Greetings, Adventurers!

New World Update 2.0.2 downtime will begin at 4:00AM PT (11:00AM UTC) on August 3 and last approximately 1.5 hours. It includes fixes to framerates, the sandwurm Elite Trial, and more. Read on for a full breakdown of the performance changes.

• We have implemented a performance change to the way shaders are loaded on the game client. This change is expected to enhance the overall gameplay experience by reducing instances of frame-hitching and stuttering. However, it's important to note that there will be a noticeable impact on game boot-up time as a trade-off.
  
• The new start-up time will vary depending on your local hardware setup, with less delays experienced on SSD hard drives and longer delays on HDDs.
  
• During this process, your client will remain on the initial New World logo screen for up to a minute as it front-loads necessary assets. We kindly ask for your patience while you experience this new personal start time benchmark.
  
• We will closely monitor player feedback and telemetry on client performance after this change, in search of further opportunities for optimization.
  
• Fixed a number of server crashes that disconnected players with a “Lag Detected” error.

• Fixed an issue that allowed players to end the recovery of the Blunderbuss ability “Splitting Grenade” early.
  
• Increased the amount of health players gain from the first 150 levels of Constitution attribute points.
  
• Swapped the 150 DEX and 300 DEX attribute threshold bonuses with each other.
  
• The Detonate Heartrune is no longer able to deal Critical damage.
  
• Reduced the strength of the Spear’s “Cyclone” slow effect, from 50% to 30%.
  
• Limited the number of targets that could be affected by the Spear’s “Leeching Cyclone” Perk in a single use to 3.
  
• Reworked the Sword's “Achille's Heel” passive to instead be a Rend.

• Fixed an issue that caused players who died during the encounter to not receive rewards upon completion.

• Fixed an issue that made Legendary Fish far easier to catch than intended.
  
• Introduced hotkeys for Gear Set Storage. You can now specify hotkeys that will swap your current loadout to a specific Gear Set Storage loadout.
  
• Fixed an issue that made the Artisan Fishing Pole unusable.

• Fixed an issue that caused the Earn PvP XP Season Activity to display incorrect text.
  
• Fixed an issue that caused Season XP awarded from crafting Gypsum Casts to not scale correctly when crafting multiple casts at once.
  
• Fixed an issue that prevented players who did not earn a Gear Set Slot through the Season 1 Season Pass from purchasing it through the Store.
  
• Fixed an issue that caused the Journey task “Call of the Ancients” to not properly record song completion.

• Fixed an issue that caused the Hordemaster boss to spawn less monsters than intended.
  
• Fixed an issue that caused a large gray plane to be visible within the arena space.
  
• Fixed an issue that caused long load times for some Seasonal content.

• During the “Break Some Eggs” quest, it is now no longer necessary to travel to the Neopolis as the Hatchery Soul Trial immediately unlocks after applying oil.
  
• Reduced enemy health and damage in the “Break Some Eggs” Soul Trial.
  
• NPC "Spawned Guy" no longer spawns in the world.
  
• Removed lingering missions from Old First Light as that zone is no longer accessible due to the Angry Earth.

• Increased the amount of personal score points gained from contesting outpost control points by 40% in Outpost Rush.
  
• 3v3 Arenas - The Brimstone Sands Arena has been activated once again as part of the 2-week rotation. It will remain active until 8/15/23 when the original Soulwarden's Proving Ground Arena will be activated.

• Fixed an issue where Minstrel Pattern items could not be crafted even though you had the materials.
  
• Fixed a rare issue that prevented players from accessing their Season Journey and Activities.
  
• Fixed a texture loading issue that caused the chat window to become white.
  
• Fixed an issue that caused chat channel tooltips to be incorrect.
  
• Fixed an issue that made localized text on Faction Boards incorrect when no PvP missions were available.

Thanks for your support! We’ll see you in Aeternum.

Hey Brigadiers! It's been a long time coming, but patch 1.1.0 is finally here! We gave you a rundown of what to expect in this patch in our last news post, but here's the full run down.


▲ - a buff was applied
▼ - a nerf was applied
⮂ - a tradeoff occurred
🦾 - a change was made based on community feedback

 

• Changed the rules for which combat map is selected for each type of overworld entity
  
  • Combat map randomization will avoid the last selected map if more than one map is available
    
  • Patrols and convoys now qualify for a wider range of maps instead of just Forest themed maps
    
  • Forward bases now qualify for Military maps instead of Forest maps
    
  • Cities, towns and villages now qualify for at least 2 maps each, instead of just one
• Added new types of patrols
  
  • Patrols are now split into 7 different types, and no longer contain the exact same enemy squad for each fight and can vary in speed and vision on the overworld. Some new varieties include:
    
    • Arrowhead - Small vision radius on the overworld, but it moves quickly.
      
    • Hunter - Significantly larger vision radius than a standard patrol. Moves very slowly on the overworld.
      
    • Armored Unit - 8 tanks with very low armour, no mechs.
• Added the missing Blackbird armour - it is now a full set!

• 🦾 Added the ability to drag ALL ACTIONS on the timeline
  
  • You can now drag dashes, melee, movement actions, and wait actions!
    
  • Dragging actions into each other will now shift them along the timeline
    
  • Empty space between movement actions now counts as a 'wait' action, with the mech facing in the last chosen direction
    
  • You can still use the wait action to force your mech to look in a specific direction without moving

• 🦾 Changed the way melee attacks function
  
  • We rewrote the melee hit detection system from the ground up to make it more reliable and easier to execute
    
  • Melee weapons now emit shockwaves that continuously apply damage to everything in their path
    
  • These shockwaves are deterministically sampled, resulting in 1:1 prediction and execution
    
  • This new system is more reliable and stable at low framerates, while the previous system was less so due to high complexity and reliance on animation based physics

• Added new UI to landing enemy reinforcements to improve their visibility
  
• Added missing functionality that allows attacks against landing units
  
• Added new UI to crash prediction system to improve visibility of crash occurrence
  
• Added isoline display to maps while planning movements or selecting a target
  
• Changed the appearance of retreat zones to be more visible

• Fixed a significant data issue in the difficulty scaling of combat scenarios
  
• Due to an oversight in data, some scenarios were spawning several units more than they should have been, elevating the difficulty of the game significantly in the second province
  
• ⮂ Changed turret behaviour
  
• Turrets now detect targets in a cone and fire at appropriate ranges, rather than detecting in a static circle
  
• ▲ Changed shotgun balance to have a wider effective range

For a more comprehensive description of the changes made to support modding efforts, please follow this link: https://wiki.braceyourselfgames.com/en/PhantomBrigade/Modding/ModSystemChanges

Below is a surface-level list of changes made to support the modding community:

• Simplified mod installation - the mods.yaml file required to install mods is now included automatically without requiring a user to create it themselves
  
• Added support for pilot portrait overlays, including decorative overlays for use with the official 3D portraits
  
• This also allows for fully 2D portraits to fully cover the 3D portraits if desired
  
• Added support to mod UI sprites
  
• Added support for modding weapon colours, firing patterns, and special perks
  
• Extended visual system allowing for kitbashing of new weapons and armor
  
• Extended weapon generation system
  
• Extended scenario system, allowing creation of complex combat scenarios and modifications of the combat system
  
• Fixed a huge number of issues in the modding system suggested by programmers in the modding community. Thank you for your continued support and patience!

On August 2, planned maintenance will be carried out on the servers of the Karos game. In this regard, the game may not be available from 08:00 to 08:40 Moscow time.

Please note that the time of the work is indicative and is subject to change. We apologize for any inconvenience.

Update 0.4.0: Relentless Hordes introduces the much-anticipated Horde Mode as well as Player Profiles with stat tracking, the remaining items listed in Phase 2 of our Early Access roadmap! In addition to these new features, this update brings quality-of-life improvements and bug fixes to issues shared by you, our Troopers, on Discord, Steam, and other social media channels. This medium Deployment drops at 10:00 AM PT (GMT-7) on Wednesday, August 2.

Features

• New Game Mode: Horde
  
  • Horde Mode unlocks for Troopers at Career Rank 2.
    
  • Horde Mode is available at Easy, Normal, and Hard difficulty.
    
  • Players must defend the Mobile Headquarters (MHQ) at the base against 10 increasingly difficult waves of Bugs.
    
  • Each wave has two phases: Build Phase and Defend Phase.
    
    • During the Build Phase, Troopers will have a short amount of time to build and repair base defenses using a limited amount of ore. The MHQ itself can only be repaired with special repair canisters obtained from completing secondary objectives during the match.
      
    • During the Defend Phase, Troopers must fight off Bugs that spawn in finite but scaling numbers and difficulty. Build Tools cannot be used and Troopers cannot respawn during this phase - if Troopers are downed while Bugs are present, they will need to be revived by their teammates (Operator Drone and First Aid Stims also work).
  • Three types of secondary objectives that yield repair canisters for the MHQ may be available during the match: Exterminate Arachnids, Restore the Power Generators, and Secure the Signal Booster. Note, Bugs spawned from secondary objectives do not count towards Horde Mode wave counts.
    
  • As groups of waves are defeated, Wave Modifiers will increase Arachnid attack speed, movement, and damage.
    
  • If the MHQ is destroyed or all Troopers are killed, the match ends in defeat. However, if the MHQ is still standing at the end of 10 waves, victory is achieved, and a rescue dropship will be deployed!
    
  • Mission Mutators do not currently apply to this mode but may in future updates.
• New Feature: Player Profiles
  
  • Troopers can now track their in-game stats including their favorite class and weapon as well as other relevant game metrics. Note, these stats will begin being tracked as of Update 0.4.0.
    
    • Career Rank and XP
      
    • Total Hours Played
      
    • Total Kills
      
    • Total Revives
      
    • Total Mission Wins
      
    • Kill/Death Ratio
      
    • Win/Loss Ratio
      
    • Favorite Class (most hours played)
      
    • Favorite Weapon (most kills earned)
      
    • Favorite Game Mode (most hours played)
  • This information will be viewable by selecting the Stats tab on the Profile screen and will be categorized by Mission, Kills, and Weapons. The data can be filtered by Game Mode and Classes.
    
  • More game stats may be added as new features, modes, and content are introduced.

Gameplay

• Reduced self-damage of Twin Machine Gun Emplacement to now allow for about 35 seconds of sustained firing while not being repaired.
  
  • Developer Note: This allows the TMG to be more useful in Horde Mode where repairing is limited.
• Updated Trooper health regeneration for all mission difficulty levels.
  
  • Troopers will regain health at a higher rate on Easy Difficulty.
    
  • Troopers will regain health on Normal Difficulty.
    
  • Troopers will not regain health on Hard Difficulty.
• Canisters can now be thrown by holding down the fire button while they’re equipped.
  
• Pyre will now call out which cardinal direction (north, south, east, west) a base is being attacked from.

Base Building

• Reduced Twin Machine Gun Emplacement cost to 2000 ore.
  
  • Developer Note: This cost reduction accounts for the fact that the TMG is destroyed when placed on top of a structure that’s destroyed. Also, unlike Sentry Guns, the TMG requires a player to actively use and repair it.
• Increased the Build Tool’s unbuild speed to half of build speed.
  
  • Developer Note: We’ll continue to monitor for misuse of this function to sabotage base integrity and adjust accordingly.
• Updated the Build Tool interface to be more consistent and less confusing.

Quality of Life Improvements & Bug Fixes

• Set the frame rate to cap at 120 FPS by default. This can be adjusted in the Settings.
  
• Added Mission Mutators to the After Action Report (AAR) screen.
  
• Intro cutscenes now pause on the last frame until the voiceover is complete instead of going to a black screen. Also decreased the audio volume of the intro cutscene.
  
• Updated the in-game Discord link to point to our custom URL: https://discord.com/invite/starshiptroopersgame
  
• Renamed “New Mission in” to “New Mutators in” on the main screen.
  
• Fixed an issue with the Low Gravity Mutator where jumping could cause visual stuttering when reaching the maximum height of the jump.
  
• Fixed an issue with the Grenade Surplus Mutator where players would spawn in with only one grenade and must throw it to begin the restock timer.
  
• Fixed an issue where the Twin Machine Gun Emplacement wouldn’t respond to the Build Tool when it was pointed at the top of the turret.
  
• Fixed an issue where entering and exiting the Twin Machine Gun Emplacement could cause the Low Gravity Mutator to cease functioning.
  
• Fixed an issue where a player could get in a stuck state and unable to play after leaving a party.
  
• Fixed an issue where the respawn interface could become visible for a short time when first joining a match.
  
• Fixed an issue where the respawn interface could become visible before the player dies after beginning the bleed-out state.
  
• Fixed an issue where FOV scaling would break on ultrawide monitors.

Fixed a bug where DLC weapons could be used without purchasing the DLC
