Eternal Return News

[h2]System[/h2]
[h3]New item icons[/h3]
No more rocket launcher for the assault rifle!

• Intervention, TAC-50, AK-12, Evening Star now have new images.
  

[h3] Feature to cancel "Lock In"[/h3]
Change your mind?

• You can now cancel your character and weapon selection after "Locking In".
  

[h3]Improving matchmaking[/h3]
More LP

• As players continue to gain LP, the amount of players with 500+ LP are increasing, so we are segmenting high-level player matchmaking a bit.
  

[h2]Spotlight - Changes in Area Balance[/h2]
The focus for the first area selection right now on Lumia Island for many players is usually the southeast side of the map. We are trying to redistribute some items so that starting areas become more diverse and allow more options for players. We are trying to shift some of the focus to the northwest side of the map, around Hotel and Beach, by switching the Tree of Life and Hammer locations and readjusting Fish and Chips, the food with the highest recovery, so that you have to visit both the north and south parts of the map to complete it.

[h3]Tree of Life[/h3]
Making Tree of Life appear earlier in-game so that it matters a bit more in early game strategy.

• Hotel (Day 2 —> Night 1)
  
• Forest (Night 2 —> Day 2)
  
• Cemetery (Day 3 —> Night 2)
  

[h3]Potatoes[/h3]

• Potatoes removed from Chapel.
  
• Potatoes added to Pond (located between the Temple and Avenue entrance).
  

[h3]Ingredients[/h3]
Due to Iron Sheet, players can easily craft at least two pieces of upper-tier equipment early game, and can easily make EOD Suit easily in the mid-game. We’re getting rid of the hammer in the oft-visited southeast and adjusting item locations so that players need to visit the northwest part of the map to complete Iron Sheet.

[h3]Wickeline[/h3]
The 6-minute "Vital Force" buff you gain by slaying Wickeline is tuned a bit too high in team modes. Facing Wickleine will now be a bit more difficult, and she grants a bit less power in team modes.

• Wickeline HP 200
• lv → 500 + 250
• lv
  
• The icon name of the "Vital Force" buff was also appearing as "Vital Force" for the enemy receiving the debuff by it. For the sake of clarity, the icon name for the debuffed enemy was changed to "Vital Force Disturbance".
  
• "Vital Force Disturbance" no longer stacks. For example, if all 3 members of a squad attacked an enemy, "Vital Force Disturbance" was applied 3 times to said enemy. The debuff will now be applied only once - only duration will be reset.
  
• Relevant changes, such as strengthening Wickeline in Duo and Squad modes, will continue in future updates.

Say "bonjour" to Chiara, coming to Lumia Island soon. I've got a hold of her 3D model, and I'm here to share it with you!



She's clutching her bible, seemingly ready to smite any who wrong her. Or is she looking down with pity?



Gotta see all angles of that outfit, too. That's a pretty incredible dress... you think she made it herself? Maybe she was blessed with good taste.

Chiara will be having the other test subjects praying for mercy in Early Access!

In the meantime, let us know what kinda skills you think she'll have or what weapons she'll use on our Offical Discord

[h3]Founder pack additional reward[/h3]

Dear Founders,

Thank you very much for supporting Eternal Return. Eternal Return couldn't have come as far as it has without you.

Buying the Founder pack provides you with 8 characters, but some of you had already unlocked some of them prior to purchasing the pack. In order to ease any feeling of unfairness, we have been refunding all the duplicate characters.

The refunds were given as NP, the game's premium currency, which made some feel like Founder's that received refunds had actually received more benefits than Founders that didn't get any refunds. Since our many of our "long-term" Founders had bought the pack before the closed Beta had begun, we were able to give them their rewards immediately, meaning very few of them asked for refunds.

We didn't foresee the refund system being abused - we should have set a fair refund policy from the beginning. It didn't seem fair for earlier Founders to get less benefits, so we'd like to apologize for this.

We've discussed how to solve this so that all the Founders who've trusted us could get the same benefits, and we have decided to also provide NP to Founders who couldn't get a refund.

• Founders who didn't get a character refund = 2150 NP gift (equivalent to 2 characters)
  
• Founders who got 1 character refunded = 1075 NP gift (equivalent to 1 character) + 8050 A-coin (equivalent to 1 character)
  
• Founders who got 2 characters refunded = 16100 A-Coin (equivalent to 2 characters)
  
• Founders who got 3+ characters refunded: Unfortunately, we have to take back NP exceeding 2150 NP and send you the amount of refunded characters in A-coin (8020 A-coin per character)
  

We will work hard so that our incredible Founders do not regret supporting us or feel slighted, and continue to bring you the best version of Eternal Return possible.
Thank you.
