- State of the Game // Survival Mode - 24 June 2017
Hello everybody, for a while now you have only really heard from us in forum posts and via support tickets. Sorry for the lack of info. We owe you a long blog post to explain what is currently going on in the distillery. Here it is: Recap: The Last Months In the weeks and months after launching The Exiled into Steam Early access we updated the game with larger updates for each new Season and smaller hotfixes in between. We added some new content, we tweaked the game balance and we fixed bugs. We also experimented a bit with our Trial period, giving out extra trial days and even making the trial last for a full month-long season. But as anyone who can read a line chart can see, The Exiled does not currently have a large enough player base to sustain the game, let alone our development team. So in order to make up for the missing game revenue we had to do what all game developers do in su…

Please check out our list of known issues before playing and reporting bugs. This month a lot of our dev time was spent on upgrading the project to the latest version 5.6 of the Unity game engine powering the game client. This is going to improve performance for many players and fix a lot of smaller bugs with rendering. It will also make future development easier for us. Note: With Season #4 we are activating the trial period restriction again. So if you have played The Exiled for more than seven days you'll be required to purchase one of our three supporter packs to continue playing. https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/s…

- Season #2 is here!!! - 23 March 2017
Dear Players, Our Season #2 is starting and it brings a lot of fun with it! New Servers! BR - Papagayo EU - Mistral US - Hurricane New Features! Party System: You can now form parties with other players you meet in the game. That means you can share XP and see each other on the world map without having to be in the same clan (or any clan). Party members will also (like clan members) be preferred target for support abilities like heals. Diplomacy System: Clan leaders and managers can now add other clans to a "friend" and "enemy" lists. Clan members will then see those friend and enemy tags and be able to easily recognize your clan's status with another clan. These tags are NOT visible to anyone outside of your clan. They are one-directional (the other clan can choose a different status for you). The Healer: Added the Healer (Cloth) armor class to the game with lots of new abilities. The…
