The Version 2.2.2 server maintenance and update is planned for November 26 at 4:00 PM (PT) and is expected to last about 2 hours (actual time may differ). Please plan your game time accordingly for the best experience. The update size is approximately 14.93 GB on PC launchers, 126 MB on the PC client, 714 MB on Android, and 882 MB on iOS (actual size may differ). We recommend downloading the update over Wi-Fi. NOTE: If the update is delayed on Steam, it may be downloaded more than once.
This update includes testing for the new novice tutorial, a revamped login and registration system, the Meteor Summoner game mode for RaidZone, Lightforge Loot Crate: Thunder Overlord, the Group Buy Fest event, limited Shop reruns, improved Battle Pass reward claim conditions, and various other optimizations and bug fixes.
After this maintenance, all players will receive the following rewards: Starchrom ×1,000, Mitsuko's Mark ×100, Starwish Token ×300, Blueprint Conversion Attempt ×3, and a Shop discount coupon: Spend 500 Crystgin and save 100!
Below are the details of this update:
1. New login and registration system
To help players better select and understand scenarios, we've revamped the login and registration system. The comprehensive visual and interactive upgrade features clearer scenario highlights and a streamlined server selection process.
2. Improved character creation
We've also revamped the character creation process. Now, you will select your preferred scenario before creating a character, which should help you start your adventure more quickly and clearly.
3. Simplified login screen
To declutter the login screen, less-used functions have been moved to the Settings menu, which can be accessed via the Settings button.
We've redeveloped the novice experience to provide clearer tutorials and help new players adapt to the scenario system. After this upcoming update, some newly registered accounts in select regions will be randomly selected to gray-box test the new novice experience.
Additional information about the gray-box test:
1. What content does the new novice tutorial include?
A: The new novice tutorial features changes to its missions and narrative, allowing players to experience the appeal of various scenarios under Once Human's "eternal return" setting.
2. Which global regions are included in the gray-box test?
A: Gray-box testing of the new novice tutorial will be held in the following regions: North America, Europe, Latin America, Southeast Asia, Republic of Korea, and Japan.
3. What is the purpose of this gray-box test?
A: The new novice tutorial may affect server stability. Therefore, we are holding a gray-box test to monitor and optimize server performance.
4. When will the new novice tutorial officially launch?
A: If gray-box testing proceeds smoothly, the new novice tutorial is planned to launch in late December, making it available to all players on all global servers.
* We will announce any changes to the launch schedule beforehand.
5. Can I voluntarily sign up for the gray-box test?
A: No, you cannot. About 20% of newly registered accounts in select regions will be randomly selected for the gray-box test. Voluntary sign-up is not supported.
6. How will I be affected if I'm randomly selected for the gray-box test?
A: You'll be able to play the game as per normal. The only change is that you'll experience the new novice tutorial. During gray-box testing, some bugs or irregularities may still be present. Please report any issues or provide feedback via the Co-Dev Feedback Platform so we can optimize the feature.
1. New preset templates
To improve Camera mode, we've updated the preset templates to include customizable lighting, movement, and lens settings, allowing you to take beautiful photos with a single click!

You can now customize the wind direction and intensity in Camera mode. Wind effects will be applied to your character, which can make your photos more dynamic.
To prepare for future themed events, free construction will be disabled on the eastern heart-shaped island after the December 10 (PT) update, and the area will be converted to a Safe Zone for events. The following scenarios will be affected: Manibus, Endless Dream, Evolution's Call, Prismverse's Clash, and Deviation: Survive, Capture, Preserve.

New Game Mode: Meteor Summoner
The flames of war ignite upon the apocalyptic wasteland!
The new game mode, Meteor Summoner, is here! This doomsday war machine will be the most fearsome weapon on the battlefield. Are you ready to face the storm?
Details:
1.Fight for the War Machine: The Meteor Summoner will spawn randomly at various locations on the map. It takes 5 minutes to manifest, after which it can be driven freely. The Meteor Summoner's location will be marked on the map, and all Metas can try to seize it. A battle is unavoidable!
2. Death from Above: If you manage to commandeer the Meteor Summoner, you can use it to summon meteors. It can fire one meteor by default. You can also feed it Meteor Fragments to greatly increase the meteor's damage. The meteor can only be summoned above a territory. Select a target and unleash a devastating meteor upon your enemy's base!
3. The Ultimate Weapon: The meteor strike will inflict massive destruction upon the targeted territory, making it a strategic weapon that can overcome tough defenses and break deadlocks. After unleashing the meteor and fulfilling its divine duty, the Meteor Summoner will also be destroyed.
Arm yourselves and join this festival of excitement!

Combat Balance Adjustments
We continue to roll out planned balance updates. This update includes adjustments to the Compound Bow and Jaws.
For more information, see https://www.oncehuman.game/news/devBlog/20251119/40781_1271791.html

2. Female animals (deer, sheep) can now be used during Deviation fusion.
3. Optimized the appearance of the Soul Summoner in Deviation: Survive, Capture, Preserve to make it consistent with other scenarios.
4. Added new animal riding animations for the following Deviations: Director Fox, Soul Summoner.

We've added a high frame rate (Ultra) option to provide more fluid visuals. This feature is only supported on selected devices, but we will gradually expand it to more devices in the future. Stay tuned!
To make it easier for Metas to use their preferred nicknames, we will gradually free up nicknames from deleted characters:
1. After this maintenance, when a character is deleted, their nickname will be freed up for you to use again.
2. Because there is a large amount of historical data from previously deleted characters, nicknames from characters deleted before this maintenance will not be freed up immediately. These nicknames will be made available in future updates, and we will issue an announcement when that happens.
