Community Announcements - 蜀山:初章
各位道友好:
距离《蜀山:初章》网络版首部资料片“南方魔教”的发布已过去一个半月;距离网络版的正式发布迄今也超过三月!
而在这段时间里,我们收到大量道友关于蜀山的建议和反馈:先给大家说一声谢谢!感谢依然还在游戏里支持我们的各位道友!也感谢曾经支持过我们的所有道友!
同时,胖某也在这里携重楼的小伙伴们给大家诚挚道歉:
制作之初,从单机起项的我们高估了自己的把控能力,同时低估了面对大型MMO的运营难度。导致上线后从内容研发、更新、运营、甚至对外挂和工作室打压制裁都出了问题;给大家带来了不好的游戏体验,如同许多道友的评价一样:第一天惊艳、第二天bug。。。第三十天已经XXXX;
但是,我们绝不放弃:所有的调优、资料片等都在持续进行中:
1) 这几个月,我们沉下心来给了客户端足够的优化时间:帧率将大规模提升,显存消耗将大规模下降;预计8月份全部完成;
2) 我们这几个月反复看了买断版和网络版的道友们的各种留言包括批评、建议以及各种差评,尽可能找到导致大部分玩家游戏不畅的卡点;
3) 我们组织了全新的数值团队,深入体验游戏了接近4个月,特别是很多道友们重点吐槽的地方,我们着重安排体验;
4) 我们组织人手大规模体验了诸多同类游戏,反省自己在各处细节的不足;
5) 我们推掉了很多计划中的频繁小更新,改为更为稳定的月更新;
6) 最终,我们推迟了原计划于六月端午节发布的网络版第二个资料片,带来了重新开发超过3个月的网络版新资料片“万象更新”:这一次,我们将从新手任务、引导、装备玩法等所有养成相关、货币获取消耗以及分级、据点争夺领土建设等所有宗族玩法相关、服务器生态控制、交易等诸多方面从新定义蜀山!
(因为重构了整个蜀山,导致了原计划的网络版第二部资料片暨买断版第四部免费资料片延期,还请大家见谅,这里跪谢!万丈高楼平地起,我们现在只有全力以赴打好地基,才能给大家带来更多更好的游戏体验)

【网络版第二部资料片“万象更新”规划】
本次资料片将分为三个阶段长达40天进行:
1. 我们将在七月下旬进行《蜀山:初章》网络版第二个免费大型资料片“万象更新”第一阶段的更新(具体更新时间请关注官方后续发布的公告):
1) 开放资料片先行区;
2) 将全新重构的蜀山新版本导入资料片先行区给大家体验;
3) 并根据资料片先行区的数据反馈实时调优;
4) 资料片先行区的玩家在每次重大版本更新时都将享有优先体验权。
2. 我们将在八月上旬进行《蜀山:初章》网络版第二个免费大型资料片“万象更新”第二阶段的更新(具体更新时间请关注官方后续发布的公告):
1) 全新的功能、系统、UI界面更新;
2) 全新的宗族、世界等服务器生态玩法更新。
3. 我们将在八月下旬进行《蜀山:初章》网络版第二个免费大型资料片“万象更新”第三阶段的更新(具体更新时间请关注官方后续发布的公告):
1) 资料片完整同步入所有老服:因为改动过于庞大,也关系到很多玩家的切身利益,我们需要足够的时间来保证版本融合不出问题,同时征求老服玩家们的支持、同意;
2) 给老服玩家发放相应补偿、数值维护及对应养成提升:比如原本老版本强化13的数值效果,在新版本中应有的表现!

【特别说明】
本次版本是我们广泛收集网络版/买断版道友意见后,历时四个月打造的一个大型重制版本,版本将会对游戏数值进行大规模的优化,期望给各位道友带来更好的游戏体验。
此外,由于新数值及玩法改动较大,与老服数据存在一定冲突,我们需进行大量兼容性处理和测试,所以目前暂时只能在新开的资料片先行区-全新服务器里体验到重新定义后的蜀山;待后续兼容性处理完毕后,我们将迅速对老服进行同步升级。
因此,还请老服的道友们耐心等待;我们会在资料片的第三阶段导入全新版本,并给大家足够对应的补偿(同时,各位老服的道友也可以在fanbook社区留言:xx服希望保留老体系/新体系,或者担心新体系会遇见哪些问题特别是造成不公平的、投入损失了的,我们会着重考虑)。

【“万象更新”第一阶段:部分内容爆料】
1、游戏数值大规模优化(部分内容预告)
1)装备系统优化

目的:
a) 装备境界拆分,现在每一阶段都有对应的绿蓝紫橙红装啦!降低装备获取难度,帮助道友更舒适的渡过前期;
b) 提升装备养成收益,提升不同装备替换的成长体验;
c) 降低养成难度,使得装备成长体验更加平滑;
d) 优化玩家个性化build门槛。

2)大世界优化
优化大世界怪物分布,按怪物境界划分怪物的刷新区域,使之更合理,让道友们更容易找到当前境界对应的怪物。
目的:
a) 避免道友前期遇到境界明显高于自己的怪物;
b) 也避免境界差异过大的道友在同一区域争抢怪物,造成不公平的竞争。

3)养成相关优化

目的:
a) 降低养成的资源消耗;
b) 提升养成带来的收益,使得广大道友可以更低门栏的追求各种养成,但同时又保证可支撑大家的长期体验;
c) 最终实现多样化build。

4)玩法相关优化

目的:丰富每日玩法内容和资源获取途径,避免枯燥的挂机模式。

5)其他优化
优化怪物难度,降低天劫对道友造成的伤害。调整不同族群掉落的套装并优化副本、成长之路、每日签到的奖励产出。
目的:大幅度降低道友每日肝度并增加产出。优化道友体验。

2、降低新手门槛:
在深入调研最终、逆水寒端手游后,我们推翻了原先“粗制滥造”的新手指引!我们将花大量时间重构打磨这块!这会是一个一直持续调整的过程,我们会竭尽全力。

3、重构玩法线、成长节奏:
1)在蜀山的最初设计中,我们将所有的玩法功能第一时间开放,并任由玩家在这无缝地图上自由体验:经过大量数据反馈发现,这项设计理念对大量新道友及其不友好,过于“反人类”;
2)我们将配合全新的新手引导、主线重新布置了所有养成及玩法的开放节奏以及对应体验反馈,帮助大家平滑沉浸入这复杂的修仙大世界;
3)我们也会开启相应的玩法预告引导功能。

4、全新的宗族体验、据点争霸玩法(部分预告):
1)新的据点战将增加独特玩法;
2)据点战修改为宗族资金竞标的模式;
3)还有更多的新增玩法,具体请关注后续更新详细内容。

5、门派调整:
1)我们将对门派系统进行大规模调整,暂时取消门派玩法:该玩法将在门派功能全部调试完毕后于跨服版本再度开放(未来门派玩法的核心将是无缝大世界里的占据、建造、对抗);
2)集中全力新增、优化宗族玩法,进一步加强小队体验及宗族体验:希望更多道友可以参与进宗族中来;
3)守卫山门将改为全服大型挑战活动。
目的:
1)让道友们更集中于宗族玩法中,为道友们减负;
2)同时,为将来门派与宗族玩法的差异化做好准备工作。

6、更多内容请关注我们相应的更新介绍哦,敬请期待!

【新资料片新服预告】
官方将于资料片第一阶段更新完毕后:
1、同步开启全新大区:资料片先行区;
2、新区9服“万佛金塔”,新服将采用全新数值及玩法。

新专区与老服一致,属于正式服并将长期开放,请各位道友放心畅玩。新专区依然采用老服点卡制收费。新专区玩家将享受资料片优先更新福利;但同时面临版本版本不稳定的隐患。因此欢迎道友们多多提意见,与我们一起进行优化。具体开服时间将在后续详细公告内通知大家,全新数值,全新体验,欢迎各位新老道友!

【最后】
这里先提前给大家说声抱歉:我们的确没法确定我们每次更新一定能给大家带来非常好的游戏体验!但是我们能确定的是,我们一直在竭尽全力的为这一目标努力!

【其他注意项】
1、本次资料片的其他内容及优化详细将在后续发布,请各位道友持续关注。
2、由于版本内容过大,新资料片更新跨度时间预计比较长,届时各位道友可以稍事休息。

Waven - Tyranea
Land Ho, Castaways!

With a free early access period that's open to the public starting August 16, a game experience overflowing with content, strategy and challenges awaits you in WAVEN. A new take on the tactical RPG that's simple, dynamic, fun and immersive is now only a quick boat ride away! Whether you're a fan of tactical gameplay, deckbuilding, or just looking for an original and colorful world to explore, WAVEN offers brisk turn-based combat, multiple game modes, and plenty of secrets to discover… Prepare to set sail for an epic adventure and join the WAVEN community!



What Is WAVEN's Early Access Phase?

Early access involves putting an early version of a game online while it is still under development. The goal is to get your feedback (suggestions, bug reports, comments, etc.) to refine and improve WAVEN before its official release, currently scheduled for late 2023. Early access is an opportunity to actively contribute to the game's evolution and its development process.

The early-access version of WAVEN will be incomplete, and its content may be subject to change before the official release. After that, WAVEN will continue to evolve with new content, patches, etc.

Content in the Early Access Version of WAVEN

Play as one of the 25 heroes currently available, grouped into 5 classes (Cra, Eniripsa, Iop, Sram and Xelor)…
To write your legend, choose your character from a set of 25 heroes, each with a unique strategic approach and specific gameplay mechanics, passives and skills to let every player develop their own preferred gameplay style.

With the simplified hero selection interface, jump right into the action by choosing your starting character based on the archetypes you know and love from the RPG genre (archer, warrior, healer, assassin and mage).




Begin your initiation with a tutorial guided by Goultard!
Once you've selected your hero, the legendary Goultard will guide you through the tutorial island, the "Shushued Rift", to forge your first weapons and introduce you to the basic combat mechanics in fights against terrifying Shushus. The Goultard tutorial has been improved to provide a more immersive learning experience and help familiarize you more quickly with the subtleties of tactical combat!

Prepare for the epic adventure ahead…

Sail off to new horizons and explore different archipelagos!
The island nation of Astrub will be your first port of call, where you'll take on your first introductory quests and start accumulating points to unlock the archipelagos of Amakna,* Bonta and Brakmar. Explore their magnificent landscapes and discover their many secrets, meet local residents to learn more about the history of the World of Twelve in the WAVEN era, complete their thirteen quests to obtain useful rewards for your deck, and even pause for a moment to immerse yourself in one of the island nations' exclusive concerts…

* The island nation of Amakna will be inaccessible during WAVEN's early access phase. However, its monster islands (Gobballs, Taurs, Tofus) can be unlocked and accessed by boat.








In addition to the introductory side quests, which have been updated to simplify your introduction to combat mechanics and better prepare you for the epic adventure that lies ahead, Astrub also offers two exclusive quests known as "clan quests", forming initial narrative threads that serve as a prologue to WAVEN's main storyline.* The entire game is dubbed in both English and French for a completely immersive experience.

* The main storyline will be revealed when the game is officially released at the end of the year.

Challenges Abound in WAVEN…

Dominate the Monster Islands…
The three archipelagos of Amakna, Bonta and Brakmar are each surrounded by three monster islands, and represent the last remaining vestiges of the former World of Twelve, now almost completely submerged under the waves.

Each island is controlled by a monster family with its own unique designs, challenges and dungeons. Land on these islands, face their challenges and level up your heroes! Obtain new equipment, spells and companions to build ever more powerful characters, and fine-tune your strategy while optimizing your deckbuilding.




…Or Be Dominated!
Add extra difficulty to your dungeon fights and enrich your strategic experience with brooches! Invite monarchs and elite monsters to the enemy team to add a bit of spice to your adventure. If you rise to their challenges, you can earn Wakfu that you can use to unlock special chests with exclusive rewards.


The Shushu Is in the Details
Enigmatic prisms are scattered in hidden locations on the various monster islands. These prisms hold special, rare rewards. Explore, find them, and collect them all to become an illustrious explorer of WAVEN's islands!

Level Up Your Heroes and Their Skills…
Each time you level up, assign skill points to your stats, class spells, hero spells or passive modifiers. Customize and optimize your character for maximum synergy with your ever-expanding deck! Reach the maximum level (level 50) to unlock your hero's full power and potential.

And track their progress in the World of Twelve!
Track your ongoing quests, discover unlockable achievements and the associated rewards, and measure all your accomplishments throughout your journey with your Logbook. Plus, in exchange for quest points, you can unlock all-new cosmetic items for your haven island, ship, and more!


There's Greater Glory in Numbers
Prepare to take on even more thrilling challenges when you tackle WAVEN's different quests with a group. Form groups of up to 3 players with your friends or other castaways, and battle your way to cooperative victories to earn additional rewards. Each fight offers a group challenge, for which victory or failure will impact your entire party.

Legends are never written alone…
Face Off Against the Toughest Castaways
The "Kolossium" PvP island welcomes all players looking to put their deckbuilding and tactical skills to the test in one-on-one battles. In the arena, all heroes are level 1, no equipment is available, and all spells and companions are unlocked, so you'll have to rely on strategy and careful planning to emerge victorious!




Save Your Progress Wherever Your Odyssey Takes You!
Continue your adventure right where you left off, whether on PC or Mac, with Ankama Launcher or Steam – and soon on mobile devices and tablets too, when the game is officially released at the end of this year. Your progress will be saved* from this early access phase, and you'll keep it even after WAVEN's official release!

* If required by exceptional circumstances, we reserve the right to perform a server reset or rollback.

Harvest Hunt - Jay
Posts like these are never easy but sometimes the better choice, is the harder choice.

Horror Stories: Harvest Hunt needs a little longer in the oven.

We know all the fellow hunters out there were excited to storm Luna Nova but some more preparations are needed to ensure the Devourer doesn't win the day! Here's an update direct from our studio director, Mark:



"Greetings Villains!

As you know, we planned to release Horror Stories: Harvest Hunt on Steam Early Access on July 26th. We took a good look at what we have, and after some great feedback from our players and some new opportunities that arose recently that are beneficial to the game and the studio, we think it's better if we give the team some breathing space to get the best game ready for you. Therefore we will be delaying our release into Steam Early Access.

In the meantime, we still invite you to play the free demo, share your feedback, and actively participate in discussions. We want to provide you with the best experience, and we would love to invite you on this journey."

New mechanics for ghosts reaction

Now when players scare the ghost away, it takes a protective object in his hands and examines it. Meanwhile, players should run away from the ghost for a certain distance in order not to fall under his next attack. If players do not run away to the right distance, attacks continue continuously until the death of the players

This distance depends on the subject, the ghost and the difficulty level. An alarm sound warns you about this distance

  • Fixed double appearance of the ghost from around the corner
  • The 4th rank ghost will now appear with the High rank modifier
  • Fixed text display in the How to Play section for widescreen monitors.

Battlefield™ 2042 - yellowcup
Welcome to the Arkangel Directive, where two factions are engaged in heavy conflict and are both fighting to take control. Your orders are to dominate every objective and gain vital telemetry data so we can map and take control of the area. This will be a combined-arms battle like you’ve never seen before – and by the end, your squad will need to be the deadliest weapon on the battlefield to claim victory.



Remember, a squad isn’t born, it’s forged – so leave your egos behind, gear up, and get ready to take control before the enemy controls you.
...
