Seasonal Update and Rewards
Happy Halloween Pilot!
We're marching toward our next major update. But until then, we're sneaking in a seasonal update for some Halloween fun, dropping trick-or-treat goodies that you'll encounter inside capital ships, assault pods as well as on Hacker and Technomancer avatars.
We hope you spend some time with us this weekend checking out the temporary Halloween-Space Combat takeover. Here's what you need to know...
First, make sure you earn your limited time badge!
Remember, the more you play the greater your stats accumulate toward earning up to four seasonal badges. Stats for accumulating badges are measured across any one of these categories:
- wins
- ship kills
- avatar kills
- assists
But it's not just Halloween stuff. There's also some serious development behind this seasonal-update. So here's some of the highlights where we can't wait to read your feedback:
[h3]-Brand New Map-[/h3]
We're calling this map 'Proteus' and it's played in Onslaught mode. Meaning one team must defend the Capital Ship interior bomb and exterior bomb. While the other team plants the bombs. We're debuting it for Halloween so play it and tell us what you think.
[h3]-Three Maps Redesigned-[/h3]
We took three of our oldest maps (Carbonaceous, Enceladus and Solar Storm) and redesigned all three for Onslaught mode (attack / defend). You can see we're really leaning in on this mode and hope you can help us make it more fun by sharing your thoughts. Each have an extra dark look just in time for Halloween.
[h3]-New FPS Mechanic-[/h3]
You asked about this one and we couldn't wait to implement it into the nearest update. The "slide" mechanic in FPS is finally here for your Avatar combat needs. Make use of it and let us know if it meets your FPS needs.
[h3]And some quality of life updates:[/h3]
- An overhauled user interface with new customization screens
- A filter for multiplayer matchmaking preferences
- A firing range so you can test your weapons before going to battle
And don't forget about our limited time supporter's pack! Also the first of its kind.
