July 7, 2024 War Room, Release, Bugfix
I’ve finished the war room in the prison complex. It is accessible through the compilation core. It contains emitters displaying all active raids in your current zone. Currently, it serves as a visual representation. I plan to add more meta information to those emitters. The goal is to enable joining or applying to raids from this room. I had time for some bug-fixes. # The third stage of Sludge Madness is now accessible. ...

June 2, 2024 Buried Entrance, Release, Live
I could not decide whether to release the content directly to the live servers. Then, I discovered a nasty bug on the live systems and decided to take two steps forward. So, I released the raid to live. You might remember the old Pit of Elements and Firebound Forge level. They got a complete overhaul. Both are now part of the same raid Run of Elements. I’ve also added a new level right between them called Buried Entrance. ...

April 28, 2024 Sludge Madness, Live, Release, Escape Attempt
Today I can finally release the pending changes on the live servers. The primary changes are the new avatar compilation and the ongoing raid rework. The raid rework isn’t finished. Yet I couldn’t find a reason to further delay the live update. For this release, I re-enabled the Escape Attempt raid. It is a two-stage encounter with fights in the perimeter, and the final in the gateway. In the perimeter you will fight the Custodian. ...
April 21, 2024 Sludge Madness, Live, Release
It took the whole week to finish the lightning for the three levels. There is a tiny parameter: Pushoff on the Lightmap Parameter Asset. This parameter solved all issues with black stripes on the light-maps. I will gradually rework all available raids. In this first release, only Sludge Madness is playable. Sludge Madness is a 3-stage raid. # You start with the well-known encounter. It derives from the initial Sludge Madness raid. ...
