- Introducing New Scheduled Play Times - 10 September 2018
As we continue to move through Early Access and testing, we need your help! We’re looking for help finding bugs, giving feedback, and even working out new strategies. So, in order to make it easier for all of our players to participate we’re beginning brand new weekly testing times — starting today! Join us every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday at 11am PDT/7pm BST in Discord. Our Pathfinders, Wardens, and devs will be in voice chat and ready to play, answer questions, and find new things we can improve. However, our servers will remain up 24/7 just in case you need some extra playtime! https://i.imgur.com/9ZCZIbV.png Schedule Monday 11:00am PDT — 1:00pm PDT 19:00 BST — 21:00 BST 18:00 GMT — 20:00 GMT Wednesday 11:00am PDT — 1:00pm PDT 19:00 BST — 21:00 BST 18:00 GMT — 20:00 GMT Friday 11:00am PDT — 1:00pm PDT 19:00 BST — 21:00 BST 18:00 GMT — 20:00 GMT

- Patch Notes — 01 June Update - 31 May 2018
For this update, we focused primarily on balance and making the game feel much more competitive, no matter which faction or character you choose. To achieve this, we looked at making the Wastelanders more viable, increasing the tankiness of both Taloc and Els’beth, plus a lot of other small tweaks. https://i.imgur.com/hf1shpX.jpg Balance can be a delicate thing to achieve, and there are a lot of levers to pull in order to achieve it. Once the update is live, we want to hear from you. Head over to the Steam forums and let us know what you think of the changes we’ve made. Now, let’s get to it! Content Changes Addicted spawn points changed Amount of Addicted kills required to open up parts of map reduced slightly More cover added to various parts of the map. Ice Lake, Back Alley, and exits to Sewers all have more cover Amount of fog increased Timing to open up parts of the level reduced. N…
- We Want Your Feedback - 24 May 2018
Being in early access means that not only are we continuing to work on the game by adding new features, factions, maps, and squashing bugs but also that we want your feedback. And although not every decision is suited to taking a vote from the community, we absolutely want the community's voice to be heard and give opportunities to directly influence the future of The DRG Initiative. One of the things we've been working on is new armor designs for the Sister Knight Wardens. These designs are early in the concept phase, but we're too excited not to share them. The philosophy and direction behind these potential changes are ultimately part of balance -- the Sister Knight Wardens can have an unfair advantage in terms of visibility and we all know you can't shoot a target you can't see. The theme for these designs is to give the Knights a unified team uniform look; like they are part of the…
