The big Gang Warfare revamp went in today. Lots of neat stuff, let’s see what I can remember off the top of my head.
- There’s a Hideout link in the top pane now, where appropriate. Among other things, several new gang enhancements are manually used from that screen.
- There are new gang enhancements. Two will pop out right away, with others (five more) unlockable through various means.
- There are a bunch of new Techniques. Not all of these will stay Gang-only, but there are a whole slew of them, including some popular demand ones and some that think are awesome.
- Vigilante has grown into what I was originally picturing. There are some more options now that I’m pretty excited about.
- There are new crafting components for every craft. I didn’t really plan it that way, but there are a lot of crafting components.
- An entirely new type of consumable has hit the streets, courtesy of the Third Eye. These won’t stay gang-only forever, but I think they’re pretty interesting either way.
- There’s a bit of a side quest, although the eventual reward isn’t a Skill.
- There’s also a new Skill, giving a new option to an old side quest, but it’s so hidden it’s almost an Easter Egg.
- There’s now another market for your old coins, if you’re so inclined.
- The game now tracks lifetime gang warfare records. They’re displayed in parentheses behind the current number where appropriate. Thanks to Pyren for the suggestion.
- Medicine Cabinets indicate when they’ve been raided in both the Gang and Hideout screens. Thanks for the suggestion Magnifico.
- You should receive additional feedback when your Gang Warfare attempts move your gang to Total Control or Iron Grip. Good suggestion, The Kitchen Sink!
- Thanks to Man Mobile and Justin for reporting issues I caused while getting the code ready for these upgrades.
I’m probably missing stuff, honestly. There’s a whole lot going on. There’s even a new paper mache ‘recipe’ for crying out loud. It’s like a madhouse in there.
With an upgrade like this, especially in the PvP system, I expect for some problems to slip through. So please keep your bug reporting ready to go.
Cheers!
