Flagship has released the patch notes for tonight's patch, which also includes a host of updates and fixes (including enabling Elite mode for non-subscribers!) coming in alongside the Guy Fawkes content. They apparently realise the need to have bug fixes as well as content updates, which is good news for their fans.
Here is a few highlights:
"Graphics
* Overall memory usage improved, especially in Stations. This increases client stability, reducing "memory exhausted" crash issues.
Engineer
* Drones stats/items now save on logout.
* Drones now properly receive Armor and Shields when equipped with armor using the Armor Retrofit skill."
Before Flagship Studios, there was Blizzard North. Originally known as Condor, the Redwood-based studio was acquired in 1997 by Blizzard Entertainment. At the time, Blizzard North was hard at work on the development of the game that would be the cornerstone of everything that came after: Diablo.
IGN : Remember Hellgate: London? The dark fantasy action role-playing game came out in 2007 for PC, a year before developer Flagship Studios went bankrupt. Since then, various free-to-play and online revivals have come and gone. Now, 17 years after the release of Hellgate: London, it’s back.
I remember some friends and I all bought Hellgate: London day one because it was made by some original Diablo devs. We had fun playing it, good memories.
PC Invasion: Hellgate: London is back on Steam, but it's not what you expect it to be. It's a single-player game in the vein of Asian MMOs.
Used mirror link, as the HGL forum is closed for non-players.
