We are moving the release date of these DLCs to May 6th.
Why would we move the release date again, if we have already moved it once for the sake of bugfixing? This decision is not just about polishing, though we continue to do so as we test the new quests with our VIPs. We also want to be able to deliver some (anticipated) content to be released alongside the DLCs.
In particular, here’s what we’re working on for Endless Legend for the free patch that accompanies the release:
Community Patch Bugfix Integration
Many of you probably know of the Endless Legend Community Patch, and indeed some of you have asked us before to integrate it into an official patch. For those of you who have not heard of it before, here’s the gist: The Endless Legend Community Patch (or ELCP for short) is an ambitious modding project, spearheaded by LeaderEnemyBoss, aimed at addressing bugs and improving balancing and AI in Endless Legend (you can learn more about it in our Community Spotlight on the project). The scope and quality of the mod are exceptional, and it is quite popular with many players, and we have even used it on stream ourselves.
LeaderEnemyBoss has kindly agreed to let us integrate his work in an official patch. While we will not be merging the whole suite of the ELCP into the official version, we have been able to add several of his bugfixes from the ELCP to the upcoming patch, like fixes to a few quests or to a serious issue with Urkans and defeated factions. Of course, we will share a full list of these fixes when the patch releases alongside the DLC.
Auriga Map
The Endless Galaxy is full of ancient wonders, and many of our players are always eager to learn more about it, explore it in new ways, or even add to it with their own projects. From discussions and speculation on the forum to entire pen and paper RPG projects, we constantly see players looking for deeper knowledge of the Endless, and the geography of Auriga is probably among the top contenders for “most requested information about the Endless Universe.” Since the wonders of Auriga are a major theme of the Monstrous Tales DLC, we have decided that rather than simply giving you a map, we will instead create a fixed map for Endless Legend, so you can explore Auriga yourself!
Based on a sketch made by Jeff many years ago, this scenario presents the definitive map of Auriga (and if you’ve ever asked Jeff a lore question, you know how hard getting a definitive answer from him can be.) On it, you will find many places you have heard about before in quests or other descriptions, but also locations our community has never heard about before. We hope you’ll enjoy exploring Auriga, and look forward to any new discussions and projects this might inspire.
We hope that all of you will enjoy this new and updated content that will be added in the patches accompanying these DLCs, and will have fun exploring the mysteries of Auriga and the Endless Universe in the new quests of Monstrous Tales and Dark Matter.
