Hello everyone!

We will be bringing both EU and US servers down today to apply a new patch. The servers should go down at 12:00 (UTC+1) and should be back up in 2 hours. Keep in mind that this patch is not our usual hotfix and will be much bigger.

Edit: Servers are back online.

Edit 2: We've identified the issue with the verfication server. A tiny update was just released (less than 1mb). Sorry for the inconvenience.

Challenges

• Solo challenges have been introduced. Every challenge in the game can now be completed without a group.
• Completing challenges now awards loot boxes (depending on the performance of the group / solo player). The loot boxes award schematics but also have a small chance to contain a consumable from the in-game shop.
• Three new challenges have been added - Metal Oblivion, Fatecross and Research Facility.
• The difficulty of all challenges have been adjusted.
• Multiple challenges had their size reduced.

Dungeons

• Completing dungeons now awards a loot box. The loot box contains schematics unique to the dungeon completed as well as a small chance to award a consumable from the in-game shop.

Group finder

• The group finder has been optimized from the server side and now works a lot smoother.

Quests

• Players are no longer able to attack Fredericks in "More, bigger issues".
• Steelrage should no longer attack other NPC's in "Burning rage".
• The follow behavior issues in "Smelly humi" have been fixed.

• Several deprecated quests have disappeared from the game and are no longer available.
• Multiple escort quests had their scripts tweaked.

Shop

• Costume bundles have been added to the in-game shop.

Miscellaneous

• The cutscene when arriving in the Secluded Village should now play correctly.
• Area Quest loot boxes now have correct names and loot tables.
• Multiple issues appearing on the server side of the game have been fixed.

Maps

• The Fire Isle portal has been replaced with a correct model.
• The Dumps in 8Squared received a major material overhaul.
• Players can no longer fall out of the Clan Land map.
• Multiple client warnings have been removed and should no longer appear on screen.
• Minor asset placement issues have been fixed on 8Squared and Mars.
