• You can now visit the Killing Grounds from your car which is a new PvP arena area. Here you can fight other players without losing any resources, including health, ammo, nutrition and hydration. You can also travel to and from the arena for zero fuel cost.
  
• You can no longer be stunned from PvP attacks
  
• Dodge Duration has been temporarily removed from new loots
  
• Optic zombies now take damage even if the eye is only slightly open
  
• Colliders on your car were fixed (so you can shoot over it again)
  

• Leaderboard Player Kills now count both in MMO mode and public lobby games, but
• not* in private lobbies.
  
  
• Leaderboard Player Kills will no longer count if you keep killing the same person over and over in a row. You need to vary who you kill for the scores to keep counting.
  
  
• To gain a Boss Kill on the Leaderboard that boss must be no less than 25 levels lower than your character. This means a level 50 must kill only level 25+ bosses. So to ensure that
• all* bosses count at level 50, you should therefore be in level 40+ zones (since bosses can appear in areas up to 15 levels higher than themselves).
  
  
• Fixed a bug that stopped the Workbench spawning in various outposts
  
• Fixed a bug that caused menus to update incorrect after repairing armour
  
• Fixed a bug that stopped zombies spawning in solo mode
  
• Fixed various small bugs with entrance rooms
  

• There are now Leaderboards which rank players based on various stats such as Exp Gained, Loots Found, Missions Completed, Players Killed etc. Each Leaderboard is further split into Daily, Weekly, Monhtly and All Time competitions. The Daily, Weekly & Monthly competitions all provide crddits as a reward for coming 1st place.
  
  
• Credits can now be bought and sold for in-game cash. For further info on this decision please see here
  
  
  
• You can now visit a Noticeboard in all the outposts and instantly accept all missions there to save you some time finding all the NPCs
  
  
• There is a now Workbench objects in outposts which allows you to Rename your items and give them a nice shiny gold colour :) You can also access things like Crafting and armour repair from here.
  
  
• The flow of picking between various game types (mmo, lobby, single player) has been modified to make it easier to understand for newbies.
  
  
• You can now set aim sensitivity separately from mouse sensitivity in the settings menu.
  
  
• Loot rolls have been adjusted so that several unwanted stats types should no longer appear (find drink, find food etc). In addition some others have been down weighted so that they appear less often. I have done this in a way that attempts to balance the pools of available stats between equipment types. This should lead to better minimum rolls all round.
  
  
• The Exp Gained and Lockpick stats has been buffed to make them more useful again (Ie it now rolls to 50 instead of 25)
  
  
• Lockpick now caps at 75%.
  
  
• Fixed a bug that caused certain crafting items to drop far more often than they should have.
  
  
• Fixed a bug that sometimes caused long loading times when entering and leaving buildings.
  
  
• Fixed a bug that could cause you to change to the wrong instance after reviving in MMO mode.
  
  
• Submit and Cancel can now be changed again.
  
  
• There is a new steam launch option that allows you to revert to default settings (good for people who may have accidentally broken their control settings or graphics options)
  
  
• When you start the game and there is no connection to the server, you can now retry without needing to load the entire game again! :P
  

Tomorrow's Update

• Despite our best efforts, Dead Frontier 2 continues to have significant black market. This means that anyone with money can already buy pretty much whatever they want/need in the game. In fact, we recently estimated that black market sellers collectively earn more from the game than we do. Allowing credits to be traded will reduce demand for the black market, which will in turn help to reduce things like cheating/botting/account theft as the black market often drives these activities. It will also remove the need to ban players who would normally resort to buying these items as they can now get what they want legitimately.
  
  
• It will allow players who wouldn't normally be able to afford to purchase upgrades & cosmetics to save up for them by playing the game.
  
  
• It allows people with limited free time to have a chance at making decent progress in the game.
  
  
• I've come to realize that selling cosmetics exclusively is a great business strategy if you have a huge player base and gigantic resources, but it's not so great if you're a tiny indie developer with a niche game. It's simply not possible for us to make enough of these cosmetic items, quickly enough whilst still also getting gameplay updates out. For example it's taken Dobrin over a year and he's still got a way to go before he finishes our new cosmetic sets. Whilst I think you guys will like them when they are done, it will only lead to a very short lived spike in sales.
  
  
• At the moment Dead Frontier 2 does more than well enough for me to be working on it full time, but it's not at the level where I can really afford to hire other programmers just yet. Whilst this could be achieved with player base growth alone, I suspect it would take a long time with the current pace of updates. Allowing credit trading should allow me to hire someone in the near future, which in turn should accelerate the pace of updates.
