CENTRAL ISLANDS V2

We are particularly interested in featured plants that take advantage of our new hub islands: V2 flat grid hub and V2 floating island hub. These two new plants include simpler and clearer areas, perfect for navigation, with a single construction guide for heights and roads to portal areas. 

Since the build guide takes up some of the space in Creative mode, we've increased the build volume on these islands to 71x71 (up from 67x67 previously). We can't wait to see your new welcome centerpiece creations!

Notice: We will add an additional welcome hub update in the future to align the featured portals settings, but first we want to see how the new V2 hub creations work.

WELCOME CENTRAL UPDATES

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT BETA PHASES:

What is the goal of the beta phase program?

As we strive to develop exciting new features for creators, we want to ensure that the more technically challenging and impactful features are properly tested in a live environment without significantly impacting the service. . One way to do this is to publish these functionalities and choose a very small number of users to test them and send us reports. Error reports and user impressions help us to resolve the most serious errors, improve the user experience, and know what to expect when the functionality is published.

What kind of functionality will go through a beta phase instead of being released directly?

Those that have a higher technical complexity or require a significant number of user reports before publication.

Will all functionalities go through beta phase before being published?

No, only those that, due to their complexity, require reports and user impressions will go through the beta phase.

How long will the beta phase last for each feature?

Our intention is that as little as possible. We cannot accurately predict how long they will need to be in beta, and a specific feature may not be released after testing or if it has had to be significantly changed. 

Can I join the beta program?

We have purposely selected a very small number of users. The goal is to help our team with very specific testing tasks and to send us specific reports on the functionalities they test. We want to keep the number of users testing features to a minimum to reduce the potential impact on the service or any inconvenience for the majority of players. Therefore, we are not currently accepting applications to be part of the beta phases.

"Recruits, I come to brief you once again on the status of the effects of our crowd control.

We remind you that hero skills and weapons no longer add to the crowd control counter mentioned in the last report. The only thing that affects the counter is the Trap Control effects. This is where the changes come in, recruits. Five Trap Control Effects can still render Husks immune. But, if they are not hit by a control effect for at least 30 seconds, the counter will reset to zero. It's the perfect time to send them back through your tunnels!
