Hello, this is a message from the Eternal Return Team.


We have been receiving a lot of questions and comments regarding our decision to open the Europe and South America servers for a limited time daily.

We want to reassure you that this is, by no means, a sign of us not looking after our players in both regions. Rather, it's the complete opposite! We limited the time for the integrity of both regional player communities.

When previously opening the Europe and South America servers, even when opening both servers during the Steam Game Festival, the response and population was not very high. This resulted in players finding matches and ending up with extremely long queue times and having an overall bad experience, independent of the game mode.

Having the servers open for just a few hours allows us to try and congregate as many players from the region as possible, resulting in shorter queues and more fun.

We hope you all understand that one of our main goals is to have the Europe and South America servers open all day and with every mode, just like with Asia and North America.

Some members of our team are also from South America (Eternalice) and Europe (Geebly), so you guys are not alone. We assure you that we want the best for both regional communities.

The first day on Early Access has looked very positive for Europe, and hopefully we will be able to reach the minimum viable playerbase to extend the server for more hours and modes.

South America still seems to be growing, but we are seeing an increase of players compared to previous times we've opened the server.

We will be gradually increasing server times and modes according to the community response.
Also another point regarding the EU and SA servers and a big reason for us to open them was out of loyalty to our existing community of beta testers in regions. We did not want to leave them out of Early Access by not having servers in either region at all.

Opening the EU and SA servers for a limited time is not some ploy to take your money or anything like that. The game is free-to-play, you can obtain all the characters by just playing the game. Limitations on server time does make this a little more difficult, so in return, we provide a free character rotation so you can still play with most of the characters while unlocking the ones you are mostly focused on.
Completing the whole tutorial will automatically grant you enough A-Coin to unlock your favorite character, as well as awarding Jackie and Aya upon completion.

We are absolutely not demanding that people buy the Starter Pack DLC. The pack is just a budget friendly option for people who just started the game and with little time to unlock all their desired characters. We had a similar thing offered in the Alpha and Beta tests, and due to popularity, we brought it to Early Access!

To summarize, we are opening the servers on a schedule to congregate players to the corresponding region so that people can have quick queue times while we start gradually extending server times and modes per each region upon increasing the player base on each.


We hope to grow together in both dear regions very soon!

If you filled out the feedback form in the Alpha or are a Founder and don't see your name in the credits, let us know!

If you bought the founder pack and received the characters, your name should be in the credits! If it isn't or if it's spelled wrong, we can try and get it fixed.

Make sure you completed the form. If you didn't, visit our Discord, get the Founder role (instructions on how to get the role here), and fill out the form found in this channel (you need the Founder role to access it)! If you completed the form and your name isn't there, contact GM Geebly on Discord.

You'll get your name in the credits only if you completed the feedback form of one of our Alpha Test/CBT. If you completed one of the forms but you don't see your name or it's spelled wrong, let us know. We'll need your email address to check, so have that on hand!

Translation Volunteers, contact Geebly if your name is missing/wrong

Quick note: Inappropriate nicknames will not be accepted!

While finishing up the development process for the Early Access build, there was a problem causing some of Chiara's skills to be applied differently from the patch notes.

While squashing Chiara's remaining bugs, the wrong branch of our code was incorrectly merged, causing only the bug-less part to remain and pushing some of the early ability values.

We made a big mistake during the internal inspection process. We will review and strengthen our internal inspection processes so that the same problem does not occur again. We want to sincerely apologize to the players who have been looking forward to Early Access and playing with Chiara.

Players may be experiencing some issues when attempting to purchase things with Euro and Chinese Yuan.

Transactions purchased using Euros may result in errors, therefore, we advise that players using Euros refrain from purchasing anything in the store at the moment.

Currently, no transactions can be made using Chinese Yuan.

We are working on both issues will soon have game maintenance to fix this.

Thank you for your understanding.

If you have already purchased something and experienced any type of error, please contact us in http://playeternalreturn.com/support

Early Access our next step in Eternal Return. This should still be considered a development phase! The game servers will always be up for some regions and we will continually add features, improvements, and updates.

IMPORTANT: The 'demo' version of the game is NOT the Early Access game. Please download the Early Access client from the "Eternal Return: Black Survival" default store page.

https://store.steampowered.com/app/1049590/Eternal_Return_Black_Survival/


A new character will be gracing us during the start of early access as well:



Along with Early Access, we have some patch notes detailing a lot of the changes we’ll be making. Check them out here:

https://steamcommunity.com/games/1049590/announcements/detail/2907595185823692631

The absolute best thing you can do is leave us a review on Steam! If you enjoyed the game, be sure to tell us why! 🥰

We’ve discounted our 8 character Starter Pack in celebration of Early Access. It’s a really good deal; 8 characters for the price of 3. Just for you all!

(If you purchased your founder pack before Early Access, you can still redeem it. Check Founder Info on our Discord for more info).

We heard a lot of you asking for some of the songs from Eternal Return, so we’ve also prepared a little something extra! Pick up the OST on the steam store!

We hope to see you all on Lumia Island soon!

If you are new to the game, we have some very important tips for you:



You'll see a yellow triangle in the upper left corner on the icons of items on recommended/targeted equipment. Don't throw them away, craft them!



On the right side of your screen, there's a menu of items that can be found in your current area. These items are marked with the yellow label.



You're free to pick your battles, but it's probably better to fight after crafting your weapon. If you take out your enemies, you can take their stuff!



Some areas have a teleporting booth, disguised as a phone booth, that can teleport you to any other area of the island.
Open the map and check where these devices are, marked by a double arrow on the map, and use them to move around more efficiently.

Here are some other tips created by our players themselves:

Chiara, the Fallen, is the 15th character to join Lumia Island in Eternal Return!

When Chiara hits an enemy with a skill, she carves a Stigma into them, reducing their defense.

• The Stigma remains for 6 seconds. Chiara can apply a maximum of 4 Stigmas to the same enemy.
  
• When the enemy reaches the maximum amount of Stigmas, Chiara's movement speed is increased for 6 seconds.
  
• Defense reduction per Stigma: 4/6/8%
  
• Movement speed increase when reaching 4 Stigmas: 4/7/10%

Chiara casts out corrupted energy in the targeted direction, dealing damage to all enemies it hits.

• Cooldown 10/9.5/9/8.5/8s
  
• SP Cost 50/60/70/80/90
  
• Range 5m (cone)
  
• Damage: 60/100/140/180/200 + AP 60%
  
• The corrupted energy remains for 0.25 seconds, reducing the movement speed of enemies by 30%.
  
• Hold the skill down for 0.5 seconds to cast out the corrupted energy further and in a straight line.(12m)
  
• Using the skill short-ranged reduces its cooldown by 20%.

Chiara divines a shield, absorbing damage. The shield remains for 6 seconds.
If the shield is not depleted after 3 seconds, she can reactivate the skill again, making it explode, dealing damage to enemies in range.

• Cooldown 15/14/13/12/11s

Chiara channels the darkness inside of her, temporarily transforming into a fallen angel.
While transformed, her normal attacks are ranged, her max HP is increased, and she Plagues the area around her. Enemies inside of the Plague receive damage every second and Chiara recovers HP in proportion to damage dealt.

• Cooldown 100/90/80s
  
• SP Cost 100/120/140
  
• Auto-attack range 5.25m, Plague damage range 6.5m, max Judgement range 8m

While Plague is activated, she gains vision of all enemies that have the maximum amount of Stigmas, and she can cast Last Judgement.

Last Judgement: Chiara can crash down upon an enemy with the maximum amount of Stigmas, dealing true damage and ending the Plague.

• Judgement damage 200/300/400 + AP 120%
  
• Killing enemies with Last Judgement reduces the cooldown of Plague by 50%.

The Saved Plan feature was expanded and improved.

Moved the spawn of characters for areas where they were around too many containers or too far from any containers.

XP for slaying wild animals per level increased.

Bear 'Ground Slam' skill cast time increased 0.49s → 0.55s

• Bonus XP given per level difference with the highest level survivor on the island 15% → 18%

• Added a "Character" tab. You can find additional info about characters in this tab.

• You can buy name change tickets in the Store.

Special thanks to you!

• You can see the list of our Founders and Alpha testers by going to the Settings > Credits.

If you saw your LP disappear after the Open Beta, that was intended!

• LP will be divided per mode: Solo, Duo, and Squad.
  
• In order to prevent new players from encountering experienced players at the start, we will be distributing 30% of your current LP into each mode.
  
• Adjusting premade team LP
  • Compensation for pre-made Duos and Squads (pre-made teams matchmaking and final LP calculations counted as slightly higher LP) increased.
    
  • We are trying to limit players intentionally matching with low LP players to gain more LP. If the LP difference between the members of the premade team is higher than a certain amount, it will be adjusted to match the highest LP player.

Hover over the offending player's name in the post-match screen for justice.

• You can now report players directly from the results screen at the end of the match.
  
• You can select various reasons for reporting like teaming, verbal abuse, negative attitude, etc.
  
• The feature to add detail to reports will be added later. If you want to add comments to your report, send in a support ticket by going to Settings > Support > Customer Support.

Completing your weapon first is very important. However, most routes and strategies now tend to be overly dependent on this.

To ensure that the completion of the weapon does not affect initial combat capability too much, we want to strengthen mid-level items to reduce the sudden increase in strength after the weapon is complete.

Also, we want to strengthen the basic stats of characters little by little, reducing the influence of the first item on early fights. However, changing the base stats can have a significant impact on balance, so we will be adjusting this very slowly and carefully.

On the other hand, the handling and dodging difficulty of skills should be balanced -- some skills are currently just too slow. We want to try and find a balance point for this by slightly adjusting the speed of some skill projectiles over time.

Hello to all on Lumia Island. Here's a quick announcement regarding the LP rankings.

Going forward, we will be separating LPs for solo, duo, and squad mode starting Early Access for smoother matchmaking and easier record keeping before we enable actual Ranked queues.
However, we must reset the current LP rankings in order to separate them.
We previously announced that LP would be related to MMR, but we'd like to apologize for the sudden change in policy.

In order to prevent new players from encountering experience players at the start, we will be distributing 30% of the total LP you currently have into each mode.
(Ex: if you have 1000 LP at the moment, you will start Early Access with 300 LP in solo, duo, and squad.)

Thank you.
