0.8.52 — Fox, Reworked “Dark Matter” and Map Update

Greetings from The Wild Eight Development Team! Below are the patch notes for version 0.8.52

Additions:

[olist]

Foxes are now added to the world of The Wild Eight. Hunt a Fox for a chance to get its tail, which can be used to craft a Fox Hat.

Other players, represented by icons, can now be seen on the Map.

Added the ability to invite other players into the game from lobby. [/olist]

Changes:

[olist]

“Dark Matter” side-quest reworked.

Lowered health and hunger meter regeneration rates on several food items.

Fixed an issue, where instead of equipping all Throwing Stones in a single stack, player would only equip one.

You can now activate Hydra-1 Radio Tower with a single click, instead of two - if you’ve acquired both a Generator and a Key Card. [/olist]

Fixes:

[olist]

Changes to networking, which caused de-synchronization between players

Fixed an issue with some of the quest-related items not displaying properly.

Fixed an issue where “Garden Salad” healed 15 health points a second instead of intended 1.5 points.

Fixed an issue where the player would receive additional damage after dying from a fall, and therefore dying again after respawn.

Fixed an issue where a non-equipped weapon remained in player’s inventory after his death.

Fixed an issue in “Home, Sweet Home” side-quest, where a key-card dropped by a mutant could get stuck in the wall.

If the furnace is extinguished during the smelting process, the player now receives the intended 60 Ore instead of 1.

Ammo picked up from the ground is now automatically equipped.

Changed stamina rates for the Power Attack.

Removed the ability to fix the broken bridge after finishing the main quest line.

Changes to the Blizzard event - now it spawns no more than once a day.

Fixed an issue where the player was not able to pick the Sledge back up after removing it from his inventory.

Fixed an issue where a player would re-acquire all of the Decipher Keys for “The Door” quest after restarting the game. [/olist]

The Wild Eight is in a constant state of improvement, and it is not yet complete. If you are not ready for rare bugs and wipes, we recommend waiting for the full release. This does not mean that the game is unplayable or lacks features, it’s actually vice-versa! Right now The Wild Eight is fully enjoyable and has all main features such as the multiplayer, storyline and side quests. Buying the game and providing your feedback during Early Access will support us in improving the game. For more details check out our Early Access section above.

The plane crash was only the beginning. Eight survivors are stranded in the middle of an unforgiving Alaska. Don’t let it consume you. Survive and live to tell the tale of The Wild Eight.

In The Wild Eight always keeping on the move is your only way to survive and find out what happened with this mysterious place. It doesn't pretend to be a realistic survival sim, but very challenging and fun game designed for both, a teamwork multiplayer and an immersive singleplayer experience.

EXPLORE
Uncover the mystery behind the plane crash by following the quest lines and find all the anomalies that lie hidden in this snowy region. Follow the side quests to abandoned buildings, strange laboratories, facilities for unique loot and something out of this world!
COOPERATE
Join with other players online to take on the toughest of all the challenges.
SURVIVE
Brave new horizons in this beautiful, yet deadly random generated low-poly world. Warm your body around the campfire at night. Take shelter from blizzards and share the food with other survivors!
CRAFT & IMPROVE
Gather whatever you can to create the tools that will ensure your survival - weapons, clothing and gathering tools. Upgrade survival skills in your shelter to tailor the gameplay to your needs.
HUNT OR BE HUNTED
Flee from the ferocious beasts or turn the tables and let them taste your fear. However, there are things lurking in the wild that are even more dangerous than wild animals and blizzards.

All of this and more awaits you in The Wild Eight that gets updates with new features on a weekly basis. There’s more than the cold earth beneath the snow…
