It’s party time, Miners!
Believe it or not, Deep Rock Galactic has now been live for ONE WHOLE YEAR. We launched on the 28th of February 2018, and that means it’s celebration-time with this mini-update! Developing the game and expanding it with new features and content has been (and continues to be) an absolute blast, and we are very humbled by all the great feedback and reviews we’ve been getting from you.
Thank you all for helping us turn Deep Rock Galactic into what we believe is an AWESOME game, and for being part of this wonderful community. Three cheers for you guys, for the future, and for ROCK AND STONE!
Party reminder: on Thursday 28th, we will celebrate the 1-year day with dev streams, AMAs, and other dwarven shenanigans. Read about it here!
Much love,
- The Ghost Ship Crew
--- PATCH NOTES ---
ONE YEAR CELEBRATION GOODIES -----------------------------------
SPACE RIG DRESSING: The Space Rig has been decorated and is ready for your party!
ONE YEAR CELEBRATION HAT: Pick up your Time Limited ONE YEAR CELEBRATION HAT at the Gear Shop! It’s dirt cheap!*
*It obviously lives up to the same high bar of quality you’ve come to expect from DRG equipment.
HAPPY HOUR IN THE ABYSS BAR - ALL DAY LONG: All beverages at the Abyss Bar are half off for the celebration, courtesy of DRG Management. Drink responsibly, and do remember that your Workers’ Comp does not cover injury while operating heavy mining machinery when intoxicated!
UPGRADED SUPPORTER UPGRADE -----------------------------------
We’ve wanted to add more content to the game’s Supporter Upgrade for a long time, and what better occasion to do so than the One Year Anniversary! Here are the new goodies that current and new owners have in store:
SUPPORTER WEAPON SKINS
Gilded Supporter skins for the weapons for all characters!
A VERY SPECIAL GHOST SHIP GAMES HELMET
This supporter helmet might be a little too old school for space, but it sure makes you look cool!
SPECIAL SUPPORTER GLYPHID SLAMMER
Serving one of our Supporters is always a pleasure! As a Supporter, you will get special treatment when ordering Glyphid Slammers at the Abyss Bar.
BETTER SUPPORTER SHOW-OFF IN TEXT-CHAT
Supporters now get their name and supporter icon displayed in blue gold when using the text-chat. Developers get their names displayed in green if you should be so lucky as to play with one :-)
WEEKLY ASSIGNMENTS -----------------------------------
Weekly Assignments are a new addition to the Assignment system where a new Assignment is generated each week for you to complete. Complete it and earn a hefty cache of credits and minerals.
MORE HEADWEAR -----------------------------------
Snappy Beret for your Gunner? Check. A nice, warm Beanie to cover up that bald, freezing head? Double check. A pig-iron mohawk or iron plates bolted to your skull? We got you covered. Thirteen new headwears have been added for you to look fancy in the dark.
FIXES FOR BET-C -----------------------------------
- A light ring displays the area of effect of BET-C’s grenades.
- BET-C’s friendly fire damage (once converted, that is) has been reduced. Now BET-C feels a bit more like a trusty companion than before.
- Improvements to BET-C’s friendly movement behavior, in an effort to make her stop sitting on top of the player.
SERVER LIST UI IMPROVEMENTS -----------------------------------
The server list has gotten a beefy overhaul, for an overall better overview of the different active games. We’ve improved the filtering options, and added tooltips to better explain the different icons.
CAVE GENERATION UPDATE -----------------------------------
More structures have been added to the cave generator which will result in a greater variety of levels in all mission types. Additionally, improvements to the underlying systems mean you should see more variations out of the existing cave shapes as well.
MISC -----------------------------------
- Fixed an issue the screen would flash white throughout gameplay, on GTX 970/980 graphics cards
-
New animation for checking the Terrain ScannerDidn't make it in... - Various spelling errors fixed
