R32 "Customizations" Update is launching this Friday
We are finally ready to announce the release date of the next major update to CryoFall—this Friday, 31st December!
This time we are introducing support for additional customizations in the form of skins. When you craft almost any weapon or a piece of equipment you will be able to select one of several skins available for each.
This update offers both free skins obtained simply by playing the game, as well as some limited skins which you can unlock by participating in some events we might hold in the future or by playing the game during a particular period (we will announce when any such things will be happening), and obviously, there are a number of skins which can be purchased directly. Purchasing skins goes toward supporting the developers. Thank you!
Also, the good part is—to use skins you don't have to own them. You can exchange skinned items with other players or your friends freely. You can also loot them in PvP from defeated enemies. So, you can use all skins even if you haven't yet unlocked them or if you missed an event where a particular skin was made available.
Anyway, we are looking forward to seeing more visual variety in the game with this update! And yes, we have also updated visuals for practically all equipment and weapons to make them look even better.
Aside from the system explained above we have also added a few pieces of content into the game with this update as well as some new features. But the biggest change is our continued work on balance to make the game feel even more fun, be it solo or playing in multiplayer. Please check out our detailed patch notes with the full release of this update in a few days.
[h2]Savegames compatibility[/h2]
First of all, we must highlight that the saved games are completely compatible with the previous (R31) version of the game. You can continue playing on your local worlds without worries.
As for the official PvP and PvE servers, they will have their scheduled wipe as usual.
[h2]Official servers wipe[/h2]
We would like to remind you that the official PvP servers will have the next round of epic fights starting with the scheduled wipe this Friday, December 31st.
As you may know, all official PvP servers have regular wipes every 3 weeks to ensure a level playing field and offer a fresh economy with each new round. It's a major event that brings many players to compete with each other, starting from a common point.
Likewise, all official PvE servers will also have their regular wipe on the same day. Unlike the PvP servers, however, PvE servers have their regular scheduled wipes every 6 weeks instead. Feel free to join any of the official PvE servers for a fresh round of economic and technological competition and race to reach the highest faction score on any of the regional PvE servers.
Wipe time: 1 PM by GMT/UTC time (as usual).
For your convenience, here is the local time in the primary time zones we have:
• 7 AM by Central US (CST, GMT-6 winter time)
• 2 PM by Central EU (CET, GMT+1 winter time)
• 16:00 by Russia/Moscow (GMT+3)
• 21:00 by China/Beijing (GMT+8)
• 10 AM by Argentina/Brazil (GMT-3)
• 10 PM by Japan and South Korea (GMT+9)
[h2]CryoSmall[/h2]
As an additional note, the featured PvP community server CryoSmall Europe is wiping this Saturday 1st January (12 PM GMT/UTC). With a strict limit of 2 players per team (no alliances permitted) and reputable administration enforcing this rule, you can have peace of mind that the server provides equal opportunities for everyone to compete. By the way, community server CryoSmall North America has been wiped recently (last Saturday) and it's not too late to join it.
