PARTIES

This update includes the beginning of the long awaited parties refactor. There’s still a lot of issues that we’re working through, but when it’s fully working this is what you can expect to see:

  • You can now create parties while in a server, which will allow you to effectively invite friends to your existing game.

  • When you’re not in a server, inviting a friend will transport both of you to a new party home. In the future, you’ll have more customization options for your home and when joining a party you’ll be joining the host’s home.

In our most recent testing, there seems to be a few issues that make it not work most of the time. We'll be patching this in the coming days to make it more reliable than ever before.

  • Visual improvements to the revive orbs

  • Added some visual effects for extraction points
