Fractured Online’s big Endgame Changer update is here, following a slight delay after a last minute server issue the team has since addressed.
The update is the first since the game relaunched back into Early Access and is a packed one that includes all new core system changes, with rules having changed for making spell presets, the conversion of Enchanting Dust and Stargate Crystals into Primal Energy Dust (which has several key uses), and the introduction of new mount types, and large-scale PvP in the form of fortresses.
There are two rare new mounts, and all mounts now have a series of attributes. Even horses are now a bit rarer, and any you own or new ones you find will also have the new attributes applied.
The update was originally scheduled to go live yesterday, but the team updated that they had found a significant issue that would not let them deploy the patch until later. previously, they had to rebuild part of their server infrastructure because of the addition of fortresses, and they found that before they pushed out the patch, it wasn't working on their production servers. this meant that there were no safeguards and it could lead to all kinds of issues.
They had considered that they might not be able to issue the patch at all, and actually announced on Discord that if they couldn’t fix it they would reopen the server with the old build. However, lots of work made it so they identified the issue and were able to fix it.
So, now the big patch that they have been promising, teasing, testing, and previewing, is live. So there’s now more to do, new ways to explore, and new ways to engage in PvP and even travel.
It’s a big update, with many intricate parts. See more at Fractured Online.
