This past week I took a bit of a break from class rebalance content, so this week’s update will focus on some pretty big bug fixes, new transwarp content and an introduction to a new bit of content I am working on. Keep reading to find out more!
Firstly, bug fixing! Two major issues with transwarp devices has been located and fixed. People were reporting they couldn’t see some destinations on their list for Temporary and Team beacons. After a lot of painful debugging I finally tracked it down to an issue where the beacon is in an unexplored galaxy. I’ve made a client update so if your client doesn’t have the galaxy record for the galaxy the beacon resides in, it’ll still display the beacon in the list, but under “Beacon Inaccessible / Unexplored.” Since the client only keeps a list of the galaxies you’ve been too, we can’t give the name of the galaxy the beacon is in, but at least this way you know the beacon exists. You can then ask your squad, team, etc, where it is so you can get it fully added to your list properly.Secondly, the bug where Team and Temporary beacons were going missing from the destinations list on server crashes has been located and fixed. There was an issue where the beacons weren’t being properly flagged as temporary or team beacons when they were being saved, so when the server would reload, it would skip all the code to re-add the beacons to the list. Both these fixes will be in the next patch.
Secondly, I have a Transwarp content update! I’ve changed the mission for Tech 20 Transwarp devices to be Premium only, as Free-to-Play players can’t use the device. This will only affect the Tech 20 version of the device, the rest will still be accessible for Free-to-Play. I’ve also gone ahead and made a repeatable variant of the mission for each device from Blue Photon. In the next patch I’ll enable these missions and you’ll be able to get duplicate devices for each of your ships. This should be good news, no more waiting for the cooldown when you swap ships!
Finally, as you may have noticed, the past few weeks (including this week) I’ve been posting some ‘golden’ images. This was a not-so-subtle way of saying I’ve restarted work on a long dormant content project I started a few years ago call the ‘Trials of adum.’ This will be a new instance containing a new Tech 22 boss for players to fight and ultimately rewarding a new Tech 22 Hauler, the Divine Behemoth, among other Tech 22 items.
The instance is a new multi-part one utilizing some new features we’ve added over the last few months. It contains a single player section and a squad section. In the single-player section of the instance, one player, and one player alone, will have to complete the ‘Trials of the Golden Path.’ Passing these three tests will reward the player a key they can use to give their squad access a new boss, the ‘High Prophet.’ Expect to see this in game at the latest, the next universe, earlier if I can add it without a reset.
So, that’s it for this week’s update. As always, feel free to post questions and comments in the automagically generated forum post!
