[2018] What Update 29 Means to You

Building on the hugely ambitious groundwork laid out by New Foundations, Update 29 - Will of the Council - continues to address the amazing feedback we’ve received from the community during Early Access, and is another momentous milestone for the ongoing journey that is Worlds Adrift.

That said, we thought we’d speak to a few key members of Foundation about what Update 29 truly means to them, and how it continues to enhance their exploration of the skies...


Performance:

“PERFORMANCE IS 100% BETTER.” - Ali

“In one update they were able to fix so much performance!” - Dragonbone


Overheat/Material Rebalance:

"This is still the best game out there, in my opinion. I was starting to get bored, now everyone is talking again and trying to figure things out. I, for one, like the changes the update brought! It gives new challenges!" - Anne


Ciphers & Schems:

“I really love how the devs are listening to the community (especially since this update seems focused on that). Firstly, a new approach to schematics is a great improvement, in the [in-game, community-ran trade shop], there is a ton of unsold and “bad” schematics, ciphers will greatly benefit us!” - DJmouton

"Overall I like the graphical and performance upgrade, ciphers will surely come in handy and we can't wait to dive into it more." - Schiraz


Voice Chat:

"As for VOIP, I think it's just another thing that gives the game some realism and makes the game a even better MMO." - Villager_Mines

“Voice chat is great! There's a lot of meeting around the [in-game, community-ran trade shop], we've seen some greatly talented guitarists (even drunk ones) and overhauls are always great fun, I think voice chat will add a conviviality to the party, and better interaction between players (easier to trade also)” - DJmouton


QoL:

“I wanted to thank [designer] for the small things that really affect the quality of life. Specifically the stats updating when you place materials in the slots now. Such a small thing improves our quality of life so much.” - Computgun


Painting/Creative:

“I think being a player for over a year, more customization of the ship just makes the game even better” - Villager Mines

“...Painting has just always been on the back of my mind. I often value aesthetics over efficiency (style matters) and it's always hard to have matching panels/engines etc... I'm expecting a lot of creativity from the community, probably flags on bigger ships (maybe before alliance flags or some kind come to the game), I know that we're all gonna have a ton of fun with that!” - DJmouton

"Oh, I forgot the best update: I now have a new headpiece for my outfit to look as stupid as humanly possible, so that's good. (This is not a veiled complaint, I genuinely like this)" -Atreties
