Hey Guardians,

You may have noticed the over the last few days the new addition of achievements. There are 12 currently with the possibility of more being added in the future. We think they are suitably challenging but easily accomplished over time.

To enable these achievements, we've pushed an update with a couple of minor changes too.

• Enabled Achievements.
  
• Changed the default gadget difficulty to Advanced in online sessions.
  
• Added in a new default taskbar icon.
  
• Reduced the cooldown of the hammer by 50%.
  
• Reduced the damage of the hammer by 25%.

As usual, if you have any questions, bugs or suggestions, feel free to let us know on our community hub or in our discord.

Hello airport CEO!

Alpha 30.1-8 has just been deployed on the default branch and is another stabilizing deployment as it caters to bugs and improvements on several fronts. Especially targeting remote stands as per usual but this time we also have some minor improvements in terms of job task dipatchment and vehicle movement which in turn also caters to stabilizing remote stands.

Here's the full change log for Alpha 30.1-8:


Improvement

• ACEO-12033] - Enable the job task dispatching system to automatically detect and mark suitable job tasks as prioritized
• ACEO-12128] - Added pictures to the remote stand tutorial section

Bug

• ACEO-11963] - Item activation toggling caused by parent room activation status spawns excessive audio effects
• ACEO-11969] - Minor typo in tutorial step text
• ACEO-11989] - Hard coded requirement of at least three onboarded ramp agents per remote service car can cause remote stand transfer process to stall
• ACEO-12001] - Path usage when leaving seats can cause get nearest node method to displace persons
• ACEO-12013] - Deserialized baggage bays generate duplicate job tasks
• ACEO-12014] - Persons aborting an activity while queuing for a desk does not reduce its queue count number correctly causing poor queue distribution balance
• ACEO-12034] - Remote stand job tasks for flights that are delayed past 00:00 of the same day get incorrectly generated starting time causing further delays
• ACEO-12047] - Issue with prioritized job task dispatchment can cause double job task retrieval and overall process mayhem
• ACEO-12056] - Incorrect variable can cause ramp agents on remote stands to complete before being transferred back by a service car
• ACEO-12071] - Duplicate parked vehicles containers can sometimes be generated when displaying a parking object panel
• ACEO-12113] - Missing failed activity analysis update call when persons rest can cause delaying behavior when checking-in or boarding

Since this is an off-week for the dev blog we'd just quickly like to update you with what's going on: We're currently running the first internal testing phase for multiple floors with very good progress, testing the foundation for building on different floors and more. We're concurrently also working on implementing the new turnaround services initially targeting catering, also here with good progress and expected internal testing by the end of this week. Lastly, we're almost ready on wrapping up the localiziation project and will by the start of next week hopefully send material to the localization agency for translation. All of this and more will be detailed in next week's dev blog, but as you can see we have a lot of very exciting content coming up for deployment not too far away!

See you around the airports,

Olof, Fredrik & Alexander - Apoapsis Studios

Greetings from GDC and PAX East!

We've had some busy times since partnering up with Daedalic, and while it will take us a little while longer to announce our release date, in the meantime you can read here about the history of Barotrauma and about what our Alpha testers have been up to.

Back with more news soon!

Purely in terms of the number of territories under its control at the end of the Guild CBT, The Legion wasn’t just rampant on the NA server, but dominated the entire test phase, with more land to its name than any other house. However, it would seem that according to its leader Buzzsaw, there was more to its successful strategy than outright domination... 

WHY DID YOU SET UP A HOUSE?

Originally I set up The Legion as a place for me and my friends to hang out and play games together. This eventually spread into multiple games, where we actively started recruiting dedicated members. Everyone who had a positive outlook was admitted into what has since then become less of a house and more of a mismatched family of misfits.

WHAT DO YOU THINK MAKES YOUR HOUSE DISTINCT?

Our teamwork and willingness to do anything for the house. All of the members are extremely dedicated to The Legion on levels I, as the leader, could not have dreamt of. Although some people may consider us a large house, we also look to help smaller houses. But don't mistake kindness for weakness - we’re just not out to beat someone into the ground who is just trying to grow. Some larger houses will destroy players who simply exist until they don't even want to play the game anymore, but that isn't the way we want to play. 



YOUR HOUSE WAS A CHAMPION OF THE GUILD CBT STAGE. HOW DID YOU DOMINATE THE OPPOSITION?

From what I can tell what made us distinct was our actual use of strategy. Rather than just sending an entire house onto one city and zerging them, I looked more into uniting the smaller houses in order to preserve everyone rather than beating them into the ground and creating enemies that will last until the game actually goes live. This tactic allowed all of our allies to hold land and to increase the number of defenders we could have - after all, protecting one border is much easier than protecting three or four.

WHAT ARE YOUR AMBITIONS FOR THE HOUSE?

Take some land and live out my days peacefully in the middle of nowhere, while everyone else fights to the death for a mediocre amount of land.

WHAT'S YOUR FAVOURITE CLASS TO PLAY AS?

I always enjoyed the Poleaxe since its nice to just club some randos head in, but we all know range is meta

WHO ARE YOUR MOST TRUSTED AIDES?

Neko and Danni have been my right and left-hand men since we started. Neko is more in charge of the political mumbo and Danni is more of my strategic advisor. Chef is my main diplomat and everything of that nature should run through him.

If someone wants to join the house all they have to do is join our Discord and answer a couple of questions about themselves and all is good. If another house wants to work on relations all they have to do is hit up Chef and talk to him.

ARE THERE OTHER HOUSES YOU ADMIRE OR CONSIDER TO BE NATURAL ALLIES?

We've been good friends with Order of Ash since the beginning and have worked together in every stage since the start. Aishin Koi is a newer addition to the family and they are always willing to help.



Huge thanks to Buzzsaw for taking the time to respond to our questions. If you know of a House that is deserving of similar recognition that we should profile in a future article, please make your nomination via our Discord channel.

Patch two of the Death’s Gambit Beta branch is here!

Note: The beta will be live through Thursday April 4 at 8AM PST / 11AM ET. At this time we'll be bringing it down to review all of the received feedback.

 
We would like your feedback to focus on balance, and any stray bugs you find as well. We suspect that certain builds are much stronger than others, so feel free to experiment and tell us which talent builds feel too strong or too weak. We are not looking for suggestions on new talents, new abilities, or new content. Please keep your feedback focused to what’s present and playable in the build and adjustments we could make to existing talents.

• The third page talent page will only become accessible once you beat a certain boss 60% of the way through the game.
• The fourth page will be unlocked near the end of your first playthrough.
• In order to get better balance feedback we have locked these two talent pages from characters in NG+0.
• If you play a character in NG+ pages 3 and 4 will be unlocked.
• The following areas are blocked off for the sake of the test: Obsidian Vale, Amulvaro’s Observatory, Journey’s End, Caer Siorai, Ylnoth.
• The boss “Cusith” is also not accessible in this build.
• All the new talents do not have finished icon art. These will be replaced later in development

To expedite your ability to experiment with builds you can now skip to the NG+ selection screen by pressing the ‘N’ key.

To access the beta branch please join our Discord at https://discord.gg/deathsgambit for complete instructions.

• Scythe reap ability deals less damage. Basic Scythe damage increased. We still plan on making a few small tweaks to the scythe.

• Moved around many talents to improve balance curve.

• Soul Block talent from the acolyte talent tree into the general talent tree.
