Greetings participants,

It's been three years and I can't believe I'm finally releasing Crossedland to the world (in early access at least). I'm incredibly excited and incredibly nervous. I hope you all love it as much as I loved working on it (and still love working on it, I'm obsessed, send help).

I look forward to seeing you all in Crossedland and would love to hear any and all suggestions for Crossedland on Discord. You can join by follow this link: https://discord.com/invite/Wny7ftxmwv

Without further ado, here are the most recent patch notes for a hefty patch:

Arenas:
• New arena type. Scavenger Hunt. It will function similarly to the gathering arenas with the same time penalties, however, there will be a random item to find in the arena.

• Added three new time penalties to the arena. Stalker, Eraser, and Orbital Assault
• Gravity anomalies and meteor showers can now occur in tier 1 arenas, too

Dear Heartbeat Guardians

4. Optimized the transition of some plot chapters;
5. Multiple language versions have been added, which can be set in the game's main function menu. Currently, only English switching is supported;

  (It's not a hard one, but I'd recommend joining the Error 259 Community Discord Server to talk with others and share any findings or to claim that you've solved it.)

Update #98 follows up on 2 major milestone releases - DOMINION and GO FAST - to continue to press forward on other areas of the game. Tonight's focus is on new enemies, improved enemy weapons and armors, new armor setup for enemy corporate captains and new varieties of reinforcement groups arriving across the faction lines.

Thanks to everyone posting F10s, posting feedback to the community and to everyone who left a review to push us up and over 300!

We're short on days but we still have a busy June ahead of us as we try to close out our (self-inflicted) challenge to close all these major milestones by the end of the month. To be honest, we've already hit 4 milestones which is crazy and we should be able to get #5 but the other 2 are going to slip into July by a few days to a week.



Two new enemy types have been added, both armed with portable nano-capsules capable of releasing small fields of nanites that can form up to affect an incoming bullet just enough to alter its course from a hit to a miss. At the street and gang level, these Benders are cruder in their art, but the trained corporate Divergents boast a hi-tech and more expensive kit and are capable of putting up bigger Evasion buffs more often.

We're super excited to get on the track here of adding new enemies of all sorts - with new abilities, weapons and special moves. This is a great time for the enemy catalog to go from woefully shallow to something deep and much more exciting.

If an enemy uses an debuff against your team or a buff on their team, we've improved the VFX for these rarer and important events to be constant. They are light visual touches but they should help draw attention to the buff/debuff and can help prompt you to check the status pop up for the character or enemy to learn more about the specific effect in play.


We've continued to press this week on better progression across the board for the enemies in all factions. We've rolled out upgraded armor and weapons for a number of enemies as they scale into higher Power Levels and most notably, corporate Captains can now get armor as high as 3 Protection Points, making them significantly harder targets to take down, especially in Kill 3 missions.

Also, we've rebuilt some of the reinforcement groups that can be rolled for different factions, so expect to see a more varied response teams, mixing the new enemy types, some snipers and other enemies in where they didn't previously appear.


In prep for the next major milestone of New Game V2 (Knight Creator) we've improved some of the effects of Attributes. You now gain +2% Dmg to Drones per point of Tech and +1% Dumpshock Res per Will instead of +1% to every 2 Will. Small changes, but helping to bring the Attributes into a tighter balance.

A number of Contact and merc Traits got a lift with this update. Thanks to everyone reporting issues with Traits via F10 and for the balancing suggestions as well.

• Merc Traits Grit, Scrappy, Bouncer and Bull-Built all now give nicer HP bonuses
  
• Contact Trait Detailed Oriented has gained bonus for buying Files and big Exposure Res bonus
  
• Contact Trait Calculating has been reclassified as a positive Trait
  
• Fixed bugs in progression with the MilSec Merch Trait

If you modified your custom difficulty setting to apply a -1 to the designed rate of Security Tally this did work except if the Security Tally was +1, in which case it was ignored. That was some silly nonsense which we have now fixed, it is always -1 unless it would force the Sec Tally negative and then time would start going backwards or something.

- Improved enemy buffs and debuffs to more commonly have a constant VFX so they are more noticeable
- New type of street and corporate enemy - Benders and Divergents
- Benders / Divergents employ fast moving and flanking tactics, start with bonus Evasion and can buff for even more
- Improved armor and weapon progression on corporate captains - now boasting 1-3 Armor Points
- Rebuilt some corp, syndicate and street reinforcement groups to have more exciting variations
- Improved Attribute effects - now +2% Drone Dmg per Tech (up from +1%) and +1% Dumpshock Res per Will (up from 0.5%)
- Improved merc Traits Grit, Scrappy, Bouncer and Bull-Built to have better HP bonuses
- Fixed issue with Security Tally modifier in Difficulty; when set to -1 will now set level with +1 to +0/Turn correctly
- Improved Detail Oriented Trait to have bonuses to buying Files and big Exposure Res bonuses
- Reclassified Contact Trait "Calculating" as a low positive Trait
- Fixed issues with progression in Contact Trait "Milsec Merch"

Dear Hatsune Miku fans,

We are happy to release a minor update today.

The following have been fixed in this update:
- Fix to Gamepad and Keyboard settings conflicting

Cheers.

Improvements in minimap
Added new songs
Better Capture Points interaction, now when captured 5 points game ends
In 3 points conquest game mode, when captured 3 points the countdown accelerates

This patch update addresses the login problems that have been highlighted on by recent reviews and posts regarding the login system

Updated Login
This new update allows you to pick between local steam login, and hood warfare account login upon first opening Hood Warfare.

New users can log in with the local steam method to avoid having to create an account.
Old users can log in via the Hood Warfare account method and keep all of their progress.

Both login methods feature leveling and stats for kills, death, KDR. Users can switch between the Hood Warfare account and Local Steam profile account on the main menu via the logout button.

Prior to this update this was only able to be done by changing the version to the "nologin" version in steam settings, but now the local login works without needing to do this.

This update also brings bug fixes and quality of life improvements such as:

• Updated menu
  
• Updated loadout selection character
  
• Doors now show on abandoned school multiplayer map
  
• Drive-Bys cost 5 kills instead of 3.
  
• Text on drive by unlock showing the key to activate it
  
• And many others.

Content Coming Soon...Although there hasn't been many updates in the past few months, a major update featuring a new map and weapons will be coming soon.
