This free content update is available to all players and brings many improvements and enhancements, as well as introducing additional game types and maps to the world of FURY.
Auran CEO, Tony Hilliam, explains: "We set out with the goal of making FURY fast and fun for all players. The Age of the Chosen add-on focuses on helping new players prepare for the furious action as well as introducing a host of features requested by our hardcore fans. Feedback from new players was that the pacing was too fast and confusing. To remedy this and help players grow into the game, we created the 'Carnage' game type. Carnage pits two teams of four players in indirect competition where the focus is killing bots to earn points rather than simply smashing your opponents into submission. We've also improved the tutorial and created practice areas where players can spend time getting used to FURY’s uniquely fast paced combat."
"We've also made a number of changes to combat by increasing player survivability, lengthening the decision making time and increasing combat feedback. Furthermore, and in direct response to player's requests, we've made significant improvements to all items in the game. Tiers and rarity will be more meaningful and there will be greater incentives to choose higher Tier armor. This of course means players can spend even more time tweaking their favorite Incarnation to keep within our 1000 Equip Point limit."
"FURY has always been about player skill over button mashing and we think players will really enjoy the improvements to the combat system", said Cameron McNeil, Lead Systems Designer. "We've also made a number of changes to the Sanctarum vendors, improved the User Interface and added a ton of bug fixes and polish to the game. We are looking forward to a large number of our customers and free trial players checking out the changes as we continue towards our goal of making FURY the Number One PvP game in the world."
The list of changes include:
- New 'Carnage' game type with three maps.
- 1 v 1 Elimination game type with four maps.
- Improved tutorial.
- Streamlined interface.
- NPC number and placement changes.
- Rebalanced and improved equipment system.
- Combat mechanics changes.
- Improved combat feedback.
- Bugs fixes, performance improvements and general polish.
