After a less than successful launch, the survival MMO Last Oasis is now progressing well. The team has now released an update that presents you with even greater challenges.
What is this update about? Hard Maps introduces a new type of oasis into the game today, April 8th, following the failed launch of Last Oasis. After a large chunk of ice has melted, new areas have revealed themselves. As you hope to find valuable resources there, you set out for these oases.
However, you will face even tougher challenges than before. The new oases offer opportunities to unlock higher technology tiers, which allow you to create additional walkers and more powerful equipment. And this is very important in the deadly world of Last Oasis.
The old criticism remains
Does the update fix the issues with gankers? Last Oasis struggles with the problem that newcomers are attacked directly by stronger players upon entry. This is called ganking. This is something that has been criticized since the launch and which MeinMMO author Benedict Grothaus noted in his preview report. PvP is one of the major pillars of online gaming.
However, you shouldn’t expect a significant change in this regard. On the contrary. The situation could even worsen due to an adjustment in the kill feed. The kill feed now only shows kills from your clan or kills against your clan after the update. Gankers are no longer taken into account. This means you will no longer receive hints about where potential gankers may be. This is likely to make adventures in Last Oasis significantly more difficult.
What else does the update offer? In addition to the new oases and ruins as well as resources, the Hard Maps update for Last Oasis includes a number of bug fixes.
Explore dangerous ruins
What can you expect from the new oases? You will explore ruins and mysterious buildings. There, you can find valuable rewards or fight your way through a maze in search of loot.
During your exploration tours, you will find the new resources you need to craft better equipment. However, some of these resources can also be discovered scattered around in the regular world.
What plans do the developers have for the future? The team behind the Steam hit Last Oasis has stated that a major patch is already in the works, bringing with it some significant gameplay improvements. A new type of walker will also be introduced into the game. Players can look forward to some new features.
