Greetings, Mercs!

Thank you all for your participation and support for ZOZ: Final Hour! We have received tons of valuable feedback and are all-hands-on-deck to improve your game experience. We will be undergoing maintenance soon. Please check the details below.

[Update Time & Method]

August 25, 10:00 - 12:00 Beijing Time (UTC +8).

Maintenance won't cause server interruptions, however, players will need to restart the game. Some features may be restricted during the maintenance period, so please keep an eye on in-game messages.

[Features & Fixes]

1. Increased Total Blood Crystal count. We found that the map's total Blood Crystal count affected players' experiences, so we've increased it from 12 to 15 in a single match, and have included a chance for 18 Blood Crystals to appear on the map. We hope to better manage player evacs by adjusting the Blood Crystal count.

2. Increased HP when dying. We found that Zombie mutations happened more quickly than anticipated, so we have increased required knockdowns by 2. We will keep collecting feedback regarding mutations, and look forward to your suggestions.

3. Balance Adjustments:

a) Tactical Gear:

MG Tower: Increased damage to humans from 6 to 10, increased hit rate. Targeted Assault: Increased damage to humans from 12 to 20. Airdrop Flare Gun: Reduced CD from 180s to 60s. Surgeon's Kit: Reduced CD to 60s, reduced cost to 50. Holographic Projector: Reduced cost to 150.

b) Components: Catwalk: Changed to be completely silent when crouching. Hasty Healing: Increased healing duration from 2s to 2.8s.

5. Optimized the comms system so it can now be used in the lobby. Now join the fight with your friends!

6. Simplified Merc bots. Reduced bot hit rates and HP to make it easier for new players.
