Weapon changes will be put up on the Public Test World to get some feedback in due course

We''re taking a look at both the way in which player threat is calculated and how mission offers are distributed to players

make mission objectives more interactive and to try and add a bit more strategy to the actual missions themselves, not just the combat surrounding them

adding a ''newbie'' ruleset to give players a safe place to learn the game against other new players

we''re still progressing work on the ''pure skill'' ruleset that was mentioned towards the end of closed beta. The Chaos ruleset hasn''t been forgotten about either.

The default camera position has also been moved out slightly so that your head doesn’t obscure the centre of screen when the player runs to the right

The first thing we did was remove organisation standing. It was a fairly obtuse mechanic that didn’t really fit into the game very well. Then we adjusted the contacts so they each fall under the category of either Weapons contacts or Vehicle contacts. As the names suggest – vehicle contacts unlock new vehicles, vehicle upgrades, and vehicle components, while weapons contacts now unlock preset weapons and character upgrades. All contacts unlock preset and customisable clothing options. Since the presets are now properly named you will now be able to tell which items and combinations are actually meant to be worn together (an annoying missing item in the original release).

new ability to see how much progress you have made in a certain role or for a certain achievement

All Symbols and some pieces of clothing are now rewarded through random rewards at the end of a mission.  Players have a very high chance (50%, modified by mission performance) to unlock one at the end of each mission, with different contacts unlocking different symbols.

High level vehicles are now using a slightly different unlock system. You unlock the base vehicles and presets through vehicle contacts at high levels, with kits and open slot versions gained through completing time trials around the districts with those vehicles

We felt that leagues were not providing their original purpose, and instead were just causing players to exploit game systems, or ‘Zerg’ things in order to compete.  As such we’ve removed them completely in the short term, though we plan to add back Leagues at some point, potentially along with the revised (and more meaningful) Clan mechanics which are used in other games as well.

cost for most items has been drastically increased

We’ve moved all upgrades into groups, so you can only use one of each type (we’ve also renamed them to fit with each system). I’ve also removed a couple of mods that either didn’t fit or were duplicates (Savage is gone, and Monolith has also been removed as it was functionally identical to Survivor).

The biggest change is the removal of the “Han Cellente,” ie. the starting vehicle. We thought it looked pretty awful and handled terribly, leading many to concludes that cars sucked in general

The largest change to an existing vehicle is the Balkan Kolva (Dump Truck). We have made it rarer in the game, and massively increased the weight and torque, while lowering the turning speed and initial acceleration.

Weather updates in updated game

new world/map (other than the fact that it will be called "Asylum" we know very little)
