[Game Update] - 725977

[V2C]

Hey Everybody!

Today we have a small Follow-Up Shadow Affinity update for the WX-78 Skill spotlight.

Highlights Include:

• Added a new Chessmaster Circuit.
• Added the Shadow Servitor skill for WX-78.
• Replaced Field Survey II skill with Signal Booster skill, which boosts all drone ranges in general.
• Roto-Mapper now also functions similar to Ocuvigil, but only revealed to the owner.
• Additional behaviour and interactions for the Possessed Chassis.

Login Rewards

 

 

We're also including some login rewards for you. Get the Ominous Exploiterator, Gloomy Auto-Grabber, Elegant Exploiterator, Opulent Auto-Grabber and Pengull Ice Cube just by logging into the game for a limited time. The drone skins will later be purchasable in-game. 

Until Next time!
As mentioned in the WX-Spotlight update, we're moving on to the next batch of content for you. Note that this update is not on the previously released roadmap and is considered part of the WX-78 Spotlight update. So we still have quite a bit coming up. See you next time!

ohhhhh so the feedback didn't matter

[VaskalRascal]

Sad to see the update finally end. Shadow could've used a little more work but I'm still happy with how it turned out!

[KvltBear]

Excellent. I was itching to get the chessmaster circuit after watching it being used by those on the beta branch. Skins look great. Shadow affinity seems pretty solid from what I've watched. Lots of possibilities with the auto-grabbers and nice damage boost with the...the other one lol. Overall the whole tree seems solid and excellent. I've been quite enjoying it. Lots to think about with the circuits, the buffing, the chassis, remote transferring. I think the 1 skill tree at a time approach is off to a big success.

[Kacpert25]

It's a shame that eating nightmare fuel and pure horror still gives a very niche buff. Other than that, I'm even satisfied with Wx's shadow affinity.

Yikes

[Jussatoon]

Let's see what the mods have in store, I guess. 

[Frashaw27]

Ah, the worse shadow affinity got to see the light of day with multiple people still being unhappy about it. Sick

[Hi.]

What happened to "listening to feedback"?

[Terefereee]

it's kind of sad seeing shadow side released in a still somewhat underpowered and not completely polished state, I hope some changes will be made still post release at least

never does

Sad to see none of the feedback during the beta mattered at all, what a shame.

[sarreos]

Hopefully this will get some changes later on 

[Grega]

Theres no update on Xbox 

[Primalflower]

listening to feedback doesn't mean they bend to every will, i think the sad truth is just that they discussed things internally in response to the feedback given and didnt come to the conclusions desired

That's true but I know a lot were complaining about the shadow affinity so them choosing to ignore everyone's complaints it sorta strange 

 

It really felt kind of rushed

Likely true, but do you think they'll ever externally say no to feedback, or do we have more luck seeing that kind of transparency in Elsewhere?

[DegenerateFurry]

For those of us who didn't play the beta, what does the shadow affinity perk do? 

[Paxtonnnn]

We got a few really nice changes that I think make WX a decently fun character, but the update really feels like it failed as a skill tree and it was even more painful to watch the changes throughout the beta

the last time they were actively as transparent as possible about updates was wendy/walter/wortox skill tree and in return the forums made several, and i mean several posts calling for jason (the guy who posted the transparency stuff) to be fired and blamed the entire discourse on him

I don't want  to be one-group-ruined-it-for-the-whole-website about it but i would be lying if i didnt see the completely rational reasoning to be a little bit hush hush about it from then on lol, it was an immediate vulnerability to getting burned situation

Elsewhere it is, then.

no I think it does, I know Klei is good at taking feedback and working it into updates, it just didn't feel that way this time.

It was way worse than just that, there were genuine waves of death threats. If I were Klei I’d be hesitant to be open after that too.

Still, I wish we could have seen more clarity on some changes and were given more information on unfinished content such as the affinities, that’s largely why this follow up update happened to begin with

[Mysterious box]

Gotta say I really like the look of the new skins for the skill they look cool

[Tarnishedmax]

Why did we even bother with feedback, genuinely did not even matter, excited for mods though.
