Quote4:09 AM] Lurler: @everyone We wanted to share some updates with you guys, as it's been a bit quiet here lately :smiley:

So, what are the news?

We are currently working on a large update that will include newbie protection which should help new players learn the game easily without worries about losing items or LP. Initially it was supposed to be a small patch, but it has grown so much that we will release it as large update, but thankfully no need for wiping the servers this time! :smiley:

This update will also include many balancing changes, including increased LP gain from quests. There are also many requested fixes and improvements. It should really change the feel of the game for all players. The game has just been release into the early access this month and we are working hard to make all of the necessary changes that were requested by players. I hope you can enjoy the game more after that patch. Oh, and we will finally be able to release Steam Trading Cards as well!

Then, in early May we will also release a large content update and more importantly new PvE game mode for players who prefer a more relaxed experience without need for combat between players, with focus on creative development and long term play. Meanwhile, this will enable us to make PvP even more engaging with more powerful explosives, but also more fair with offline rading protection and other changes. This will allow players to separate based on their preferences: either brutal PvP or relaxed PvE.

After that we plan to introduce a complete overhaul to the entire game with new electricity system. This update will include almost a hundred new technologies for buildings and items which would make it possible for us to reduce the LP grind, since the total amount of content will be much bigger, so progression speed can be increased even further (LP gain to unlock new technologies).

This is more or less it for the near future! :smiley:

To clarify, there is a small correctionΓÇöthe next major update will be released later in May, we don't have enough time to finish all the remaining tasks to release it earlier May as we've originally estimated. The upcoming patch grew into a pretty decent update and took much more time than we've expected :-)

So, next week we're planning to release a minor update (without wipe) with Newbies protection feature and multiple improvements and fixes but no new content.
During the May we will release PvE update with powerful bombs in PvP and offline raiding protection, with servers wipe.

Regards!
