A major update for Rift Station was published today! This is an update I've worked on for the past month to address some major problems (like broken score system), gameplay update/overhaul, new weapons & Items, lighting, performance improvements, & more.
UPDATES
Scoring system:
- Built brand new HUD scoring system to fix -1 score goal issue
Weapon Updates:
Purchased weapons and weapon drops have changed the most. They are 2 separate weapon pools now instead of overlapping.
Purchasable weapons/items are not part of elimination drops anymore. Drops from eliminations/vault/chests are not "owned" and will drop from player inventory when eliminated. They can be picked up by another player until items on the ground are cleared (45 secs I believe).
Previously, having every legendary, mythic & exotic weapon drop for free, and being permanent caused imbalances and boredom. Earning gold for weapon purchases was essentially pointless.
Lobby:
Weapons updated to the latest ones
Removed weapons added to the elimination drop pool
Weapons & vault weapons are no longer part of elimination
New preview of Vault pool. No guesses of what
Map:
Weapon pickup devices updated to rotating pool
Modular weapon pickups
New weapon pickup locations and some moved to new spots
Mod tables added (x2). Can now upgrade during match
Gameplay Updates:
Added to Map
Damageable Slurp cans
Explosive barrels added to map
Air vent devices
Breakable Windows (Clear)
Non-Breakable Windows (Black)
Players
Overshield: On
DBNO: Rolling and sprinting while downed turned on
Start with half shield on spawn
Proximity chat: Corrected long distance to a reasonable range. Spatialization turned on.
Map vault weapons updated
Different exotics including some of the more powerful ones. Removed from lobby and drops so only found in the vault now.
Gold economy rebalanced
Lighting improvements
Non-Lumen lighting was incredibly dark. Improved but further adjustments will be part of a small update this week.
Performance Improvements
Asset updates
Community channels are now available! :] Such as bugs reports and feedback/suggestions.
