Wayfinder Dev Tracker

Wayfinders,

We have reached an agreement with Digital Extremes to begin the transfer of Wayfinder to Airship in earnest. Until this moment, Digital Extremes has remained the publisher of record on Steam and PlayStation. We now begin the process of transferring those responsibilities to Airship.

We know Wayfinder had a rocky launch, but we still believe in the game and the world we created.

When we founded Airship it was to create great games in compelling worlds, with memorable characters and adventures. With those core principles in mind, we've spent the last several months working behind the scenes, challenging some of the core ideas in Wayfinder and creating an experience that remains consistent with our standards and beliefs. We did this while keeping in mind that we want to respect our founders and excite new players - all while staying feasible as a business model for us as a new independent publisher. We plan to share these changes soon, but we aren’t... Read more

UI Updates
The Character Menu has had a facelift, and removes tabs for submenus which can be accessed via a button grid below the gear slots.Players can also navigate the stat window to see information on each stat, and how it affects their character + loadout. Mouse users can hover directly over the stats, while gamepad players can enter stat focus mode with a button.


With this update, we are also experimenting in the Character Menu how tooltip style popups look and feel when navigating the menu with a mouse. We would love to hear feedback on this.
Minor update to the Affinity Menu allowing Perks access through tab navigation, instead of hidden as a submenu accessed through a hotkey.




Inventory UpgradesThe Inventory has also had a little facelift, as phase one of a few cool upda... Read more

Subtitle: Six Major Changes to Enhance Performance and Stability

It’s time to optimize! We hope players have been enjoying the first iteration of the Job Board Preview. We are actively reviewing and planning adjustments to the system based on the mountain of feedback provided by all of you. Our next patch will include quite a few job-related fixes and changes, thanks to the community’s help.

As we showcased in our Q1 Roadmap, this patch will primarily focus on optimizations rather than content. We remain committed to securing the foundation of the game, and we’ve heard players loud and clear: you want better performance, fewer disconnects, and a more stable experience. The team’s big hope with this patch is that we’ve made a significant leap forward in terms of the client’s overall responsiveness and stability.

Shader Precompilation:
Upon startup, we will now perform shader precompilation right away, as opposed to when you encounter content. This w... Read more

Hello Wayfinders and Happy New Year! The team is back and recharged from the holidays, and we are ready to introduce the next set of features into Wayfinder!

We discussed at the end of last year having more meaningful updates faster, and this is the first real test of that adjusted philosophy where we are releasing content a little earlier than “done” so we can solicit feedback before fully releasing it.

The goal of working alongside all of our players remains the same: Make sure things are both functioning as well as fun and rewarding. Going forward, we’ll be calling these events/features in this state “Previews.”

The Job Board Preview is LIVE! The goal of the Job Board Preview is to provide players with another source of XP for the player’s Wayfinder and Weapon, as well as their Reward Tower. It’s also a place where you can get some memory fragments, gloomstone shards, dyes, cosmetics, and more!

Do you find jobs fun? Do you have ideas for j... Read more

Patch 0.2 - Eventide

The team has been working tirelessly to prove to the world their capabilities and commitment to bringing Wayfinder as both Developer and Publisher.

The result of that heroic effort - over 2,000 bug fixes, performance improvements, combat rebalances, Wayfinder reworks, system implementations, content enrichments, additional cosmetics and much much more. With that we say goodbye to Version 0.1 of Wayfinder, as this is indeed deserving of us moving to 0.2!



Important Notes:

• This update is a total repackaging of all of our files and assets. Download and install may take longer than usual.
  
• When you start the game for the first time, shaders will recompile which may results in reduced performance for a minute or two before retuning to normal.
