Hey everyone,
As I know you’re all very interested in the status of our next Game Update for PS2onPS4, I wanted to provide a brief update summary.
This is our first true game update since launch, so the scope of the changes will be much larger than the two preivous updates. The size of the download will be roughly the same as our previous patch (approx 2GB); btw, we’re working to reduce this in future updates. Our intention was to release GU1 this week, but given the number of additions/changes going in, we wanted to spend more time polishing everything up before we submit to Sony for approval. At this point, we are very close to finalizing the build and hope to submit within the next few days. At which point, we will just need to wait on approval before publishing to the Live US and EU servers.
Below is the high-level list of what is going into Game Update 1. It’s likely that we will include more changes/additions prior to publishing to the servers, and will re-post and updated list once we’re closer to going live. We’re likely going to release a GU1 preview video sometime mid-next week that showcases many of the changes in-game.
New Features:
Outfits: Similar to clans or guilds, join up with your friends and leave your mark on Auraxis.Custom naming and character name tags, unlimited members with ranks, message of the day, and a dedicated voice chat channel Setting an outfit decal lets Outfits leave their mark in game and share their affiliation. Outfits that have the highest combined score after a base is captured will have their decal displayed on banners around the base and on the map region information panel.
New Player Directives -Directives are much like achievements; with goals, scoring and rewards. These the New Player Directives are very helpful for new players getting started and learning the ropes. Once all have been
completed successfully, players will receive a reward.
Teleport to any continent/Koltyr instance that your friends are on.To improve the ability for players to find their on-line friends in-game, there is now a “Warp to…” button in the Social>>Friends menu. You just need to select a player from your friends list and click “Warp to ”, and you will be teleported to the
continent, or Koltyr instance they are located on.
New Weapon:
NS-AM7 Archer (Engineer)The Archer anti-material rifle was developed by Nanite System to
counter the heavily armored MAX, providing an effective option at range
for dealing with the unique threat of the exo-suitsGold and Black variants.
