System
Alpha & Omega
Two new objectives are infiltrating Lumia Island. Created as a result of Aglaia's Geppetto Project, Alpha & Omega are androids artificially brought to life through the infusion of Vital Force (VF). They still tend to be a bit… unstable and incomplete at the moment. The androids drop Mithril & Force Core, making them important objectives to fight over.
Alpha
Spawns 340s after Game Start (Day 2 Morning)
Randomly spawns in either Uptown or Alley (Location is announced 1 minute before spawn)
Skill: Ark Blade
Swings blades in a semicircle dealing damage and knocking back enemies. Being knocked into walls stuns enemies.
Drops Mithril, Recon Drone, and 1 Rare or Uncommon material (Excluding Moonstone).
Omega
Spawns 640s after Game Start (Day 3 Morning)
Spawns in either Uptown or Alley, depending on where Alpha did not spawn.
Skill: Ark Blade
Skill: System Overload (Passive)
Takes more damage when hit with a skill. (Cooldown 8s)
Mechanism to decrease difference in objective-farming ability between characters
Skill: VF Pulse
After channeling, releases a surge of VF and knocks enemies into the air, dealing damage.
Enemies hit lose 30% Attack Power for 5s
Drops Force Core, EMP Drone, and 1 Rare or Uncommon material (Excluding Moonstone).
Acceleration Influx Perimeter
All borders between areas now have a Acceleration Influx Perimeter. Acceleration Influx Perimeters now work as a way to evade early-game chasers and reduces travel time between areas without hyperloops.
Passing through an Acceleration Influx Perimeter will cause it to disappear and increase the movement speed of the subject by 30% for 2s.
The movement speed increase buff will disappear with any action besides moving.
Acceleration Influx Perimeters will reappear after 7s.
Major Objective Placements & Extended Map Indicators
Spawn timers for major objectives have been changed. The changes can be seen as the following:
Day 1 length increased (160s → 180s)
Initial Bat spawns have been pushed back by 20s.
2 Trees of Life will spawn on Day 1 Night. (Hotel → Hotel, Cemetery)
Tree of Life will no longer spawn on Day 2 Morning.
2 Trees of Life will spawn on Day 2 Night. (Cemetery → Forest, Hospital) (A new Tree of Life has been added to Hospital)
Alpha & Omega have been added. (Alpha - Day 2 Morning, Omega - Day 3 Morning. See above for more info)
There are more Meteorites and they will spawn more frequently.
A total of 4 will spawn. One will spawn every day/night cycle change starting from Day 1 Night.
The 3rd & 4th Meteorites spawn 20/40s later than the cycle change due to complications in the code. This will fixed in a future patch.
Wickeline spawn: (Day 3 Morning → Day 3 Night)
Wickeline no longer drops Force Core.
Wickeline, Alpha, Omega, Tree of Life, Meteorites will be displayed on the Map (M).
If Wickeline or Alpha & Omega are alive, they will be displayed on the map.
Tree of Life and Meteorites will show up on the map if they are collectable.
These features will be implemented in the Match Status / Scoreboard (Tab) map in the future.
Vision Improvements
Vision and Fog of War have been improved more accurately all over the map.
Vision will now be much clearer than before. Objects such as high walls and trees will now block vision accurately.
The decrease of load on vision should also help improve optimization.
With the increased ability to actively block vision, we're hoping to see more play-making by using vision creatively.
Example 1: Vision behind the tree is now concealed. Example 2: No longer granted vision of Pond Bear Plateau when beneath it.
HP Bar Color for Team Modes
Check if the enemy is alone at a glance. This will be on by default but can be turned off in the settings. Turning the feature off will only differentiate HP bars between your allies and enemies, like before.
Hyperloop After-Use Effects
Hyperloops are inherently dangerous, but getting absolutely instantly exploded isn't a great feeling. This should make them safer but shouldn't make them overly advantageous.
After Hyperlooping, the hyperlooper is untargetable and negates all damage for 1s.
After Hyperlooping, the hyperlooper is unable to use any normal attacks, skills, or items and is slowed by 30% for 1.5s.
Gameplay Main Improvements
Critical Strike Damage: 175% → 165%
Vision Range at night: 60% → 70%
Item Skills have been changed to be Unique Passives.
Equipping multiple items with the same Unique Passive will result in only one of the effects being active.
If the effect is the same, the option with the superior stats will have higher priority.
Equipping an item with Attack Range +1.25 while wielding another item with Attack Range +1 will result in only the Attack Range +1.25 stat being applied.</ac:inline-comment-marker>
Rest Recovery & Recovery Intervals
Recovery intervals while resting is now shorter and the healing efficiency is increased.
Recovery Interval: 1s → 0.4s
HP Recovery per tick : 20 + Level + Max HP 2% → 10 + Level * 0.5 + Max HP 1%
SP Recovery per tick : 15 + Level * 0.5 + Max SP 2% → 8 + Level * 0.3 + Max SP 1%
QoL Improvements
Displays the item currently being crafted in Fast Crafting to reduce accidental crafting.
Improved visibility items in inventory.
Unusable items such as ingredients, unequippable weapons, etc will not display an item slot number.
Slots will darken when the item is unable to be used.

Currently there are some issues with Voice System, which may cause you cannot chat with teammates fluently. We’re urgently fixing it. Sorry for the inconvenience it caused.
TL;DR: This hotfix fixes the issue with the steering misbehaviour notification.
This hotfix fixes the infamous steering misbehaviour and is just 1kb in size but what took so long was figuring out how to add this hotfix to the current public build of the game because we cannot create branches of the game’s binary files. Thus it does not change the version number of the build.
