April - Version 0.7.0. Territory capture.

Implanters and neovitals will face up to the necessity of territory capture to control the maximum area of the game universe. The main reason for this will be bonuses they get from the territories: from the automatic defense perimeter-controlled zone, to a quite tangible bonuses from the special objects that have fallen under the faction’s control.

April - Version 0.7.5. World Map.

World map, finally, will help comfortably navigate the world of Arkon. Running missions will be significantly easier thanks to the mission goals markers shown on the map.

May - Version 0.8.0. Items Modification.

There will be an opportunity to surpass the limits of standard models of weapons!

The modification will make possible to add new properties or improve the existing characteristics of armor and weapons.

1. Implemented Combat Party mode

• There cannot be more than 6 members in a party
• If the party is full, all the combatants will get 50% more experience.
• In Combat Party mode the condition of all members can be seen. The experience gain when NPC killing is allocated equally between all members of the group.
• The loot gathered in Combat Party mode is divided at random between all members not depending on who tried to take it first (later we’ll make different modes of the loot sharing).
• Implement a target binding and loot binding. Now those who attack first will have bonuses (experience, loot, progress in a mission) from NPC killing. Binding common NPC lasts 1 minute since the last strike, and the bosses binding lasts 5 minutes.
• Fixed several minor bugs.

Gameplay

1. Added stun effects to the tank and scout classes’ skills.
2. Complex Arciss in now available to players of level 20 and higher. Neovitals can get to the Complex Arciss using the teleport, which is next to it. Implanters are able to get there using the teleport in Avalanche.
3. Launched the first part of the epic mission for neovitals - "Betrayal of Stellargone" and for implanters - "Attack on Arciss”.
4. Reduced recovery time for using a small medical controller.
5. In Arciss rare weapons and armor for both races can be dropped.
6. Increased accuracy of ranged weapons.
7. Agility parameter will affect the character’s running speed.
8. Fixed some problems in missions.

 Graphics

1. Displaying of players’ characters will now look the same at low and high quality of materials settings.
2. New animations for the female characters (standing empty-handed).
3. The work on improving locations is under way.
   

Sound

1. New soundtrack when entering the world (character choice zone) for neovitals.

 The familiar bugs

1. Sometimes the numbers showing the effect of damage may hangin the air.
2. NPC stun doesn’t work.
3. There are slopes, where one can’t raise in a normal way. Temporary solution - to climb using the jump.
4. The work on the Neovitals race start locations – the Arciss complex – is not yet completed, that is why there can be the visual artifacts at the location buildings.
5. The first leap after the game start sometimes can cause game freeze.
6. At the Arciss complex location elevators and lifts temporarily don’t work.
7. Occasionally the disappearance of the interface takes place (the only known “cure” for this – to restart the game).
8. Some characters can have artifacts when displaying on ATI video cards series x1600-x1950.
9. Some places of the world may have overexposed or underexposed materials.
10. A bunch of other errors.

In the real world price of certain product type depends on various indicators but demand and supply in our opinion are the main. I.e. if there is a product and there are those who are ready to buy it than product price will depend on demand and supply for it and on the quantity of products sellers have.

As a result the following situations are possible:

1. Product is in surplus supply while there is a lack of demand – sellers reduce the price trying to rise demand (to liquidate demand deficit).

2. Product quantity and demand for it are in balance – system is in equilibrium and there are no reasons to reduce or to raise the price.

3. There is a lack of the product while there are buyers as plenty as blackberries – here is very important to raise the price of the product in order to diminish the excess demand but at the same time to increase the profit.

That is concerning why it was desired to make prices dynamic changeable.

And now a few words about how it works. Actually, it is approximately like it theory - i.e. the less ksylenium is in storage the higher is the price of ksylenium but at the same time the higher is the purchasing price of ksylenium  dust (supplementing resource of storage). And vice-versa, the more ksylenium is in storage the less is its price and the less is selling price of ksylenium dust.

In this way the system was implemented before 0.4.1 version and in 0.4.1 everything is implemented by analogy. Where is the difference? The difference is in law of price change. Previously it was more realistic (i.e. non-linear). But owing to particularity of the game the law of change like this one turned out to be rather difficult balanced and that’s why we had to choose rather simplified version videlicet linear law of price change. Now to run the system to extremity is not so worth-while for gamer that’s why we expect more stability of situation with ksylenium price.

To put in simpler words, there will be no possibility to gain millions during the short period of time but at the same time it will be possible to speculate on ksylenium price.

Hope, it became clearer now. :)

1. Implemented damage effects display on each character’s hit.
2. Implemented timeout when using the means of restoring health (cans), psychic energy, etc.
3. The target’s death animation is now performed after the target receives a fatal blow, but not at the moment of impact (as it was before).
4. Fixed the errors occurred in rare cases, when the system updates, not allowing to perform an upgrade from the first time.
5. Application of regenerative impulse (stimulants, treatments, etc.) in the process of auto-attack will not interrupt the state of attack and won’t cause other side effects.
6. The slider bar movement when applying special skills (collecting loot, etc.) has become smoother.
7. Fixed several minor bugs.

 Gameplay

1.  Changed the mechanism of price calculation on ksylenium and ksylenium dust (the price changing range will probably be corrected).
2. Substantially increased the sale price of the minor items in NPC stores, as well as the chance of receiving them as a drop from NPC of all levels.
3. Avalanche bosses can now drop items of IV (purple) and V (red) series.
4. Implemented dozens of googlix-missions which are obtained through the use of special devices – googlixes. Googlix - missions are terminated on completion automatically, and the reward for them is given instantly.
5. Introduced the first sets of collectible items that can be - what do you think? - collected! Collected items have not yet shown but that will be corrected in one of the future updates.
6. Fixed some problems in missions.
