  V Rising Patch 1.1.13.0

  V Rising Patch 1.1.13.0 Notes After taking additional feedback, here’s a bit of a repost of the previous patch notes from our previous blog. For the sake of identifying changes between the previous notes and these ones, we’ve bolded the changes. Explanations have been left in for the purpose of context!The patch should be going live at 12 GMT / 2 PM CEST / 8 AM EDT IMPORTANT NOTE: This patch WILL NOT cause saves to break or reset. Bug Fixes An awkward little bug has been around for a while, where the dodge roll on the pistol could still take damage from some effects while mid-roll. This inconsistency was pretty frustrating, so we’re happy to finally crush it. Explosive Shot (Pistol)Fixed a bug where you could take damage during the roll.Snapshot (Crossbow)Fixed a bug where the projectile could go through objects after it splits.Camouflage (Slashers)The range of the attack has been reduced from 4 to 3.3 so that it properly matches the VFX.Fixed a few performance-related bugs server-side. General One of the common issues referenced has been Corrupted Blood in both PvP and PvE contexts. In PvP, the ghosts spawned can become an advantage and are used to trigger free counters. In PvE, they act as a sometimes frustrating downside to using the blood that can add an overwhelming amount of complexity to a portion of the game that can already start to become a little overwhelming. Our goal with this change to Corrupted Blood is to make it so that they no longer trigger counters. That takes away a significant portion of its PvP advantage, while touching something that is rarely used for such a small amount of value in PvE. Additionally, the dash speed reduction makes them a lot more manageable to dodge in PvE, and that additional touch of making them unable to cause a fatal blow means they’ll never be responsible for an outright death. Corrupted BloodThe hostile ghost spawned by Corrupted Blood has its dash speed reduced and will now pierce enemies. The damage will no longer t...

We’re a little cautious about introducing a patch right before a free weekend due to the risk of instability during an influx of players. For that reason, we’re going to be patching next week.

V Rising Patch 1.1.1 Notes Based on your feedback, for the most part, we’re in a pretty enjoyable state in terms of there being some choices for builds and the gameplay itself being pretty solid, but there’s still some frustration with a lack of variety in PvP that could use some love.

  Dev Update #33: Community Highlights

  Greetings Vampires!Here in the Stunlock Studios crypts, we’ve been carefully gathering your feedback and wishes for an upcoming balance and bug-fix patch. There’s been a tremendous volume, about three times as much as our last feedback form, and it’s given us a lot to think about. We’re going to talk about that a bit more soon in a more in-depth post!In the meantime, we thought this would be a great opportunity to turn your attention towards some community-run servers and projects. Each of these is a long-standing project run by passionate and dedicated Vampires. They’ve put serious effort into creating their own communities and exemplary creative works that carve out unique niches within V Rising.If you’re looking for a trusted place to spend your time and link up with like-minded Vampires for a unique experience, whether it’s your first or tenth play-through, check out these amazing communities! The V Rising Mod Community First up is a bit of an anomaly in the list. Though the other communities we’re promoting are in-game servers, this is a bit of a meta pull. The V Rising Mod Community is a Discord dedicated to collaborative efforts of mod developers. From V Rising Mods: “The V Rising Modding Community takes things apart (usually on purpose) to see what we can get away with in ways that are occasionally clever, occasionally dangerous, and frequently both. It's a matter of poking at the underlying logic, comparing notes, and seeing if it can be talked into doing something it wasn't originally designed for (provided you ask it very quickly and in exactly the right order). Hundreds of mods on Thunderstore, with more than half updated for the current game version.Shared frameworks and open source mods for compatibility, learning, and security.Both public and private modders are asking questions and sharing ideas. Want somewhere to play? There are plenty of options out there. Want to know how it works or make it do it differently? This is where you want to be: https:/...
