We have huge news: We have sent out Keys to Wave 3 of our Kickstarter Backers! This is the biggest wave yet, and we can't wait to show Lahaina's freshest faces everything we've added to the game!
We'll host some "Welcome To Maui" and other special sessions to go over the basics and answer any questions new players might have. Waves 1 and 2 were a huge help with finding bugs and improving the game. With the help of this next wave, we plan on having the servers ready for even more players to explore and survive in our version of Maui.
Here's everything we've improved.
Quest Improvements
We've fixed a bunch of bugs keeping players from finishing or turning in quests, improved the UI, and made the text descriptions of each quest easier to read and understand.
Veil Travel Updates
We updated how Veil Travel Works, making it smoother and fixed a nasty bug that could make the travel button get stuck in a disabled state, leaving you stranded in an alternate world.
Siege Improvements
We fixed some totem bugs related to sieges, improved how mutant ranged attacks work, and resolved bugs that would cause mutants to get stuck or spawn on top of players. We improved some siege mechanics and vastly improved AI pathing around bases under siege.
