Pax Autocratica News

In the last update there was an issue where our radar would not display anything and we're sorry about that. After a long week end during which our devs continued to analyse the situation, the issue has finally been fixed. A small version update will be released at 2020/03/16 UTC 10:00 AM patching above issue!

Moreover, we also decided to go back to a biweekly update format. In the week following the version release, we will keep sending a preview of the upcoming update content. We believe that this will greatly help our team bringing you even more interesting content during update days!

We've heard the sad news about the Coronavirus starting to contaminate a lot of people outside China. I hope all of you and your friends and family will be alright. Don't go out too much and remember to take enough measures for your safety. To be honest, I think it's the perfect time to stay home and play games, right? So, don't worry we're here and we have new content for you. Our maps are getting more and more content, there are new bumpers and even crazy trees that kind of have Parkinson... (don't ask me why -_-||). And we also have an awesome new backpack interface! I hope you will like it!! Enough of small talk, let's go through this version content!

*Players feedback refers to the improvements and fixes based on feedback coming from players.

I'm sorry to announce that because of some bugs being extremely resistant to fixes, today's version will be delayed from 2020/03/13 UTC 6:00 AM to 2020/03/13 UTC 10:00 AM. But don't worry, this version will have a happy ending! Why such confidence you ask? It's because our devs already sacrificed lots of precious hairs and according to D&D battle bonus rules (you have to trust me here!) this is an enormous bonus to bug fix stat, it's almost equivalent to sacrificing a whole village to summon a demon!

There was a pretty awkward issue... and sometimes the Boss decided not to show himself. So, we talked with him, and it really was because he was shy, we made some tweaks in his personality.conf file and he now shows every time you clear a rank. We're sorry about that and we will stop writing AI based on our developers' personalities. Compensation is in order, so since you all think that 18 ranks are not enough, in next week update we will add back the Survival Mode (which got lost during the Sanctuary renovation)! What about we go through this week update content and then we'll have a look at next week version's content!

• Fixed an issue where sometimes the Boss would not show up even when the progress bar attained 100% (Players Feedback*);
  
• Fixed an issue in multiplayer where teammates health bars would be obstructed by the new passive chips display (Players Feedback*);
  
• Fixed an issue where Shield, Whirlpool and Reflect Dmg skills would have a bigger particle FX than expected (Players Feedback*);
  
• Fixed an issue where Theridon melee damage would be higher than expected (Players Feedback*).
