So, here's the changelog:
Hot news
- New map
There is a completely newly created map with new graphics, more variety and a lot of new stuff to discover.
The whole map has been created tile by tile manually, not with a generator which leads to excellent quality. - New Interface and game windows
The West 2.0 will run in fullscreen and therefore got a new modern interface. There are no borders anymore and symbols are mainly used instead of text navigation.
Furthermore we reworked all ingame screens, and improved their layout and functionality. - New Job system
The new job system is more exciting and rewards activity. That smoothens the game flow, especially in the start phase and will help keeping new players in the game. - New tutorial
The new tutorial is a lot shorter than the old one was, a lot clearer and only explains the most important features in a graphically attractive and rewarding way.
Other cool features and improvements
- When opening the bug report window the map will show coordinates to make reporting graphical issues more easier (beta only)
- The redesigned minimap has new features as well!
- Notification system that informs about events like level ups, reports, fort battles directly in the main interface and also shows game tips (did you know, that....)
- The chat is now divided into tabs per chat rooms (fort battle, county, town, whispers, ...)
- Hotkeys allow you to open screens a lot faster and navigate on the map by pressing keys on your keyboard
- Silver and Gold jobs appear randomly on the map and give higher rewards than usual
