Dofus 2 2.0.5 — patch notes (2010)

Optimizations and performance:

A new method for character colorization and shadow handling, delivering a significant performance gain of around 20%, is being rolled out across all characters in the game. The characters affected by this optimization in this patch are the following:
- Male Xelor
- Female Xelor
- Female Osamodas
- Female Feca
- Female Enutrof
Inventory change handling is optimized.
The world map now loads faster, and using zoom on the map is smoother.

Installer:

The Linux installer once again correctly assigns execution rights to the "UpLauncher" program at the end of installation. This issue used to, in some cases, cause the game to fail to launch after installation.
Improvement to the DOFUS uninstaller on Linux. In some cases, the uninstaller might not fully uninstall the game.

Connection and game launch:

The default game connection port is now port 443.
Several issues preventing the client from loading correctly are fixed.
The overall stability of the connection server is improved.

Real estate agency:

The real estate agencies of Bonta and Brakmar are now accessible from the professions hall. A devblog article on this topic is available: [DOFUS 2.0 client improvements]

Inventory:

The inventory display is completely revised to offer an interface much closer to the one used in DOFUS 1.29. The size of the icons in the inventory is increased and item tooltips are replaced with a fixed "cartouche" panel. A devblog article on this topic is available: [DOFUS 2.0 client improvements]
Items acquired during the game session are now added at the beginning of the inventory rather than at the end.
The order of items in the inventory is kept after a disconnection/reconnection.
Item icons are no longer flipped in the inventory.
The inventory no longer causes an invalid Kama quantity to be displayed. This change also fixes the display of excessive Kama quantities.
Moving an item to the end of the inventory no longer causes an unexplained shift of the inventory's scrollbar. This issue used to hide the last row of items in the inventory.
The pods bar in the inventory no longer empties out when the player is overloaded.
Item quantities that are too long no longer overflow their item slot; the numbers are truncated with an ellipsis and are readable by hovering the mouse over them.
The selected sort order in the inventory is kept after a change to the inventory's contents.

Chat interface ("chat"):

A new chat interface, closer to the one used in version 1.29 (without tabs, and with channel selection checkboxes), is now available by default. However, it's still possible to use a tabbed chat interface by enabling the corresponding option from the options interface. A devblog article on this topic is available: [DOFUS 2.0 client improvements]
The chat interface's scrollbar no longer automatically scrolls back up when switching tabs.
The shortcuts for using channels (/p, /r, etc.) now also work when typed in uppercase (/P, /R, etc.).
The "/invisible" command works correctly.
Font sizes in "Medium", "Small", and "Large" display are changed. The default size, "Medium", is shrunk to allow six lines of text to be displayed.
The list of channels for each tab is now displayed when hovering the mouse over the tab.
When a new message is received, if that message is displayed in the current tab, other tabs no longer blink.
A single press of the up arrow is now enough to display the previous message from the history.
When a default channel is set and all messages without shortcuts are sent to it, using the history to resend a global message works correctly.
The issue preventing customization of the last two tabs is fixed.
Switching tabs works correctly, even when using the corresponding keyboard shortcuts.
The mouse no longer triggers the display of the map-change arrows when hovering over the chat interface if it is expanded.
The "²" character can once again be displayed in the chat interface.

Group interface:

A button to restrict all fights to group members is added.
Characters present in a group are once again sorted in descending order of initiative in the group interface.
Player portraits in the group interface now display correctly.

Characteristics interface:

The characteristics interface is revised; advanced characteristics are now accessible from a tab present in the base interface. Buttons provide direct access to the profession and alignment interfaces. The interface is now decoupled from the display of the character and their equipped items. A devblog article on this topic is available: [DOFUS 2.0 client improvements]

Interfaces:

The bar grouping the buttons for accessing the game's main interfaces is revised to allow direct one-click access to certain interfaces.

In the Zaap interface, the compass button correctly indicates the direction of the relevant Zaap on the minimap.
When a fight starts, the combat options (call for help, restrict to group, etc.) displayed above the fight's crossed swords are no longer visible above the interfaces.
The spectator interface is changed to display each team's combat options below the member list.
After selecting a character, the game window is renamed to take on the name of the selected character.
On the game login interface, a link is added to allow creating an Ankama account.
Focus remains active on the bottom bar interface, even when clicking the chat interface's text field.

Characters taking part in a fight are now displayed correctly in the friends list interface (thanks to the use of a sword-shaped icon).

Breeding:

It is now possible to sort the content of the stable's and pasture's mount lists by clicking the list headers, according to four criteria: mount type (breed), mount gender, mount name, and mount level. These sorting methods can be combined. For example, it's possible to sort your mounts by type, then by gender, by clicking the "Gender" header first, then the "Type" header.
A default sort order is now applied to the mount list in the stable and in the pasture. The order of the sort criteria is as follows: Type, Gender, then Name.
It is now possible to rename the currently mounted mount directly from the breeding interface.
The mount lists in the pasture and in the stable now show tooltips on hover indicating the mount's breed.
The description tooltip for a mount certificate now also displays when hovering over the certificate's description text (and not only when hovering over its icon).
The breeding interface no longer blocks other interfaces from opening (the Grimoire, for example).
Dragoturkey icons are fixed (for example, the Orchid Dragoturkey's icon used to be a pink dragoturkey with white stripes, whereas its actual coat is a solid pink).
Newly born mounts are now displayed correctly if the corresponding filter is selected in the pasture.

Mounts:

Animations:

Characters:

The appearance of the female Sram character is completely revised. The appearance of all NPCs using this character is regenerated. A devblog article on this topic is available: [Sram 2.0 overhaul]

Spells:

The Sram's Double now copies all of its owner's characteristics, including PvP resistances, fixed resistances, and damage reflection (bonuses obtained via spells during combat are, however, not taken into account).
Spirit Leash: the spell resurrects allied monsters as summons (they are therefore subsequently treated as summons and moved in the "timeline" to play after the summoner).
Immobilization Trap: the trap's area of effect and trigger area are now identical.

Combat:

Rapidly chaining actions in combat no longer causes AP loss.
Rapidly chaining actions in combat now works correctly, even when the number of chained actions exceeds 2. No action is now skipped.

The spell casting range refreshes correctly when a character is no longer carried by a Pandawa.
Focus is no longer lost when clicking the numbers indicating lost health points.

The spell icons displayed next to the cursor after selecting a spell now display correctly when chaining multiple attacks (the spell icons were sometimes incorrectly shown as no longer castable on a target).
The range display for a spell without line of sight no longer shows in the same color used to indicate that the line of sight is blocked.
Only items that restore health, energy, or allow mounting and dismounting can be used during the combat preparation phase.
During the combat preparation phase, the button for blocking spectators is now replaced with one for hiding entities, in order to simplify player placement.

The overall workings of the Minotoror Labyrinth are revised. Explanations of how it works are given by the NPC Lorkos.

The Incurable (Oni) and Putrid Bark (Dark Abrakleur) spells can now be triggered outside of their targets' turns.

Challenges:

Selflessness: the challenge no longer takes life steal into account.

Artificial intelligence:

The cell determination for successfully aligning with an enemy and using spells that can only be cast in a straight line is improved.
The use of spells that can target both allies and enemies is improved; the AI now correctly uses these spells on enemy targets.
Handling of the "Kills the target" effect is improved: the weight of this effect is considerably increased and takes into account targets' maximum health points. The AI will therefore try to choose targets with the highest maximum health points when using this effect.
The Sram's Double no longer stops when it triggers a trap.
The AI now correctly handles invisible characters who are being carried.

Professions:

Payment during cooperative crafting attempts is working again.
When a profession experience gain causes a profession level-up, the difference in experience points needed to gain a level is no longer lost.

Fishing:

Characters move correctly to go fishing.

Items:

Items still in development (generally preceded by the characters "[" and "]") are no longer exported to the game's data files and can no longer be viewed in the auction houses' item search engine.
Recipes for items still in development are no longer present in the game's data files. Although impossible to craft without the necessary ingredients, these recipes were nevertheless still visible in crafters' recipe lists.
The equip test for items requiring their bonuses to be equipped now also works when the item you want to equip is part of a stack of identical items (with the same effects and characteristics).
Many successive equip and unequip operations can no longer cause items to disappear.
