00:00Water has returned to Embervale.
00:02Welcome to Valewater Basin, a brand new water biome shaped by the ruins of the Old World.
00:14The first massive addition to the Embervale is the Valewater Basin, a new high level area
00:20as beautiful as it is dangerous.
00:22Step straight into the landscape of tropical jungles, lakes and waterways and discover
00:28long lost ruins and temples.
00:31Some of these are abandoned and in many others you will meet the Drac, a reptilian species
00:36who fought humanity for control of the region for ages.
00:40When the Shroud took over Embervale, this ancient enemy resurfaced to reclaim their place in
00:45the world.
00:46And, unlike you, they can actually fight underwater.
00:51You shall fight them on the beaches.
00:54You shall fight them on the mangroves.
00:58These new bad guys aside, the area is home to new building blocks, terrain types as well
01:03as the new furniture but also a brand new feature to play with.
01:08The Water in and Shroud is simulated in real time.
01:12You can bring water to your builds and even use water wheels to prove your crafting.
01:17Use a variety of tools to generate, carry, drain water and siphon or fill up lakes, puddles
01:23and barrels.
01:25The world is your oyster.
01:27Now, there are limits to how much water the game and your computer can simulate before something
01:32starts smelling of burnt plastic again.
01:35But as with everything else, we will keep working on performance so that everyone can get the
01:39most out of and shrouded.
01:41The watering can now shows you useful information about each plan and lets you set maximum growth
01:46state.
01:47Yes, including trees.
01:49You asked, we answered.
01:52Last but not least, water currently passes through objects and props.
01:55But we know many of you will want to build underwater bases, whether it's a secret entrance to
02:00your castle or a full-on Atlantis.
02:03So we've included water barrier walls, which can be placed vertically or horizontally.
02:08Look fantastic.
02:09And most importantly, don't let water through.
02:15Now we recently shared a depth update with you on a bunch of changes we're making to
02:19improve and shroud it.
02:20We don't have the time to go into that here.
02:22So make sure you go check it out in the one of the corners of the screen.
02:27Here's the thing.
02:28Thanks to your feedback on the video, we have improved the chances to get high-end loot in
02:32gold chests.
02:35Great Swords.
02:36Finally, you can slash your way into enshradden and whether you've got something to compensate
02:41for or you want to look cool as hell, you're sure to make an impression.
02:46There is also a new skill to unlock for two-handed weapons that will give you the spin to win
02:50attack so many of you have asked for.
02:54While we're talking about that, there is a bunch of new skills available, including some
02:58that will help you swim longer, dodge attacks underwater, increase your resistances and
03:03also, yes, go full Spartan mode on your enemies.
03:10Of course, all of this comes with a level cap increase from 35 to 45, with weapon levels
03:15increasing to 15.
03:17Now, everybody, quality of life.
03:20Here's a bunch of things that are cool enough to warrant a shoutout.
03:24Number one.
03:25Players can now leave during hollow-haul runs and continue at the last visited save point
03:29at the later time.
03:30Number two.
03:31Server admins can now add filter tags to their servers.
03:34This makes it easier for other players to find a just perfect new home.
03:38Number three.
03:39Server bans are now persistent after server restart.
03:42This should notably help protect resource worlds from griefing and from Steve.
03:48Number four.
03:49Just like the good old days of Arena FPS, key and button rebinds are more flexible.
03:54Number five.
03:55As mentioned in the dev update video, chests and defeated foes now remember their state,
04:00so no more cheesing the loot.
04:02They will respawn normally after the area has been left alone for long enough.
04:08But wait, there is more.
04:16Way too much to put into one video.
04:19So please head over to Steam or our website to check out the full patch notes.
04:23There is over a dozen pages this time as the update is just huge.
04:28On that note, thank you for watching the video.
04:30Please report any issues you encounter and let us know what you think in the comments.
04:35So remember to put some sunscreen on your face before you visit the water basin and we'll
04:40see you in the water.
