Mutant Weekend by Dr_Gonzo of Hand of Fate is a Video of highlights from the mutant faction this past weekend. "Starring Dr_Gonzo and HoF_1UP_Champ int he super snazzy 1UP fire truck!" -Dr_Gonzo
Outpost Tokens - We're working on a system where it will be possible to get outpost tokens from PvP kills. Also, we're working on systems to integrate outpost captures and GZ population density into this system, to encourage players to not only kill each other but cap each others outposts. Also provide incentives NOT to afk or truce.
New Ground Zero Convoy Instance - I will leave the fictional specifics out for now, but there will be a new convoy only instance with extremely difficult and rewarding content. New loot will be available specifically off the boss(es) in this challenging map.
Arena and Tournament Rankings Web Page - This feature is coming along nicely. It also may not make Update 3, but it is coming together. We also hope to improve this to many other "leaderboards" and character pages in the future.
Race Arena - This also likely will not make Update 3 but it is nearly complete. It is a "pure race" arena map. Everyone will drive identical chassis in a long and challenging race map, with no guns, no skills, only pure driving skill.
Skill Tree Simulator Web Page - Work has been invested into a skill tree simulator so you can investigate different skill loadouts without respeccing in-game.
Taxi Missions - This also will not make Update 3 but we have a working system where you can take time out from missions and grinding and go on taxi missions on various highways. If we can tune this to be fun and challenging, it should provide an interesting driving game play diversion.
3 New 18th Level Convoy Instances - Near the end of each faction's region 1 highway will be new and challenging instance maps geared for convoy only play!
New Set of Outpost Token Store Items - We're adding additional items to purchase from the Outpost Token Store.
2 New Tiers of Enhancements and Better Broken Items - We're introducing two new tiers of enhancements for better broken items, experimentation and loot drops at high levels.
The above is just a partial list. Some are slated for Update 3 and others are longer term projects. Read the full list and join in the discussion in Soulie's Can we get another "in the works" update? thread!

- Using the 'stack' button when there are full stacks in inventory will no longer cause inventory de-syncs with the server.
- Experimenting on items without generating any additional enhancements should no longer alter the level, accuracy, or armor values of the item when crafted.
- Fix to medals that give stat awards/bonuses, such as the +16hp from the 1-Up medal - effect should now apply properly.
- The rollover in the medals window should properly display the effects given by the medal in green text underneath the description now. *Known Issue: If you swap vehicles in town, the effect will not appear to transfer to you new vehicle, but this is merely cosmetic and will display correctly after you zone.
- Inventory manipulation (picking up items, dropping them, etc) should not cause an inventory de-sync from the server.
- Several client and server crashes fixed.
- Fix for certain accounts that have been unable to save characters. NOTE: This publish will NOT cause disappeared characters to reappear. Affected players, please contact support with the character names you need restored.

Q: What is your favorite zone? A: Immolation is probably my favorite. That crazy Biomute epic quest hasn't made me sick of it, yet :p
Q: What is your favorite NPC? A: Lujuri. She's as twisted as they come.

Mangoacid, also known as Gumby on the Auto Assault forums, is pleased to announce the undertaking of a new project.
The Strategic Personnel Planner is an optimistic project to allow players to use a web-based application to build and plan their Auto Assault Character. The SPP will allow players to save time and clink by trying out the point expenditures without using the in-game respec feature. This has been a MUCH sought after feature by the game community, and Gamers Addiction decided to take up this project.
Instead of spending clink every 48 hours to respec, only to find that your idea wasn't what you thought, you'll be able to check out it's effects at NO COST!
Currently, Mangoacid is seeking assistance in populating this project. It's a massive undertaking, and the more people that get involved, the sooner it can be completed.
For more information, and to ask any questions or lend your assistance, just visit http://planner.gamers-addiction.net and register to the site. From there, join in the discussion and help test and build the program!
