Hi Everyone

PTS is coming down right now for an update!

Here are the incomplete patch notes:

Source: http://forums.defiance.com/showthread.php?200551-Defiance-3.000-Alcatraz-comes-to-PTS&p=1714342#post1714342

• Only group leaders can start expedition matchmaking on behalf of the group.
• The animated map icon for the next mission in a mission sequence will behave as expected when the mission type is toggled in the legend.
• War Below –Meat Market encounter now has 4 total hostages with extra enemy spawns occurring after rescuing 1 hostage and then again after 2 or 3 hostages are rescued.
• Updated War Master and the Arkbreaker arkfalls to drop new versions of the Arkbreaker weapons that use the new rarity bonus system. Existing weapons are not affected.
• Updated War Master loot to be more generous on a win and less generous on a loss.
• Cyber Chips with a multiplicative effect will now display that effect as +% in the UI, similar to “+1.50%”.
• Tuning changes to Armor Eradicator, Core Ravager, and Shield Disruptor chips. Removed uncommon versions of these chips from merchant and drop tables. They’ll still exist on PTS if you already have them, but will display as providing 0.00 effect.
• Encounters in certain parts of expeditions have been asked nicely to give Ark Hunters some space when they open the door.
• Fixed a client crash that could happen on login if the players Chat/UI settings were invalid (please let us know if you see any strange issues revolving around the number of chat tabs you have, if they were reset with this patch, and if chat tab settings persist when logging in/out)
