Version 0.1.1602 Patch [Major] - PVE Zone, Quests, and Fixes
Aloha Thrivers!
Our Kickstarter campaign is less than 24 hours away and we couldn’t be more excited! To help kick things off we thought we’d share all the work we’ve done over the weekend smoothing out gameplay and adding a few new features. Read below to see everything we’ve finished in the last few days.
[h3]PVE areas[/h3]
We expanded the safe zone around the Thorcon power plant into a larger PVE area and added a message in the HUD informing players if they are in a PVP or PVE zone. We made some adjustments to totems in the PVE area so they can only be modified by the owner and made a few other PVE related improvements.
We’ve all experienced what it’s like to get steamrolled by a bunch of griefers when you're just starting out, and this should allow newly restored clones time to get familiar with their surroundings and learn the controls.
[h3]Quests[/h3]
We also just added the first round of quests in the game and placed more vendors inside the Thorcon Power Plant.
The addition of quests, on top of everything else there is to do in the game, should be enough to keep all the idle hands busy and eventually lead players to new places to explore for great rewards and XP.
