0.743 EA-Update
Zedfest - Diagrammet AB
Zedfest contestants! A smaller update (0.743) with a couple of bugfixes and changes.

Fixes:
  • Fixed the Daily challenge: Just two Victories! There was a problem where it didn't work correctly before.
  • Siren Head and Acid Puke Master (Zeds) are no longer initiating their special mechanics if they happen to be in the air.
  • Fixed an issue with the Steam achievement "You Finished Every Challenge?!" not being popped when completing every seasonal challenge. If you finished every seasonal challenge prior to this update and didn't get the achievement, just go to Challenges > Seasonal Challenges and it should pop for you.
  • Fixed an Ammo bug that would occur when switching weapon from Primary to secondary or vise versa and picking up an ammo box at the same/almost at the same time.
  • Fixed an Issue with the Sniper Scope not showing correctly when holding Aim, switching to another Inventory slot and switching back to the Sniper.
  • Fixed some collisions at a few places where a player could get stuck at Wonderful Winterland.
  • You can no longer stand on top of the Christmas tree at Wonderful Winterland.
Changes:
  • The price to fill up ammo at P.U.G.S is now capped at 800₹ for the Primary weapon and 500₹ for the Secondary weapon. Before this change it could be extremely expensive to refill, especially when having Ammo perks activated and being high level.
  • The Ammo Generator (Traps n' goodie) now cost 1000₹ instead of 800₹.
  • P.U.G.S arrow location (shows on screen when not looking at P.U.G.S) have been enlarged quite a bit to make it easier to find.

Happy New Year Zedhunters!

0.741 EA-Update
Zedfest - Diagrammet AB
Hello there Contestants! Just a small update (0.741) with a few bugfixes and changes.

Fixes:
  • Fixed an issue where a boss could fall through the map and not return.
  • Fixed the Piggy banks flying away if it spawns when opening a Christmas present.
  • The grass has grown out again at Zed Island.
  • Added a few collision boxes at places players aren't supposed to be at.
Changes:
  • The Ammo Generator (Traps n' goodie) have been changed quite a lot. Earlier the Ammo generator created one refill x current players, meaning it would have 4 charges when playing with 3 other people. This didn't work out since one player could ninja loot all the charges, making it practically free to refill ammo. This is changed and instead creates one full Weapon refill For Each Player. Each player gets their own Refill charge and cannot steal anyone else's Ammo Charges.
  • Made the Dude's (Objective) walking distance a little bit longer on Wonderful Winterland.
  • Removed Collision for the treebranches on Wonderful Winterland.
  • The price to open the Christmas presents found on Wonderful Winterland have been reduced to 300₹, instead of 500₹.
  • Slightly improved performance on Wonderful Winterland.
Added:
  • Added more Christmas presents around the map Wonderful Winterland.

Fixes:

Zedfest contestants! Update 0.73 is here with mostly bugfixes, but there are some changes and added stuff as well.

Zedfest - Diagrammet AB
Hello Zedhunters! Here is the larger November update with some fixes, changes and a bunch of added stuff for 0.72.

Fixes:
  • No more disappearing projectiles! There was a problem when projectiles (rockets, grenades etc) touched the owner, making them dissapear instantly. They are now working as intended.

Added:
  • A information table during Boss cinematic, showing the max health/armor and current weakpoints.
  • Added the option "Out of Ammo" in the chat ring menu.
  • Redesigned Challenge-system to cope with future Seasonal challenges. You now get a reward when completing all daily/seasonal challenges. There is also 8 freshly added Seasonal challenges that will be active for about a month until the christmas season comes.
  • A new character, Mini Mantana! Is a seasonal reward.
  • Killfeed in upper right corner. Kill a crap ton of Zeds and enjoy the smooth killfeed. Can be turned On/Off in - Settings > General.

  • Fixed a small issue where the Hacking console would continue to be hacked if you died during that stage("The slomo friend, objective).
  • Fixed an issue where you couldn't damage The Boss Glitchface's Health Destroyer Beacon or the Shield Blocks by using melee-weapons.
  • Fixed an issue where the Traps n' goodies could be spawned above a Zed or player.
  • Fixed a weird issue where Zeds would spawn during Intermission. Not really a bug, I had accidentally left a keybinding which spawned 25 Zeds randomly around the map hehe. This is now fixed.

Changes:
  • Lowered the amount of Zed-kills needed to be able to upgrade and prestige a weapon by a large chunk.
  • Several User-Interface changes have been made.
  • Grenades thrown by Zeds/Bosses now deal 15% more damage per difficulty increase, instead of doing the same damage across all difficulties.

Added:
  • A new difficulty "Impossible" is added. For the truly death seeking Zed Hunters!
  • A new Boss is added! His name is Rivan Dragoknight and he's a MF super professional Robot Boxer made by some guys from the old Sovjet Union! Hmm his name kinda reminds me of something, can't seem to put my finger on it.
  • A new playable Map, Zed Island! A large open environment set on a freshly found Island somewhere. Just the perfect place to host Zedfest at!

Tip of the day: Prestige:ing a class has several benefits, like Bonus XP and Level bonus stats for example.

  • There have been some major rework regarding the weapon leveling and prestige:ing system in order to cope with Upgradable Melee-weapons, new weapons and for future additional classes etc. Secondary/melee weapon's level and Prestige will reset back to its origin. Please go through the loadout for every class and hover/select a weapon if it went unselected. Sorry for the inconvenience, I hope you all understand!
  • To Prestige a weapon you first need to fulfill Level 5's kill-bar, instead of immediately being able to Prestige when hitting level 5.
  • Some minor UI-changes.
Added:
  • Added the Banana Bomb to the Torpedo's loadout aswell.
