Greetings Nomads
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 out the most valuable resources.
Ancient City You will start to see ancient city tiles spawning today on your respective server. These new event tiles will be similar in look to previous seasons, but with some new mechanics. The new Relic Hunter classification that you can find in any trade station will accept some special resources from that area. Additionally, the Ancient City is where you will find Stone Planks. These are an event tile specific resource used to craft the Proxy walker.
Tile Claiming The new tile claiming system with proxy walkers is being released with these maps as well. It takes a great deal of resources to build a proxy walker but they are now re-useable and utilize a different claiming method of distance travelled rather than deploying in a specific spot. We’re hoping this new system will introduce a whole array of politics as clans fight for ownership of their tile. That’s not all though, as the owner of a tile, you will have specific benefits to new buildings and craftables that will greatly increase your effectiveness when it comes to attacking and defending. We strongly suggest you give it all a try.
Moving Forward With this addition of content, we’re expecting to see a lot more bugs and balance issues take rise so please remember that we are extremely interested in your feedback at this stage of the game and will take everything to heart when we’re iterating for the release of Season 6. Our only real way to see what needs fixing is to have this many players testing and establishing a meta for us to work with as we move forward so please understand we will need to fix things as they come.
But most of all, have fun with this new content. It’s about to get a whole lot more exciting!
See you in the wastes
