Community Update #23. Prepare for the Winter update!
Robot walking, heaters blazing, icicles are well.
# Small things
* Apparently, Skadi, Snaer, and Hel in-game descriptions were changed a few weeks ago. Worry not: only descriptions were affected to reflect how the weapons actually work. Nothing at all has changed in their behavior.
* We have dropped a Siren and Harpy overview today.
# Highlight: the update's coming next week!
Next week we're releasing 7.7.7 with Harpy, Siren, and the long-awaited Winter event. Note that there's still more than a week left until the Halloween event's end. That means, there will be about a week-long delay between the update release and the event's start, so we'll have to wait a bit until the new content becomes available.
Still! Even before the Winter event (which will mark Harpy's and Siren's arrival) you should be able to experience:
* **Targeting improvements**. Subtle, yet important tweaks should help your guns stick to a target when it is above or below you (Fafnirs, Murometz'es and everyone fighting them – rejoice!). Additionally, the target lock should end up prioritizing targets near the reticle more consistently.
* **Tier system**. A neat visual system for categorizing items by power and complexity: from simple stuff up to the absolute beasts.
* Rome and Night Shenzhen will come back.
* *Snow will engulf a certain map.*
* Bug fixes and optimizations will also be there – well, of course! We're still finalizing the list, we'll list as much as possible in the full update notes.
# Test Server Status
* On the Test Server this weekend we'll do the final round of testing for all 7.7.7 content. It might be the best time to try out the new robots before they go live.
* On the last test server run, we found a critical bug with the Repair Amplifier. We're working on fixing it, but that means that the module won't make it for this update.

After all those tests, what do you think is stronger – Harpy or Siren?
And on that note, we're getting back to our preparations.
