Trading card and background available now！！

In this version I made a small change in the way the achievement "The Best" is unlocked. In previous versions, to get that achievement, you would have to be among the top 3 on the leaderboard which clearly was a mistake.

As more players took on one of the top three positions, the amount of points required to unlock the achievement would increase, making it almost impossible and unfair for new players to unlock.

With version 1.0.4 you only need to get 1,000,000 points to unlock the "Best" achievment, so all players will have the same challenge to achieve this achievement and complete 100% of the game.

I hope you like the change.

Regards,
Alysson Moraes.

Interviewee: SHUI GE

We have released a series of pictures and details of Nostos on our social media sites; the focus of which has been on the development team and their designs for the game. So, for this installment we have invited the producer from Nosto, SHUI GE to introduce the world of Nostos from within the development team and the content they hope to present to players.

“Nostos is not a typical MMORPG. I prefer to describe Nostos as a multiplayer open-world survival game. The theme of Nostos is ‘EXPLORE’.”

Sandbox games allow players to create content. The high degree of freedom and possibility associated with sandbox games saves game developers time on many details that are not all that important, enabling us to pay more attention on issues like gameplay, which will inevitably improve the gaming experience. We have also realized that VR games, due to their ability to further immerse gamers into the game, are the future of the game.

When I was looking at possible game genres for Nostos, I thought to myself, “Why don’t we combine these two promising game genres together,and present the sandbox genre in a VR environment, creating a fascinating world with a higher degree of freedom?



We chose “EXPLORE” and “SURVIVAL” as the themes for Nostos because we hope players will be able to explore freely in-game and enjoy its content. Nostos focuses on PvE and is set 1000 years after the collapse of human civilization. In a world that is now wild and isolate, players need to explore the land with friends, discover historical sites and the remains of war, build shelters and fight against “Coralseas”, gradually uncovering the truth hidden by time and revealing stories of hope and regret that once took place in this mysterious and desolate land.



We initially considered choosing post-apocalyptic as the game’s theme, which is currently a popular subject. But we wanted to bring a more relaxed, enjoyable gaming experience to gamers instead of the typical dark and depressing elements found in traditional post-apocalyptic game. We decided to incorporate Animated Film to brighten up the world of Nostos.



We are also striving to add plenty of fun gameplay and game modes to Nostos to make exploring more interesting. It is not uncommon for players to be at a loss in some sandbox games, so the game has added a central storyline. In addition, players are free to choose how they develop and how the game progresses.



Randomly occurring events and side-quests, and even the randomly changing ecosystem and the distribution of vegetation will bring a fresh gaming experience to players every time they enter the world of Nostos.

In the future we will share gameplay content on our social media pages, so stay tuned!

Celestial Soulrend replaces the effect of this new, but already popular skill gem, with a purple and yellow Celestial effect.

Team scoring has been broken for some time. This resulted in drastically wrong team scores for all players that participated in a team game.

The code has been fixed and team scoring should be working correctly.

We have had to reset the team scores. If you would like credit for a team game that you participated in, just post the game # to a discussion thread and we will credit the points to your team score.

We solved the problem that the application and DLC could not be innstalled.
We are deeply sorry for any trouble that we have caused.

Dear Heroes,

There will be a Game Patch on 14th March starting from 00:00HRS (PDT/PST) / 03:00HRS (EST/EDT), and is expected to end within 4HRS.
