!

5-ingredient food is now boosted. Eating complex foods like this will grant you an ‘Inspired work’ and ‘Luck’ effect and the duration of the effects depends on the quality of the food.

Resurrection sickness is now twice as long and healing effect duration is shorter, making it better to heal yourself now rather than dying

Warnings while looting graves should now work properly and warn you only if you really will lose the alignment upon looting --- Luck mechanics reworked---

Max luck on a character is now capped at 100 (originally 12)

Luck bonus on jewelry is increased 5x- this will only work on newly crafted jewelry

Luck bonus from skills at lvl 100 of training are increased up to 10

‘Bless with a God's Love’ luck buff is increased to 8.5 (up to 10 on 100 lvl of the Piety skill)

5-ingredient foods now provide up to 10 luck

The chance to craft an exceptional item has increased from 0.01% to 0.1%

Updated mature oak tree collisions so they can no longer form an impassable wall

Added FoV and Particle Settings to the Video Options of the game

Poisons tweaked so that they last longer (2 to 4 minutes) and the overall damage is also higher

Weapon tooltips slightly improved

Personal timers on horses are now properly ignored during JH --- ‘Battle Survival’ skill tweaks ---

Added a 60 second cooldown after ‘Fatal Hp Conversion’ proc

Skill raise from the ‘Fatal Hp Conversion’ ability was significantly increased

Luck now properly affects the chance of doubling the amount of fatal Hard HP damage that is transformed into Soft HP

Added a system message when the ‘Fatal Hp Conversion’ is triggered containing the information how luck affected this proc

Shields on the back should now properly lose durability upon being hit --- Beta Branch---

You can now choose between versions of YO that you want to play. If you want to stick to the latest update version, or choose the older one if you prefer. This can be done by right clicking on ‘Life is Feudal’- Properties - Beta.

Today’s patch is here to fix the client side crash when re-entering the game near a newly constructed, fancy Castle Gatehouse with Drawbridge! There is also fine tuning of the combat system balance - you can find a detailed description of the changes below. :cool_lif:

***(Hotfix) A small patch has been issued that should fix a bug that caused Guild Monuments to disappear after certain actions with a guild and its members.*** FINALLY! After countless sleepless nights, frustration, desperation and strokes of hysterical laughter, we’ve managed to merge the four separate types of entities into one: a horse, a player, a cart and movable objects. The result of which has been highly anticipated by many players and is called: Horse-drawn carts! Now you can fetch large amounts of items and certain movable objects around the map in an efficient and immersive way. Who knows, maybe you will not need a home anymore and can play as a nomad with all your stuff fitting into one cart? It is Your Own decision, after all! ;) Also, we’ve implemented a new large set of castle wall models and new keeps! Recipes for building these are now available to you. These new walls should be more efficient and provide a wider angle of fire for the defenders’ archers. New keeps can now be built on top of your guild monument to provide an additional layer of protection for the “heart” of your guild. We also would like to remind you that this major feature was one of the most voted features suggested by our players. We encourage you, our players, to visit this page and browse through the existing features, vote for them, discuss with others and even suggest your own ideas here! Lastly, we’ve transferred all the current changes and features from the beta branch to the main/release branch. This means that you will be able to play with these features without a need to switch to the beta branch. The full list of features that are transferred from the beta branch and added with the current patch:

Hey everyone, In today's patch, we want to take a second to say, 'hello!' to the small group of people who were concerned that LiF:YO had been forgotten about. Well, of course, we would never do that and are excited for today's updates. See for yourself in the patch notes or take a look on the beta test branch for more info! Please read the end of the post if you’re unsure how to activate LiF:YO Steam beta branch.

Patch notes (ver. 1.3.3.1):

New features and tweaks:

• Optimized and reworked guild code. Added new ‘Guilds’ button in the Character window - which is where you can now create, manage and invite new members to your guild. Political and rights system is currently exposed via console commands only. Please, take a look here, if you want some politics on your server ;)
• Implemented ‘Personal Claim’ system
• Implemented the ‘Horse decay’ system in order to minimize excessive server load, which was caused by hundreds of unattended horses being stashed in the attics of residential buildings. A horse without a rider or any interaction within 30 minutes will appear sleeping/laying on the ground, and after an additional 30 minutes, it will ‘run away’ and disappear completely from the gameworld. This mechanism is DISABLED by default. Server admins may to enable this setting by modifying the: $cm_config::Decay::HorsesDecayTimeMinutes preference
• Implemented a server-side setting that gives the ability to enable or disable all inventory items being dropped on the ground when a player uses the Homecoming Prayer skill ($cm_config::HomecomingDrop = 0;)
• New tooltips system implemented - you can now see detailed information about items, character stats and active effects
• Claim radius is now shown in tiles (1 tile side = 2 meters)
• Guild claim rendering distance is lowered
• Guild land maintenance price decreased
• Tweaked tree growth algorithm. Trees that are planted by players will now grow faster
• Special attack damage multipliers boosted
• Removed ignore parry on 90 lvl Spearman
• 90 level Spearman is now required to fight with spear and shield. Also added special attack after knocking down an opponent
• Lancers can’t attack on low speed anymore
• Added durability checks while interacting with inventory and constructed objects. You will no longer see an ability in the context menu if durability requirements are not met
• You can deconstruct incomplete buildings on enemy claims during Judgment Hour. Speed of deconstruction depends on the amount of resources that were invested into that particular building
• Properly implemented the swimming skill. It can now be skilled up and allows you to swim longer distances
• Armor effects now properly scale with the armor quality
• Archer Stand and Defensive Fence now set up immediately in a complete state
• Added ‘Load of Mortar’ recipe. Grants the ability to make large amounts of mortar at once, but with increased use of resources
• A bunch of crafting recipe tweaks

Bug fixes and optimizations:

• Slightly optimized netcode
• Optimized guild lands drawing algorithm
• Optimized server to database communication
• Fixed client crash on claim removal
• Fixed inability to use Sacrifice when a monument is being upgraded
• A few server crash issues have been addressed
• Optimized collision models of some objects. This should boost servers performance slightly.
• Fixed an exploit making some players invulnerable
• Fixed a situation where a character was dismounted from horse after stun. Now a dismount will only happen if a character is knocked down.
• Now renaming, opening and dropping bags and similar containers is working properly
• Ranger skill abuse with pavise fixed
• Fixed ability to draw a spear on horseback
• Fixed terraforming related substance dupe
• You can no longer add fuel to damaged devices
• Fixed the quality cap on metal types in the case of chainmail armor crafting

Hey everyone, We have talked our bunnies into behaving like proper rabbits, so no more eggs from them. The bunnies have also told us how to fix a few issues, the complete list is below!

Patch notes (ver. 1.3.1.0):

Bug fixes:

• You can build on unflattened terrain tiles in GM mode now
• You can dig a tunnel near flattened tiles now
• No more unknown damage type, correct type of received damage (impact damage) is properly indicated now

• No more infinite stun when being knocked down while riding a horse
• Terrain quality setting is preserved after the game restarts now

Hey everyone, Fortunately, we are staying true to the good old game dev tradition of providing a quickfix patch to the recent major patch. Here are couple of issues that we’ve fixed with the current update.

Patch notes (ver. 1.3.0.3):

Bug fixes:

• patch.sql script was fixed. This should resolve issues on these dedicated servers. They had no root rights while executing scripts in the database. That lead to numerous different bugs - skills lock/unlock, inability to see dropped objects, animals not producing corpses, trees not producing logs after being chopped down, crashes when taking resources from Drying racks and Tanning tubs etc
• Fixed an issue that prevented some wall and fence construction from being completed when they were adjacent to other walls, fences or unmovable objects
• Fixed a bug with improper damage calculations inflicted by arrows and bolts to buildings

Dear LiF:YO servers owners, if you are still experiencing problems with your server’s patching/initialization, please send your server logs and DB dumps with a problem description straight to us: [email protected]. Note: We've implemented separate skillcap (crafting, combat, minor) server setting. Dedicated servers' skillcaps can not be reconfigured automatically. Server admins will have to change 'world.xml' files manually to configure different caps to: For further information please contact us via the email above. -The team

Hey everyone, After some extensive work we’ve completed, we’re finally glad to announce that all of the major changes, which some of you noticed in Life is Feudal:MMO, have been by adopted, and patched to, Life is Feudal: Your Own. Enjoy!

Patch notes (ver. 1.3.0.1):

New features and tweaks:

• Completely redesigned the combat skill tree. Make sure to open your skill book and spend some time familiarizing yourself with it. Note that skillcap setting will be different for crafting, combat and minor skills now
• Implemented a new object selection algorithm, which should increase your game performance slightly, especially in an area with a lot of objects and trees (note that inside buildings some improperly placed storage items, like crate, barrels etc., may become stuck, you will need GM assistance to get them out)
• Optimized and partially rewritten AI system. These changes may result in a slight server side performance boost, but they are mainly designed to be a foundation for Natives and horse-driven carts
• Implemented parallax effect on terrain textures
• Added ‘Maximized window’ display mode
• You can change language in Game settings menu now, as well as guid invites, groups and barter requests
• All types of damage affect movable objects now

• Royal armor skill requirement has decreased to 90. Royal armor damage mitigation has increased by 5% compared to Veteran’s armor sets
• Increased blueprints probability to be dropped during crafting actions from 1% to 5%
• Minimum speed bonus is 1.0 instead of 5.0. That means that a low speed poke with certain weapons will not cause excessive damage now
• Doubled velocity multiplier in thrust attack speed bonus calculation
• Thrusting attacks with Spears cannot be parried now (required 90 Spearman skill)
• All trebuchet related actions require 60 Demolition skill now
• You need to inflict at least 5 dmg in order to have a chance to cause a stagger or stun
• Special attacks reshuffled for the purpose of better usability in combat. Make sure to check out skill book descriptions
• All melee combat combo chains are lowered to 3 consecutive attacks (instead of 4). Make sure to check skill book for details
• Combo, special attacks and attacks with Power Strike effect properly ignore parrying now (as it was originally intended)
• Hit damage type transforms to blunt when hit is blocked by a shield
• Practice weapons do not require a linen rope now in their crafting recipes. That should make practice weapons more available at earlier stages of development
• New ‘Siege Torch’ weapon
• Knight sword moved to hand-and-a-half sword group, Grossmesser moved to the one-handed group. Estoc weapon type changed to two-handed sword
• Nerfed lances damage multiplier
• Tweaked unit weight of polearms
• Partisan weapon is shorter now
• Increased speed of overhead attacks with two-handed pole weapons
• Swamps and snow now affect horses speed
• You can flatten paved tiles now to build structures on them
• Day cycle min to max range changed to 1- 24 (real life hours per in game day)

Bug fixes:

• Multiple forest and trees related optimizations and bugfixes. We believe that everything related to the forest and individual trees should work faster
• Pines and spruces have proper collisions now at all growth stages
• Iron Grip ability should no longer switch player to a peaceful stance
• Royal horse in an unstoppable gallop state should work properly now
• Fixed an issue with cooldowns of disabled abilities
• Fixed a server crash with the barter window
• Fixed an exploit, which allowed players to shoot volley arrows when angle of sight is lower than 30 degrees to the ground plane
• Fixed incorrect tiles blocking while terraforming
• Region audio announcement is no longer sounded when entering the game or returning to already visited region (text notifications are still there)
• ‘Slaughter’ button is now visible only for players with at least 30 points of Animal Lore skill
• Fixed huge formation bonus bug. Formation will be dropped on any leader teleport
• Fixed ‘jump to the sky on a tunnel edge’ bug
• Autocraft ends when the tool reaches 0 durability
• Multiple combat mechanics-related bugfixes
• Fixed some minor chat and chat window related bugs
• Some other server and client side crash fixes and optimizations

-The Team

(UPDATE) Due to the implementation of the new blocked tile determination method, some players may encounter certain sections of their existing walls to be aligned in the wrong direction. The new method we are using is overall better, however, if you encounter this “wall problem” we suggest you to remove the affected wall section, flatten the terrain tile and build a new section with desired orientation. (We believe your server GMs will gladly assist you in doing so)

Hey everyone, After squashing a small army of bugs, which popped up here and there in the 64bit build of our game, we’re super happy to finally announce that Life is Feudal:Your Own 64bit is ready to be reviewed by our players! We must warn you: the 64bit version of our game is still in beta, so everything is possible - please report any weird behavior you may stumble upon to [email protected] There are also some gameplay changes included in this build, but we plan to add more features and fixes - plus write some proper patch notes - once this branch is ready for full release to all players! P.S. Click here to find out how to switch to beta for those who are eager to try it out! Branch: public-beta Password: sandboxLUV4evah1

You will have to create or join a new server in the beta branch.
