[2020] PTS updated - 2/12/20 (1050am - Pacific)

After dealing with some delays related to a few lingering data center issues that resulted from the outage Daybreak experienced this past weekend, the new build has been published to PTS and the server is now back up and unlocked.

Here are the details around the changes that are now up:

The update includes the following changes:

Updates:

• Tuning pass and fixes for Bastion Mauler cannons. Should more reliably hit and do more noticeable damage.
• When a Bastion is destroyed, its explosion will now damage and impact nearby players and vehicles.
• Bastions that are not destroyed will “timeout” and leave the zone after one hour.
• Bastions are now spotted and tracked with the Engagement Radar.
• Players can now re-deploy when in Desolation.
• Updated world map selection image for Sanctuary.
• Polished the Citadel Shield visual effects.

Bug Fixes:

• Players can now spawn into a Bastion despite exiting and returning to a continent.
• Bastion turret projectiles now originate from the proper location.
• All Bastion turrets now properly animate when using waypoint attack.
• Bastions can no longer be sent out of bounds.
• Disabled player spotting while in Sanctuary.
• War Assets can no longer be spawned in Sanctuary.
• Removed some invisible/broken collision from Sanctuary.
• Fixed a few client crashes.

In addition, the team is prepare a full update that we plan to publish to PTS either Thursday or Friday of this week. This will include automated Outfit Wars scheduling.
