WTF no new content?

Some people might look at this update and say, "Man, this update fucking sucks - there is nothing new!"

Ok, ok, hold your (unrideable) horses. The lack of new items does not mean the team is just sitting around with thumbs up their asses. Garry and Helk have been hard at work on the new leveling system and, as with any change that fundamentally shifts huge dynamics of the game, this system will take some time.

When will it be ready? The last estimate from Garry (16 days ago) was “a month or two.” This change will most likely launch in conjunction with the forced wipe (and include a full blueprint wipe). That means we could see this as soon as March, 3rd, however, the chances of that are probably slim given the scale.

Oh, and I think Helk still has a couple balance tweaks up his sleeve before the update goes live ;)

Edit: Yup, metal facemasks and exterior walls have been balanced (see below).
