We're incredibly excited here at Eternal Crusade headquarters. It might be because we're inside the Eye of Terror and it might be because Slaanesh is paying us a visit. Perhaps both.
While we're in full production on patch #24, our test and deployment team is working on getting #23 into your hands.
While you can say "here are the features for launch", patch #24 is also pre-launch and adds more of everything, balance, performance improvements, bugfixes etc.
This work continues post launch in two pipelines. One is working on the regular content updates and general improvements/fixes and the other pipeline, which is now a month in is preparing the monthly/quarterly updates. All free because we love you. (We actually don't, we just want your money).
Some highlights in #23 before patch notes hit:
- Character wipe due to updated Character Progression, supply drops and tokens system.
We will keep the fast progression, however, so you should continue to have quick progression. You will start out with default weapons and mods for your class, and must earn them by buying Supply Drops or standard versions of the weapons in the store with Tokens. After each match, you will earn about half your XP earned in Tokens (soon to be known as Requisition/Teef).
- Veterans
- More Wargear, items, including visual customization
- Supply Drops
- Token system
- Guilds and guild vs guild (I hope the latter makes it in #23)
- New World Map
- PVE is back (with improvements and Hard Mode)
- Banshees
- Waaagh (working properly)
- Battle loadout selection
- Balancing, bugfixes and improvements (BBI's)
That's all for now. Thank you for your continued support, it's why we're here and it's why we'll continue to be here for years to come, updating with free expansions.
