Capsa update for 19 April 2019

For this update we’ve overhauled the pets, taking core improvements done in our recent major locomotion update and using those same back-end systems to power the pets. We’ve also looked at AI improvements, giving all pets the ability to roam around. The standard follow-mode has been enhanced also, which now automatically get pets unstuck should they find themselves unable to reach the player.

There is also a cute selection of outfits for the cats plus some new coat patterns (including Calico and Tortoiseshell), with outfits being added to the Capsa Starter Pack DLC and Patterns going in the Pet Essential DLC. Anyone who already owns it will get these as a free update!

Second to this is significantly expanded Rohai area, plus major improvements to Rahopuru, Whakarua, Hianga, Pekanga, Paka and Kaimatara areas. Rohai features new beached shipwrecks, additional structures and a new cave complex. There are also underwater wrecks near a new coral reef.

We’ve improved the pathways so you can effectively ride a horse from Mataara all the way to Kura area now. Plus there are various improvements along the coastline in the direction of Hianga.

Thirdly is our Easter Event, can you hunt and collect all 40 Easter Egg baskets hidden around the newly expanded Rohai area? If you manage to complete that we've also added 4 new Vista Points to newly created locations as we a Locked Item to find and picklock in Hianga.

In additional to all of this, we've also included several bug-fixes to a range of reported issues over the past couple weeks, please let us know if you continue to have any issues.
