Another week of further game development has ended and the Closed Alpha environment got updated once more. The team has been working on several larger tasks that are needed to open the game soon. Today’s changelog shows you all new features and changes that were ready to go live this week. Among others, the rewards of six missions have been increased and the standard update day has been changed to Wednesdays.
Updates Now on Wednesdays
An organizational detail: The standard day for game updates is now Wednesday. As usual, we will inform you via global message directly in the game about any upcoming downtime, and as you know, sometimes plans need to be adapted. We always try to do it on Wednesdays, but in case a change is needed, you can always rely on the in-game message.
Mission System
