Women arrive, new footsteps and goodbye to the grey world

Female characters arrive for all four lineages, with their own body, hair physics and way of moving. Footsteps now land when the foot touches the ground, the grey, washed-out look on mid-range graphics cards is gone, the city no longer has invisible objects at mid range and nights have far less fog. Update required: the world checks the client version on connect.

Female characters

• All four lineages (Vajrahn, Sahira, Yodha and Elunar) can be created as women, with their own body and proportions.
• Their own walk, run, jump and combat stance animations.
• Hair physics: it moves with the wind and with every step.
• Character select and creation always show the right gender, and characters enter the world exactly as created.
• For now armor is not shown on the female body: female versions of each set arrive in upcoming patches. Gear stats still apply.

Sound

• Footsteps play right when the foot touches the ground, walking and running, for every lineage. They used to follow a fixed rhythm that did not match the stride.

Graphics

• Fixed the grey, washed-out look on mid-range cards since the September 8 patch. Automatic quality is detected correctly again and fixes itself on launch, unless it was changed by hand in Options.
• No more invisible city objects at mid range.
• Longer draw distance on Low and Medium quality.
• Night fog is 80% lighter: nights stay blue, but you can see much farther.
• Hair and backpacks no longer float on the character select screen.
