Greetings, Nomads,

First, we want to thank everyone for playing in Chapter 1 and those of you who participated in the Public Test Realm. The public test realm worked very well in finding some critical issues and getting feedback and we're excited to continue that effort as we go forward in chapters. Chapter 2 will be releasing on May 8th, at 10am EST! This will include a full wipe and restart. We have decided to run a short survey to inform the map schedule and pacing. Please complete the survey to help us decide the Chapter schedule. https://forms.gle/gwFgxpxJS515Z64z5

We’ve been listening closely to all your feedback and made a lot of strides in development across the board with some especially useful QOL improvements. We’re hoping with all the work we’ve done, many of the previous issues, bugs and glitches brought up in Chapter 1 have been addressed. Full changelog is below.

So far, your feedback has been invaluable in helping our small team progress. If you want to check out any of the changes early, the Public Test Realm (PTR) is still available until the 8th.

Launch of the Public Test Realm

Greetings, Nomads,

As we approach the end of Season 6 Chapter 1, we will be opening up a new Public Test Realm (PTR) to test out the many changes and fixes implemented for Season 2. With this we’re hoping to find (with your help) any exploits, bugs, and/or crashes that might result in the fixes we’ve made for existing issues corrected in this first chapter. You’ll also find a whole slew of new balance changes and tweaks as well.

PTR will launch today at 2 PM EST and have 10x XP and 5x gathering/harvesting. EU and NA-West servers will be available. Full changelog is below. We'll have more information regarding the release of Chapter 2 soon, but a lot depends on the stability of the PTR. However, the goal is to stay as close to the 8 week drumbeat as possible. If we delay beyond that, it will be days/weeks, not months/years.

How to Join the PTR

To join is pretty straightforward. Right-click on Last Oasis on Steam Then Click on Properties And finally enter the beta code NABTbnQT9AEUzhK into the "Private Versions" box at the bottom.

Launch of Season 6

First of all, we want to thank everyone for joining us in the successful launch of Season 6. We've loved seeing all the engagement from the community - both positive and negative. The passion our players have for the game is what motivates us. Thank you for sticking it out through the tile spawning issues, we have resolved them and Volcanyons will start spawning today at 4PM EST. Future maps will spawn during the region's primetime. This upcoming week we will be patching with some balance changes, some crash fixes, and a few other odds and ends. This includes some fixes to address the sand spam. Until then, please report any instances of spamming foundations or walls (especially sand) and we will come take action.

Survey

Now we want to hear from everyone - whether you loved Chapter One and you're still grinding hard, or you felt it didn't stick the landing. As we've said before, all feedback is critical in making Last Oasis the strongest version of itself. https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSc9PiHVrdMp6AMlMKCN-QFabdFen1Cw_GjWCwWoyjr1Y15ZWA/viewform?usp=dialog Thank you again to everyone who has played Season 6 and has provided their feedback on whatever medium. We try to read as much feedback as we can between Discord, Reddit, Steam, etc, to make sure we're capturing every perspective. This feedback survey is another part of it.

Event Tiles

Adventurous nomads exploring the wastes have returned with tales of Oases imbued with mystical power. Courageous Nomads who seek these pockets of life will be rewarded with powerful materials used to craft stronger weapons and armor and upgrade walkers. As a reminder to new and returning players, event tiles are now the center of the quality system. On these tiles, resources and mobs can spawn with various levels of quality. Quality mobs are stronger with more HP and give more experience. Resources can be found in quality throughout the map, or looted from the Rupu. These resources can then be used to upgrade your walker and craft stronger equipment, placeables, and improved crafting stations. Event tiles are now spawning in all regions. Throughout the Chapter, additional tile types will be added to the map pool. Today Canyons has been added. Stayed tuned for Ancient Cities which will open up the ability to craft Proxy Walkers!

Season 6 - Chapter One

Today we embark on a new journey - Season 6 is finally here! We've all worked extremely hard over the past three years to get to this point and we can't wait to dive into this season with you all. None of this would have been possible without the dedication of our community. Without the thousands of hours of testing, reporting, and discussion, we would not be where we are. This is a new beginning and we look forward to continuing development of Last Oasis, right alongside the community.

If you're joining us for the first time, prepare for a thrilling and unforgiving experience. The sands take no prisoners. But glory awaits those who resolve to see it through. I highly recommend this video for any new or returning players to catch up on what's changed in Last Oasis.

The season will run roughly on the following schedule, with maps overlapping through the weekend. Maps will burn each week, even if the tile type isn't changing, so that we can keep tiles clean and adjust for population. Week 1: Canyons Canyons Event Week 2: Ancient City Event Week 3: Volcanyons Volcanyons Event Week 4: Volcano Event Sleeping Giants Event Week 5: Kali Spires Kali Spires Event Week 6: Asteroid Crash Site Event Week 7: Worm Event We will see you in the wastes!

We will be launching the stress test today at 12 noon EST. Aside from that, we wanted to give you some more detail about what we're trying to achieve and how the test is set up. For this season, we have upgraded some of the servers to a newer CPU and made some other configuration chances. We want to test performance with this new set up. For that reason, the stress test will only have 1 Canyon map in each region for the duration of the test. We want to fully load the server and catch any performance issues now and resolve what we can. So that you can really stress the servers, we will be settings as follows: XP - 10x Foliage Respawn - 10x Looting - 4x Since there is the possibility for extended downtime, frequent updates, and limited server capacity, we decided to keep the current realm active. This will allow you to test out the S6 changes if you are curious but not interested in taking part in the stress test or the servers are full.

Changelog 44893

It is time. Finally, Season 6 Chapter One is just over the horizon. S6: Ch 1 marks a major destination and turning point for us and for development of Last Oasis. It is the culmination of multiple years and thousands of hours of development, testing, and feedback. There isn't much left to say except we hope we've managed to provide an experience that is both nostalgic and fresh. On February 27th we will wipe all official servers and commence a stress test that will last through the weekend. This is a last check for stability and to validate a few things related to the server provider. Assuming the stress test does not reveal any major issues, we will conduct another wipe and launch Season 6 on March 6th at 10am EST. As a reminder, under the new Chapter model, we will expect full server wipes and resets every ~8 weeks, so expected Chapter 1 to last until early May. Unfortunately, we will be launching the Season without Xbox compatibility. There is one small issue we just haven't been able to solve and as a result we have not been able to gain certification. We are still actively working to resolve the issue and will restore Xbox functionality as soon as possible.

----

We will release a full set of patch notes on the day of launch, we just wanted to quickly recap our development focus for Season 6. We are confident we have improved the game in a variety of ways, but we understand there is significant work remaining. We hope that this is another major step towards rebuilding trust with the community and earning your assistance in making Last Oasis the game it deserves to be. Events

We put a ton of working into making Last Oasis event-focused. Between more on-map events, like overhauling meteors, creating unique team-based POIs on every map, and making event tiles a major progression focus, we wanted to create reliable ways that you could find other players to engage in combat with and, on the flip side, there was always something worth prioritizing. While we know that a lot of the events still require significant development, both in terms of aesthetics and in gameplay, we have seen throughout testing they largely achieve their intended objectives. PvP Balance While PVP in an open world sandbox will never be "fair", we have put significant guardrails in place to both make the experience more accessible for new or less experienced players, such as the Anti-Personnel Turret, which provides automated defense for walkers, and to limit power-scaling associated with numbers, such as prioritizing small and medium clan tiles, walker crew limits, and walker power limits. We have also made major mechanical and balance changes, which makes fully wiping a Walker's deck more difficult and makes fully zeroing walkers more difficult. And More Realistically through development of Season 6 we worked on nearly every part of the game, far too much to add into a post. Fortunately, some members of the community have been playing and testing along the whole time, and Theodas has made an excellent recap video which touches on all of the major gameplay changes. It's very well done and timestamped, so if you're curious about something you should be able to find the answer here. ---- We're sure you all have tons of questions about what is next, what are we thinking, when will we address x, y, and z. However, at this point, we've been developing without validating anything for a long while now, so it is simply time to turn it over to you and sit back and watch and see how things play out. We will be sure to keep you up to date with our thoughts and observations as the chapter progresses. We hope you're as excited as us and hope to see you all soon. Steel yourselves, Nomads. The sands await.

Greetings, Nomads! We want to thank everyone who participated in the current test. Your feedback continues to be invaluable in solving issues and preparing for the season release. The new tile spawning system worked very well and sets us up to be able to run seasons with a lot less overhead on our part, which lets us spend more developing and responding to issues we see during gameplay. Of course there were a few issues and hiccups as we learned how the new system would respond, but everything is set up nicely and lessons learned documented going forward. Today’s patch is a final clean up that should resolve most of the major outstanding issues. It ended up being quite a lot of fixes, which you can see in the changelog below. These include some QoL changes, bug fixes, and some polish. Now the major efforts standing between us and Season 6 are EAC and Xbox certification. 

Between the previous test and this one, our current implementation of EAC was deprecated, and we had to add in the new Epic Online Services EAC implementation in order to restore anti-cheat functionality. That effort is nearly complete and is being tested internally.

We don’t have any satisfying updates on Xbox progress, but we are still working on it and the plan to recertify Xbox prior to the launch of S6 has not changed. Modkit 2.0

While we wait, we've decided to release all the latest fixes in the most recent patch, which also includes the new version of the Last Oasis ModKit! This new version of the ModKit will invalidate all existing mods and will require a few minutes of work to get working again, but it will finally allow you to easily work on multiple mods with shared or conflicting assets, and not lose changes with every subsequent game or ModKit update.

To fix existing mods, in addition to the basic documentation in this link

https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1QqS5Z32g07FLpTja2g6oCUJ3YeJnqND1 You can read this short guide that will allow you to fix your mods and make them work again in the new version of the modkit and the game.

The test is live now on the official public servers! As discussed, the test will run for approximately two weeks and focus on our new tile spawning system. We will go through the full progression at an accelerated pace: 3x XP 2x Harvesting Ensure that you're on the default branch as shown below.

Greetings, Nomads! The test will take place on official servers just as the last test did. No launch parameters are required and ensure that you have selected the default branch "None" in beta options, as shown below.

All servers will go down shortly for approximately two hours, after which the test will begin! Also, as a bit of a house-keeping announcement, upon the launch of Season 6, we will be shutting down the S4 backend, so you will no longer be able to host servers based on the S4 version of the game. Plan accordingly.

Greetings, Nomads!

As we told you at the end of the most recent test, there were three major hurdles standing between us and the release of Season 6 - Xbox certification, automatic tile spawning, and ensuring we have adequate server support. In order to get it all done, we thought we needed to expand our team and add some additional skillsets, so we’d like to introduce the newest member of Donkey Crew, Rarp!

Hey all, I'm Rarp! Super excited to be joining the team as a developer. I've been around LO since the beginning of S1, so it feels amazing to now be on the other side helping shape the game. I've been a software engineer for about 15 years (mainly in business development), and I've dabbled in game dev through side projects; but this is my first chance to work on a game with such a dedicated player base. Can't wait to dive in and help push things forward!

Rarp has been working through the summer getting up to speed on the backend and our Xbox situation and has made a lot of progress towards achieving our goals.

Initially, we investigated moving to Nitrado’s Game Fabric service, which would give us additional flexibility when it comes to hosting tiles on demand and scaling our support throughout the shorter 8 week seasons, but ultimately decided that it isn’t the priority worth pursuing at this point. However, it should not prevent us from having adequate servers as we go forward.

For Xbox, we see the light at the end of the tunnel, though perhaps it’s just a little bit early to declare victory entirely. We will keep you posted and it is our full intention to support Xbox at Season 6 launch.

The meat and potatoes here is the automated tile spawning system. While we acknowledge there are some limitations around our design related to tile progression throughout the season, we think that one of the major successes of last season was keeping tiles densely populated and maximizing player interactions. When we set out to design a tile spawning system, we wanted to ensure that it would enable us to spend less time manually operating each season, but also that it maintained its flexibility. A weakness of previous seasons was that the algorithm could not adapt fast enough and many regions were left sparsely populated, leading to empty maps and reduced player interactions.

So, we have an all new tile spawning system, and you know what that means: a test! We had a lot of internal debate about test fatigue. We get it, we’re ready for the season as well. Something is just different when it’s “for real”. But this is a really important one to run through its paces at least once. The test will run for approximately two weeks for PC users only. It will be on an accelerated timeline and progress through the full season with increased XP and Gathering rates. We are working through the last few details but the goal is to start the test on Friday, October 3rd. We will announce further details about how to join the test on the day we actually start.

But wait, there’s more! There were some bugs and balance issues still lingering at the end of the test and of course we couldn't resist adding even more content, so see the full changelog below.
