Phewh. Whaaat, another week went by already? It looks like the time has come for our next update. This week we are adding some interesting weapons you might’ve been waiting for…
The star of today’s update is, of course, World Rammer. We showed it in our beta trailer, and there were a lot of questions about it in the Discord community. So, here comes! As you might guess from the name, World Rammer is a superweapon that allows to ram planets off their orbits. This is the pillar of the cosmic chaos Worbital aims to spread! World Rammer is now available to Lucid and Celestials. Another new weapon this week is Earthshaker, added for Terrene and Celestials. Earthshaker deals damage to all the structures on the planet’s surface. A nice way to finish off a few enemy buildings in dire need of repair.
In addition, we are including some important fixes, that were initially included in last Friday’s reverted patch, as well as some new ones. They should make the game more stable and fix some bugs reported on Discord.
Also, we no longer limit all players to the same EU server. Game lag has been an issue for some players in North America, so now we have a US server open to avoid that. The default server for everyone is still in EU, but you can now easily change that. In the game Options menu, select Network and pick either of the two available network regions - USA or EU.
