The List of Changes in Survarium 0.61a
General Changes
- It's now impossible to install supplies during healing animation.
- Game client and server now support increased tick rate (exchange network packets more often). To fully test this feature we need a lot of matches with various conditions, thus we cannot test it on the PTS. Because of that we made a decision to test this on public in selected matches and monitor the results (performance and lag foremost). We will share more details on these tests when they are about to happen.
- Turkish localization is now available.



Locations
- New location introduced into the game: Duga radar station. The following game modes are available on the location: Battery Retrieval, Research, Team Deathmatch.
- This is the biggest location in the game, so performance may be worse than on the other maps. We plan on optimizing the location, and also make balancing changes (moving bases and key points, for instance) in the future basing on the matches results.
- Static electric anomaly can be found on Duga radar station. Anomaly effect will be improved in the upcoming updates.
- In one of the following updates lighting in the tunnel of the Duga location will be improved.
- School: visual effect of the static anomaly on the third floor is back!
- Vostok Radar Station: fixed some spots when it was possible to see through objects.
- London: fixed spots when it was possible to throw the battery away from the location.



Bug Fixes
- Fixed an issue when killcam was twitching during short killcams when your character was killed by a bot.
- Fixed an issue when friends' and clanmates' ranks were not updated in the League menu.

See you on the battlefield!

Are you going to make more STALKER-like armour. the PBF mask for example?
That would be a logical addition, from my point of view. Hope we could implement something like that in future.

How is the new Duga map progressing?
We are finalizing the map development. There I mean final touches to adjust the lighting, sounding of the map, the game modes logic, bots etc. 

Apart from Duga, what new maps can we expect?
There’s a strong desire to implement a location the likes of ‘derelict airport’ or ‘garbage land’. But no definitive plans as yet. 

How much time do you need to make a new weapon model?
This usually is a process taking from 4 to 16 weeks, depending on the uniqueness of the weapon model - its size, the new animations required and so on.

There is more than one map that really need re-balancing, especially in ranked games. Is this on your priority list?
Our next priority would be to deliver a Christmas in-game event. However, your feedback on the existing locations improvements are always welcome. For instance, on Vector Laboratory we added new hangar exits, following the players’ feedback. 

Player stat pages, are they planned? Going to survarium.pro in search of our stats is a bit annoying and not every player knows about this site.
Yes, we know. That’s something we do consider. 

Most assault rifles will perform optimally when spraying. Are there plans on breaking this trend in terms of accuracy and/or recoil to more diversify the usage of them, and make the average assault rifle less of a "jack of all trades"?
You know weapon balancing is something we always tweak and seek perfection with. Be assured, the process will continue.
Does the plan of an PvE/Freeplay still exist?
Sure. However we try to focus the team’s resources on most burning issues first. 

Battle Royale would be cool. Is it possible?
We have some ideas internally, but those remain at the level of ideas so far. Will see.

When will you release the game on Xbox?
There are no definitive plans as yet, this still highly depends on further success of the PC version I believe.

When will we get new weapons? The AKMSU was the last to be added and that was a long time ago.
Most likely next year.

What's the next big thing for survarium, is there anything in works you'd like to share? Why so much secrecy?
As year rounds up, we will share some note summarizing the achievements of this year and what could be expected next.

Can you add more crosshair colours to sights that don't have them?
This wouldn’t be a tough task to add those. We’d need to research how many players need this functionality though.

The price to unlock equipment profiles is extremely high and new players simply cannot earn enough and are discoured to play. Can you reduce the cost?
Thanks for bringing the point into discussion. We’ll consider lowering the cost for some item categories.
To make the league more appealing what about a standard feature of Double XP & Rep plus a Spare Part for each frag? The league needs to appeal to players for more than just earning a few tokens to buy some weapons.
We would like to analyze this as part of the overall ranking matches improvement plan. 

Can you make it possible for a player to preview camo on their armour before purchasing it.
Will think about it. Might be possible to implement in a similar fashion as weapons (try out feature).

Make factions meaningful and limit players equipment selection to the faction they have currently chosen. This will create more varied equipment profiles and actually make factions mean something.
We have been considering such option for a while, however haven’t implemented it so far as that would severely limit the players’ choice of gear and weapons.

Why isn't picking up weapons of dead bodies a thing in Survarium? Engine limitation or you don't think it is an important feature?
We do have some progress with such a feature, but it’s not yet at a level ready to implement into the game.

Will we ever get the  "Storm" we were once promosed?
I doubt this would be possible in nearest time. But maybe in future updates.

When will we get the weather/time of day variations be back to all maps?
This is a huge effort to adjust all the locations to all the weathers and time of day. So far we’ve been focusing on other more critical tasks. 

There are still many graphic options that are listed as "In Development". When can we expect them?
The best answer I could have for this one is the classic ‘when it’s done’:) 

Please add all the various versions of maps that were removed. They made the game more interesting. Especially for ranked as that mode only has a few of the maps activated.
It’s possible to revert those variations of course. Keep in mind though, we removed them because of bad players’ reviews of those.

What about a Survarium Mobile Edition?
That’s not part of our plan so far.

The new Survarium Leagues Season is live, and will last until December 21st! Participate in ranking battles to earn the tokens and obtain unique weapons and equipment!
Your character needs to have tier 3 (or higher) equipment profile to participate. Players with tier 3, 4 and 5 equipment will be put in the same matches. The matchmaking uses Elo rating to balance the teams.

The following locations and game modes are available in this season:
Rudnya: Battery Retrieval, Research.
School: Team Deathmatch, Battery Retrieval, Research, Search and Destroy.
Vostok Radar Station: Team Deathmatch, Battery Retrieval, Research, Search and Destroy.
Chemical Plant: Battery Retrieval, Research.

When losing a match and ranking stars, your rank may be lowered, but you will not lose ranks at rank 5 or below. Note: you can move down from rank 1.
When a season ends you receive tokens: a special league currency. The higher the rank you achieved during the season, the more tokens you are awarded.

If the ranking match search is disabled for you, open the Season League tab (the cup icon in the upper-right corner of the screen) and return to lobby or restart the game client.
Good luck in the ranking battles!
