Mining Quarry Changes
After observing gameplay over the last few seasons, we noticed that Mining Quarries have become a crucial part of Competitive gameplay, with clans relying on them quite heavily. We wanted to make changes to balance them better alongside PvP so that they're not the key feature in making a clan successful in the season.
As a result of this, we have removed the production of refined Titanium from Tier 1 and 2 Quarries, as well as reduced the amount produced in Tier 3 Quarries. We hope that this change will positively impact gameplay in the upcoming map, and pushing players to go out and raid more bases to gain points and loot.
Attachments
We're making a significant change to Attachments in this upcoming season, with the goal of creating new beneficial Attachments that will help players when in combat, instead of irritating players and preventing PvP altogether.
New Attachments are being added in the future, and will be more support-related during gun PvP, and not something that causes additional damage to other players. The attachments that are being removed are Blinding, Disarm, Bleeding, Firing, Slowness, and Explosive.
KoTH Kits
The current KoTH Kits meant that players would die a lot more quickly during PvP in this limited event, so we wanted to change the gear to allow a more elongated, intense PvP style event. KoTH events are meant to be a hard grind to become the King of The Hill, with the winner being well-deserving of the win, not a fleeting chance.
Airdrop Loot
The Airdrops that fall out of the sky attract a lot of PvP, with clans fighting to contest the drops and claiming the awesome loot. We know that this is an important feature on Outlands, and have reworked the loot pool to hold more valuable items than before. Keep an eye out in-game for the chat announcement, and check out the loot for yourselves!
Outposts
Due to popular demand, we have decided to re-implement the Outpost system back into Outlands!
Outposts will remain in the same locations as they were previously, in the Middle Biome and respective Caves. These Outposts will give certain buffs to clans when they are claimed, which will be extremely beneficial.
For Cave Outposts, you'll receive a 2x Resource and EXP buff, for the Middle Biome Outposts, you'll receive a 3x buff, with a small chance to gain a 7x buff.
Additional Information
- 72 hours of Grace Period.
- Tierlock period remains the same (cupboards as well).
- Tier 4 and 5 blocks will remain only obtainable through barrels.
- Fixed several issues and implemented different improvements during the last 3 weeks.
- Clan slots will remain the same - 4 slots, can be upgraded to 5.
- The Wire limit for each Tool Cupboard level has been increased.
- The number of points gained per kill will be raised.
Free PvP Kit
Right after the Friday’s Payout, at 6:00PM EST, any player on Outlands will be able to receive a PvP + Building kit for FREE as a thank you for playing on the server. This Kit will contain guns, equipment, blocks and also a few C4 explosives, so be sure to join and have some fun practicing your building, raiding & PvP skills for a few hours before the wipe! These kits will not be available after the wipe so use them while you can. You can expect to see some Outlands Staff Members there too!
