A Zezenia Online Game Update has been released. The game client will update automatically. Steam users may need to restart to receive updates.

This update includes the following changes:



This challenging hunt is located in the Chenoo spawn of the Ice Islands. Proficiency dealing with Chenoo is required to enter.





A hardcore Demonic Ent portal has been added north of Eidos.





The Karkkila region in the Ice Islands has received some landscaping:

- Added more creatures to the respawns of Kidamru, Snowbeasts, Savages, Marauders, Cutthroats and Executioners on the ground floor.
- Significantly expanded the Volcanic Golem respawn.
- Added a number of Crystal Dragons to the old respawn. Moved some mountains to create a circular respawn pattern.
- Reshaped narrow passages in the respawns of Ice Demons and Ice Throwers and added a few more monsters.
- Turned the Western Yeti Respawn into a circle and added more monsters.
- Added quick access to the old Xyioquan Dragons respawn and added some monsters.
- Added quick access to the Volcanic Golem respawn.





Sincerely,
Zezenia Staff

It sounds very exciting.

But ... I can't find any of those new spawns, I can't catch any change on map, and monsters search doesn't show any new spawn (and yes, new patch was loaded automatically).

Am I crazy dumb or is that a bug in update ?

Visual bug with water on HC demonic :

Nice Map Changes'

Great job reworking Karkkila's respaws.

Nice changes. I like the reshaped thrower area and easier way through ice demons.

This water is just a cloud that spawns fog demons ;)


I have mixed feelings about recent changes of low level monster spawns. I can clearly see that these changes are made for higher levels just to easy finish bestiary, but is this a good way? Karkkila surroundings were somehow empty or monotonous few years ago and now it looks much better with higher numbers of monsters but its hard to pass through. There is a great looking place - an outpost with executioners and few assassins but to get there at the moment you must to deal with extreme amount of savages and executioners and when youre strong enough - you will no longer care about such place to hunt. New players will never see that place, probably.

Completing the bestiary should be a bit of challenge, but it needs to have some balance and common sense. Hooligans, sycophants - why just 3 to master? 100 is fair enough even for a newbie. Fog demons - easy because information but still challenging as there are just about 10-15 per raid - maybe 50 to master? Fog yetis probably the same number. Black spiders were downgraded to 3, but now we have a place with a bunch of them. (And yes, I know that these bestiary numbers are not important in the game :P)

Another thing unrelated to this update: I still suggest turning off auto focus on the text field when opening world map window. Theres no way to unfocus it and play in the background when looking at the map. For me, bestiary window has ideal behavior: I can fight and use spells and still browse the window, even use buttons.

excellent work!! finally, an observation, the old chenno portal, I don't see anyone who hunts there. So my suggestion is to remove the slow paralysis of chenoo in players..., there is no need for a slow game, it is already very strong!!

Do you mean old place near Bersund or Norrneau HC ?

I do hunt sometimes in Norrneau HC, it's my favourite place to task ice throwers and chenoo, trying to get some collects meanwhile. But it's not a good place to exp for me (problem with summons being untouched by bestiary boosts), just to task. A possible suggestion for exp could be to remove icy terrors from HC, and add some ice throwers instead.

Nice map changes!

yes, askja, norrneau... and I'm referring to the slowness that chenno gives, not the specific location
