Since the last Hotfix update, we have been working on fixing some technical issues but also improving some systems and features based on feedback. We have talked in the previous dev blog about improvements that we would like to do in the next period and here are some of the things that you can already check out in this patch.
This update contains:
Added
We have improved some systems and added new things based on the feedback
- Stamina improvements - Players will not lose stamina at the same rate when they are in combat compared to when they are just exploring the levels
- Jump sector and onboarding - Players will be able to choose to progress to a new sector or stay in the current sector. This will happen when the Player reaches the required completed missions for the sector jump
- Compass and navigation changes - We have improved the UI/UX of the compass and the navigation through the levels making it easier to find task targets
- Quick join option - Players will be able to join open lobbies quickly. The system will look into the player's sector and difficulty data to find the most suitable lobby to join
- Exit game feedback form - We want players to have the ability to give feedback as soon as they finish their sessions without trying to find the best place to write your feedback. You can now do that with the click of a button when you go to exit the game
Minor things added
- New icon for Pet empower status effect
- Added Chat message character limit
- Increased settings: max FOV value from 120 to 140
- Added icon in the Session options so players know if their friend is currently in the game
- Added sorting of the friends list in the Session options. First displayed will be players that are in the game, then the friends based on their username
- New icon for the level exit task target
Balance
- Balanced difficulty on Easy and Hard mode
- Pet Turret support mode damage and fire rate
- Gamma Fury Petgun damage
