We will be performing unscheduled server maintenance in the EU, NA and SEA regions:
Dec 31, 1969 @ 4:00pm
08:00 - 12:00 (CET); AM 02:00 - AM 06:00 (EST); PM 14:00 - PM 18:00 (GMT +8).
Schedules may change due to unexpected problems.
STALCRAFT: X servers will be unavailable during maintenance. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and we thank you in advance for your understanding and patience.
The chat line has 2 icons. The first will show/hide the chat window (same as pressing "C"). The second toggles between showing all messages, only important messages and only player chat.
When you re-roll an aura, you won't get the same one for 2 successive rolls. This makes it a little easier to get the aura you want.
The Fire Serpents damage has been increased by 100%.
When it's initial target dies, the water sprite, boomerangs and familiar now returns to the player instead of disappearing. This means they do a lot more damage, especially if the player runs through enemies.
Enemy drops and harvested drops will now bounce when they appear.
The second map, Field Crossing, has a "cloud shadows" effect.
When clicking on a mission, the name was not correct.

Last week we debuted a brand new dev diary for Ara: History Untold! Come explore Ara's complex government system with GamerZakh and Gabriela Leskur as they discuss how it affects long-term planning, trade, conflict, and the pursuit of prestige.
Gabriela explained that players start with a fundamental form of governance known as a chiefdom, which offers the framework required for early development, including overseeing several cities and feeding an expanding populace. Research will allow you to unlock increasingly complex systems of government as your civilization develops, reflecting the philosophical and historical developments of different nations.
There are many different kinds of governments in Ara, and each offers its own advantages and policies to your citizens. Gabriela gave examples like Theocracy, which provides substantial religious buffs, and Empire, which permits extensive city control and economic benefits. Every type of government affects a player's strategy in different ways by offering different tax levels, imposing city limits, and providing intrinsic bonuses.
Moreover, the traits of leaders in Ara can synergize with specific government types. For instance, leaders with the Independent trait have higher populations in their non-capital cities, making them well-suited for governments that favor widespread territorial control.
We also touched on narrative events that tie into government choices, revealing how citizens may react to tax adjustments and other changes. Government improvements play a crucial role too, with options ranging from City Halls to Water Treatment Facilities, each providing unique buffs when strategically placed within your city’s central region.
For players looking to maximize their government impact early on, Gabriela suggested researching new governments that increase city caps and tweaking policies to suit their evolving needs. Some governments like Theocracy can be accessed early on and provide substantial bonuses for those aiming to expand their religious influence.
For more info on Ara’s government system, be sure to watch the full episode on our YouTube channel. Don't forget to subscribe for more content, join our Insider Program, and wishlist Ara: History Untold ahead of its release on September 24th, 2024!
