The developers of the survival hit Enshrouded have spoken about the upcoming update 8 in a new video. There will be significant changes for equipment and skills.
What are the developers planning? For their next major update, number 8, the developers of Enshrouded have a lot in store. In a new video on YouTube, they shared their vision for the different playstyles with which one can progress through the game.
They want to create a kind of class fantasy without strictly defining classes. Similar to Path of Exile 2, the playstyles will come together through equipment and skill points. The new talent tree is structured like a starry sky and can be freely filled out by the players.
With the update, the developers want a player who chooses warrior and tank abilities, thanks to special equipment, to be able to endure significantly more than someone who, for example, wears warrior combat gear. However, the devs will need to make extensive changes for this.
Here you can watch a trailer for Enshrouded:
New understanding of classes
How is this to be achieved? To enable the new understanding of classes and playstyles in Enshrouded, the developers are heavily relying on the armors in the game in their update. While players could only improve weapons until now, from update 8 onwards, this will also be possible with armors, shields, and rings.
Moreover, the rarity level of items will be important. Although the base values do not change – a normal armor is just as strong at the beginning as a legendary one – the legendary armor will have many more upgrade slots and perks in the future that can strengthen the character.
Those who already have a full inventory of armor can rejoice: old gear can be dismantled starting from the update to receive runes. However, those in need of new gear will have to go to the right craftsman after the update. The blacksmith will forget how to handle wands with the update, and the mage will no longer have any knowledge of bows. Therefore, upgrades will only be available at the right NPC.
What changes are there regarding skills? A lot! The developers are adding new levels to various skills, making it easier to access certain abilities. The skill tree is also being expanded and changed. For example, the double jump can now be found right at the start, making the survival hit more enjoyable to play.
Because of so many shifts and changes, the developers are resetting all skill trees with the update. Therefore, you will need to create a new build upon first logging in.
The new levelable skills can also be enhanced beyond their limits by equipping the right perks on your gear. Due to the new formula for damage calculation, the values of skills and armors will also change.
That the developers of their game are moving more towards Path of Exile and that players can create their own character based on equipment and skills is an exciting innovation. However, the developers from Frankfurt have even more in store with their update: Enshrouded: The survival hit from Frankfurt makes you much more powerful in the update, but your opponents as well
