SAVE THE WORLD

GAMEPLAY

  • Added the Boost Pad schematic as an additional quest reward for ‘Want to Build a Hoverboard?’.
    • This new floor trap pushes your Hoverboard in the direction of the chevrons. Time to build some high-speed race tracks!
    • Players who have already completed this Quest will automatically receive this reward.
    • Hoverboard icon in zone was updated:
      Hoverboard_NewIcon.png
  • Added Boost Pad as a World Drop.
  • Added Cozy Campfire Trap as a World Drop.
  • Group Missions
    • All Group Missions now have Mission Alerts that award Firecracker Tickets.
      • Firecracker Ticket amount awarded is scaled based on difficulty.
      • Can play the same Group mission hex multiple times.
      • Quota: Only 10 Group Mission Alerts per day will grant tickets.
    • Group Missions now include Fight the Storm Category 1,2,3, & 4, Retrieve the Data, Ride the Lightning, Evacuate the Shelter, Repair the Shelter, and Deliver the Bomb mission types.
      • Mission availability is based on player progression.

        EvacuatetheShelter4Player_NewIcon.png

    • Each mission threat level now has its own attribute caps, instead of a single cap for an entire location (Stonewood, Plankerton, etc).This should give players an experience closer to our intended difficulty curve when playing down-level.
    • Increased the number of missions where higher level players can earn experience:
      • Many missions that were previously ‘grey’ on the map and awarded no XP will now be ‘green’ and award XP at a reduced rate.
      • Decreased the XP fall off when playing these lower-level ‘green’ missions to make it easier to make progress when playing down-level.
    •  Group Missions now require Storm Shield Defense Quest progression to unlock.

Bug Fixes

  • As foreshadowed in the 2.4 patch notes, completed expedition rewards may not be claimed while Storm Shield Storage is in overflow.
    • In order to protect player data, it is essential to enforce limits on inventory size.
    • Given a choice of dropping rewards or delaying access, we opted for delay.
    • Completed expedition rewards are not lost and may be claimed once your storage is within capacity again.
  • It is no longer possible to temporarily mount the Hoverboard if the mount button is held down for more than 2 seconds while in build mode.
  • It is no longer possible to craft ammo while on the Hoverboard.
