• Five Goastumes: Level up during the Beta to unlock new skins (goatstumes) like Robogoat, Goat of War, Goatzilla, Overgoat and Inmortangoat (any resemblance with popular characters from other IPs is pure coincidence)

If you’ve been patiently waiting for news on when you can pick up OCTOPATH TRAVELER on Steam, the answer is… right now.

The game is available to pre-purchase, ahead of its launch on June 7, 2019. Not only that, but anybody who gets the game now will also get a set of 11 exclusive wallpapers, featuring beautiful character art for the eight main heroes, and some of the stunning locations from the game.

OCTOPATH TRAVELER for PC brings the game’s distinctive HD-2D graphics to life like never before. It features a unique visual style that combines detailed 2D characters with beautiful 3D environments - you won’t have played anything that looks quite like it.



The game also features eight characters, each with their own skills and storylines. From haunted thieves and enthusiastic apothecaries, to naïve scholars and noble warriors, there’s someone for everyone in this motley crew and, rather brilliantly, you can play through their tales in any order you like.



You’ll also have to make smart use of their skills - both in and out of combat. Every character has ‘Path Actions’ - unique abilities that can help you progress the story, find hidden items, or get an edge in battle.

Speaking of which, OCTOPATH TRAVELER features a deep, strategic battle system. Enemies are tough and resilient - you’ll have to identify their weaknesses and use your party to exploit them if you want to succeed.



OCTOPATH TRAVELER will be available on Steam from June 7, 2019 with English and Japanese audio, and English, French, Italian, German, Spanish, Japanese, Traditional Chinese and Simplified Chinese text.

Pre-purchase now to get your free wallpapers!

Dear Community,

(Original Post: http://forums.fredaikis.com/index.php?/topic/7829-patch-10-hotfix-1/)

After all the feedback we have received the past half a day from the community and first players of the game we have finished an initial hotfix with some fixes and improvements. We are still monitoring further feedback and we expect to roll out more of these smaller patches in the upcoming period to make sure the game runs as smoothly as possible for you all without any major issues.

 

Now, let's jump into further details.

 



OVERALL

• The global inventory capacity has now been changed to 600 instead of 300. We have also made further adjustments to some of the items taking up too much slots but you can read more about those changes under the "Items" section of the patch notes.
• The global inventory slots amount has now been changed to 100 instead of 50. We are considering making the global inventory global and not unique per server in the near future. This would mean players have the same global inventory in each official server. Stay tuned for this.
• Changing languages in-game no longer requires a full game restart.
• Added the server name to the in-game menu UI on the bottom left part of the menu. This allows players to see the server they are in.
• Added a health percentage number to the UI.
• Fixed a bug related to switching language where it would not always actually switch language.
• Fixed a bug causing servers to dissapear from the server list after some hours.

 

PERFORMANCE

• Fixed some major server stability issues. We are monitoring the servers closely to aim for no further issues. (hopefully)
• Fixed an issue causing the game to potentially freeze when starting up.

 

GAMEPLAY

• The Landsunk: Residential capture point no longer spawns a buggy (vehicle) when capturing. We have changed this to a weapon spawn for now when capturing. The buggy will be worked on and added back as soon as all the issues are fixed.
• Fixed a bug related to the flashlight sound where, when the turn on / off sound was playing it could be heared across the whole server.
• Fixed a bug related to the push to talk icon not always showing. When talking in-game now the icon should properly show.
• Improved the melee hit box radius detection to improve the melee fighting with Nether. This is still something we are monitoring.

 



FIXES & CHANGES

• Arachnid Eggs now take up 1 global inventory slot instead of 2.
• Bandages now take up 1 global inventory slot instead of 5.
• Pain Pills now take up 2 global inventory slot instead of 5.
• First Aid Kits now take up 5 global inventory slot instead 10.
• Rations now take 5 global inventory slot instead of 10.
• The rest of the food consumables now each take 1 global inventory slot instead of 5.
• Updated the item description of the glider. The description now explains better how this item works.

 



OVERALL

• To craft an SVD you now need a 7.62 barrel instead of a .45 barrel.

 



OVERALL

• Updated some render distances for some objects that was giving players an advantage. (they could look through certain objects and stuff)
• Updated some render distances for some smaller objects including windows. (to prevent them unloading too early)
• Fixed some flying concrete parts in the Lakeside safe zone.
• Fixed some flying objects next to the Lakeside safe zone.
• Fixed some stairs next to the Lakeside safe zone. These stairs ended up in a dead end. (roof)
• Fixed a building that was missing collision allowing players to walk through. This building was in the Litchfield area.
• Fixed the metro entrances at Bridgeport where there was an invisible wall blocking players.
• Fixed an ambulance loot spawn next to the Bennett Park where were was not always loot spawning when opening the crate.
• Added missing grass around the Maple Street beach area.
• Added missing grass next to the Riverside outpost.
• Overall lowered the amount of golden crate spawns. We will closely watch further community feedback from here and keep working on this.

 



As this is the first time we are opening up the servers for a wide audience there's always a risk of issues and we kindly ask for your patience in case of any unexpected events. Especially given the fact that we pushed the release date to TONIGHT instead of in 1 week.

Hey everyone,

Welcome to Developer Briefing #24! This week we’re delving into how we’ve designed maps and match mechanics that give players different combat and strategic experiences each time they play them.

How do we achieve this? By having the game change which sectors are active for contention each time a new round starts. More on that below…



To help explain how one level gives our players multiple battlefield experiences we’ve created a gif of Sainte-Marie-du-Mont’s map that highlights various combinations that you might encounter.



As you can see the map is split into 15 sectors, or three lanes of five.

Depending on which sectors are set active by the server you might have the majority of both teams fighting over one/two lanes or find them being spread across the map if the sectors are in a zig-zag formation.

Each different sector scenario requires different approaches and tactics when it comes to troop deployment, armour usage and unit strategy. Do you focus on a blitzkrieg of the enemy from the front? Envelop the enemy with a wide flank? Send units to ambush the enemy and counter any wide pushes? The choice is yours.



The nature of our sector mechanic also lends itself to creating entirely different combat experiences for our players each time they play the same map.

Using Sainte-Marie-du-Mont as the example once again, you could end up fighting through open fields, hedgerows and farm buildings one match...



Then the next time round you could be fighting in a more rural urban setting as you fight to capture the imposing Brecourt Manor compound...



Or even get into the middle of brutal building to building fighting in the town of Sainte-Marie-du-Mont itself!



This means that when you replay a map, you get an entirely different experience to the last few times you battled over it, after all, each map has 99 possible variants!

This sector variety is applied to all current Hell Let Loose maps and will be included in all future ones too, giving our maps a fresh and exciting feel each time your boots hit the ground.



The last closed beta before Hell Let Loose’s Early Access launch on June 6th is taking place between May 24th and May 27th.

This will be the first time our snow covered Foy map will be playable and it’s unlike anything you’ve played so far!

Whatever sectors you end up fighting over, you’d better hope that when you charge through the mist you don’t run into one of these…
