Greetings Vampires,
Update v0.2.11 delivers persistent Global Chat with a draggable floating window, full T2–T6 drop parity for Shadow Archery and Blood Sorcery armor sets, authoritative server combat loot persistence, a comprehensive Notification Settings tab with 22 toggles, and multi-stack crafting fixes.
T2–T6 Armor Drop Parity & Authoritative Loot Persistence
• Full Tri-Archetype Armor Drops: Distributed all missing T2–T6 Shadow Archery (Nightstrider, Veilstalker, Gravewalker, Shadow-Weave, Phantom) and Blood Sorcery (Hemomancer, Sanguine, Soulbound, Blood-Prince, Void-Conduit) armor pieces across enemy loot tables, bringing complete 5-piece set availability in line with Melee armor drops.
• Drop Rate Parity: Drop chances strictly mimic existing Melee rates (0.035% on standard enemies, 0.25% on elites/bosses, and 0.3% on dungeon encounters).
• Authoritative Loot Banking: Combat item drops now immediately hit the authoritative server via /api/inventory/bank-loot. Drops are safely committed to database storage so they never vanish on logout, page reload, or cross-device play.
• Zero Client Duplication: Fixed an issue where real-time combat drops could be counted twice in client inventory while only once on the server. Client inventory and database records now match 1:1.
• Capacity Overflow Protection: When your inventory is at maximum capacity, dropped equipment and items are safely held in Loot History, allowing you to claim them once bag space is cleared.
• Server Drop Table Sync: Synchronized server-side enemy drop tables with client tables so background and offline combat tasks award the exact same tri-archetype loot.
Global Chat: Persistence & Floating Draggable Window
• Persistent SSE Heartbeats: Added a 15-second server keepalive ping on /api/chat/stream, eliminating proxy, Cloudflare, and NAT dropouts during quiet conversations.
• Resilient Auto-Reconnection: Built-in connection health tracking with automatic exponential backoff reconnection—no more logging out and back in to see chat.
• Minimized Floating Window Mode: Click to transform chat into a compact, draggable window over your gameplay without dimming the screen. Continue fighting, crafting, or managing inventory while chatting live.
• Window Position Persistence: Your custom floating window position is saved locally and remembered across game sessions.
• Full-Focus Modal: Switch between the draggable floating window and the centered full-focus modal with dimmed gothic backdrop anytime.
• Red Gothic Schema: Chat controls, minimize/maximize buttons, send inputs, and settings toggles adhere to the signature Crimson Engine blood-red gothic schema.
Granular Notification Settings
• Notification Settings Tab: Added a dedicated "Notifications" tab in the Sanctuary Settings modal.
• 22 Granular Toggles: Customize toast notifications and sound alerts across Skilling, Combat, Coven, and Social categories.
• Audio & Visual Suppression: Disabling any notification type silences its chime and prevents its visual popup.
• Category & Global Controls: One-click "Enable All" and "Disable All" buttons per category, plus global bulk actions and a "Reset to Defaults" option.
• Local Persistence: Notification preferences are saved locally and restored on launch.
Coven & Social Systems
• Real-Time Coven SSE Stream: Server-sent events provide live Coven activity updates without polling.
• Vault Live Alerts: Notifications alert clan members when items are deposited or withdrawn.
• Treasury & Quests: Broadcasts announce Mark deposits, quest contributions, and completed clan quests.
• Notice Board & Milestones: Instant announcements when the Coven levels up, unlocks domicile fixtures, or updates the notice board.
• Vault Modal Deposit Fix: Fixed Item Detail modal deposit flow to accurately sync vault state immediately upon deposit.
Crafting & Progression Systems
• Multi-Stack Material Consumption: The crafting engine now traverses all inventory slots containing the required material, ensuring crafting multi-stack items consumes materials and yields crafted goods consistently even if ingredients were split across separate stacks.
• Server-Side Ingredient Preservation: Server progression now properly simulates ingredient preservation for Elixir of Forgery (+15% Forging), Elixir of Runic Care (+15% Runecrafting), Coven Cauldron Preservations (+5%), and Frugal Alchemy (+5%).
• Action Interval Quantization: Aligned server tick interval rounding with client calculation formulas to eliminate timing drift during background progression.
