Pax Autocratica News

We started recently to make some big changes on the game and you've been a lot to let us know that there are several severe issues with some new features and the game overall balancing. We're sorry about that, and after a week of hard work, we pretty much took care of all the issues you told us about. A new version will be released in several hours and you can have a look at its changelog below. We also prepared a preview of next week update. Let's go through all of that together!

• Materials are now picked up automatically (Players Feedback*);
  
• Rank Map now shows the complete map (Players Feedback*);
  
• Balancing for better difficulty curve has been done (Players Feedback*);
  
• Fixed an issue where the game would easily crash (Players Feedback*); (There might be some remaining crashes and we would appreciate some feedback if your game still crashes)
  
• Fixed an issue where the Endless mode was inaccessible (Players Feedback*);
  
• Fixed an issue where Fortune and Camping Ranks would appear too frequently and having too few rewards compare to Battle Ranks making the late game too hard (Players Feedback*);
  
• Fixed an issue where it would be impossible to choose the next rank (Players Feedback*);
  
• Fixed an issue where player could die while choosing the next rank (Players Feedback*);
  
• Fixed an issue where materials drop rate and number was way too low making it extremely hard to upgrade and refine equipment (Players Feedback*);
  
• Fixed an issue where the game would crash when upgrading turrets (Players Feedback*).

Known Issue - It may happen in several cases that Actives cannot be replaced, but after interacting again it works fine.

It's been a while since the last update, but it was totally worth waiting. We've got a brand-new Rank Exploration Map on which you can chose different paths at the end of each Rank (the interface needs some more work, it will display all complete paths in the next update)! We also finished implementing the Refining System, you will be able to increase the rarity of pretty much everything. So, if you don't want to exchange your weapon because of some awesome Modules you can decide to just Refine it and make it yourself a Legendary gear. The rework of our AI is progressing super-fast and we will be able to go back to 4 player co-op real soon! After these many core changes and the start of the development of this new layer of Game Flow, your feedback is more important than ever! We hope you will be a lot to share your thoughts with us either through the Feedback function in game or by joining our discord channel. So right now, I'm going to announce this version's content!

As you might have noticed already, we recently started working on the external structure and Game Flow of the game. Through these related features we will be able to bring you story related elements as well as global character progression. We also pretty much completed the revamp of the in-game Mods and Actives progressing curve through Upgrading and Refining instead of stacking the same items, modules damage progression based on the weapon DPS which is itself linked to your overall build. After these many core changes and the start of the development of this new layer of Game Flow, your feedback is more important than ever!

I don't know about you, but in this last day of April we are extremely happy! Tomorrow is the International Workers' Day and we've got a five-day holiday to enjoy! But even if, here in China, life is getting back to normal, we will be super cautious and be back as soon as possible to work on the next EFAS update (planned to be released on the 15th of May).
Meanwhile, we know it's hard for everyone to be confined, but it's important, so you gotta be strong! You can just stay home playing EFAS with your friends while eating pizza and drinking beer, right?
I wish you guys an awesome May Day and see you next week for the patch preview!

Today's update is going to be amazing! Ever hoped your mom was Bulma and that she could create capsules for you? Then you can stop hoping, because we've got 2 new turrets that pop out of nowhere and fight for you while triggering your standard/special attacks effects! But that's not it... Now mods cannot be stacked anymore! While fighting and deconstructing stuff you will get brand new materials, and you can use them to upgrade your mods and actives. So be carefull when you pick stuff up, mods and actives stats will also increase as you level it up! We've also got an active that lets you temporary disable enemies skills! I know that you wanted that for some time already~

Anyway, that's only part of it! What about we stop talking and get to the point? Then let's go through this patch note together!
