Since its release in January 2024, Palworld has sold millions of copies, and the franchise is becoming increasingly popular. While the game has received several updates since its launch, the latest buff is unintentionally damaging the player's best items. Despite addressing minor glitches and bugs, such as Pals getting stuck and battling, the newest update is affecting item durability.
Patch 0.1.5.0 for Palworld was released on February 26th, 2024, focusing on key areas needing improvement. Updates were made to bases, Pals, networks, balance adjustments, and player issues. However, concerning items in players' inventories, the update is causing problems by not properly updating existing items and reducing their durability by half.
Double Durability On Palworld Items
The Double Durability Issue Brings Mixed Feelings
In the recent Palworld update, the game aimed to double the durability of items. However, when players logged in, they found that instead of doubling, the durability of items was halved. This happened because the values of the items weren't updated, remaining the same as before the update. User Esoup on Reddit explained, "Gear crafted prior to the update has not had its durability adjusted, resulting in gear having to be repaired to reach full durability even if it was never used."
While this might appear to be a negative issue, many players are actually pleased with this problem in Palworld's gear. In the long run, it could even be seen as advantageous. Following this patch, players don't lose items; the durability simply reverts to what it was when they first obtained them. Crafting Legendary and Epic items can be time-consuming since players need to continuously repair them. However, with this patch, Legendary Items now have better overall durability, making them more valuable over time, especially considering the difficulty in finding materials needed for repairs.
New Palworld Update Brings New Features
Bugs And Other Glitches Are Fixed
The latest patch has introduced several features and fixed various bugs in Palworld. Some of the issues addressed include enhanced accuracy with nearby objects, no longer considering riding in prohibited hunting areas as a crime, preventing Pals from getting stuck in battles or on objects, fewer restrictions on building, increased mining power, and several other minor fixes. Many of the newly added features are customizable settings, allowing players to adjust the game's difficulty to their preference.
This new Palworld patch brings significant improvements to gameplay. For fans looking to enhance their experience further, there are various mods available for download. Despite the ongoing issue with double durability, many players are viewing it positively, as nothing is actually lost; durability simply reverts to its original state. Overall, the patch addresses many player concerns and promises to enhance the overall gameplay experience, especially with the addition of adjustable settings.
