Greetings Adventurers!

Today's patch is mostly focused on improving server stability, as well as a few minor bug fixes and quality of life changes. Please restart your client to update to the latest version. For any players hosting dedicated private servers, please manually update your server client.

• Resolved an issue with casting certain spells, (Fire Wall, Ice Wall, Lightning Wall), causing extreme server lag across a wide area.
  
• Resolved server crashes related to the erratic movement of Moths / Nightshades. These creatures, while still annoying, will no longer affect server health.
  
• Resolved an issue where taking certain actions would cause your character to grow or shrink is size.

• By default, pressing "R" while targeting a tamed creature will open its inventory; you no longer need to select it from the radial by holding "E".
  
• Rolling (crouch + movement or double-tapping a direction) off of an elevated platform will now reduce fall damage on landing. We still don't suggest rolling off of any cliffs, but at least it'll hurt slightly less now.

• We're aware that players have been unable to complete the "Earn 100 Gold" quest by selling items to vendors due to the quest failing to track the amount of gold earned. We're addressing the issue and will be improving our overall quest system throughout the Early Access period.

Thanks again to all of our adventurers for your continued support and feedback; we're looking forward to seeing your adventures on Archos!

Hello fellow Looters,

this is Presbyter letting you in on some "secrets" about KOL and its development and future. I will try my best to give you a short update on whats going on each or at least every other Sunday - hence the name.

Last week we released the latest Movement 3.0 update which fixed most of the reported issues like not being able to change direction while actively defending against enemy attacks (parry, block, dodge) or strafing with a ranged class. There is still an issue with diagonal movement where the keystrokes are sometimes recognized with delay or not being recognized at all. Wont be long until 4.0 will be released which hopefully fixes this I hope.

I also started to rework the inventory module to implement all the input given by players. Current inventory system is a pain to use and not intuitive at all. Worn gear will not occupy an item slot anymore for example next to other improvements like swap items slots on the fly without having to clear the slot first etc. The entire GUI will need a lot of work to get it to a reasonable state.

Work also started on better tools to replicate reported bugs by being able to clone a character into a developer account so we can see firsthand whats wrong. Implementing Inventory 2.0 will require this feature since its almost inevitable that it is 100% bulletproof right from the start.

Lastly I spend quite some time on reading and investigating all the feedback given by charge backs, forum, social media and emails.

It all comes down more or less to the point that the game needs improvement in almost all areas of development. I would divide the feedback into two directions ... more content regardless of the obvious flaws in the underlying game framework and do not add more content until you got the framework patched up since the players will be drawn out of the game right away before even reaching the content.

The feedback we already got will keep us busy for month. Not only in regards of whats already there but also where to go and what's to come. It takes time from actually coding and shifts to brainstorming problems and determining how to address and fix them before adding even more content to a flawed system. It all must be fit in the time frame of reaching beta Easter 2018 and Gold Easter 2019 as well as limited resources and man power. Will be quite an effort but necessary and worthwhile.

More on this once we got something solid to talk about.

Next content update will add the "Hornet's Nest" map:




That's all for this week and If it happens you have been - thank you for reading.

Development continues!
Presbyter and his team.

Happy painting!

Welcome new players! After the Steam Summer Sale, we've had a big influx of new Templar Captains on the ground and fighting for the cause. That always brings out some new and helpful balancing discussions and finds a few more bugs that had still been hiding in the shadows. This week's release is out to address those!

Turns out the amazing Strikepoint Kit Relic (which doubles Fire/Plasma Damage if your attack is Penetrating) was not working on Overwatch. Now fixed!

Another good discussion about Supply Boosters on the Steam boards has helped us tweak the RIO rate for these Tact Point upgrades. They now pay for themselves in 8 turns instead of 10, which is a small tweak, but also means that once they are paid off you are earning faster. They are still clearly intended for extended levels in which you're squad is planning to stick around for well more than 8 turns.

Another round of scrubbing on the combat log has fixed a few text generation issues there. As with the bugs before, these were simply misprints in the log, and not issues with the actual combat system.

Thanks to our players who reported some issues with the Power Relay Grid! We fixed a few node connections that were giving incorrect dialog or prompts about the direction of the flow of power.

And finally, we fixed the end turn confirmation prompt. It was popping up a lot more than it needed to, because it was counting Templars who were in Overwatch mode as 6 MP and 5 AP. That makes your team look like its standing around doing nothing! Not so, busy shooting xeno here!

Please leave a review to help us spread the word about Battleforce!
