1.24 Release Highlights
Greetings from Plarium!
We’ve got another game update coming, and there are several neat features included. Check out the Update Highlights to get a brief description of what you can expect in the near future.
New Mech: Arachnos
A brand new Mech will enter the fray with Update 1.24! Though it is slow and lacks thick armor, Arachnos brings much to the table nonetheless: it possesses some of the highest Energy Capacity in the game (on par with Guardians and Panthers) and has a unique Ability called Spider Turret that can significantly hamper the opposing team’s effort. Namely, it can drop a stationary defense turret which will attack any enemy Mech entering its firing radius for 10 seconds.
We plan to release a full Mech Spotlight for Arachnos at some point in the near future, so keep an eye out for it if you want to learn the nitty-gritty details! In short, these turrets will allow you to defend Control Beacons, leave obstacles covering flanking routes, or support your team as they advance. It will be a powerful tool in the hands of a skilled Pilot!
New Event Type: Derby Events
A new type of Events will become available with the update as well. Some of these Derby Events will get triggered as soon as you reach a set level of Player Experience, others will be run on a schedule and will only be available to players within specific Experience brackets.
Derby Events will be broken down into separate parts, each opening a day after the previous part. Completing Event objectives will yield points and let you collect rewards - that principle is exactly the same as what you’ve already seen.
Oh, and Arachnos will be available as part of such an event after the Update, so don’t miss the chance to get it!
Weekly Objectives
This feature is the logical continuation of the Daily Objectives you already have. They work exactly the same way, except the objectives themselves are tougher and you have an unlimited amount of time to complete them rather than a day. Of course, great objectives also provide greater rewards - you’ll be able to see for yourself once the Update goes live!
