[/list] [b]About the new reward system:[/b] Players are now rewarded batteries for successfully completing levels. The amount of batteries gained depends on the game size (set in the new game settings), larger levels = larger payout. Number of players joined, the more players help out with the level, the less batteries you gain. And finally there is a survivor bonus, the more players manage to escape the larger the bonus. The store prices have been increased in order to preserver the difficulty of obtaining items. [b]About the new server regions:[/b] You will only be able to see and join games that are in your same region. Make sure that you and your friends are in the same region when trying to join each other. The region can be selected from the dropdown list in the main menu. Joining via steam should automatically change regions. By default the US East region is connected to, it is strongly advised that you only change this if you experience connection issues such as sudden disconnections and high ping. I hope you all enjoy this new update and I eagerly wait to hear what you have to say about it! As always, nothing in the game is final, so if you have any suggestions please don't be afraid to get in touch with me via the discord: [url=https://discord.gg/fJWwnSS]https://discord.gg/fJWwnSS[/url] I'd love to hear your ideas, know if you experience any bugs or know if there are things you don't quite like. Enjoy, have fun and I wish you all a SpOoOoOoky Halloween! Ben.
