Greetings,
We’re excited to bring you the next round of updates based upon your feedback. As a reminder, we will be offering a free Season Pass today to the first 25,000 players starting at 8 AM PDT. We continue to focus one game performance and combat based upon your feedback. We have several awesome Halloween items coming in next weeks patch!
Languages
• Localization support for Chinese, Spanish, French, German, Portuguese and Russian
Gameplay
• Corrected the behavior of blocking with shields. Shields should now correctly block a portion of damage based upon the block value of the shield.
• Player starting clothing now has a base armor amount added to it for initial increased survivability. All player starting items reduce a portion of damage but should be upgraded by looting armor upon landing on the Island.
• We identified and fixed several bugs regarding how hits were calculated. A weapon's ability to hit should feel more consistent to players. Weapon types (axe, sword, 1 hand/2hand) should feel more standardized by class.
• One handed weapons have had their hit range extended slightly to accommodate movement speed of combat.
• Polearm (Spear) had a larger refactor due to inadequate hitbox detection. The hit box now more closely approximates the animation visible to the player.
• Refactored collision on several world assets including the Arena. Players should find that collision of the bezels and other modified geometry now more closely approximates what they see.
• Fixed several LOD’s for improved performance.
• Dual Wield speed bonus increased to 25%
• Dual Wield damage bonus increased to 15%
• Optimized weapon assets
UI
• Updated Store layout
• Fixed UI bug that makes it appear as though items have been duplicated when inventory is full
• Support and currency conversion for 40 different currency types
• Text on several items simplified
• Season Passes display a season number when in inventory
We greatly appreciate the feedback you have given us and will continue to work on improving the game you are helping us build. We are looking to have our first regional server group online with-in the next week (starting with the EU) as well as several other enhancements you have requested (i.e. spectating upon death). Have a great weekend and see you in game!
Sincerely,
Industry Games
