Dev Post:
The last patch nicely filled the fast travel shortage, and the exact cost dials are still being worked on based on the feedback received. With those improvements underway, it's the right time to put some serious development time into something much more fundamental:

About: PROJECT AEVEN ( Aeven 3.0 )
70% DONE / WIP
|
Aeven is being reworked again.
The 4X launch already improved the main hub city a lot, but even after all that work, it never quite became the Aeven that was originally envisioned. This time, the biggest effort ever put into a single map is in progress, with the focus on finally getting Aeven where it needs to be.

Dev goals:
- Keep the city layout exactly like the current Aeven
- Create more housing space for future expansion
- Improve the placement and flow of buildings and areas
- Make every viewpoint on the map feel worthwhile
- Remove repetitive artwork and reduce visual repetition
- Move beyond the original one-house, one-tree approach
- Keep overall balance, so map does not become over-detailed
- Keep overall balance, so map still connects to rest of world
- Give Aeven a strong first impression and a more lively vibe overall
This all not happens out of nowhere. With 1 map easily draining around 80 hours of measuring, pixeling, cutting, placement, mapping, and quest redesign, the scope of this rebuild has become very clear: The new Aeven map is likely to be the scope of the entire patch.
With a shiny brand new Aeven done, and a long break from coding it's probably time for a more feature heavy update after this one.

A few rough edges have been fixed in the ever ongoing effort to make the client as stable as possible:
- Quest AngerNpc() (Magician) fixed, timeout msg added (Defeating him too slow)
- Event SpawnNpc() (Faya and Ratcatcher) despawn issues fixed
- Catch requirements for Fireflies event lowered with 50%
- Daily Exp Limits for REP quests fixed
- Inn Quiz and spawnpoint desync fixed

Update patch 4.56 is a work in progress.
