GAME UPDATE

 

GENERAL FIXES

• Updated the Warmaster Arkbreak:
  • The "Open Vents" objective now has a 30-second timer. The event progresses once this timer expires. 
  • The "Break Locks" objective now has a 3-minute timer and auto-advances after that time. The locks are still vulnerable during this time.
  • Further details may be found in a thread from Scapes and Trick, here: http://forums.defiance.com/showthrea...n-Defiance-2.1
• Pursuits: The Snake's Bite I & II: The objectives now advance if any "Formidable" Hulker is killed, instead of only "Formidable" Infected Hulkers.
• Emergencies will no longer ambush players at The Fork.
• Fixed a bug causing clan boosts for salvage and score to terminate early, most noticeably when the servers restarted.
• Mission replay is now available per mission line, rather than for all story missions at once! 
• Prevented certain lock-on projectiles from striking their target through walls.
  
  

ITEMS

• Chimera Vendor: When purchasing Arkforge, you now get five times the Arkforge payout for the same low price! 
• Tier 2 and Tier 3 lock boxes have had their Arkforge drop rates adjusted. The Keycode price to Arkforge payout ratio is now best when opening Tier 4 lock boxes.
• Shrill screeching effect now properly plays from shrill grenades.
  
  

ART

• Did general polish on a number of Castithan female outfits.
• Fixed a seam on the Grim Nomad outfit. 
• Cleaned up some detailing on one of the Biohazard outfits.
• Fixed a bug that caused a white polygon to appear while wearing some Biohazard battler armors.
