New features:

• Combat Update: Faster Fights, Cooler abilities, slicker UI, monsters updated
• Level cap raised to 19.
• The Atmid Survey Platform is a new area available to players ~ level 18.
• Tonics have been added! A tonic can be used for healing, or restoring energy, and some do both. Currently you can only find these from loot, but future patches will allow you to craft them and purchase them from vendors.
• Island Beacons have been added! Right now you only get one during the prologue, but we’ll be adding A LOT more for the Beta1 patch. Once a beacon is activated, you can travel to the island it’s pointing to. If a beacon hasn’t been activated, you’ll be able to trade it with other players.
• Tier0 resources and been changed to Tier1 resources. This change won’t be too noticeable unless you had a lot of Tier0 resources before (they have ‘_OLD’ at the end of their name now). You can sell those at Runner’s Rest for some gold since you won’t need them for anything.
• The foundation has been set for item augments, gadget, and combat companions. Future patches will introduce these.

Fixes:

• Existing players can once again purchase new islands. You’ll need to talk to Archi and be level 12+. He’ll have a conversation named “(Prologue Fix)”. Simply choose that conversation and island purchasing should be unlocked in the shop!
• More optimizations for mobile and tablet devices.
• Combat abilities rebalanced.
• Minor quest fixes.
