What's new in Clan Lord Demo 1136

Aug 8, 2019
  • Some Fens have been trained not to juggle their weapons while walking.

New in Clan Lord Demo 1076 (Jul 31, 2018)

  • Repaired some stairs in an old keep

New in Clan Lord Demo 1073 (Jun 30, 2018)

  • The tell blade has been re-released.
  • Boostus is back!
  • Several bloodmage bug fixes, and some buffs

New in Clan Lord Demo 1049 (Jan 4, 2018)

  • Champion stones now only require Channel Master. Ranks in specific stones are translated behind the scenes to Channel Master ranks. This means you no longer have to specialize in a couple stones, and instead can use any of the 4 stones with the same efficiency. The amount of bonus from channel master has also been tweaked slightly, and the bonus from fell has been removed (but should be made up for for most people by the removal of the need to specialize). These numbers might change a bit more over the next few updates.
  • The Loremasters are beginning to step into the light.

New in Clan Lord Demo 1045 (Dec 7, 2017)

  • Certain items in a certain far-off mountain should be significantly more common.
  • Several monsters which had been inadvertently shaved have been reupholstered.

New in Clan Lord Demo 1003 (Feb 16, 2017)

  • Housing mannequins now correctly display shifting tie-dyed cloaks and shirts.
  • We had some reports of “choppy” sound playback in the v1000 Mac client. With any luck, v1003 fixes that.

New in Clan Lord Demo 990 (Nov 17, 2016)

  • We hope that the Mac client’s erstwhile difficulty with text styles has been solved.
  • Likewise, its main Preferences dialog should now actually, uh, modify your preferences. Whoops.

New in Clan Lord Demo 987 (Oct 31, 2016)

  • Some of that client’s dialog boxes received cosmetic touchups. If you find any that don’t seem to be working as well as last version, please /BUG them.

New in Clan Lord Demo 933 (Sep 24, 2015)

  • No changes received this time.

New in Clan Lord Demo 930 (Sep 3, 2015)

  • No changes worth mentioning were submitted for today’s update.

New in Clan Lord Demo 922 (Jul 10, 2015)

  • No changes this update are public.

New in Clan Lord Demo 918 (Jun 11, 2015)

  • Rare items in the mountains are twice as common! (But still crazy rare.)
  • More chests.
  • Noth Island is rainier.

New in Clan Lord Demo 912 (Apr 30, 2015)

  • Changes are occurring, albeit in a behind-the-scenes (dressing) room.

New in Clan Lord Demo 909 (Apr 9, 2015)

  • Untrainus has been significantly redone. Among the improvements:
  • Extensive untraining can no longer leave you “stranded” in an inappropriately high circle.
  • Untraining out of a subclass, back to a plain fighter (or mystic, or healer), should work better now.
  • It is now possible to untrain essentially all the way back to zero.
  • Shadowmutt took voice lessons. (Well, one lesson anyway...)
  • Assorted other smaller bugs fixed.

New in Clan Lord Demo 906 (Mar 19, 2015)

  • Deadlocked GMs fail to override “content sequester”; no new gear/quests/areas/monsters/stuff this update.

New in Clan Lord Demo 900 (Feb 26, 2015)

  • Fashion is a form of ugliness so intolerable that we have to alter it every six months. — Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)
  • New gear
  • New quests
  • New ways to look absolutely fabulous!

New in Clan Lord Demo 897 (Feb 26, 2015)

  • Come to the edge, he said. They said: We are afraid. Come to the edge, he said. They came. He pushed them and they flew. — Guillaume Apollinaire (1880–1918)
  • Good news: no news.

New in Clan Lord Demo 894 (Dec 27, 2014)

  • Be at war with your vices, at peace with your neighbors, and let every new year find you a better man. — Benjamin Franklin (1706–1790)
  • Some molehills were made into mountains.
  • Have a holly, jolly Bawkmas!

New in Clan Lord Demo 888 (Nov 24, 2014)

  • There were a surprisingly large number of internal changes, honest. But none that I’m allowed to tell you about.

New in Clan Lord Demo 885 (Nov 13, 2014)

  • There were a surprisingly large number of internal changes, honest. But none that I’m allowed to tell you about.

New in Clan Lord Demo 882 (Oct 23, 2014)

  • Nearly 100 new animals added to the coliseum whitelist.
  • It’s just possible that we might have solved the problem which was causing “Error receiving data from server” disconnections for players using the Windows client. No promises, though.

New in Clan Lord Demo 879 (Sep 11, 2014)

  • I don’t know if I’m allowed to mention what changed.

New in Clan Lord Demo 870 (Jul 30, 2014)

  • The Clan Lord server’s address has changed (or soon will), from server.clanlord.com to server.deltatao.com. We don’t yet know if this is a permanent relocation, or just a temporary change of scenery. For more info on this issue, please consult this Sentinel post.
  • The v870 Mac client will automatically make the change for you; you don’t have to do anything.
  • However if you’re still using the v867 Mac client — e.g. before it’s had a chance to auto-update itself to v870 — and if the “clanlord.com” address has already stopped working, so that you get error messages along the lines of “Failed to find server at ‘server.clanlord.com’", then you’ll need to perform a one-time repair, as follows: 1.Select the Clan Lord > Preferences... menu command.
  • 2.Click the Setup Proxy... button.
  • 3.Turn on the “Use a Proxy Server” checkbox.
  • 4.In the Proxy Address field, enter this text:
  • server.deltatao.com:5010
  • 5.Click OK to exit the Proxy Server dialog.
  • 6.Click OK again, to exit the Preferences dialog.
  • 7.Join the game, as normal.
  • Your v867 client will then update itself to v870. You won’t need to revert the “Use a Proxy Server” setting, since the new client recognizes the “deltatao.com” address as the standard one.
  • We’re a little bit uncertain about how the Windows client will fare. Hopefully it should work seamlessly; but if you have trouble connecting, go to Options > Settings... > Advanced, and turn on the “Use server[:port]” checkbox. Enter server.deltatao.com into the associated field.
  • From the “Other than that, Mrs. Lincoln, how did you like the play?” Department: work continues on at least one project, but that’s all I’m allowed to say about that.

New in Clan Lord Demo 861 (May 29, 2014)

  • Yet another loophole in the fabric of reality has been mended; those incorrigible spriggins were taking unfair advantage of it. (Never fear; we’ve left them plenty of loopholes to take fair advantage of.)

New in Clan Lord Demo 858 (May 8, 2014)

  • Last version’s spring cleaning continues. Overall we hope to have removed more old bugs than we introduced new ones. We’re confident you’ll let us know if we didn’t.
  • In particular, some mystics got their boost back. (Not literally true; but they’ll know what I mean.)
  • Being the comparatively family-friendly game that it is, Clan Lord tends to eschew four-letter words. But don’t fret; we’ve added a whole lot o’ five-letter words instead!
  • Mac Client reminder: for a few hours after the v855 Storm, three weeks ago, there was a flaw in the Mac client which caused its auto-update mechanism to fail at the very last step. A repaired v855 client was posted as soon as we discovered the trouble. But there’s a minuscule chance that some of you might still be using the bad one. If so, the symptom will be that when your client tries to update itself to v858, it will simply terminate after the download, but the new v858 client won't automatically start running. The cure is easy: look in the “Downloads” folder beside your current client. You’ll find a shiny new v858 client waiting there, all ready to go. Just drag that one out of “Downloads” into the enclosing folder, replacing the v855 client, and you should be all set. The next update will then proceed smoothly. (The discussion of this issue on the Sentinel may also be helpful to you.)

New in Clan Lord Demo 855 (Apr 17, 2014)

  • We did a pretty fair-sized spring cleaning among the scripts: the server now wastes appreciably less memory. In theory, you won’t notice any differences. But in practice, there’s always a chance that we dotted a “t” where we should have crossed an “i”; so if you spot anything misbehaving egregiously, please do /BUG it.

New in Clan Lord Demo 852 (Mar 27, 2014)

  • Healer pets got a B-A-T-H (shh!), including an overdue ear-cleaning. They should now be much more obedient to spoken commands. (In fact, this happened during the aforementioned outage, while we had nothing better to do; and thus might count as a mildly silver-tinged lining thereof.)
  • Some players had reported problems with bard music volume in the v849 Mac client. We can’t reproduce the issue here, but we did some prospective work on that code anyway. Please let us know if things have (or have not!) improved for you.

New in Clan Lord Demo 849 (Mar 6, 2014)

  • Last time around, we trained numerous gerbils — at great expense — to refit many doors in and around Puddleby. This only served to prove that gerbils make lousy carpenters. So now we’ve trained numerous hamsters — at correspondingly greater expense — to repair the repairs of the gerbils. (That had better be the end of it, because the bids we got from the stoats were frankly extortionate.)

New in Clan Lord Demo 846 (Feb 13, 2014)

  • We fixed a bunch of fairly minor bugs. With any luck, we also didn't introduce any new ones!
  • In particular, a glitch had improperly prevented many folks from attempting Rakhee's reedcat-hunting challenge. That challenge (and its rewards) have now been re-opened to everyone even those who had already completed it may try again.
  • The date-conversion NPCs in the Fairgrounds have had their clocks cleaned, so to speak. The year 2014 is now within the range of their calendars

New in Clan Lord Demo 843 (Jan 3, 2014)

  • Happy New Year!
  • All changes this version are secret.

New in Clan Lord Demo 841 (Dec 13, 2013)

  • We're gratified to report that there's always more to discover.

New in Clan Lord Demo 831 (Oct 31, 2013)

  • I'm not allowed to say what' new in the world this update. Loose lips sink ships, or make mountains out of molehills, or something.

New in Clan Lord Demo 828 (Oct 10, 2013)

  • Nothing notably new in the world this update.
  • Since v825, we’ve been gradually adding a bunch of really old cases to the Puddleby Court archives. Alas, the pesky backup gerbils haven’t coughed up the official transcripts from PY’540–573 yet.
  • The prospect of rodentiary nonfeasance — aka “Gerbil Gridlock” — couldn’t deter us from adding a crude and preliminary Election Results Tracker, as a complement to the Court archive.

New in Clan Lord Demo 825 (Sep 19, 2013)

  • Work continues on several projects.
  • The Puddleby Court archives have a new, official home. There you will find complete transcripts going back to Year 574, although records from earlier years are currently patchy at best.
