Next Update: Melee Combat is Coming!

[Soju-VB]

Maybe they can do “skins” for the shields from the marketplace… a cookie skin for the round shields =)

Could probably be done as a PC mod, but then only you (or others with the mod) would be able to see it.

[BabyCookie]

It sounds Awesome but me like giving s to community so it won’t be fun with a mod if me only see it (;.; )

[Soju-VB]

Yeah, a real shield skin would be better.

[Kokuma]

well, that’s an idea for future updates, we already have outfits and body paints, why not unlockable weapon/tool skins bought with cubits? that way @BabyCookie can have shields if the devs add that.

[Buugi]

I prolly end up using them as a prop

[Nightstar]

Is any gear currently placeable?

[Buugi]

I think not.
I dream of weapon racks

@noniethepup

Does the ability of new mobs coming also come along with this? Or will this be a future update? I would assume the long mentioned Stalker monster could be a huge game changer with the additions of these weapons.

You’d likely see the Mobs in a later update when Warp Wraith is finalized. The update is already pretty big if they are including new weapons in the additional Local Universe player mode that is on the plate.

We need it so we are able to add guild insignia makers on the shields. Would be a nice addition if it can be made into the game so doesn’t have to be modded and able to be seen by all.

Will there be new enemies?

@ciprianb

Will there be new enemies?

melee is nice, but new enemies like the ground basher would be much more interesting for me

@rossstephens

Shields: Raise your shield to block incoming damage from a frontal direction. Absorbing damage causes stamina to drop.

I hope it’s designed in a way that we don’t constantly press the the right mouse button to be ready to block. There should also be a cost for blocking nothing, unless blocking is passive.

I play with with just one myself so another tab be great

[rossstephens]

@Buugi

Well At least somewhat solution would be chabging epics as 2 pointers. That would save a lot of skillpoints…
And would be easier solution than reworking the whole thing.

I never understood example why you could t do both brew and food crafting with one char example… It feels really weird To have a crafter that has To choose from those…

Oh some big changes to skills in general is in this same update Sam will update/post it at some point, but short of it is we are making it easier to play with one character

[Buugi]

Sounds great.

@James / @rossstephens , not sure how easy this is? I would assume this probably is done when (if ever) you all allow the sticker idea (that you could put on walls) that was floated around in EA. But, not sure considering that shields move around and I have no idea how that would be tracked or displayed.

[rossstephens]

Would be out of the scope of this update for sure. Stickers have been floating around as an idea for a while, and i think shield customisation would have to be part of a larger customisation feature update if we ever did one

[DKPuncherello]

How about allowing any one character or emoji on shields, like a sign module?

[jennettehamilton9013]

When will this update will be released?! I’m dying to know

[SamF]

Edited OP, and I’ll echo it here;

In addition, we’ve raised the ceiling for skill points to 359, and reworked the way epics are linked. This is to facilitate both melee combat and a single player experience. We’ll have full details of everything in the release notes when it’s ready for a testing release.

We’ll let you all know when we’re ready to roll out testing - once we know, you’ll know!
