Greetings, Dominators! Dominance v 0.1.235 is here — read about all the changes in this post and also about our plans for the enarest future!
Training grounds
In this patch we wanted to present the players with the basis for our Training grounds: you can go there by clicking the button above “Play”. You will be instantly moved to the polygon .
This version of Training grounds has:
- Seeker selection available at any moment
- Weapons, armor and artefacts lying around the map, in addition to the drops from normal chests.
- The whole map open for exploration and the zone not shrinking
- Up to 27 players present on one polygon
- Player damage to each other disabled
In the future (February - mid March) Training grounds will recieve:
- Special zones in each map are where gear is constantly respawned
- This areas will also have test dummies with 4 levels of defense: 0, 25%, 50% and 75%.
- Ability to teleport around the map for easier exploration
- Bosses for each area, which respawn upon being killed
We will monitor the feedback about the Training grounds and take into account your ideas to make it better.

Nearest future plans (this February)
- Weapons will get the ability to level up by dealing damage We want to lower the impact of luck and random on the player’s ability to get good gear for the late-game. By dealing damage any weapon will accumulate experience, which can level up it to a higher rarity. Damage dealt will be counted both to other players and the bosses
- Weapons will be tied to map areas To accompany the previous change, we also want to tie different weapons to different areas of the map. Hopefully this will lower the randomness of acquiring the gear even more, and help the players to build their Seekers more consistently.
