Today is patch day and we’re pulling in a ton of requested changes and fixes that we’re super excited to share, namely Adding further improvements and content to the Volcanyon tile, adjustments to walker power and cap (specifically for larger clan cap tiles), changes to crew sizes, rigs, and a whole lot more.Unfortunately, there is some bad news - we have not yet received our Xbox certification. As a temporary solution, we are building a network compatible patch that should let Xbox players continue to connect and play the game, however, it is very likely that you will experience a bunch of new bugs as many of the changes we have made won’t be reflected on your client. On the bright side, we made the beatstick unlocked by default and made some changes to enable the tutorial, so progression should now be much smoother.While we received certification for the original S6 patch, there were some follow up issues which have prevented further certification until it’s all res...

Greetings Nomads We wanted to update you on what’s happening with the test as we’ve had some exciting content over the weekend along with a few speedbumps that we need to address. Tile Claims Proxy walkers have been seen roaming the Oasis! With the release of the Ancient City tile, we’ve started to see proxy walkers going down. Congratulations to Vanguard for being the first clan to claim a tile! This is our first foray into the new system and we’re looking forward to seeing the larger groups fight over control of their tiles. Hopefully this will add some much needed politics and governance for the smaller groups of players as well as some exciting and dynamic PVP events. Server Issues The servers are experiencing a lot of lag right now because we’re basically running them at maximum capacity. For this test we had a finite number of servers allocated to the game and despite our best guess, the population has grown larger than we planned for. This is why you might experience high ping ...

Another day in the wastes and we’re expecting to see another peak player count as we head into the weekend. We wanted to reiterate how excited we are to see so many of you returning to give the game another chance. With that, we have decided to release even more of what we’ve been working on with the introduction of Event Tiles! These will be a hotspot for PVP and players will only be able to spawn on them with a walker in the tile (No spawning in desert). So let's talk a little about what you should expect. Quality System With these new event tiles you’ll notice a Gold diamond marking the tile. This indicates it is a “Quality Tile” where colored variations of Green, Blue, Purple and Gold quality enemies and resources will start spawning. The tiles will last 2 hours and you’ll notice that these resources do not respawn and will show up at varying degrees of rarity. This season we wanted to make legendary difficult to find so we suggest you bring a rangefinder to scout... Read more

It’s been 24 hours since the launch of the Season 6 test and we are so glad to see many returning and new players enjoying what we’ve done with the game. We wanted to take some time to go over everything we’ve learned so far and what we’re doing going forward to keep improving throughout this test. Canyon Tiles As many of you already know, we’ve released Canyon tiles a day earlier than we anticipated. This is largely due to the feedback we’ve been receiving from you in the community and we want you to know we’re listening. Hopefully this will show you we’re willing to make changes to the original plan when we see a better path forward for your enjoyment of the game.We want to keep the cradle tile in the game to some capacity as it’s a great starting point for players. Often in previous seasons we noticed you would just deathspawn off the tile completely and never visit it again. Further, it gives players the opportunity to fight each other and use the “stone age” tier... Read more

Today we’re launching the final Test of Season 6. As some of you may already know, we’ve been working hard on the next iteration of the game with a complete overhaul of pretty much every aspect of walkers, progression, maps, crafting, content and balance, by listening to your ideas and feedback. To make the right choice and ensure the stability of the season, we will be starting with a full test immediately using the official servers, iterating across all maps and plan to finish in around 5-8 weeks in May, with the full launch of Season 6 shortly after.This test will be as close to the real content of the game as possible and we will be making sure to use this as an opportunity to take feedback from players in our Discord and Steam forums, as well as address any gamebreaking bugs or exploits we may find.This update brings lots of new content, activities and features that should hopefully incentivize more PVP and player interaction, while giving more protection to new players and smalle...
