Dedicated Servers!
It’s finally here- dedicated servers for Lunaro and Conclave modes! This update brings the first iteration of our dedicated server plans, with more additions to come down the road.
To host a dedicated server, click Settings (the gear cog) in your Launcher and select ‘Start Server’. This will give you the option on which game mode to host, a ‘Clan only’ hosting option, and to insert a custom MOTD.
We’ve also introduced dedicated server leaderboards! Your score accumulates the longer you have active players on your server, and can be viewed under Profile > Leaderboards. While the first iteration is limited to just these Karma points, we want to highlight players who are actively helping to improve the Conclave experience for their fellow Tenno. Future updates will flesh out and expand upon this feature to better support these Dedicated Server Champions!

The Index Prewiew Hotfix 1 :
Changes
- Improved dedicated server geographic matchmaking precision.
Fixes
- Fixed Chat linking the Caustacyst causing a crash.
- Fixed attaining free health by channeling as enemies pass through the Caustacyst goo with Life Strike equipped. Also fixes similar issue with the Zenistar.
- Fixed for pickup sounds not playing for clients in The Index.
- Fixed a crash in Survival missions.

- Fixed Limbo being able to damage enemies while remaining invincible in the Rift with the Caustacyst or the Zenistar charge attack.

The Index Preview: Hotfix #2
Changes
- The Index Mods and Rathuum Mods are now all tradable (it was inconsistent)!
- Changed formatting for Dedicated Servers leaderboards so that uptime shows as hh:mm:ss not « X minute(s) ».
- Increased the mass of Reactant, Index Points drops, and Raptor’s Energy cells so that they don’t roll around as much.
- Excluded Reactant and Index Point pickups from Simulor, Inaros’ Sandstorm, Zephyr Tornado, and Vauban’s Vortex. This also fixes the exception lists for the Simulor; it wasn’t supposed to be moving gameplay objects (eg Datamass, Excavation Power Cells, Raptor Cells, etc) but it generally wasn’t of a problem because the objects were heavy enough (properly excluding them should run faster too!). As more and more gameplay components rely on pickups, we’ve addressed this issue as it is commonly discussed by you all.
Fixes

- Fixed The Index transmissions playing in Maroo’s bazaar.
- Fixed the Kinetic Ricochet Mod having a static 2D image as opposed to the newer 3D images.
- Fixed the Shield Charger Mod not having its correct image.

- You can now purchase the Embolist Armor separately.
- Adjusted rotation and positioning of the Officium Syandana based on creator feedback.
- Removed the smudge motion blur from Volt’s Speed ability.
- In an effort to fix inconsistent trade tax values, Amber and Cyan Stars now both have the same trade tax value of 2000 Credits, Ayatan Sculptures now have a base trade tax of 4000 Credits, plus 2000 Credits for each Star that is attached.
- Heavily reduced the frequency on « broker has a lot of points »and « point dropped! » sound clips because they were playing far more than everything else combined in The Index.
- The « Rally » voice clip now plays after 3 consecutive scorings to reduce excessive frequency in The Index.
- All friendly Index Specters are now equipped with the Tetra (farewell Twin Heks!).
- Self-kills will no longer grant an Index Point for teammates to take. This was allowing players to trade self-kills and never attack enemies for points.
Conclave Changes
