Greetings Reagents!
We released a hotfix to resolve some issues and improve game stability.
We are still assessing all the feedback and data from the launch week, and will provide more details soon. Your feedback is critical for us, thank you for playing The Outlast Trials and for taking the time to respond to our survey!
Group Finder
We are improving the Group Finder to queue players of similar Therapy Level together. This change should improve the player experience when playing with strangers. We will be monitoring this change and keep improving it server-side. Although the system tries to find players of similar Therapy Level, it is still possible that players end up in a group with a larger level difference.
General
- Group Finder will now look for players of similar level in priority. If the matchmaking time takes too long, the system will expand to more levels in order to find a team.
- Group Finder will avoid matchmaking with the same players twice in a row.
- Quest items dropping on the ground due to players leaving Trial or disconnecting will now display an icon across the map to help other players locate it (Keys and Tickets).
