Patch 0.4.0 Early Access


Welcome back Virballers! We're almost at the finish line, but we've got one more major update for you while you wait!

Update 0.4.0 brings you a few new cool things to play with so let's get to the patch notes.




- Unlocking the Electric Core, means that you have new Virballs combinations.

• Mine
  
• Thunder
  
• Gravity
  
• Laser
  
• Lightning

Jambito, Everfin, and Merrock have been populated with this new item. Find the relics and you will be able to use them to buy new skins for Orb!

• Added a pop-up visual for relic collection.
  
• We've added a tutorial to show you how to find them and spend them.
  
• We've added a shop UI that shows you the cool skins that our art team has created for Orb.
  
• Added UI to the Skins menu which will show you how many relics you've collected.

It was hard to collect all of the atoms before as some atoms were located in impossible to reach areas. We completed a pass and balanced that difficulty. Happy Hunting!

• Fixed a bug that made it difficult to grab Virballs
  
• We optimized several environmental tiles that were creating a laggy playing experience. Your game should run more smoothly now.
  
• One of our Bosses (Not naming any names, Octoclaw...) wasn't allowing you to complete the fight, so we fixed that. You should be able to complete that level now.

That's all we have for now, friends. Have fun with the new content and if you find any bugs or even something you love, let us know on our Discord server!

Fixed a bug preventing new Adventurers from being created

A 35% discount on Rise of Gun is currently active, but only until February 3.

I am actively working on the next major update, which is already available for testing in the beta branch. You can try out new features in advance and help me with the final improvements.

Thank you for your feedback. It helps other players decide if they will enjoy the game and gives me motivation to continue development.

After this update is released, the game's price will increase slightly, but there will also be some minor fixes and additions.

If the historical mode receives positive feedback and player activity remains high, I will try to start working on new DLC for Rise of Gun.

Thank you for your support.

What's up, dashing slashers?

Our second post-launch patch includes a new NPC that adds variety to the start of each run, quality of life improvements for those using keyboard shortcuts, and balance fixes such as more enemy attack telegraphs and temporarily invulnerability after entering a room.

Here are the specific changes:

Major

• Added a shady new character, SCAVENGER JOE, who offers you (ethically sourced) cards from your previous run at the beginning of a new run. Unlock him by defeating Sinister Dexter for the first time

Quality of life

• If no card is selected, the keyboard shortcuts to cycle left or right will now select the leftmost or rightmost card instead of needing to mouse over to select a new card

Balance

• Added minor visual cues for Lobefish and Locus attacks to make them easier to read
  
• Added 2 seconds of invulnerability after entering a new room to prevent instant destruction

Audio

• Adjusted volume of Sinister Dexter's voice

Here's hoping you pull a foil,
The Happy Accident Team

What a year 2024 was! Moo Deng, Murican Election, Blood Bears, Black Chin, and many more game events and epic bosses. Hope you had a great time. Now it's time for the next chapter as we prepare to fully launch our mobile version. In the mean time, we have a special x2 opw item drop rate for you to quickly get all your NY wishes. We also increased Rankink Challenge reward 6 times and decreased a lot of game difficulties.

Greetings, Auraxians! 

This month we have more details around our next big update, the Archaeotech. In today's letter we'll cover those details along with an update on the NA server merge. But first, we want to address the concerns around the recent EG7 announcement. 

We’re aware that recent news has sparked speculation around PlanetSide 2, and we want to assure you that the development team at Toadman working on the game remains unchanged and will continue to work on the project with the same passion and dedication. 

In the next two weeks, we’ll release an update on PTS with some tunings for the fishing feature along with changes to the Assault Facility/Mode based on your feedback. As before, we’ll maintain our regular schedule with monthly updates for the live server, bringing you fresh content, fixes, and exciting changes. 

Your trust and support are our main motivation, and we’re committed to ensuring the game continues to bring you joy and positive experiences. 

We understand that you’re eagerly awaiting the merging of NA servers. We’re aiming to complete this process in the next 2-3 months. However, based on our experience with merging European servers, we want to avoid issues like crashes, performance drops, and long queues. 

Our team is actively working to resolve these challenges to ensure a smooth experience. The servers will only be merged once we're confident that it won’t cause any further inconvenience to you. 

We would like to thank all players for their valuable feedback on the Assault Facility. Throughout the month, we have been actively addressing the identified issues, redesigning some structures, and taking into account your comments regarding capture points being taken too quickly. As a result, we’ve made balance adjustments to improve the gameplay experience. Over the next two weeks, we will showcase all the changes in the new version on the PTS server. Once again, thank you for testing and providing detailed feedback— this helps us make the game better for all players! 

We’re excited to talk more about Archaeotech—a new, alien technology coming to PlanetSide 2. This technology, recently uncovered from an ancient civilization, is rumored to be of a rival race to the Vanu (not to be mistaken for the Vanu Sovereignty). Archaeotech gear will have a unique and striking appearance themed around parasitic biotechnology. It brings new capabilities that set it apart from existing content, making its introduction an exciting moment in the PlanetSide 2's evolution. 

Starting in 2025, Archaeotech will gradually appear in the game, starting with the Stryder, a biomechanical, crustacean-inspired vehicle. 

This will be an ongoing process, so expect new updates and surprises throughout the year! 

Alien, Corrupting, and Uneasy—these three words will guide the visual design of Archaeotech. It’s not just about new tech; it's about making those who engage with it feel the alien and dangerous allure of interacting with something ancient and otherworldly. Due to the parasitic nature of Archaeotech, you can expect to see cosmetics of already existing weapons and gear infected with the organism. 


Archaeotech will feature designs that communicate alien, corrupting, and uneasy qualities: 

Alien: Expect strange, otherworldly forms that defy traditional design. The tech will appear alive, with unpredictable structure, suggesting a civilization beyond human comprehension. 

Corrupting: Archaeotech will blend biological and mechanical elements, featuring fleshy, sinewy, or organic growths that give it a living, almost sentient feel. It’s powerful, but unnervingly so. This will affect each faction in a unique way (including NSO). 

Unease: It will evoke the sensation of touching something dangerous and alien, with dark tones and glowing accents to highlight its mysterious power. 


This new visual style will create a sense of foreboding, drawing attention into the mystery of the technology. 

The primary goal of Archaeotech weaponry is to introduce a new, visually striking weapon that aligns with the theme while integrating seamlessly into existing gameplay. This will introduce unique mechanics and features that offer new tactical and strategic opportunities. The weapon mechanics include a mixture of energy-based fire, utilizing heat management systems, as well as biologically enhanced kinetic rounds. Additionally, these weapons will come with their own unique attachments. Players will have to earn the use of these weapons as Archaeotech terminals will be linked to specific facilities across Auraxis, much like the Stryder and its link to the Assault Facility. 

Archaeotech will not be an instant update, but rather a gradual evolution of the game over time. Over the course of the year, new elements of Archaeotech will be released, expanding on its visual and gameplay aspects. This will include new vehicles, weapons, and features, all tied to a larger mystery and evolving narrative. 

Expect Archaeotech to slowly be integrated into the world of PlanetSide 2, with each update revealing more about its alien origins and the dangers it brings. 

Archaeotech represents an exciting new direction for PlanetSide 2. It brings with it a feeling of mystery, corruption, and alien power—all elements that will make gameplay feel fresh and immersive. Over the course of 2025, we will continue to unveil new aspects of this mysterious technology, each adding new layers of intrigue and complexity to the game. 

Stay tuned for more updates as this strange, otherworldly force begins to make its presence known on Auraxis! 

See you on the front lines, 

The PlanetSide 2 Team
