Hello folks!
We have a new update for Flock today that makes quite a few changes to gameplay balance and introduces some new gameplay features to the game.
The headlines changes are a reduction in the required amount of creatures caught to become an expert in that family across the board to speed up this process. We have also added an ability to clear your flock completely for those players who find a full sized flock too stressful and messy.
We have made various other changes to the game and they are detailed below. These changes along with the changes from the previous update at the end of July are also available today on Playstation and Xbox platforms.
Please do get in touch at [email protected] if you have any questions or come across any bugs or issues with this patch.
Thanks!
