1.6 Patch Notes 28.07.2010

Thillian

Quarantine





A plague has wiped out the peaceful Gorillas of Monkeytown. Alpha Titus is looking for clones to uncover the origins of the lethal disease while the Techs and Vistas try to clean up the area and prevent the plague from transitioning from simian to human.



Quarantine adds all new missions, with an instance for level 30, 40 and 50 and a repeatable town event with new item rewards



Vehicle Color Customization





Want to give your wasteland wheels that true personal touch? Using the garage manager and paint kits that are crafted or found in the expansive wilds of Fallen Earth, you can create your own signature color combination. All vehicles can be painted with the exception of Promotional Vehicles.



Minor Respec





Unspend 5 AP to adjust your character's stats and skills. These special Recombinant Injectors are available on level-appropriate Mutagenics merchants throughout the Province.



PvP Flagging





It's now possible to flag for PvP combat anywhere you want in the world of Fallen Earth!



New Extended Tutorial





After completing the main tutorial, players arriving in their starter towns will discover a new action-driven series of missions that serve as an extended tutorial. You'll be thrown right into the fight against deadly bandits and thugs threatening the LifeNet regen pods. Through the course of the mission series, you'll learn some useful skills and earn your first horse!



Clan Wars





Added a new effect called Clan Wars Immunity for when players are killed during a Clan War. This effect is visible to players, removable, and only lasts 3 minutes. When a player is killed three times in a row, they become an invalid Clan War target until it expires or the player removes the effect by right-clicking on it.



World PvP Flag





Now players are able to flag for PvP anywhere in the wasteland. Enable this by typing /pvp in the chat bar.

Vehicles will now travel at an increased rate of speed while on road surfaces.

Bought the game on Steam but havn't created a new account to jump back into the game yet. I never did get far on my old account so I'm not fussed about losing my character. Whos coming back with this patch? Some nice changes it looks like.

 Played the recent trial and didnt get far. Liked the crafting portion of the game. Im not a FPS but can get around that if enough of the game is entertaining. Im not really a PVPer and I still manage to enjoy EVE immensely. With these updates, I may give the game a go, although I am concerned about AA developement. The respec seems to address that to some degree. How often can they be used?
