Eternal Return - GM_GeeBly


Some of you may have already noticed, but with the recent patch, we added Stream trading cards to the mix. Each trading card features the likeness of some of your favorite test subjects.

Earning cards in Eternal Return works the same as other free-to-play games: spend some money on the game, get a random drop!

Once you collect half the cards from the random drops, you'll have to find some other players to trade with or buy from. You can find other players on Steam, on the Steam community market, or on the Official Discord.

Please note that Trading cards linked to in-app purchases is Steam policy for Free-To-Play games, which you can see in other popular games. Refer to this link for more info.

Eternal Return - GM_GeeBly
Adriana found her lighter and she's getting ready to lob some Molotovs all over the island. You ever see a fire extinguisher on the island? We might need one...

Let's take a look at her skills and abilities!

Throw auto-attack



Passive > Pyromaniac



Adriana can start fires on the ground. Enemies lit on fire by a burning area are Burned, taking damage every second and having their movement speed reduced. Damage increases per stack of Burned.

Adriana recovers SP every few seconds when a fire she lit is active.

Q > Flamethrower



Adriana throws flames in the targeted direction, dealing true damage every few seconds.

W > Oil Slick



Adriana spills oil on the targeted location. The oil slick remains for a certain time. Adriana can ignite the oil slick with a skill to start a fire.

Enemies inside the oil slick cannot use movement skills.

E > Fire Escape



Adriana dashes in the targeted direction, leaving behind a trail of fire. The flames create fire and remain for a certain time.

R > Cocktail Party



Adriana throws a Molotov cocktail at the targeted location. The Molotov cocktail explodes upon landing, dealing damage, and knocking back enemies. After the explosion, the Molotov cocktail leaves behind a fire. Adriana can throw Molotov cocktails several times within a certain time.

Eternal Return - GM Aesop
Hello my dear friends and frequent visitors to Lumia Island - GM Aesop here with the first look at Adriana's 3D model, coming very soon to Eternal Return!



Pipe in her mouth and flamethrower in hand, she looks ready to light up Lumia and anyone who crosses her.



Is it getting hot in here or is it just me..?

Adriana will be joining the lineup very soon! Stick around for her skill preview later this week.
We're always eager to hear your thoughts and speculation on our Official Discord, so be sure to stop by!
Eternal Return - GM_GeeBly
We heard you all! Thanks to feedback from the community and performance of the servers themselves, we're extending the time of the Europe server by an additional 3 hours to be open for a total of 7 hours and the South America server by an additional 1 hour to be open for a total of 5 hours

Europe

EU Server: 5 PM - 12 AM CEST

We will also always have Solo mode available while the servers are open. We'll have a team mode (duo/trio) on rotation throughout the week.

The EU server has shown solid performance and matchmaking, but the EU population still isn't quite ready to sustain a 24/7 server, (Even the NA server is seeing some long queues at off-peak times) but this is a great first step.

South America

SA Server: 6 PM to 11 PM BRT

The South America server population is still rather low, but has shown some increase. We'll be adding an additional hour to the server as well.

As for modes on the South America server, duo mode will be temporarily suspended, leaving only Solo and Squad.

We have an easy website link to help you follow the server times and modes, check it out here:

By joining the Eternal Return Creator Program, you’ll be rewarded for your dope streams and videos with the lucrative premium currency: NP.

That part is pretty much the same from the previous version.

But we wouldn't be Nimble Neuron if we weren't always bringing you new stuff!

Streamers, you can be featured right smack dab on our Steam page.
YouTubers, your videos can be featured on our Eternal Return channel!

There are also some slight differences in the program (requirements and point system mainly), making it easier for you all to make it count. Check the link for more details:
