[Dev Note] Season 2 starting soon!
Greetings from Orbis!
Woah!! It’s been almost 2 months since we released into early access. It was a rough start with all of the hackers, cheaters, and server issues, but we’ve ironed all of that out now, and are looking to start fresh with Season 2: Forgotten Ruins!!!
Season 2 will be bringing with it quite a few changes. You’ll be getting two new underground areas to explore, new Hyena NPCs, and even new mutant NPCs. We’re also doing our first total rankings reset, as well as including a lot of smaller improvements that we can dig into later.
[h2]The Bunker[/h2]
The first underground area is a free-for-all space where you will very likely run into other players. If you go deep enough, you’ll run into new mutants that may just end your exploration if you’re not careful. There are entrances all around the map, so you’ll never have to look far to find a way in. Once you’re in, however, you can’t turn back around and run away. You’ll need to find the exit if you want to keep all of your stuff, so be careful.
[h2]The Hyena Den[/h2]
The second underground area is a private instance where you won’t run into anyone else. You can test your mettle against new Hyena bosses, and improve your gear when you’re done with all the new loot you picked up. Like the Bunker, you’ll have to go through it and find the exit if you want to live to tell the tale of your bravery.
[h2]Release Date?[/h2]
We’re aiming for February 1st or 2nd(Wednesday or Thursday) as the release date, so keep your eyes peeled for the official release notice on our Discord news channel.
[h2]What about existing servers?[/h2]
We’re still working out the nitty gritty about how we’ll be applying the update to worlds that are still in-progress. We’ll post the specifics about our plans regarding updating servers next week. But I can tell you now that we’re planning to open PvP, PvE, and hardcore servers for each region, so you won’t have to wait to test out the new content.
[h2]What about my ranking?[/h2]
We’re figuring out a way to keep rankings from past seasons visible. I’ll let you know once it’s we’ve officially decided on how we’ll do that.
That was a lot to cover, but I wanted to keep it short and simple.
You can @mention the devs in our discord channel (ex: @Dev_Armond) if there’s something you don’t understand about the update. This is our first time doing a major update, so we’re welcome to constructive feedback.
See you next week!
