Forest Service
While the forest has always been about platforming to the treetops, the terrain was a bit too flat. This update adds a lot more terrain variation and cover, improving combat in this area.
Now the bridges, tunnels, and cliffs give us more room to hide secrets and hacker stashes before launch.
Black Ice, Inc. Vault
Black Ice, Inc. added a vault to the forest. It's sealed for now but who knows what treasures are locked inside.
In addition to adding more places to jump during some Quarkus fights, this tree fort would be a fun place for some PVP.
0.9.218 - 1/25/25 Tree Fort
Majorly improved terrain in the Forest
Added the exterior of a Black Ice, Inc. Vault
There was a coolant spill in the Industrial area
New Powerup: Ouros (max) now randomly appearing in the world
New Affix: Double Draw Speed (Halves draw/holster time for all weapons. does not stack)
The Camera now always updates at the highest framerate possible, instead of during the physics step when the player moves, drastically increasing game smoothness at high framerates
Added a DPS tracker to the Perk Tryout area in the Arcade for all your testing needs
Shops now refresh as you open them, which means they'll give loot closer to your highest hacked level more often
New keyboard shortcut in the Talent Screen - Shift-Click to spend all talent points at once
The Encyclopedia now notifies you in the chat if you find a new Super Duper item
Weapons with Explosive projectiles now show their radius as an affix in their tooltip
Shortened time between enemy waves when there are many enemies in the queue, or all enemies are dead
Servers now spawn entire waves of enemies with a random affix instead of random individuals - especially the longer the hack takes.
Hostile Takeovers and Corporate Warfare will no longer happen between two servers of the same color, which should make it easier to tell who is who
Added more powerups and barrels in the Wasteland area
The Hack limit now always extends to encompass the entire height of the server
Fixed the 15-tile sliding puzzle in the Arcade (now moves with damage instead of clicks)
Two-way server links are no longer possible, preventing a rare crash
Exploding Barrels now leave behind a larger damaging area
Fixed the Recycle Bin in the volcano secret shop area
Fixed Unlock points disappearing on logout - this will restore any lost points
Updated the Airborne challenge to make various exploits impossible (including dying)
Fixed a bug which caused enemies spawning in to sometimes appear fully rezzed
Additional minor fixes and tweaks
Stay safe, hackers.
