Features & Improvements
Talents
You can now develop the talents of your characters. A total of 126 talents are available, including 28 item talents. The talent tree is divided into three branches:
· Soldier (offensive)
· Scavenger (utility)
· Survivor (defensive)
As you level up, you gain talent points. Use them to unlock the full potential of your characters.
When you log in for the first time after the update, you will notice that all your old talent items have been removed. Please don't be sad - they were trash anyway. Luckily these new ones work like a charm.
Gear Upgrade System
Is there a weapon you like, but its power level is too low? We understand your pain. Fortunately, there is now a solution!
Now you can upgrade your gear on the Workbench at the Black Market. It’s not free, obviously, but you need to spend your hard-earned resources somewhere, so why not chuck them all on upgrading your favorite items?
Please keep in mind that items can be upgraded only a limited number of times, so you will eventually have to move onto more powerful gear.
Companions Are Back!
Great news - beginning today, companions will be able to operate on all planets in Hoardspace.
You can equip your companion at the nearest Premium Store.
Thanks for your patience.
Players Respawn Improvements
Teleportation is relatively safe. We admit there might have been some cases of users materializing inside a rock or an object... look, let's not start pointing fingers. We're hoping the problem has now been resolved.
Space Station Changes
Here’s a list of changes:
· The Space Station teleport location has changed.
· Some vendors have moved:
· Virgil
· Dr. Lugebelenus
· Vault Support
· Gigs Galaxy
· Vendors now have ambient music. Dancing is encouraged.
· New props have added: departure board, bench, tables, chairs, neon lights.
· Light and colors are more natural. It’s all about the mood.
Nickname Visibility
We know how important it is to show off your nickname, and from now on a player's nickname will display over the vendor's description.
New Summary Screen
We have revamped the Summary Screen. And we're not stopping there - expect more changes in the next update.
