Planned balance tweaks. Mass testing
Hello! Today we are re-opening the test server so that everyone can try out the planned balance changes. And after testing, as usual, you can leave your feedback in a special thread. The main topic of today's test will be balance changes of guns. Let's go!
We remind you that all the new features described in the “Developer blog” are not final and may be changed before they are introduced into the game or may not make it into the game at all. You can study all the planned changes in detail on the special test server!
We'd like to note in advance that the hover changes remain the same this time, but we have taken into account your feedback from the previous test and plan to adjust them for the next test.
Cannon “Avenger 57mm”
Gunshot damage (damage upon contact with the part) increased by 15%.
Cannon “Judge 76mm”
Gunshot damage (damage upon contact with a part) increased by 10%.
Shotgun “Spitfire”
Optimal range increased from 20 to 50 m.
Shotgun “Rupture”
- Durability increased from 200 to 229 pts.
- Optimal range increased from 20 to 50 m.
Shotgun “Fafnir”
Durability increased from 273 to 300 pts.
Autocannon “AC50 Storm”
Damage reduced by 10%.
Autocannon “AC72 Whirlwind”
Damage reduced by 8%.
“Blockchain” plasma cutter
First of all, let's explain that with each shot from “Blockchain” 8 “shells” are launched in a dense group.
- Damage of each of the 8 shells increased by 160%. Why so much? See information about the weapon's perk below.
- Reloading time increased from 2 to 3.5 seconds.
- Changed the perk. Now the weapon partially ignores the transparency of parts and deals more damage to the parts that can be penetrated.
“Grenadier” drone
- Maximum speed reduced from 80 to 70 km/h.
- Drone durability reduced from 140 to 120 units.
Drone “Annihilator”
- Drone durability reduced from 100 to 60 units.
- Now during the attack, the drone changes its position once every 3 seconds. (previously — once every 2 seconds.)
How to get to the test server?
If you have ever participated in testing features on a special server, then just start the Launcher from the folder with the test client and wait for the update to complete.
- Create a new folder for the game on your hard drive.
- Download the Launcher from this link. The file name should not contain numbers indicating that the file is a duplicate. Please note that you should launch the file that does not contain any digits (1), (2), etc. in its name. If, when starting the installed launcher, you are logged into the live game servers, you need to delete all downloaded launchers from the download folder and try again.
- Start the Launcher and install the game into the folder you created (for example D:\Public test\Crossout).
- After the installation is complete, start the Launcher and log into the game with your username and password.
- The progress of your main account will be transferred to the test server (including parts in storage and levels of reputation with factions).
- After logging into the server, to transfer progress from your account, press the “Esc” key and select “Copy account data”.
- Please note the schedule of the test server:
- Friday, April 10, 2020 from 13:00 to 19:00 (GMT)
- Saturday, April 11, 2020 from 15:00 to 20:00 (GMT)
- Sunday, April 12, 2020 from 13:00 to 19:00 (GMT)
- Any progress you make on the test server will not be transferred to the live game servers (INCLUDING ATTEMPTS TO BUY PACKS).
After testing the changes, we invite you to leave your constructive feedback on the planned changes in THIS THREAD (it will open a bit later after the launch of the test server).
You can report all issues found on the test server here.
The public test server is intended only for testing of the upcoming update, and may not accommodate all players without exception. However, absolutely anyone can join the server, as long as there are free spots.
