WotLD closed beta update
Today’s World of the Living Dead update includes lots of bug fixes, introduces in-game chat and SCUGS Elite!
Bug fixes
- Missions problems, mostly to do with completing item missions
- Stuck squads problem should no longer happen. Please let us know if you have any stuck squads.
- Fix for squad shown as ‘moving’ when coming out of safehouse
- Cannot move items to collect mission locations. Items can only be moved to mission locations if they are a delivery location
- Fix for route planning outside visible z-density blocks
- Can enter broken safehouses regardless of original capacity
- Can’t write on the wall in private safehouse until it is either shared with faction or destroyed
- Fix for ration break bugs, although please tell us if your timers go above 24 hours! Because of the recent problems, we’ll be resetting hunger and thirst to zero for all survivors.
NECRA Operative Comms (aka chat)
There is now a small red radio to the right of the top menu. You can enable global chat with any other operatives online at the time. Be nice to each other (or don’t, that’s your choice as NECRA operatives).
SCUGS Elite
We’re introducing a new package for anyone who wants to support the game and get some bonus features. SCUGS Elite won’t give you a material advantage over other operatives, but it has some useful and fun elements - all accessible from the command page - and we’ll keep adding to it as we develop. SCUGS Elite currently gives you the following for 30 days, and we’re keeping it half price during closed beta!
- Custom larger squad icons (choose from an initial selection of over 100 icons, including flags of Europe and the Americas, and alphanumeric icons for the minimalist)
- Remove advertising (removes the top ad for the duration)
- Rename squads (rename at any time)
- Rename characters (change the full name or just add info)
- Strategic downloadable map (in KML format, for use in Google Earth)
- Downloadable spreadsheets (in csv format, can be opened in Excel or Open Office)
