| − | == Saturday, June 27th, 2020 == |
||
| − | === Client Update V46 === |

| − | Rather than delaying this update further, I've made the tough decision to take the previously teased Bandits for this update and roll them over to the next update so they can be properly balanced and fleshed out. Everything else is present. Thanks for understanding. |

||
| + | Other changes: https://fairview.deadfrontier.com/onlinezombiemmo/index.php?topic=944778 |
||
| − | ====General==== |
||
| − | * As most of you may have noticed, NPCs occasionally spawn on boss blocks to help lower levels kill it. |
||
| − | * You can now shoot through players when PvP is off. |
||
| − | * You can cycle through weapons with scroll wheel. |
||
| + | ==Sunday, July 4th, 2021== |
||
| − | ====Zed Balancing==== |
||
| − | * Greatly decreased how often random aggro spikes occur. |
||
| − | * Blood Hounds no longer spawn until just after Precinct 13 / Fort Pastor. |
||
| − | * Green Rumblers and Flesh Hounds spawn rates have been halved. |
||
| − | * Green Rumblers now have a green fume effect around them. |
||
| − | * Irradiated Rumblers and Long Arms are brighter. |
||
| − | * Blood overlay texture for low health zeds has been made more transparent. |
||
| + | There's been some confusion around the way I worded my last post surrounding the Dawn weapons. No new Dawn (or Dusk / X-Dusk) weapons are going to get added. With that said, I am looking at balancing them out. I'm avoiding giving them a damage buff and aiming for a unique mechanic that makes them stand out. |
||
| − | ====Level Design and Prop Changes==== |
||
| − | * You can shoot through the wheelchair props now. |
||
| − | * Also added experimental physics on the wheelchairs, this won't sync over multiplayer yet. |
||
| − | * The top right court has been opened up in the military arena. |
||
| − | * Removed doorways to access bunker interior stairs so dealing with aggro is easier. |
||
| − | * Opened up the barricaded room on the 2nd floor of the bunker interior. |
||
| − | * Opened up the holding cells on the 2nd floor of the bunker interior. |
||
| − | * Opened up the second holding area / cage on the 3rd floor of the bunker interior. |
||
| − | * Added more doorways to move through in the hospital interior to improve loot run flow. |
||
| − | * Redesigned some of the rooms in the hospital interior for variety. |
||
| − | * Holding cells in police stations are now open. |
||
| + | Currently, I'm experimenting by giving them the ability to ignore PvE armour on infected (this includes shields) as well as some capacity increases. Armoured infected are more common in Death Row, so this should make Dawn weapons quite powerful and versatile in this end-game area without direct power scaling. For the Dawn Melee and Chainsaw weapons, the current idea is to lower their melee proficiency requirements to 0. This should enable a lot more players to be able to enjoy these weapons as even most end-game players do not have high enough melee proficiency to utilize them. |
||
| − | ====Settings / UI==== |
||
| − | * Opening a menu now takes 5 seconds instead of 10. |
||
| − | * Closing a menu no longer draws aggro to you. |
||
| − | * Gold Members now have a gold name above their heads and in chat. |
||
| − | * Clan names under player names have been made a little brighter to be easier to read. |
||
| − | * Players that share a clan with you are now cyan on the minimap if they have PvP off. |
||
| − | * Toggling PvP on timer was lowered from 30 seconds to 10 seconds. |
||
| − | * Toggling PvP off timer was lowered from 30 seconds to 15 seconds. |
||
| − | * Toggling PvP on has been changed to bright orange instead of yellow, and PvP being toggled off is now a dark orange. |
||
| − | * Enlarged Minimap now shows a list of players in your instance when in multiplayer. |
||
| − | * Enlarged Minimap coordinates now update real*time and was reverted back to the server position numbers. |
||
| − | * Enlarged Minimap text now changes to the trade zone name in the Inner City or arena's name if you're in the arena. |
||
| − | * Added a button to the Main Menu for Instance Following and renamed it to "Join a Friend" to help new players. |
||
| − | * Target FPS can now only be lowered to 30 FPS. |
||
| − | * (AFK) tag in chats was moved next to the players name instead. |
||
| − | * Crosshair Customization has been moved to the settings menu. |
||
| + | This is all subject to change during the testing period I mentioned in the previous post as I gather feedback. That said, some of these changes may go live before the update is out (stat-wise, not mechanic-wise). Due to the confusing wording, I just wanted to clarify what the plans around these weapons were. |
||
| − | ====Instancing==== |
||
| − | * Changed instance soft user cap from 8 to 12. |
||
| − | * Changing instances now favors instances with more people in them. |
||
| − | * Changing instances now favors players on your buddy list. |
||
| + | Thanks. |
||
| − | ====Bug Fixes==== |
||
| + | -- Clayton |
||
| − | * Zombies that despawn while critical health with the blood overlay will now respawn with the blood overlay. |
||
| − | * Zombies should spawn inside objects less often. |
||
| − | * Fire particle effects should now be the appropriate sound volume based on your settings when loading a new area. |
||
| − | * Another attempt at fixing the loot marker position on the minimap for enemies that die with tons of knockback. |
||
| − | * Fixed Devil Hounds occasionally causing security errors. |
||
| − | * Leaving the Enlarged Minimap open when transitioning areas should no longer occasionally disconnect you from multiplayer. |
||
| − | * Fixed a bug that caused starvation damage not to apply in the Inner City. |
||
| + | ==Thursday, July 1st, 2021== |
||
| − | ====Optimizations==== |
||
| + | ===Development Update #2=== |
||
| − | * Should get more FPS and fewer (or less impactful) hitches while playing. |
||
| + | Hey @everyone, I have a quick progress update regarding this upcoming Death Row SEZ revamp. I'm working hard to catch up and get this update out to you guys on July 19th. |
||
| − | * Loading areas is a lot more snappy. |
||
| + | Besides some environmental bits for Death Row, just about everything is complete. I will be doing a test period with a group of players to help find bugs and finalize stats on the new 120 weapons, Dawn weapons, Death Row infected / bosses, new variants of current bosses, and the SEZ loot pool that will start in a little over a week. |
||
| − | ====Discord Rich Presence==== |
||
| − | Note: Discord Rich Presence is only featured in the standalone client. Also, if you run Discord as an administrator you will need to also run DF as an administrator. |

||
| − | * Displays your area (inner city, wastelands, outpost name, and interior name) and in*game coordinates. |

||
| − | * Displays if you're in an outpost attack, fighting a boss, or in a mission zone. |
||
| + | * Death Row area mechanics (tougher infected spawning during aggro spikes, obscured minimap vision, and menu opening restrictions). '''Complete''' |
||
| + | * Death Row infected and bosses. '''Complete''' |
||
| + | * Death Row environmental touch-up. (eta 1 week) |
||
| + | * Testing and balancing. Release notes will be much more detailed and include everything not listed above. |
||

| + | ===Dead Frontier 1: 2021 Development Update=== |
||
| − | ===Mesh Armor Buff=== |
||
| + | Alright, it's time to talk about what I have been working on. Things are still being developed but I will release more details later on and answer questions or address concerns as they pop up. Here is a basic overview. |
||
| − | [[File:Mesh buff.png|right]] |
||
| − | All [[Non-Strength Armour]]s (aka Meshes) have been given a +5% speed boost (which stacks with drugs and implant boosts) in order to make Meshes more attractive to late game players. [[Strength Armour]]s (aka Reactives) are unaffected. |
||
| + | Traditionally we would expand the map more to the right side, adding a lot of space. This time I want to put more focus on making better use of existing space. We have a large map but not a whole lot to do in it. This means revamping current areas (and infected) to feel unique and turning low traffic areas into points of interest. |
||
| − | == Thrusday, June 18th, 2020 == |
||
| − | I'm aware that it's been some time since the last DF1 update, I'm working on getting it out ASAP. In the meantime... here are some snippets of what's to come. All the details on everything that was added or changed will be released when the update is finished. |
||
| + | The scope of this varies from idea to idea and area to area but starts with the largest being a South End Zone revamp. A hellscape created by experimented on infected locked away, now releasing into Fairview. |
||
| − | * New Bandit type enemies. |
||
| + | ====The Plan==== |
||
| − | * New points of interests throughout the Wastelands. |
||
| + | SEZ is supposed to be the go-to place for looting. While it does indeed have better drop rates, NEZ has an uncontended convenience factor. The aim is to create a looting-based equivalent of the Wastelands. So what are the goals for this area? |
||
| − | * New zed variations. |

| − | ===Need A Help?=== |
||
| + | # Restoring some of that "jackpot" feeling to finding rare loot without restricting loot spot counts. High-risk, high-reward. |
||
| − | We have received confirmation that all outpost leaders, likely in an attempt to reduce survivor casualty and to scout out for the unidentified threat mentioned by Precinct 13, have agreed to send soldier squads to blocks with possible presence of boss zombies. When you enter a boss block, you might have a good chance of encountering one of these squads, so watch out! |
||
| + | # Utilizing the crafting system in a way that allows us to introduce new content that doesn't abandon older content. |
||
| + | # A dark and gory atmosphere. |

||
| + | ====Weapons==== |
||
| − | == Sunday, May 24th, 2020 == |
||
| + | We're working on a new lootable weapon set that can only be obtained by looting this revamped SEZ. These new weapons will have crafting recipes with high requirements (existing 120s, devil hearts, etc), but more excitingly, we're adding in the chance to loot them already assembled and complete. |
||
| − | ===[[Character Build Guide]] Reopening=== |
||
| + | ====Infected==== |
||
| − | After 2 months of reworking, we are happy to announce that the Character Build Guide is now once again open. |
||
| + | I am taking some inspiration from "Death Row" that existed in the DF2D era and adding a Secronom twist on it. One of the first things I am borrowing is some of the infected. We are introducing DF3D remix versions of the Crow (and its ability to fly over objects), Red Longarms, Green Longarms, and.. a few surprises. I'll show more of them later on. :) |
||
| + | ====Twists==== |
||
| − | == Wednesday, May 14th, 2020 == |
||
| + | There are currently some experimental area-specific features, twists in the works. This includes turning it into a "dark zone" where minimap visibility is obscured, needing to clear the area around you of infected before being able to open a menu manually, and hardcore aggro spikes where buffed variants of the areas infected spawn (similar to old hardcore events but during the aggro spike duration). I will keep you guys updated on my progress with this area revamp! |
||
| − | The commander of Fort Pastor has seen fit to send some of his men to aid the Precinct's polices in intercepting a new, mysterious threat originating from the Wasteland. For now, the threat remains unidentified and none has managed to encounter it directly; maximum caution is advised. |
||
| + | ====Boss Variants==== |
||
| − | [[File:Weird CB 14-05-2020.png]] |
||
| + | Finally, this next addition isn't directly related to the SEZ revamp but will be included in the update. I am adding more variations, like the current "flaming" variation, to existing bosses starting with some ideas inspired by DF2. At the moment this includes charred and irradiated but will be expanded to a few more. These will introduce slight mechanic and stat variations to mix things up a little. |

||
| − | From today onwards, missions, OAs and boss cycles will run constantly throughout the entire day with only 10 minutes of "void time" between 7:55am and 8:05am AM UTC. |
||
| + | ===Beginning of a New Era?=== |
||
| + | Today was an unusual day in Fairview: from the northern reaches of Secronom Bunker down to the furthest of the Wasteland, the sky is covered in a thick, mysterious red fog that blotted out the sun and seemingly caused the infected to be more aggressive than usual. |
||
| + | After 9 days of chaos, the "Bunny Man" has finally decided to end the chase himself, by broadcasting his final coordinate across the entire city and inviting everyone for a talk. |

| + | Following the coordinates, our scouts made contact with an individual who introduced himself as Dr. Peters, a member of the cult that wrecked havoc on the city this Easter, seemingly leading to the wild chase that left the Commander MIA and the Secronom crew scrambling to apprehend him. He warned us of a facility located somewhere in the city that the Commander and Dr. Adler tried their best to seal away (along with whatever unfortunate survivors trapped within), currently being barely secured by an emergency power system that's about to give way, and containing unimaginable things that threaten to send Fairview into what he can only describe as "the outbreak all over again." |

||
| + | Whatever he's talking about, it seems that this facility is the cause behind the red fog that is currently suffocating the city in darkness. Our best hope is for the fog to clear once the season changes, and our forces be as well armed as possible to whether what's ahead. |

| − | ===WIKI UPDATE: WEAPON DPS CORRECTION, WORK-IN-PROGRESS CHARACTER BUILD GUIDE REVAMP=== |
||
| + | --Barney |
||
| − | A brief update on the situation regarding the recent changes in weapon DPS shown on the wiki, plus some other things: |
||
| + | ==Friday, February 19th, 2021== |
||
| − | * This point has been announced on the official DF forum for a while now, but I have neglected to post on the wiki news section: Recent testing regarding weapon fire rates with the help of Clayton himself, in addition to confirming the discrepancy between in-game and "theoretical" fire rate, has found a consistent pattern among the disparity which causes all weapons to consistently take 2 frames of animation more than needed (in a 60FPS counter) to fire each shot. <br/><br/> As a result, all weapon now displays their "actual" firerate and DPS by default (with the "theoretical" numbers accessible for reference by hovering over the "actual" number). This hopefully should help bring the reader's expectation to be closer to the weapon's actual in-game performance. |
||
| + | ===UPDATE: GM Tickets, Improved Mission Rewards and EAS Changes=== |
||
| + | * You can now buy Gold Membership from the Credit Shop, which means that players that have issues making online payments can still earn GM. |
||
| − | * Critical DPS for all machine guns have been fixed once again, due to errors regarding base DPS being multiplied by the wrong number to get them. Unlike the previous part, this fix will apply to both "actual" and "theoretical" numbers, and is going to heavily affect SMGs in particular; expect to see a 5.3% decrease in shown DPS for those guns. |
||
| + | * Mission rewards now scale with your level up to +900% EXP and +50% Cash for 220+ players |
||
| + | * EAS has been improved so that it won't ask you to re-authenticate so often if you have a variable IP |
||
| + | * EAS is now mandatory for all accounts of level 50+ |
||
| + | * Aggro during bosses has been slightly increased |
||
| + | * Number of boss spots has been increased (starting tomorrow) |
||
| + | --AdminPwn |
||
| − | * With the recent update, Miniguns are now capable of performing critical hits. The wiki has been updated with critical DPS numbers for those weapons, which will also take into account the fact that Miniguns only apply critical damage to 1 instead of all pellets for their critical shot. |
||
| + | [[File:goldmembershipticket.png|center]] |
||
| − | * Additionally, several late-game HMGs have also been discovered to actually use the 2% Minigun critical chance, while the XLGunner-8 uses the 4% HMG critical chance instead. All weapons of the former category will now show '''Very Low (Minigun)''' Critical Chance on their section, to aid differentiation. |
||
| + | ==Tuesday, January 26th, 2021== |
||
| + | ===Fanart: Zombie Battle=== |
||
| + | Check out this epic piece of DF fan artwork! It was created by Rally and his friend, and took over 160 hours to complete. |
||
| + | This is gonna be my new desktop wallpaper |
||
| − | * [[Bosses]] have been brought from their original place in the Bestiary page to their separate one; this will allow space for explanation of specific mechanics, like boss cycle and Devil Hounds. |
||
| + | --AdminPwn |
||
| − | * Lastly, I am proud to announce that the [[Character Build Guide]] is finally going under a massive rework, after several years of being unfinished and badly outdated. Expect more things to come in about 2 weeks or so. |

||
| − | Source: [https://fairview.deadfrontier.com/onlinezombiemmo/index.php?topic=936111.0] |
||
| + | * Outpost Attacks now happen at predictable times, every 4.5 hours starting at reset. |
||
| + | * Improved on lootable ragdolls teleporting in bounds. |
||
| + | * Fixed a bug that didn't allow players to interact with lootable objects if in PvP mode. |
||
| + | * Fixed a bug where the Wastelands would increase game brightness the more you moved through instances. |
||
| + | * Fixed a bug where you couldn't scroll world map if you opened it while world map snippet was toggled on for the minimap. |
||
| + | * Fixed a bunch of flickering textures, unreachable loot spots, and places players would get stuck. |
||
| + | * Fixed a minor issue with the Discord Rich Presence not adding a space between the zone name and coordinate. |
||
| + | * Reverted changes done to prevent loot progress resets with moving players and zombies. |
||
| + | ** This should help with zombies and players popping through walls as often as they were. |
||
| + | * Reverted a change done that aimed to prevent additional non-lootable bosses from spawning after killing them. |
||
| + | ** This should help with the inconsistent amount of lootable boss bodies players have been experiencing since last update. |
||
| + | ** This unfortunately does mean that the original bugs will be present again until we can find a better way to address them. |
||
| + | I've begun work on things outside of this but we're not quite ready to talk about it yet and would like to wait until some of our discussions and ideas are more set in stone. Until then: https://youtu.be/dQw4w9WgXcQ |
||
| − | '''TL;DR:''' |
||
| − | * New arena maps (one outdoors), old arena maps tweaked, and arena combat tag added. |
||
| − | * Loot markers on minimap for boss and mission zombie lootable bodies. |
||
| − | * Walking through other players in Inner City. |
||
| − | * QoL changes for in-game HUD. |
||
| − | * Damage numbers and firearm tracer settings added. |
||
| − | * Chat while AFK. |
||
| − | * Bug fixes. |
||
| + | --Clayton |
||
| − | '''Bug Fixes:''' |
||
| − | * All zombies should show damaged state at 20% or lower health, including spiders. ''This one is for you ShadowMage.'' |
||
| − | * Firearms that shoot multiple projectiles (excluding shotguns) now roll critical hits as intended. |
||
| − | * Firearms that shoot multiple projectiles had their accuracy cones/directions fixed. |
||
| − | * ADDENDUM[3/18/20]: Shotguns and Miniguns have had their spread reduced by 50% so that their overall DPS should be similar to how they were before the spread bug was fixed in the last update. |

There's been some confusion around the way I worded my last post surrounding the Dawn weapons. No new Dawn (or Dusk / X-Dusk) weapons are going to get added. With that said, I am looking at balancing them out. I'm avoiding giving them a damage buff and aiming for a unique mechanic that makes them stand out.
Currently, I'm experimenting by giving them the ability to ignore PvE armour on infected (this includes shields) as well as some capacity increases. Armoured infected are more common in Death Row, so this should make Dawn weapons quite powerful and versatile in this end-game area without direct power scaling. For the Dawn Melee and Chainsaw weapons, the current idea is to lower their melee proficiency requirements to 0. This should enable a lot more players to be able to enjoy these weapons as even most end-game players do not have high enough melee proficiency to utilize them.
This is all subject to change during the testing period I mentioned in the previous post as I gather feedback. That said, some of these changes may go live before the update is out (stat-wise, not mechanic-wise). Due to the confusing wording, I just wanted to clarify what the plans around these weapons were.
Thanks. -- Clayton

Development Update #2
Hey @everyone, I have a quick progress update regarding this upcoming Death Row SEZ revamp. I'm working hard to catch up and get this update out to you guys on July 19th.
Besides some environmental bits for Death Row, just about everything is complete. I will be doing a test period with a group of players to help find bugs and finalize stats on the new 120 weapons, Dawn weapons, Death Row infected / bosses, new variants of current bosses, and the SEZ loot pool that will start in a little over a week.
- 10 new 120 weapons that can be crafted or found pre-assembled. Complete
- Dusk / X-Dusk, Dawn, and new 120 weapon models. (Thanks to JustThatDude) Complete
- New armour penetration (PvE) stat for some weapons. Complete - Smoldering, Irradiated, and Black variants of current bosses. Complete
- Death Row area mechanics (tougher infected spawning during aggro spikes, obscured minimap vision, and menu opening restrictions). Complete
- Death Row infected and bosses. Complete
- Death Row environmental touch-up. (eta 1 week)
- Testing and balancing. Release notes will be much more detailed and include everything not listed above.
Thank you for your patience.

Dead Frontier 1: 2021 Development Update
Alright, it's time to talk about what I have been working on. Things are still being developed but I will release more details later on and answer questions or address concerns as they pop up. Here is a basic overview.
Traditionally we would expand the map more to the right side, adding a lot of space. This time I want to put more focus on making better use of existing space. We have a large map but not a whole lot to do in it. This means revamping current areas (and infected) to feel unique and turning low traffic areas into points of interest.
The scope of this varies from idea to idea and area to area but starts with the largest being a South End Zone revamp. A hellscape created by experimented on infected locked away, now releasing into Fairview.
The Plan
SEZ is supposed to be the go-to place for looting. While it does indeed have better drop rates, NEZ has an uncontended convenience factor. The aim is to create a looting-based equivalent of the Wastelands. So what are the goals for this area?
- Restoring some of that "jackpot" feeling to finding rare loot without restricting loot spot counts. High-risk, high-reward.
- Utilizing the crafting system in a way that allows us to introduce new content that doesn't abandon older content.
- A dark and gory atmosphere.
Weapons
We're working on a new lootable weapon set that can only be obtained by looting this revamped SEZ. These new weapons will have crafting recipes with high requirements (existing 120s, devil hearts, etc), but more excitingly, we're adding in the chance to loot them already assembled and complete.
Infected
I am taking some inspiration from "Death Row" that existed in the DF2D era and adding a Secronom twist on it. One of the first things I am borrowing is some of the infected. We are introducing DF3D remix versions of the Crow (and its ability to fly over objects), Red Longarms, Green Longarms, and.. a few surprises. I'll show more of them later on. :)
Twists
There are currently some experimental area-specific features, twists in the works. This includes turning it into a "dark zone" where minimap visibility is obscured, needing to clear the area around you of infected before being able to open a menu manually, and hardcore aggro spikes where buffed variants of the areas infected spawn (similar to old hardcore events but during the aggro spike duration). I will keep you guys updated on my progress with this area revamp!
Boss Variants
Finally, this next addition isn't directly related to the SEZ revamp but will be included in the update. I am adding more variations, like the current "flaming" variation, to existing bosses starting with some ideas inspired by DF2. At the moment this includes charred and irradiated but will be expanded to a few more. These will introduce slight mechanic and stat variations to mix things up a little.

Beginning of a New Era?
Today was an unusual day in Fairview: from the northern reaches of Secronom Bunker down to the furthest of the Wasteland, the sky is covered in a thick, mysterious red fog that blotted out the sun and seemingly caused the infected to be more aggressive than usual.
After 9 days of chaos, the "Bunny Man" has finally decided to end the chase himself, by broadcasting his final coordinate across the entire city and inviting everyone for a talk.
Following the coordinates, our scouts made contact with an individual who introduced himself as Dr. Peters, a member of the cult that wrecked havoc on the city this Easter, seemingly leading to the wild chase that left the Commander MIA and the Secronom crew scrambling to apprehend him. He warned us of a facility located somewhere in the city that the Commander and Dr. Adler tried their best to seal away (along with whatever unfortunate survivors trapped within), currently being barely secured by an emergency power system that's about to give way, and containing unimaginable things that threaten to send Fairview into what he can only describe as "the outbreak all over again."
Whatever he's talking about, it seems that this facility is the cause behind the red fog that is currently suffocating the city in darkness. Our best hope is for the fog to clear once the season changes, and our forces be as well armed as possible to whether what's ahead.

Update: Mini Daily TPK Competition
Since activity in the arena is pretty low aside from Mondays, we've decided to add a mini daily TPK competition. It works just like the weekly competition, except that the winner each day receives 100 credits. The first competition starts right now!
Hopefully this should make the arena a teeny bit more lively

Mini Update Client V59
- More difficult bosses like Black Titans, Flaming Black Titans, and the Wastelands Devil Hound now drop a guaranteed MC item. (This change for the DH will start at reset)
- Outpost Attacks now happen at predictable times, every 4.5 hours starting at reset.
- Improved on lootable ragdolls teleporting in bounds.
- Fixed a bug that didn't allow players to interact with lootable objects if in PvP mode.
- Fixed a bug where the Wastelands would increase game brightness the more you moved through instances.
- Fixed a bug where you couldn't scroll world map if you opened it while world map snippet was toggled on for the minimap.
- Fixed a bunch of flickering textures, unreachable loot spots, and places players would get stuck.
- Fixed a minor issue with the Discord Rich Presence not adding a space between the zone name and coordinate.
- Reverted changes done to prevent loot progress resets with moving players and zombies.
- This should help with zombies and players popping through walls as often as they were.
- Reverted a change done that aimed to prevent additional non-lootable bosses from spawning after killing them.
- This should help with the inconsistent amount of lootable boss bodies players have been experiencing since last update.
- This unfortunately does mean that the original bugs will be present again until we can find a better way to address them.
I've begun work on things outside of this but we're not quite ready to talk about it yet and would like to wait until some of our discussions and ideas are more set in stone. Until then: https://youtu.be/dQw4w9WgXcQ
