New Version on PTR

S

Sayyadin

We proudly present the open testing for the new loot system and the first update this year.

There are 2 server waiting for tests and english one and the german one (they are not language specific and are just used for purpose as testing the new system).

The english server has the current Askone State which means you will have the pilot you also have on askone and can test with him on the server.

The german server is blank and everyone starts new, as we changed a lot in the start this is very important for us and should be tested.

The changelog will be posted tomorr, but the changes include:

New Cryonite and Blueprintsystem in Version 2 (Version 1 was used in the closed test).
New Steeringsystem for wasd (or arrow) users.
New Chatsystem, Ignorelist, save of the chat for a short time (which also is kept at a zonechange).
New Serverstart with pre chosen server, pilot instead of server choice, new pilot creation, etc. .
New Gamestart, tutorial was removed aswell as other things removed, moved or changed.

Have fun at the tests and let us know what you think about the upcoming changes.

Upcoming changes:
As the main problem for users with enabled intelligent camera was to disable it while it was enabled we will integrate a hotkey to disable the intelligent camera while pressed.

This way you can move in one direction while looking into another (with the intelligent camera enabled).

You will fly like normal some enemies are following you and you want to shoot them while flying to the front. Fly to the front turn the camera as usual with the mouse, hold the key so the intelligent camera is disabled change the direction were to fly at (normally from w to s). Voilà fly forward look back and shoot back.

To move the camera we will implement a hotkey that if you hold the key and use arrows or w a s d you can rotate the camera.

The new version will be deployed on the PTR in a couple of minutes.
This might be the final version of the new loot system, but probably another one will follow but that will only be tweaks however this version is close to the finished version.
Now you will see the highly increased drop chance as we completed the normal tests we did on the PTR and fixed a couple of bugs in the system.

Please test the new version once it is online we want your feedback.

A auto pick pilot button was introduced, with this button you can log in with a simple click to the last pilot you logged in to with just a click and you are in the game. This and other changes in the log in process is speeding up the log in
Additionally to the new steering system there is an option to switch back to the old one, I would still suggest that you try and test the new system as it is much faster in a lot of ways although it is different.
