Greetings Warlander!

A content update for Warlander will go live on April 19th around 12 CEST. This update will feature a new Map, new Mercenary Customization, plus a ton of Feature Improvements, and bug fixes.

• This Map is a twist on the existing "Dawn Bridge”.
  
• The entire Map is now shrouded in fog, and the overall atmosphere has changed dramatically.
  
• The location and number of towers, walls, and siege and anti-siege weapons have been altered, changing the flow of the battle.
  
• After this update goes live, the map rotation for 2-army battles will occur every hour and a half. The rotation will be “Ritual Valley” → “Dawn Bridge A” → “Dawn Bridge B.”
  
• The above rotation will start with the new Dawn Bridge B for 30 minutes from 12:00 to 12:30 (CEST)!
  
• Update times are subject to change without notice; if the update occurs after 12:30 (CEST), the first "Dawn Bridge B" will be available for play from 15:30 CEST.
  
• *The map rotation schedule is subject to change without notice.
  
• *Please note that matchmaking may take time due to an insufficient number of players if started immediately before the map rotates.

• Skills for some Mercenaries are now possible to edit.

• A daily bonus feature has been implemented that allows players to earn one more Battle Results reward for the first Battle of the day.

• Processing load has been reduced so that the game can be played more comfortably even on low-spec PCs.

• You can now see the game mode, map, and time elapsed since matchmaking began in the matchmaking lobby.
  
• Improved matchmaking algorithm to ensure more equal team making.

• Previously, it was too easy to defeat Robot pilots. As such, pilots will now receive 10 points of armor per second while riding the Robot (max 200).
  
• Made it possible for the Robot driver to open the gate.

• Removed beginner quests "Perform a Finisher" and "Play one 5-Army Battle."

• An explanation of Mercenaries is now displayed during the new player tutorial.

• You can now earn Valor points when destroying weapons with fire damage.

• Certain objects have had their placement adjusted on the map Dawn Bridge.
  
• Adjusted defensive perimeters around C Tower, E Tower, and the area next to the castle (around the ladders)

• Bot behavior has been adjusted so that Bots will behave more in line with the battle situation.

• Style (Weapon Swap) Change is no longer canceled when you are struck by a melee attack.
  
• If an airborne player is struck by a Guard Break they will be blown back as if they were hit by a melee attack.

• When deleting a character, you must now reconfirm even after confirming once.

• Changed the speed of some melee attacks used by the Warrior and Cleric for the following reasons:
  
• Fixed a problem where enemies would appear to not be hit or stunned when attacked by melee attacks.
  
• Fixed an issue where some attack combos could attack the enemy with no room for counterattack.
  
• Fixed an issue in which melee attacks could sometimes interrupt opposing melee attacks, thus reducing the importance of the Attack/Guard/Guard Break triangle.

• The current damage of the Cleric’s melee damage vs objects is high, so in addition to the above adjustment to the animation speed of melee attacks, the following adjustments have been made:

Cleric melee attack damage to objects adjustments

• Normal 1…45→22
  
• Normal 2…45→22
  
• Normal 3…120→60
  
• Critical Strike…50→37
  
• Guard Break 1…15→7
  
• Guard Break 2…22→11
  
• Guard Break 3…30→15
  
• Jump Attack…67→33
  
• Jump Attack（From High）…120→60
  
• Dash Attack…67→33
  
• Back Attack…90→45

• For the Warrior skill "Power Bomb", the timing between the activation of the skill and the beginning of the Super Armor has been delayed slightly in order to add more counterplay to interactions involving this Skill.

• To adjust the impact of catapults in Battle, damage taken by wooden objects set ablaze by the catapult has been reduced from 600 to 300.
  
• Siege weapons now take 10 damage per second when on fire, down from 30 per second.
  
• Anti-siege weapon base durability has been increased from 120 to 400 as Mages were destroying them too easily.
  
• Changed the HP of cannons before/after reinforcement from 400/800 to 300/600, the same value as a ballista. Reload time adjusted from 3s to 2s

• The movement speed of the Legendary Warrior Title "Centurion" in Colossus Form has been reduced to 136% speed, down from 200%. This is due to the Skill potentially affecting gameplay in a network game.

• The position of Cataclysm Idols for each map has been adjusted so that it appears more in line with the battle situation.

Valor Point acquisition has been adjusted in the following ways, in order to better maintain fairness in battle:

Kills

• The difference in Title Ranks is now factored into the number of Valor Points earned when a kill is made.

Squad Missions

The following adjustments have been made because the large number of Valor points earned from Squad missions was causing immediate Valor Level increases, leading to one-sided Battles.

• Valor Points earned for each squad mission 400/800/1200 -> 200/400/800

Adjustments have been made to the squad missions, as there was a large difference in the difficulty level between the different squad roles.

Assault Squad

• Destroy 50% or more of an enemy Core → Destroy 10% or more of an enemy Core

Castle Guard Squad

• 0 Damage to your Core for 3 mins/6 mins/10 mins → 0 Damage to your Core for 5 mins/8 mins/12 mins

Special Ops Squad (Dawn Bridge A, The Pentagon)

• Dawn Bridge A: Capture 4 or more towers at the same time → Capture 5 or more towers at the same time
  
• The Pentagon: Capture 5 or more towers at the same time → Capture 6 or more towers at the same time

If a Battle is settled before the requirements of a Squad Mission are met, Valor Points will be awarded as soon as the Battle ends.

Valor Rank

• Along with the adjustment of Valor Points earned for kills, the Valor points required to advance to each Valor rank have also been adjusted.
  
• Valor Points required to advance to each Valor Level
  
• 500/1200/2100/3200/4500 → 500/1300/2400/3800/5500

• Fixed a bug that caused team-making to fail in rare cases, resulting in a network error.
  
• Fixed a bug that sometimes allowed two players to acquire a Cataclysm at the same time.
  
• Fixed an issue where the Robot self-destructs attack damage would not destroy Siege Weapons.
  
• Fixed an issue where the "Firewall" skill would not hit an enemy who was guarding.
  
• Fixed an issue where colliding with a shield while using the skill Rushdown would not detonate a Wind mine.
  
• When attempting to set a squad marker while riding a siege weapon, the marker will now be placed correctly at the crosshair.
  
• Fixed a bug that prevented Crystal Defender from responding to users on Ballistae.
  
• Fixed a problem where Lightning Shock would not hit enemies on ballistae.
  
• Camera option settings are now applied when operating the Robot's gunner seat.
  
• Fixed issue where resuscitate wouldn’t work sometimes on inclines.
  
• Fixed a bug where quests for earning Valor Points, which are exclusive to each class, could be earned by other classes.
  
• Fixed a bug where a dash slash or guard break would rarely display the prompt for a Critical Strike.
  
• Fixed an issue where Mercenaries were not customized appropriately compared to their CP count.
  
• Fixed a bug where guard behavior may be incorrect for the following Skills and Familiars:
  
• Crystal Defender
  
• Wind Trap
  
• Magic Napalm
  
• Anti-Siege Weapon: Cannon
  
• Rocket Punch
  
• Rocket
  
• Other minor bug fixes

The new map "Dawn Bridge B" will be released with this update!

This is an alternative version of the existing Dawn Bridge map.
The map has been covered in a thick fog, significantly changing its atmosphere.
The number and location of all Towers and Siege Weapons have been changed, allowing battles to proceed differently from the original Dawn Bridge.

We have made the difficult decision to postpone the console release of Warlander, initially planned for April. In accordance with the change in the release date, we will also be extending Season 0. As unhappy as we are to have to keep our players waiting, this will allow for a more polished release, and we thank you for your continued patience and understanding.

The new Console release date will be shared soon.

The new map “Moonlit Church” will also be released prior to the Season 1 / Console Release which will bring the total 2 Army map rotation to 4 maps total before the season change.



Thank you for your continued love and support!

Hello, Shatterliners.

An important patch has arrived:

• Having analyzed all the available feedback and data on the regeneration speed change, we decided to restore it to its previous state in PvP, and leave it as is in PvE. After this change, we'll continue monitoring feedback and data, and will implement further adjustments if needed.
  
• Fixed issue in Expedition where players could do multiple decontaminations in a row and fully reset contamination after completing a dungeon.
  
• Fixed issue in Expedition where the players were shown on the ground for a split second before the cinematic clip with deployment.
  
• Fixed issue in Expedition where the Shady contract could be completed by itself, without players' doing anything to this end.
  
• Fixed issue in Expedition where the requested supplies could be dropped in the area where the players had come from.
  
• Fixed issue in Expedition where the crystalline trucks activity rewards were not in line with the designed values.
  
• Fixed issue in Expedition where the Data Center encounter could be activated by one player, and it could be started with an active extraction at that.

Added 3 more achievements.

Hi everyone!!! We wanted to give you news about the next update and tell you that we have been getting a bit carried away with putting content in the game and the next update is scheduled for around May 16.

Please stay tuned for more news by following our Steam page.

Update content:

Heaps of really great Content coming in 0.5

Enjoy 2 new maps with all the changes that come with them!
2 new Bosses to Take on and test your Freedom.
0.5 has had Limited internal testing so light up the Discord or Steam Forum with any issues you find.

To address the elephant in the room.
It has been a long time since an update to Freedom Drive, but that do not worry, That does not mean we are finished with Freedom Drives story. But it does mean development may continue to be slow.

I am a one man army when it comes to Freedom Drive, so unfortunately when life gets in the way i have to take a break from indie dev.

I look forward to hearing some feed back and let me know if you beat the new bosses!

- makes it much easier to add custom maps

In this development update, we want to talk a bit about everyone’s favorite all-purpose drone APD-B317 aka Bosco.

It was always clear to us that if we wanted to make a single player Deep Rock Galactic game, we had to bring along this guy to help you out. When you land with the drop pod and exit onto the caves of Hoxxes IV, ready for your first mission, Bosco is right there with you.


Thank you Syliss - we agree!

In the beginning, it’s not the most helpful robot but fortunately, management has graciously agreed to grant it many of the upgrades you have come to expect. Every few level-ups (currently 5), you will have the opportunity to upgrade Bosco with new tech, or upgrade his existing kit. Here’s one such choice:

Please don’t mind the placeholder graphics

I chose Rockets this time around, and here is the result - without upgrades of course.


Now this is the current state of Bosco in our very early version of the game. What follows will describe our intentions and vision for Bosco in the future, and it comes with a classic Early Access caveat that you should print and frame and hang on your wall or tattoo on your forehead.


We want Bosco to be a helpful companion that can be upgraded not just in means of destruction but also in utility. It’s easy to imagine the robot engaging in mining, healing, crowd control, collecting XP etc. Bosco also serves as a great ‘Point B’ for abilities such as the electrical tether from the upgrade screen above, which adds a layer of strategy to your positioning.

The limitations of Bosco in an auto-shooter is that we will not be able to use laser pointers to command it around, since it goes against the genre idea of not aiming. As an alternative, we could have unlockable perks that change the behavior of Bosco to your desired need, such as: Aggressive, defensive, mining-mode etc. This opens up the challenge of doing full ‘Bosco Build runs’ where you transfer much of the power, and possibly your entire arsenal to the robot and make it a true killing machine while you are free to mine at will.


V old friend


DISCLAIMER: Management advises against the personification and nicknaming of robots because of decreased morale and depression in the unlikely event of a malfunction.
