Eternal Return News

Hey everyone, Aesop here with your favorite kind of update: Patch Notes. There's a lot of stuff here, so let's get started.

[h2]New Weapon Types[/h2]
I'm sure you've seen our last posts about this, but we've added a couple new weapon types to our characters. Try them out when you get the chance!

• Li Dailin - Nunchaku
  
• Hyejin - Shuriken
  
• Isol - Pistol
  

[h2]Emotes[/h2]
Winky Face
We've added a system to display emotes to show your teammates how impressed you are with their sick 1v2 win or to show your displeasure at your enemies chasing you. Just press T (default) to open up the Emote wheel and use your mouse to pick the appropriate Emote.
[h2]Assists[/h2]
More XP for you if your Jackie steals your kill!
We've added a system of "Assists" to team modes.
You will receive an assist in team modes by doing the following within 10 seconds before the target is killed:

• Damage the target
  
• Apply a debuff to the target
  
• Target steps on a trap of yours
  
• Buff or heal a team member who does any of the above to the target.
  

• Experience granted
  
  • Killer: 200 xp + 60 per level of opponent
    
  • 1 player assist: 100 xp + 30 per level of opponent
    
  • 2 player assist: 50 xp + 15 per level of opponent
    

• Hunting experience granted
  
  • 2 people hunt target: 60% each
    
  • 3 people hunt target: 47% each
    

The images displaying "Kills/Animal kills" are now just K,A,H (kill, assist, and hunt, respectively.)

[h2]Other[/h2]
More LP and more chickens! Also, reducing the cooldown of skills by half might be a little too much..

• LP Gains in Duo and Squad slightly increased.
  
• Maximum cooldown reduction lowered from 50% -> 40%
  
• Animals now respawn faster after being slain
  
  • Chicken: 4mins —> 2min 30sc
    
  • Bat: 4min 30sec —> 3min 15sec
    
  • Boar: 4min 30sec —> 3min 15sec
    
  • WIld dog: 5min —> 4min
    
  • Wolf 5min —> 4min
    
  • Bear 6min —> 5min
    
• Cemetery security console location moved
  
• Chat windows will display a "no teaming" notice to help remind players and avoid violations of Eternal Return TOS.
  [h2]Saved Plans[/h2]
  
  • When setting a route, it will now display the area which an item is totally completed.
    
  • Added a filter for hiding duplicate items and basic materials.

We want to make Eternal Return smooth and playable on PCs of all specs. We're constantly focusing on optimization and a playable experience.

• Optimized UI when moving item slots and fixed some frame drop with updating items and guides.
  
• Improved frame drop that occurred during status effects and checking tooltips
  
• Improved frame drop that occurred when animals first spawned
  
• Fixed issues where visual effects would not disappear as intended
  
• Improved sound line loading
  
• UGUI outline improvements
  

We're always trying to squash bugs that pop up

• Fixed bug displaying normal pings instead of dragging pings on some boxes.
  
• Being hit by crowd control will cancel skills that you have already "queued up"
  
• Fixed tooltips to correctly reflect cooldown reduction
  
• Crossbow skill now correctly knocks back nearby enemies.
  
• Li Dailin no longer freezes when Sissela pulls a player into Li Dailin's ultimate.
  
• Hyejin's omens will no longer be seen if she is in fog of war.
  
• Bat weapon skill (Full swing) sound effect corrected.
  
• "Start Game" button defaults to your most recently played game mode.
  
• Fixed camera issues in spectator mode when using Page Up/Down if camera was locked with Y.
  

The quickest of annoucements are here today for you all:

The All modes open weekend was warmly received by the players on the Seoul Server, so we've decided to keep them open for the rest of the beta test.

Have tons of fun in Solo, or grab your friends in Duo or Squad, and survive until the end!

The last of our 3 newest weapon types, Nunchaku, will be available on September 9th, solely being wielded for the time being by the one and only Spirited Master, Li Dailin.



I heard she likes to be called "Bruce Li Dailin"



With a new weapon type comes a new weapon skill: Breath of the Dragon. Charge up and launch a powerful gust of shocking wind, stunning enemies it hits.
Nunchaku Dailin, along with Shuriken Hyejin and Pistol Isol will all be playable very soon! Let us know your thoughts and strategies on how to play them on our Official Discord Server!

Hi everyone, just a quick little change of plans.

We originally posted about an intended change to character selections -- namely selecting your character after finding a match and restricting duplicate characters in game. However, because of unforeseen delays in the development process, we are going to push these back one week. These changes will instead be applied with Minor Patch 0.16.1 September 16th.

Other changes, including weapon animation changes, will come with Minor Patch 0.16.0 on September 9th as scheduled.

Thank you for your patience.

We saw Isol's new pistol a few days ago, but we're here today to give you a quick glimpse at Hyejin's newest item: Shurikens, coming September 9th.



Lookin' more like a ninja than a shaman



The slow from Caltrops can help her maximize damage from her Charm of Prophecy, so be sure to use it liberally.

Later on, we'll show you Li Dailin's new weapon, nunchaku, you won't wanna miss it!
