Hello Patrons!
It is finally time, the rollout of our most ambitious effort to date is underway!
Here is what you can look forward to as patrons:
In the next week we will have a Patron-Preview Event on our dev-server allowing you EXCLUSIVE ACCESS to try out all the new content before it goes live!
To signup, please DM DEV /NULL on the discord, you will be given the server IP and an account to login with. The server will be accessible after Feb 1st!
There will be blogs and more explaining everything about the island, new loot, and such in the coming days, but here is what you can expect:
The Stronghold is a large, Nian-controlled base, featuring Turrets, and Gamma-structures, with capabilities not yet seen in-game. The Turrets and roaming NPCs are tough and persistent, and will require a LARGE squad with several Destroyers and support to survive and make a dent in the base's defenses. All NPCs are red/aggressive and are extremely capable of killing you. The turrets also introduce a new AI stack, so be aware of unexpected behavior could catch you off-guard. This content is designed for upwards of 8-10 attentive individuals. This is not your typical NPC farm...
This is the PVE element to our Destroyer-Gamma content arc. Destroyers and Turrets have been, and will continue to be, balanced and observed to make a more dynamic and engaging Gamma experience. We look forward to seeing what metas emerge! But we are most happy to finally have something for all those Destroyers to shoot at ;)
On top of that there are new boss(es) that will be dropping unique loot that will not be found anywhere else in the game, which will be required for unique gear! Yes, this is in-fact the return of T2+/T4+ with a little twist. More details in blogs to follow!
From now until release (Est. mid feb) we will be promoting videos, blogs, and more across the most effective social media sites we utilize. This will likely be our biggest promotion push before Gamma, so use this as an opportunity to re-engage with the community, keep an eye out for new players, and spread the word to others new or old, about what's happening in Perpetuum!
In the meantime, keep eyes on the #op-patron channel for details on the preview event, and let us know if you have any questions!
Thank you so much for your continued, and generous, support. Your funding is what makes promotions, dev server, live server, and the open source project possible!
