Snowmen

Be on the lookout for snowmen (and mudmen!) spawning across the battleworn continents of Auraxis. Killing one will gift you with a load of experience and contribute toward Auraximas directive progress.

Rare, golden snowmen will occasionally make an appearance as well. Killing one of these grants a special hood ornament for your vehicles!

  • The mission pool has been unified, and no longer gates certain missions behind Members-only paywalls.
  • Instead, members will receive increased mission rewards.

Misc. Changes, Fixes, and Additions

  • Reinstated the temporary population reductions on each continent. Dev Note: This change was mistakenly reset after rolling zone restarts Wednesday last week, resulting in poor server performance due to high populations in conjunction with the spawn system changes.
  • Fixed an issue where skies would take too long to transition from one sky file to the next. This also fixes the problem with Oshur's underwater visuals persisting for a couple of seconds after resurfacing.
  • Warpgate spawns on locked continents no longer appear in the redeploy dropdown.
  • You no longer see underwater "god rays" while in the lower level of Naum Amp Station on Hossin.
  • NS-30 "Gungnir" Vandal's magazine no longer disappears momentarily during a reload.
  • Fixed an issue with DBC prices sometimes overlapping long Depot bundle lists.
  • Havoc Missiles are now referred to by their correct name in the ESF directives.
  • Polished various Conduit carry animations.

I think it was the 2nd and 4th. You have to check

And you should check the graves of your dwarfes. How many holes had you diggy, diggy, dig for their bodies already?

None, it turns out its hard to play a sprite based story simulator/management game with a 8 year old sitting on Your lap. She likes Vallheim though
