[Developer blog] What awaits survivors in the foreseeable future?

[Woodyrojo 3,553]

Greetings to all the inhabitants of the Wasteland!

Life in Crossout never stands still, the year 2049 has already arrived, and this means that the time has come to share the plans for the further development of our beloved post-apocalyptic world.

And let's start with hovers. According to the results of mass testing, as well as thanks to the accumulated statistics and your feedback, we received a large amount of data to analyze about the changes in movement parts. At the moment we are preparing a new version of the key changes and we will share the details in a special news item.

We also plan to rework the current system of patches in the game. And we plan to update not only the list of patches and some tasks that must be performed to obtain them, but also add special challenges and rewards for them. Let's look at this in greater detail, because these changes are awaiting us soon. Along with the update of patches, special challenges will be added to the game. To complete each of them you will need to get certain patches. Each successfully completed challenge unlocks a specific reward. With the help of unlocked rewards, you can personalize the field where your portrait and nickname are displayed in the list of players. Moreover, you can both choose a background and add new elements to it (add a stamp and / or frame). In addition, opponents that you have destroyed will see not only your armored vehicle in observer mode, but also your unique emblem.

Updating the current patches and their inclusion in the mechanics of challenges with rewards will require resetting the current progress of the patches received. We remind you that at the moment the received patches do not provide any advantages and do not open up new opportunities for the player. And after their reset and the launch of challenges, you will be able to create an emblem that everyone will remember and associate with you!

Speaking of plans for the foreseeable future, it is impossible not to mention the planned rework of clan battles. In one of the upcoming updates, the format of battles in this mode will be replaced by the familiar “Best of 3”, where victory goes to the team that managed to win 2 battles with the opposing team. Not so long ago, we tested it in the “Squad Training” brawl and received a lot of positive feedback from our players asking them to keep this format in one of the permanent modes.

In addition to changing the format of clan battles, we plan to increase the number of prizes in the mode. Now, by the end of the week, even more clans will be able to get uranium ore, so necessary for the production of relic parts. The updated list of prizes and rewards for them at the moment is planned as follows:

• 1st place - 50 units of ore
• 2-10 places - 30 units of ore
• 11-30 places - 20 units of ore
• 31-60 places - 10 units of ore.

In the future, we also plan to implement league mechanics in clan battles. The more battles your clan wins, the more prestigious the league in which it will be, and the better the reward you can receive.

Not a single year in the Wasteland is complete without a visit from Sir Martin and his loyal knechte. And the year 2049 will not be an exception. Rumours spread quickly around the world of Crossout, and rumours from reliable sources have already told us that some armoured vehicles of the detachment are sporting cabins that have never been seen before! Looking forward to the knight riders!

In the newly emerged mode “Adventure” we are planning tweaks and improvements. First of all, we want to give everyone the opportunity to replay the storyline tasks “Awakening”. We also plan to increase the variety of additional tasks and implement several interesting innovations. But we will talk about this in future developer blogs and news.

We are working on the announced complex raid, which is intended to become the ultimate test for experienced players and tell us more about the history of the world of the Wasteland. Are you ready to take on the challenge in order to unravel the mysteries, find the creator of the Ravagers and get unique new parts? We will find out this year.

Harsh everyday life does not cancel the holidays beloved by many! We will see the return of the updated holiday modes and the themed “St' Valentine's Day” pack, as well as the emergence of new unique holiday rewards!

In addition to the above, we are also working on new maps for PvP battles, and we are preparing the rework of co-drivers and their skills announced earlier.

In addition, we will continue to adjust and refine the in-game balance and player matchmaking system. These are the tasks that require constant attention and are always among the highest priorities for our team. And, of course, the speedometer and the mode “Custom battle” will appear in the game!

This, of course, is far from all the game aspects to which we plan to pay attention. Often, some important tasks and new ideas appear during the year. Follow our news and developer blogs! We will share the latest news as official information becomes available.

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.

I spent 8 repair kits to get the Sansara sticker and you are going to reset it? uninstall!

Just joking, somehow sounds like a good plan : D

[Blasted_Off 1,536]

[ChopChopChop 1,882]

I do hope you guys able to keep all the plans in good timing manner. 

Thanks.

All I've wanted, ever since closed beta, has been P R I V A T E M A T C H E S....

And yeah I get that bedlam is kind of like that but I want to be able to change the map and etc...

Also yes I know that content creators can do something like it but I definitely am not and yet I'd still love to be able to do it 

I mean I've been vocal about it ever since around February 2018 and all I've heard is "soon""soon""soon""soon""soon""soon""soon""soon""soon""soon""soon""soon""soon""soon""soon""soon""soon""soon""soon""soon""soon""soon""soon""soon""soon""soon""soon""soon""soon""soon""soon""soon""soon""soon""soon""soon""soon""soon"

Great, nuff said,

These are very good news to me! Thank you for that teaser!

My opinions about some detail: The improveing of Adventure mode, is a pretty good plan. I really look forward to continuing of the story line

What is the most important for me now, is the Hover changes....yes....because those thing caused a lot of confrontation, and antipathy between the playerbase, and its a fact, i think.
Those inforamtion what you gather from test servers, maybe guarantee a massive improvements for the Hovers, and solve the problems. If you ask me, personally I like Hovers, because it was a very good NEW thing when its came in to Crossout World, and its meant something new...something special...but as everyones see, its bringed some problem with itself.

The new PvP map is a gloriously fantastic idea! Actually the wide-variety of PvP or PvE maps shows how cool is the environment of crosout, and makes our play more enjoyable.

About the Custom Game and Speedometer. HA! Genius! These things are requested for a long while, and now they are even closer than ever!  Little things, but important!

Thank you for everything

I really hope that co-drivers will be valuable, also will NOT require resources to upgrade as co-driver system is like skills or talents like in other games and it must be 100% FREE

Also if you're going to spread all premium equipment to factions as craftable items? if so - when? (steppe spider costs millions of credits and its non-craftable for eternity)

These notes sounds promising but players have lost trust in you. Hope its plan for near future - month or two, and not whole 2019...

*Psst!* 
*Remove hovers and compensate*

[Jafarson 283]

Clan clan clan clan.... Can we get also ranked system for SOLO players?

[hadrolet 192]

Great news! Hope all leagues will have less or more uranium rewards. (Edited.)

i love the changes going to come for clan wars 

[hadrolet 192]

Thx. Rpek, I did not found solid evidence. The first market signal was at 11:30 today (oh, we have different time, before ~2 h).

I wonder if we will see a new valentines pack. Or will it be the last years pink pack with the adjustable wheels?

[Robocraftman 4,151]

People are getting scared on Uranium

my inventory cost dropped 60K in 15 minutes XD

[lsabeIla 1,054]

Sounds pretty neat, looking forward to most of these. 
Do you have any plans for leviathans to have more use?

[Spedemix 6,136]

Looks promising!

 

Probably the biggest thing for me is the inclusion of top60 clans in CW to receive Uranium. It's also setup really smartly upon closer inspection.

 

• You see the overall amount of Uranium flooding to the market doubles per week so you have to presume the price of Uranium would eventually be cut to half in the market.
• Clans which are currently able to reach top30 will be receiving double the Uranium, thus their "income" stays ostensibly the same
• This will obviously be a huge benefit for top60 clans (and there are MANY of them) since they finally have chance at the slice of the pie and IMO rightfully so.
• The only "bigger losers" here are top10 (and to lesser extent top20) clans whose amount of Uranium received doesn't change.

 

And obviously the fact there's more Uranium to go around means more of the endgame players (including me) could start considering whether or not to actually acquire Relics.

 

EDIT: I'm just juggling the numbers here but the price of relics ought to get cut in half too more or less since huge majority of the cost of crafting a relic comes from Uranium. Relics used to cost around 60K coins (in the PC platform) and paying 30K for a relic puts is roughly at the same comparable price point than other weapons where the price grows tendfold as you climb to the next rarity ladder.
