Planned balance changes. Mass testing

Hello there, survivors!

Soon we are planning to release the promised balance update. We carefully reviewed your feedback after the first test, checked it against the statistics and are now ready to submit an updated version. Let's get started!

We remind you that all the new features described in the “Developer blog” are not final and may be changed before they are introduced into the game or may not make it into the game at all. You can study all the planned changes in detail on the special test server!

All changes are indicated regarding the parameters on the live server!

“Rare” parts

In terms of “rare” parts, we would like to note that the changes are related to the introduction of a new “special” rarity into the game. We have gathered enough information since it was added and are making corrections that will make the details of “rare” and “special” rarities quite different from each other in terms of effectiveness, as it should be.

How to get to the test server?

If you have ever participated in testing features on a special server, then just start the Launcher from the folder with the test client and wait for the update to complete.

  • Create a new folder for the game on your hard drive.
  • Download the Launcher from this link. The file name should not contain numbers indicating that the file is a duplicate. Please note that you should launch the file that does not contain any digits (1), (2), etc. in its name. If, when starting the installed launcher, you are logged into the live game servers, you need to delete all downloaded launchers from the download folder and try again.
  • Start the Launcher and install the game into the folder you created (for example D:\Public test\Crossout).
  • After the installation is complete, start the Launcher and log into the game with your username and password.
  • The progress of your main account will be transferred to the test server (including parts in storage and levels of reputation with factions).
  • After logging into the server, to transfer progress from your account, press the “Esc” key and select “Copy account data”.
  • Please note the schedule of the test server:
    • Thursday, June 11, 2020 from 13:00 to 19:00 (GMT)
    • Friday, June 12, 2020 from 13:00 to 19:00 (GMT)
    • Saturday, June 13, 2020 from 13:00 to 19:00 (GMT)
  • Any progress you make on the test server will not be transferred to the live game servers (INCLUDING ATTEMPTS TO BUY PACKS).

After testing the changes, we invite you to leave your constructive feedback on the planned rework in THIS THREAD (it will open a bit later after the launch of the test server).

You can report all issues found on the test server here.

The public test server is intended only for testing of the upcoming update, and may not accommodate all players without exception. However, absolutely anyone can join the server, as long as there are free spots.
