Patch 0.2.3.0 Now Live - Changelog #2

Hey, GZW Community,

Patch 0.2.3.0 is now live on the public branch. Download the update and dive in.

Thanks to your feedback, we quickly identified and fixed the issue with looting AI bodies in PvE mode. If you encounter any further problems, let us know!

This patch brings several key changes, including the first iteration of the highly requested repair system and fixes for numerous community-reported issues, such as AI improvements.


New Features & Balance Improvements

• Repair, Don't Replace
  Say goodbye to constantly swapping out damaged gear. Our new Repair Feature lets you restore your worn-out equipment at the FOB. Remember that every repair slightly reduces the item's maximum durability. Choose wisely and keep your best gear in fighting shape.
  
  
• Leveling Up with Vendors Made Easier
  We have made it smoother to build that crucial vendor progression. Now, selling items to vendors also earns you reputation points, not just buying. We have lowered the grind for Level 3 rep with Lab Rat, Artisan, Turncoat, and Banshee. Get those upgrades faster and stay mission-ready.
  
  
• Disconnection Protection
  Losing connection shouldn't mean losing your life. Now, if you disconnect, your character disappears to avoid unfair deaths. Reconnect within 5 minutes, and you will pick up exactly where you left off. Survival should depend on skill, not internet hiccups.
  
  
• Looting Made Smoother
  We have fine-tuned loot interactions, making grabbing those smaller, hard-to-click items easier. No more frustration when the prompt shows up, but the loot stays out of reach. If you see it, you can grab it.
  
  
• Dead Bodies, New Rules
  All dead bodies now stay on the map for 1 hour. If you die more than once, your older bodies will remain lootable for others—but you can only loot your latest body. The interaction widget will clearly show which body you should recover. Play smart, and don't leave valuable loot behind.
