Here's a preview of 0.8.2.2.
The first part of 0822 will be released to our early access supporters (Tier4+) later this week.
THE PALACE
Entering The Palace requires the MC to have reached the rank of Nobleman, either through quests or with a very high Influence (15-20,000).
The Palace District will eventually feature three locations:
- The Orient. A middle Eastern-style luxury restaurant/night club. Here, our MC can dine and be entertained - similar to The Golden Dragon. A dinner at The Orient might end up costing him $5,000 if he orders a pre-Severance wine bottle.
- The Transit Department. A storage facility filled with all sorts of interesting stuff that you can "borrow" if you have enough influence.
- Old City Hall. Ikaanos' high courthouse and administration building. A crumbling, Victorian-inspired castle that houses the mayor's office and the Ikaanian ministers. Will eventually offer a political mini-game location that the MC can use to score benefits, enable special interactions or unlock unique features.
EQUIPMENT
- H.U.L.C. armor. A pre-severance utility suit that offers very high protection (Soak 50).
- The Grenade Launcher. A new weapon that introduces AoE – enabling you to hit multiple targets in one attack.
- Many other cool items and artifacts purchasable at The Transit Department.
AISHA HASAN
0.8.2.2 is not all high-tech weapons and fancy palaces, however; there's also a new slave coming -
Aisha Hasan.
Aisha is a devout Muslim, even if she has a rather "bratty" personality after growing up in a lavish home at one of the fanciest streets in the palace district. She also features a dynamic wardrobe based on her current religion, wearing a hijab for her casuals and formal attires as long as she maintains the Muslim faith.
0.8.2.2 Alpha also features a long list of bugfixes, tweaks and other additions.
