V Rising

Hello Vampires!

There was a localization issue introduced in the last patch that should work correctly now! Sorry for the inconvenience.

The following changes will be applied.

Localization

• Fixed an issue with many of the translations that were causing some lines to appear in English instead of the set language.

If you're having issues with the game, make sure to take a look at our known bugs and fixes to see if there's a potential solution to get you back into Vardoran as quickly as possible!

IMPORTANT NOTE! Please report any issues you encounter after this patch (https://bugs.playvrising.com/).

ADDITIONAL REMINDER! Regularly back up your server saves! Here's how to do it.

Stay vigilant in the shadows of Vardoran, our fellow Vampires!

Eternally yours,

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 Blood

• The hostile ghost spawned by Corrupted Blood has its dash speed reduced and will now pierce enemies. The damage will no longer trigger counters. Damage from ghosts can no longer cause a fatal blow.

Balance Changes

Sanguine Coil can be a bit oppressive in PvP due to the amount of charges and fast projectile speed. We’re going to slightly reduce the speed, but also buff the healing to give it more of a strong identity in line with its original purpose for those who want to play a more supportive role in both PvP and PvE.

• Sanguine Coil

• Increased Cooldown from 6 to 7 seconds.

• Reduce default projectile speed by 20%.

• Increase healing on allies from 14-30% to 20-40% (Jewel Effect).

Blood Rite has outshone similar spells, making it often feel like the best option to pick for a counter spell. We’re tuning it down just a bit in hopes it makes other options more appealing.

• Blood Rite

• Reduce duration and damage on the follow-up attack from 20-40% (5-second duration) to 15-30% (4-second duration) (Jewel Effect)

For Wraith Spear, we feel like its mobility is being exploited a bit too much with cancel casts, so we’re making it a bit more costly to do. Its AoE jewel also felt unattractive, so we wanted to give it a little buff to give more alternatives for good AoE damage.

• Wraith Spear

• Cooldown gained from canceling the spell has been increased from 50% to 65%.

• Reduced the penalty per target from 6-10% to 8-16% (Jewel Effect)

Spectral Guardian is a fantastic defensive ability, but it often gets neglected due to its lower damage compared to other ultimates. We’re adding a little bit more of an offensive advantage to it so that it feels less like a damage loss, and hopefully makes it a bit more attractive of an option.

• Spectral Guardian

• Now attacks 15% faster.

The recast of Ball Lightning can feel impossible to react to, and it has no visual feedback. Adding a small delay and improving the feedback of the recast will hopefully put this spell in a better position.

• Ball Lightning

• Added a 0.5-second delay before explosion on recast. (Jewel Effect)

Veil of Storm has been outshone by other veil abilities in many cases. Increasing its speed will make it a more interesting choice and fit the theme of lightning-fat spells.

• Veil of Storm

• Dash duration reduced from 0.45 seconds to 0.4 seconds.

Corrupted Skull damage feels low, so we’re looking at ways to improve the damage while also keeping its identity a little divergent from other similar spells of other schools. This might do the trick!

• Corrupted Skull

• Increase the bonus damage done below the threshold from 40% to 50%.

Veil of Bones is yet another underutilized veil ability. We’re hoping to make it a little more appealing while also leaning into its theme.

• Veil of Bones

• Increase the bonus damage when below the threshold from 20-40% to 30-50% (Jewel Effect)

Freeze Immunity can feel too punishing for players using frost builds against enemies like V Bloods. To make Frost feel a little more effective in PvE, we’re increasing the bonus damage you deal when trying to apply Freeze to immune targets, making it a solid choice even against units with freeze immunity.

• Freeze Immunity

• Damage bonus for trying to apply freeze on an immune target has been increased from 25% to 30%.

For Mosquito, the player character was the source of the damage, making Mosquito more of a visual representation of an AoE than being an actual “minion”, which many players found unintuitive. This change makes the Mosquito minion the source, making it more in line with other minion-summoning spells.

• Mosquito

• Damage dealt now scales with bonus minion damage.

• No longer leeches health to the player through Spell Leech attribute.

The short distance of the dash, along with the quick duration, made it so that this dash was almost impossible to react to in PvP, so we’re tuning it closer to other veils while also trying to keep its identity, and also lengthening the distance in a way that should prove as an advantage in PvE.

• Veil of Chaos

• Dash duration changed from 0.3 seconds to 0.4 seconds.

• Distance changed from 5 to 5.5.

Wisp Dance activation was way too fast, making it impossible to react against and also comboing in a particularly nasty way with Scholar Blood that wasn’t originally intended. Increasing the cast time will reduce the guaranteed activation damage and help ease back on the guaranteed combo.

• Wisp Dance

• Increased cast time from 0.15 seconds to 0.4 seconds.

The quick unblockable damage felt a tad too high. We’re moving some part of the damage to the end effect, which can be countered, to make it more rewarding to block while keeping the overall damage the same in all other contexts.

• Arctic Storm

• Reduced damage per tick by 15% and moved that damage to the final tick.

To make more ultimates a bit more attractive, we decided to lower the duration of Raging Tempest while keeping the damage the same. That means the overall damage per second is increased, and lets you hop back into the fight to keep up the pressure.

• Raging Tempest

• Reduced duration from 3 seconds to 2.5 seconds while keeping total damage dealt.

Curse has high output variance. Increasing its base duration heightens the base value without increasing the max damage potential into dangerous territory. Curse more reliably than ever!

• Curse

• Increased base duration by 0.5 seconds.

The Ice Block melts too fast, unfortunately. We’re increasing its shield to reward defensive usage of the ability.

• Ice Block

• Increased shield from 500% to 550% of your spell power.

It’s our impression that the initial heal from Blood Fountain is a bit too weak, especially in scenarios where the delayed healing is missed. We’re giving it a slight buff to help bolster another tool for those of you who were asking for more support playstyle options.

• Blood Fountain

• Increased initial heal from 50% to 55% of your spell power.

Cyclone’s bonus damage jewel gave it a bit too much damage output, so we’re lowering it to put it more in line with other damage-increasing jewels.

• Cyclone

• Bonus damage reduced from 20-40% to 14-30% (Jewel Effect)

Hello Vampires!

The time for the October patch is upon us! Based on your feedback, we were able to fit a few extra features and bug fixes in, as well as alter some of the planned changes. While we do strive for some level of balance to the numbers side of the game, the most important thing for us is that the game feels good and fun to play.

Hello Vampires!

We’ve emerged from our crypt to carve out a couple of bugs, wrap them up, and bring them back inside for our nefarious dark magic rituals. Please do not ask me about the dark rituals, you really don’t want to know.

The following changes will be applied.

General

• Added a confirmation request to the “Kill Prisoner” option in prison cells.

• Fixed an issue where units spawned through objects like Spider Cave cocoons could sometimes disappear after being imprisoned.

• Fixed Unholy VFX on the enemy “Skewering Leap” ability.

• Fixed an issue where queuing up irradiant gruel in a prison cell could remain in que even if the unit mutated, causing the next inserted prisoner to instantly get fed irradiant gruel.

• A few areas that did not properly animate or remain interactable while in the pause menu should now be working properly.

• Fixed an issue where Dracula could sometimes get stuck in a phase 1 to 2 transition during very specific scenarios involving server restarts. He may still get stuck this way, but it will be temporary, and should sort itself out within a few hours.

• Destroying a floor under a disabled item should no longer cause it to remain suspended in the air. I curse your items with gravity.

• Under rare circumstances, a weapon could receive two coatings. This should no longer be possible.

• Inflicted horses with a fear of chaos and illusion damage from weapon coatings, which they were previously indifferent to.

• Players can no longer teleport while affected by the Golem buff.

• Added support for sorting blood potions, as well as adjusted the bag sorting on several item types.

• Fixed a bug where one Expose Vein animation made the Vampires intersect oddly.

• Fixed an issue where dead Vampire Steeds could block dismantling elevated floors.

• Fixed some issues with camera collision.

• Added protections to prevent certain calculation errors from occurring, which should prevent some crashes related to daggers and horses.

• Fixed a Night Maiden animation bug.

• Fixed some visible gaps in doorways with wallpapers.

• Added collision to prevent clumsy Vampires from falling into holes and getting stuck, which was just embarrassing for everyone.

• Fix for the “wash basin” which was not fading properly when obscuring the camera.

• We changed the way the game remembers Emotes and Shapeshift positions, which should help solve an issue where player Emote and Shapeshift choices would get reset between games.

• Fixed an issue where you could get dagger stacks when not having a dagger equipped, which would stay permanently.

• Fixed an issue where some small sun rays could sneak their way into the vineyard boss arena.

• Fixed an issue where Arena Health Orbs could remain as indestructible objects after a castle is destroyed.

• Fixed an issue where arenas and duels could become invisible when too many were taking place in one area. Removed the restriction that you can only see arena areas while in the same territory.

• Fixed some typos! Always.

• Rejoice, Vampires. Dark Silver Longbow is now written the same as the other Dark Silver weapons.

Greetings Vampires!

More fixes to cap off the week!

The following changes will be applied.

General

• Did some slight reworks to Mace Q, Claw Q, and Whip Q rotation curves that should significantly reduce the potential jankiness of casting them in the opposite direction of your walking inputs while having latency.

• Solved an issue where items would in some cases be taken from non-treasury chests when crafting/building.

• Fixed some minor issues with jewel/legendary names.

• Speaking of names, fixed some typos!

• Fixed some spacing overflow issues in crafting stations in several languages to bring them in line with other localizations.

• Fixed an issue where chain lightning could trigger on floors above or below a player while in a castle.

• Added a safety check to prevent waypoint impaired users from teleporting, though they can still open the menu to check potential teleport locations.

• Fixed an issue where replacing a floor when moving a Castle Relocation Heart would recollect resources that were never spent.

• Fixed an issue where the order of load game saves might not match the last connected.

• Fixed a bug where Veil of Illusion jewels that were supposed to summon an additional illusion on recast did not properly spawn one.

• Fixed an issue where the gear level of servants would be set to zero upon revival.

• Fixed an issue where the Blood Homogenizer and Fusion Forge could be dismantled while having items in them, causing the items to be lost to the shadow realm.

• Fixed an issue where doors that had no floor attached would not fade properly on upper floors, leading to some very annoying raid defense designs.

• Fixed an issue where the incursion hud could get stuck on the screen if the eye of mortium is dismantled.

• Fixed an issue where players could enter a bugged state and not be able to send Charmed units home using the Duskcaller item after being polymorphed into a sheep.

• Fixed an issue where the music player UI could break.

Hello Vampires!

We’re darkening your doorstep to deliver more delectable bug fixes. A little balance tweak that should make corrupted blood a bit less oppressive in PvE and PvP alike, as well as fixing some wording and unintended behaviors. More to come!

The following changes will be applied.

General

• Corrupted Blood’s chance of spawning a shadow is down from 30% per ability cast to 20% per ability cast. Damage from the shadows has been increased to 150% from 120%.

• Fixed an issue where the vampire horse could land on an upper floor in your castle when called to a lower floor.

• Fixed various typos.

• Fixed an issue where Talons of the Lich Beast did not apply the correct buff on hit when using Skewering Leap.

• Fixed an issue where clan invites could not be accepted in the clan menu.

• Players can no longer feed on minions of the Blood Soul version of Bane the Shadowblade, preventing some edge case issues from occurring.

• Fixed the Draculin blood tier 3 description. It no longer says it increases spell charges gained by 3%, but instead correctly states that it increases the spell charges gained by 3.

• Fix to make Sir Magnus the Overseer stay in combat when he blocks himself in with icicles.

Greetings Vampires!

We’re getting even more fixes in before the weekend so that you may indulge your blood lust as bug-free as possible in all of your rich upcoming free time.

General

• Fixed a potential server crash issue related to pathing.

• Corrected an issue where Cassius’ sword could get stuck under ground, making the boss unkillable.

• Added some missing collisions in a place where the player could jump into the abyss. So if you want to jump into the abyss, you’re going to have to try a little harder.

• Fixed an issue where the stems of Cypress Saplings were showing incorrectly on upper floors.

• Fixed an issue where the physics on Domina’s whip could get stuck in an incorrect state.

• Minor fixes to make health restoration after duels and arena contests work consistently.

• Fixed a typo in the Frost Bat spell description.

• Fixed gamepad autoscroll not working in Servant Mission list.

• Fixed servant perks layout order not being consistent with other missions.

• Fixed an issue where players could gain health by spamming the Arena Start/Cancel Contest button.

• Fixed an issue with the highlight displays in the player inventory with “Pristine Leather Bag” and “Bat Leather Bag”, where it would identify an incorrect number of slots in some instances.

Rest assured that this is a visual bug only, and your older bags are still giving you all of that precious space.

• Quite a few more optimizations!

Greetings Vampires!

We’re adding a new patch today with a wide variety of fixes to address your most urgent needs! Additionally, we’re continuing to optimize the game so it can run more smoothly.

The following changes will be applied.

General

• Fixed an issue where Vampire mounts could no longer be mounted. Please note that if your horse is currently bugged in this way, for the fix to take effect, you will have to resummon your horse. After it has been resummoned, it should not break again.

• Fixed an issue where prisoners summoned to your base through a “Dusk Caller” over a long distance could get stuck in transit, and may never arrive, also causing players to be trapped in a “dominated subject” state. If you are still stuck in this state, you will have to use the “Release Target” ability to escape it. Unfortunately, this will kill the prisoner, but rest assured, there are still plenty of creatures to bend to your eternal will.

• Fixed some skinning issues on several armor sets.

• Fixed an issue where the names of some of the Gloomrot music box tracks were mixed up.

• Fix for Wisteria Wall Growths that could sometimes clip through upper flooring.

• Fixed an issue where blood pool blood infusions could not be shown on gamepad.

• Fixed an issue where sometimes blood mixer blood quality would show incorrect values.

• Fixed a typo in the “Stone Dust” tooltip where it referenced the “Smelter” instead of the “Furnace”.

• Claw Skewering leap ability has been tweaked to make it hit more reliably if the server is lagging.

• Added placement restriction where stairs cannot be placed on top of gravel pathing. This could create a situation where the stairs became unable to be deleted, due to its connection to the gravel pathing.

• Fixed an issue where disconnected players could sometimes die from the sun within their castles.

• Various optimizations were also added!

Hello Vampires!

We’ll be adding a small patch to V Rising today that should only affect your client, not your servers, so there shouldn’t be any issue waiting for servers to update or server restarts necessary to play. The only change should be a graphic on the server list identifying our Trusted Server Provider, which has changed from G-Portal to PocketHost.

The size of the update may appear large, but that's really all that's in it! Image files can be funny like that. So don't be alarmed.

Hello Vampires.

We’re going to be making a few changes to V Rising today to squash a pesky UI-breaking bug, and also add some new items to an already existing DLC pack in preparation for an upcoming event! We’ll be posting more on that in just a few hours. For now, here are the changes in today’s patch.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Please make sure you have updated your client! You may experience crashing issues if you do not update your client.

Changes in this patch, which should go live soon, will include:

• Removed the ability for players to name themselves from a certain range of Arabic shorthand codes.

• These codes cause the UI to break when encountered in a player name.

• Any players who currently have names with these codes should display as “aaaa”, which will no longer cause UI issues.

• Added new items to the Legacy of Castlevania Pack! More details on this will be revealed later, but if you want a preview, they should be available now!

There will be more V Rising news to be spooked about later this month! Happy Halloween!

We highly recommend restarting the game to ensure you get the latest version.

Hello Vampires.

Yesterday we patched V Rising with a small update to the Continue function in the main menu. You should now be able to see the name of the server you’re connecting to before choosing to connect to indicated over the button on the main menu. This is a relatively small change, but we’re just letting you know what we did so you aren’t too spooked by an unexplained update.

/Stunlock Studios

Hello Vampires.

We’ll be patching V Rising today at 11:00 CEST. (EDIT: The patch did not go live at 11:00 CEST due to technical difficulties, but will be updated later today once they are resolved.)

Rising from our crypts once more to bring you a heavier hotfix, today’s patch includes a massive triple-digit grab bag of general, UI, and bug fixes, as well as a hefty dose of game balance adjustments.

We highly recommend restarting the game to ensure you get the latest version.

This update brings the following fixes:

• Fixed an issue where the navigation could break when swapping between the social menu and the systems menu with a gamepad.

• Fixed an issue where navigation would become unresponsive when pressing the D-pad when editing settings with a value input.

• The brightness slider on first startup is no longer affected by framerate issues.

• Fixed a bug where the client would use the next parameter if provided with an empty value for saveFileName.

• Fixed an issue where options were not properly saved if an autosave was occurring just as the option was changed.

Balance Updates

While we were looking at changes to make for this balance update, we reached out in a few public and private discords to get some community feedback on the most pressing issues related to PvP in the game right now to get the best idea we could do to alleviate current frustrations.

With that in mind, the changes we’re making are restricted to numbers adjustments to spells that needed a little tuning down like the defensive counters and buffs, but just as importantly some others that need a little boost to help make more options viable.

Some motivations for changes are as follows:

• We received a lot of feedback that the Whip is too strong due to its attack speed and overall damage compared to other weapons that are harder to aim. Even though the whip overall has the lowest DPS(damage per second), we increased the primary attack’s cast time to make it slightly more reactable while also lowering the DPS. This will bring it more in line with other weapons.

• In general, defensives have been pretty oppressive. We’ve tuned down the numbers on some of the shields and defensives provided. There are other issues with strengths on defensives that can’t solved with a simple numbers adjustment, but this will have to do for now!

• Void is omnipresent in raiding when combined with scholar blood, having a large radius that it’s very difficult not to get value out of in narrow hallways when used excessively by many Vampires at once. We’ve reduced the radius to make it a bit easier to dodge and a bit harder to get value out of when used in large groups.

• Many projectiles and targeting offensive abilities have had their damage tuned up to make them more competitive options compared to defensive spells.

• There’s been some rebalancing in the frost school, off-setting some of the frustrating nature of the freeze setups by increasing the shielding the freeze gives a player, which should soften the blow of the first guaranteed hit they receive when being broken out of their frozen state.

• Some underutilized ults have gotten some buffs!

Right now we’re starting work on the next update, and in that we’re going to be able to do more of the things we weren’t able to do now. For instance, we’re aware there are concerns in pvp around how much offensive utility directional shields have, but there’s no way to adjust them properly without changing their functionality significantly, which we’re restricted from doing in a minor patch such as this.

We’re also working on some fun systems that you can look forward to that are targeted at pvp lovers, like the much requested duel system.

Until then, please enjoy these adjustments that should make it a bit more fun to murder your fellow Vampire over, and over, and over again.

/The V Rising team

Hello Vampires.

We will start patching V Rising shortly.

This hotfix brings the following fixes and updates:

General

• Added support for loading a specific auto-save using the “Load Game” option. This allows players to load previous saves in case the latest auto-save becomes corrupt. However, this won’t recover lost saved data or progress from auto-saving issues.

• The “Leave Game” button in the System Menu now displays “Save & Exit” if you are the game’s host. This is to clarify that the game always saves when you leave it.

Bug Fixes

• Fixed an exploit where players could clip through doors using the Sword Shockwave ability.

• Fixed a bug where players sometimes could not select a waypoint to teleport or a coffin to respawn in.

• Fixed a potential crash when navigating the Build Menu.

• Fixed a potential crash triggered by a player destroying a Refinement station while another player looked at recipes.

• Fixed a potential crash that could occur when interacting with Servants.

• Fixed a potential crash caused by renaming stations or containers.

• Fixed a crash related to castle relocation that could occur if a player left the territory during the relocation process while building.

• Fixed a potential crash when interacting with the Devourer.

If you're having issues with the game, make sure to take a look at our known bugs and fixes to see if there's a potential solution to get you back into Vardoran as quickly as possible!

We're always grateful for your help in translating the game at https://crowdin.com/project/v-rising-game

IMPORTANT NOTE! Please report any issues you encounter after this patch (https://bugs.playvrising.com/).

ADDITIONAL REMINDER! Regularly back up your server saves! Here's how to do it.

Enjoy your weekend in Vardoran!

Hello Vampires.

We aim to patch V Rising today at 8:00 UTC / 10:00 CEST.

This hotfix brings the following fixes and updates:

General

• Merged the current “Accessibility” Options Menu tab settings into the “Graphics/Controller” setting tabs to reduce the total number of tabs, making it easier to navigate the Options menu.

• The Spellbook menu ability bar can now be navigated with the left analog stick when replacing abilities using a gamepad.

Bug Fixes

• Fixed an issue where replacing a window castle wall with a normal castle wall would cause attached objects such as curtains, castle window growth, or spider webs to yield their dismantle cost twice.

• Fixed a server crash that could occur when attempting to dismantle floors in very big castles (castles beyond standard limitation settings).

• The camera should now default to the lowest pitch setting when playing with a gamepad.

• Fixed a bug where ability animations would not show correctly when having high attack speed.

Balance Changes

General balance tweaks to the offensive power of defensive spells and boosts to select offensive projectile and area spells. In general, physical damage, along with defensive spells, have proved to be too strong in comparison to offensive spell damage builds. These changes aim to even out the playing field slightly.

Additionally, some changes aim to reduce the power of stacking movement speed and movement-enhancing spells.
