The Steam Game Festival (June 9th - June 15th) is just around the corner, and since Elteria Adventures will be opening its doors for a time-limited Open Alpha, we’re preparing one more update for the occasion. Said update carries some good news, and some bad news: namely, the implementation of two big updates, and a server wipe.
- Crafting and Rarity system: With this system in place, every time you craft any piece of armor or a weapon, you’ll have a chance of creating an item of better quality and with the stats to show. With enough patience (or luck), you’ll be able to power up your character in a way that reinforces your playstyle even further than ever before.
- Wild Area: a large area accessible since the 3rd character level that features stronger monsters, an ability to build both in and out of your Private Zone (with vast patches of unclaimed land you can make your own base on), and an opportunity to freely battle other players (or cooperate with them, if you’re into that).
As for the bad news:
- Leveling the playfield: Sadly, these two updates bring huge balancing issues to the table, especially in regards to equipment currently present in the game - which means that, in order to avoid such problems, we’ll have to wipe the alpha servers. Still, that doesn’t mean that you’ll have to start completely from scratch.
- Catching up event: this update will also introduce a time-limited event during which you’ll have to find a certain NPC in order to be granted a batch of powerful items that will allow you to easily catch up to - or even outpace - your previous progress. This means that returning players (as well as savvy new ones) will be able to enter the Wild Area and test out the new Crafting and Rarity systems shortly after this update launches.
Once again, we apologize for any and all inconvenience this server wipe might have caused you, and hope that it will result in Elteria Adventures becoming a much more exciting and satisfying experience for you. Be sure to discuss this, or any other aspect of the game, as well as follow the project news on our Discord server!
And see you next time!
