Hey ArkCoNauts!

This evening we hit some technical difficulties while getting ready to push the patch, so we made a tough decision, and we're going to hold it till Monday. Giving ourselves that extra time this weekend will allow us to cram even more into the update, and round things out better before it goes out. On the bright side, those who haven't had a chance to pack up all their favorite items and stick them on characters will have more time to do so in advance of the wipe. We'll be setting the timer accordingly, and if anything the patch will be even more worth the wait. Thanks for your patience and understanding guys, and stay awesome!

As I mentioned in the previous announcement, we’re planning to update the Beta on a weekly basis until the third chapter is completed, then we’ll go back to monthly updates until the game is out. So, week 1...

• Added the Aurelian Praetor questline
  
• Added the ‘Hangar’ (to unlock talk to the cartographer Domitius sent you to)
  
• Added the power armor quest (at the moment the quest is available to all regardless of whether or not you got the quest in Maadoran)
  
• Added a new NPC near the ‘pillar of skulls’
  
• Added tooltips for the attacks
  
• Added traits descriptions
  
• Fixed various scripting issues and bugs (antidote should be working as advertised now)
  
• Fixed journal crashes (hopefully for good, but if you do get one, let us know and describe the steps to reproduce)
  
• Added filler NPCs to Lowtown in Ganezzar
  
• Made visual improvements

• Daratan Praetor questline
  
• *Possibly* Crassus Praetor questline (there is a lot of stuff there so we might push it to week 3)
  
• new quests
  
• new NPCs
  
• Improved Ganezzar (art, filler NPCs, text descriptions)
  
• Various design improvements and fixes

It’s working but it’s still rough around the edges. There are 3 modes plus an optional 4th mode. Right click on the armor’s icon in the inventory to interact with it. Once it’s charged, you’ll be able to go through the different modes the same way you go through different attacks. There are no tooltips yet to explain what does what, but they are coming. Play with it (keep in mind it’s work in progress and the very first iteration of the armor), then post your thoughts and suggestions. As usual, we’ll go through them and improve the design with your help.

As always, thank you for your support.

Hello!

If you're interested in testing out this patch head on over to the Preview branch! You can gain access using the secret passcode "OPERATIONMAPLELEAF" in the Betas tab.

Additions:

• Added new item and zombie spawning system to garuntee that they always spawn a consistent amount. On multiplayer this also makes sure that items respawn priority is based on which areas are most heavily looted.
  
• Added grocer clothing (IDs 314-315) and applied to the grocer zombies.
  
• Added ability to look up while climbing.
  
• Added ladder to oil sands radio tower and radio tower near Saskatchewan.
  
• Added docks to the two islands.
  
• Added foreclosure command to remove old player savedata from servers.

Improvements:

• Guns swap to sprint state when in safety mode.
  
• Improved shadowstalker audio.

Tweaks:

• Guns no longer spawn with the safety on.
  
• Decreased zoom on shadowstalker scope and increased damage versus all targets.
  
• Increased loot density.
  
• Increased contrast of midday lighting due to popular request. (Is this better? Let me know.)

Fixes:

• Fixed air traffic control tower missing navigation data.
  
• Fixed default map Devtest set to Canada.
  
• Fixed naked militia zombies.
  
• Fixed swapping firemodes while aiming.
  
• Fixed snow at top of lighthouse.
  
• Fixed asset refresh delegate getting assigned multiple times.
  
• Fixed some very misaligned roads.
  
• Fixed climbing RCMP towers.
  
• Fixed structure wall detect radius.
  
• Fixed some underground player spawns.
  
• Fixed bridges higher than roads.
  
• Fixed selected level index changing without updating the text.
  
• Fixed road height in Ontario.
  
• Fixed punching animations not cancelling other gestures.
  
• Fixed floating roads.
  
• Fixed hockey tree in the Yukon.
  
• Fixed broken editor map selection.

Really happy to see that for the most part feedback on the Canada map is positive aside from that the buildings need furnishing and more loot! :)

Thanks for reading!
