Pact of the Flame is live; it adds long-requested social tools, fresh building options, and a wide set of gameplay and world improvements. Our Enshrouded hosting is already updated so you can jump in with friends straight away.
On the gameplay side, you can now reset individual skills; parry windows are clearer on more enemies and projectiles; and dodge or blink timings line up better for wand users. A new tameable farming animal appears in the Kindlewastes; villagers and livestock benefit from tidier pathfinding and routine fixes.
Multiplayer is simpler to organise with in-game text chat and optional voice chat that hosts or admins can enable. A new Social tab lists everyone online; you can mute or adjust volumes; check permissions; and locate players on the world map. An emote wheel replaces the old sit key for quick reactions.
Building gets useful quality-of-life changes. You can toggle a first-person camera while constructing; freely rotate decorative props on all axes; and use two new tools: an overgrowth editor for ivy and similar foliage; plus a decay tool to add or remove worn edges on block walls. Decorative placement for food, drinks, and potions arrives; more than seventy new or previously locked props are available; and two new building materials round things out. A seasonal trader brings vanity and décor items and can stay on as a resident.
The world has seen updates across multiple locations, including expanded settlements, new Springlands camps and farms, and an Event Honor Hall in the Albaneve Summits. Audio and tech get attention too with sound occlusion; extra UI sounds; a reduced stutter; improved texture streaming; and networking tweaks to cut rubber-banding.
Highlights at a glance:
- In-game text chat; optional voice chat with proximity or global modes; per-player mute and volume controls.
