Wolcen: Lords of Mayhem Update #114 – Upcoming Hotfix Preview

Following the recent release of the Wrath of Sarisel content update for the early access version of Wolcen: Lords of Mayhem, we get this Kickstarter update that outlines what we should expect from the upcoming hotfix, including improvements to animation canceling as well as some new localization options. Check it out:

Hello everyone!

We would like to inform you that a hotfix is planned for next week. In addition to bringing improvements to Bladestorm and fixing a few bugs like the Consuming Embers buff, the hotfix will also contain:

Animation cancel improvement: The setup for this system was not optimal in the latest version for certain skills(Consuming Embers for example). With the next hotfix, all skills will be properly set up with the animation cancel system when the character performs a “movement”. Potions and dodge roll will also count as “movements”, therefore have a higher priority over skills when they are used. This will drastically improve the fluidity of actions in-game and survivability in dangerous situations.

Chinese localization: Thanks to Wshepherd(传说娘), Spendaem(夜紫尘) and MshKai(陌上花开), we will be able to restore the Simplified Chinese localization in the game. We want to thank these awesome members of our community for their help, they’ve done a great job and we’re more than happy to reintroduce Chinese in Wolcen: Lords of Mayhem.

German localization improvement: CoTTo has also provided us with the latest files of the German localization and we will update it with the hotfix planned next week. Many thanks to him as well!

On a side note concerning localization, we will now be using the Crowdin website for future localizations of the game. We find it to be quite user-friendly and practical for our use, so any member of the community from any language can participate in making the game available in tons of languages at the release.

Another hotfix is planned following this one to improve loading times and memory issues leading the game to shut down on start-up.

Thank you for your support!
