Hello my dear friends, test subjects, and researchers. GM Aesop here to give you all a quick look at what you'll be seeing in the next update of Eternal Return.
First, the thing I'm sure you're all most excited about -- Adriana, the Inferno, will set foot on Lumia Island, ready to light things up.
You can see her details and some other things, like bug fixes and character balance changes in the 0.18.0 patch notes, here:
And last, but certainly not least, we've got a fun little event going on for all of you guide makers out there! Make your guide, get it featured, and get some prizes.
Adriana can start fires on the ground. Enemies lit on fire by a burning area are Burned, taking damage over time and have their movement speed reduced. Damage increases per stack of Burned.

Character Balance
Slightly reduced HP recovery rate of all characters for late game (The marking value of HP regen is per 0.5s, for a 0.01 reduction, the regeneration is reduced by 0.38 per second on a level 20 basis)
Most changes are directly related to our public high-ranking stats (Top 1000 per mode). Xiukai and Nadine (crossbow) had exceptionally high numbers, requiring additional adjustment.

Jackie
Jackie is the character that appears most frequently in top ranks. The strongest weapons are completely different depending on the mode, so we focused more on adjusting weapons that Jackie takes advantage of.
Dailin’s win rate in high tiers is still a bit lower than average, but her pick rate is super high. Previously, she had a pick rate of over 10%, so while still high, we're going to keep an eye on the trend.

Hello test subjects! Get your cameras out, because today we're going to take you on a tour of Lumia Island. You'll get to see where you fight your battles from a whole new perspective!
When it isn't littered with the corpses of chickens or your enemies, Lumia Island is actually very beautiful.
To see more pictures of the island, go take a look at our fankit here:

Stream sniping/stalking
We will also be keeping a close eye on any reports or cases of stream sniping / stalking. Watching another player's live stream to attempt to circumnavigate in-game restrictions, like fog of war, or to track their location, will result in punishment. Targeting another player by intentionally trying to queue against them and kill them will result in punishment.
Hey gang, Aesop here again. After yesterday's post, I was trying to figure out exactly what I'd found when a somewhat angry Lenox showed up at my door. She had finished putting together her new kickass harpoon gun and left behind a part that I so happened to find... and inadvertently steal. Did she want to try it out in the swimming pool..? But people were in there..
You can see the part fits snugly on the side of the harpoon gun. Lenox, the Angler, will be heading to Lumia Island sometime soon. Just try not to occupy any of her favorite fishing spots, she might not appreciate it...
There’s more Lenox on the way! Check out the Roadmap for the timelines and cast a line to the Official Discord so you don’t miss a thing.
