Shared Dungeon Instances for Married Couples

Married couples can now share dungeon instances without needing to form a party.

New Features

• New marriage_shared_dungeons setting (enabled by default).
• Spouses entering the same dungeon are automatically routed into the same instance.
• Works similarly to party instance sharing while allowing couples to play independently.
• Party and matchmaking systems still take priority.
• Can be disabled through configuration if desired.

---

Dungeon & Rift XP Sharing Fixed

One of the most requested marriage improvements is finally here.

Previously, XP sharing only worked in the overworld. Dungeon, Rift, and Wave XP was deposited into instance banks before the marriage split system could process it.

Fixed

• XP sharing now works inside:
  • Dungeons
  • Rifts
  • Wave-based content
• Couples now receive their proper XP split regardless of where the XP was earned.
• Shared XP only applies when both spouses are actively participating in the same activity.

---

Piggyback System Overhaul

Piggyback received several major upgrades.

Cross-World Piggybacking

Players riding their spouse will now remain attached when crossing world boundaries.

Examples

• Entering dungeons
• Using portals
• World transfers
• Instance teleports

The rider automatically follows the carrier into the destination world.

---

Automatic Death Detach

Piggyback sessions now immediately end when either spouse dies.

Why?

This prevents situations where:

• A player dies inside a dungeon.
• They are removed from the instance.
• The piggyback system later attempts to snap them back across the map.

The session is safely cleaned up before any death-related teleports occur.

---

Teleport & Disconnect Protection

Piggyback now monitors missing carriers.

If the carrier:

• Disconnects
• Fails to transfer properly
• Becomes unavailable for several seconds

The piggyback session automatically detaches instead of attempting dangerous re-synchronization later.

---

Free-Look Camera

Piggyback riders are no longer forced to stare directly forward.

New Settings

• piggyback_seat_free_look_enabled
• piggyback_seat_free_look_degrees

Default behavior allows riders to freely look around within a 180° viewing cone while remaining seated.

For servers that prefer the old behavior, free-look can be disabled entirely.

---

Backup & Restore Integration

EndlessMarriage now integrates with the EndlessLeveling backup system.

Included Data

• Marriage data
• Ring progression
• Marriage overflow logs

Supported Operations

• Full suite backups
• /el restore all

This provides much stronger protection against data loss and simplifies disaster recovery.

---

Marriage Home Improvements

Several quality-of-life improvements have been added to shared homes.

Hidden Coordinates

Home coordinates are now hidden by default.

Instead of displaying exact coordinates immediately, the UI now shows:

Home set • Coordinates hidden

Players can reveal coordinates using a dedicated VIEW COORDS button.

This helps prevent accidental coordinate leaks during streaming, screenshots, or recordings.

---

Home Overwrite Confirmation

Setting a new marriage home now requires confirmation when one already exists.

This prevents accidental relocation of a shared home through a misclick.

---

View Spouse Profile

A new VIEW PROFILE button has been added.

When EndlessGuilds is installed:

• Opens the spouse's profile card.
• Works even while the spouse is offline.
• Uses Guilds' existing profile viewer.

The button automatically hides itself if the profile system is unavailable.

---

Ring Progression Fixes

Offline Prestige Requirements Fixed

Ring progression previously relied on online prestige data.

This could incorrectly lock ring upgrades whenever a spouse was offline.

Fixed

• Ring requirements now check the highest prestige level from stored player data.
• Offline spouses are fully supported.
• Ring progression remains accurate regardless of online status.

---

Tiered Ring Rebalance

Marriage rings have been rebalanced across all tiers.

Defense Buffed

Defense bonuses were increased significantly at every tier.

Strength Adjustments

• A Tier: 65 → 63
• S Tier: 120 → 100

Sorcery Adjustments

• A Tier: 65 → 63
• S Tier: 120 → 100

Flow Adjustments

• E Tier: 15 → 16
• D Tier: 25 → 26
• B Tier: 65 → 64
• S Tier: 180 → 160

The overall goal was to make Defense more competitive while slightly reducing the dominance of the highest-end offensive ring bonuses.

Configuration Changes

• EndlessMarriage: 2.13.0 → 3.1.0
• Config Version: 4 → 6
