Planet Calypso Content Release 2012.2 2012-03-13

Here is the Content Release 2012.2 for Planet Calypso on 13 of March 2012. A lot of bug fixed, just what players wanted. Beacon missions are greatly improved. And for me the most interesting part of this content release is the Iron Challenges for all Puny creatures. This means a lot of cheap game time for new players.


SETTLEMENT UPDATE

The vast majority of the outposts on Eudoria have been redesigned using modern assets.
Forests have been thinned out around the Fort Troy, East Scylla Mountains region.

BEACON MISSIONS

Beacon interiors have been enlarged and redesigned to improve playability.
Beacon robots have been renamed and rebalanced, they are now slightly tougher but not as many.
The number of storage container loot boxes in each Beacon has been increased to 21.
Storage container loot boxes are now randomly placed within the Beacon.
Real-time team member statistics display- damage, healing, kills, deaths, etc.
Timers have been adjusted in balance with the recent level design changes
Loot from unopened storage container loot boxes is now added to the storage container boxes in subsequent Beacon missions.
Each Beacon level now has its own unique end boss that guards a storage container loot box which holds a large part of the total loot for each Beacon mission.
Minimum number of players required to enter Beacon missions has been lowered from 4 to 2. Note that the recommended team size is a minimum of four players to complete Beacon missions effectively.
The number of checkpoints have been reduced in all Beacon missions.
