Forums News & Updates The Surge: Developer Updates

Npc — He/Him Posted 6 years ago ( 2018/08/8 20:56:30 )


Hey good lookin', miss me? It's Spark here once again, transmitting live from Voltra Tower to bring you the latest and greatest in news from our beautiful city. And let me tell you folks, Voltra's been going under some amazing renovations. Let's explore what's new!

__________________________________________________

Tab Addition

You know those fun little things you can fiddle with and open up to get more things? Yeah, I pay attention when my siblings are crafting stuff!

Well good news folks, they have a new home in your inventory! To better organize your collection, the "Consumables" tab as now been added.

This includes orbs, crates, and goodie bags... Anything that can be opened or used outside of equipping! Speaking of...

__________________________________________________

Goodie Bags!

You all remember goodie bags right? Those expensive, mysterious little items that get released at the end of every event? Well the wait is over people, they're now live and ready to be opened! YEP that's right!

Each goodie bag can be opened, and you can select one (1) item from that goodie bag's event to be added to your inventory!

I also hear moving forward, this feature will be available in future goodie bag's once its respective event has concluded.

If you'd like to see a catalogue of past goodie bags and the items within them, check out our Item Museum's 2017 and 2018 exhibits!

Trade History

You asked for it, you got it! You can now easily manage your finances and reference past interactions with the newly added Trade History feature! With the simple click of a button, you can view what you've traded, who you've traded with, and when it happened!



__________________________________________________

Ignore Feature

You know, I love each and every one of you deeply and unconditionally. But I'm also aware there's some people who just don't click, especially with Voltra's ever expanding population. Now, I'd love if we could all just work out our differences and get along, but even a guy like me knows that sometimes that's just not an option.

So after much demand, Voltra's officially rolling out a brand-spanking new blocking feature! If there's a user that you just can't get along with and you want to avoid conflict, this might be the option for you. Of course, if they're actively harassing you or breaking the rules, the moderators are the first people who you should turn to! They have your back and want to keep Voltra safe.

But in a situation where no rules are broken and the only way to maintain the peace is to part ways? This might be your go-to option. Remember, it's on all of us as Volties to keep our community inviting, safe, and enjoyable for all.

This is a lot of power being put into your hands, so use it responsibly alright? Make me proud.



__________________________________________________

Themes

Now onto a lighter topic, let's talk about beautifying our city, people!

Voltra now has theme options! For those of you out there that can't handle the brightness like I can, you can now choose to toggle on the newly improved "Blackout" theme under "Settings". Ugh, I don't know why you'd want to though, I heard it's crawling with imps and agents... If any of them cause you trouble, come to me! I'll handle them!

Ahem... Sorry I lost track of this announcement! Moving on! Right now there's only two options, but with time this catalogue of themes will grow! I've been told themes will be inspired by upcoming Voltra events, how exciting. Be sure to keep an eye out.

(Note: Due to some design updates with the website navigation, some updates to personalized profile CSS may be necessary.)

__________________________________________________

Emojis

To help celebrate the release of this new theme, special Blackout emojis have also been added to the roster. Enjoy!

__________________________________________________

Front Page Update

You may have noticed some blurriness in our beautiful Voltra landscape. Not anymore! It should fit crystal clear to any size monitor. Cool!

Coming Soon
Common Surge (August 15th)
Plasma Orbs (August 25th)
Voltra's First Year Anniversary (Sept 1)

__________________________________________________

A huge shout out to Hazer for all these updates that he's been firing out, and to the rest of our lovely development team for all their hard work building our city. I can't wait to see what you have coming out next for us!

And a special thank you for tuning in once again, my friends. Until next time, be sure to have fun, be safe, and look out for each other.

Love you Voltra! Spark out!

There is something haunting in the light of the moon;
It has all the dispassionateness of a disembodied soul, and something of its inconceivable mystery.
