v.132 - Hyper Evolution Update Highlights

So the effects of cores are a single 30 minute instance, and then they're used up, and you're back to the 'base' level maps?

Do cores take up inventory space?

The name had made me hopeful it was something that you could just keep stacking improvements onto by playing every day, if cores are a one-time thing I probably won't grind it much unless it's better soloing than SH :/

No, they don't use inventory space, but yeah, they only affect one instance. There are certain cores that can permanently change the world, but in minor ways, pretty much just expansion. You start out with 5 maps, but you can increase that up to 9 by doing certain missions.



The cores are in their own separate inventory type thing that show up when you choose to enter the evolving world, the circular holes are for drops, monster stats, and missions, while the square holes are for environmental changes, like background, music, monster skins.



As you can see here, I've unlocked map 6 through a mission. Each map has a special quest that you can do to get Evo Coins, but they also drop from monsters. The best map for drops is probably Map 3, I believe it is, where, every so often, a machine in the map will vac all the monsters to the center for a few spawn cycles until it breaks, and the monsters scatter until it turns on again.

Hey, just wondering, does anyone know about the pocket item "ESS square" (Specifically the stats that can be obtained on it)? I can't find ANY information on it other than the fact that it exists and comes out with this update from orangemushrooms blog.

The ESS Square is potentially better than the +5 PvP Pocket, but I don't know the exact range. It can go up to 5 atk, and have more than 5 to a stat, even without additional options, but here's a picture of one after the additional option system, as you can see, it also has +2% All Stats, which gives it an edge over the PVP pocket item. (I mean this particular one, not that they all have +2% All Stats).
