The Rainbow Six Siege Defense Combine has come to a close! Competition for the leaderboards was fierce - And we have loved watching every second of it!

In keeping with the R6 theme, we’ve decided to do a little “Operation Health” of our own - Quality of life changes, improvements, and upgrades galore!

So without further ado - Let’s get into the notes!




With so many new players coming to Aim Lab, we thought it high time to make a good first impression!

Our Login screen has had a bit of a rework - You should now find a much sleeker background, updated fields, and of course - Everything is satisfyingly centered.

Perfectly balanced - As all things should be


A good playlist is the backbone of any long-term training routine - And you, our amazing community, have been hard at work making them!

With over 11,000 playlists available on our workshop, we thought it high time that we give them the same love that you have!

Favorite Playlists
Everyone has their favorites - Maybe you prefer Tenz’s training routine, or if you’re looking for something a little more specific, maybe the Splitgate routine from Voltaic, or the Warzone routine from Strahfe and Revosect?

Well, now you’ll be able to get to the playlists you love that bit faster - Favourite playlists will allow you to set aside the ones you love so that you’ll always have access to them!


Improved auto-update for scenarios
Some of you that use Creator Studio Scenarios in your playlists may have noticed recently that sometimes, the tasks you update may not change properly in your playlists.

Well, we’ve not only fixed that, but we have improved the overall performance of downloading and updating scenarios from within playlists! Your playlists should not work much better across the board!

Confirmation when changing weapons
Imagine a scenario - You’ve spent your time putting together your perfect playlist, with all of tasks you want, and need, for your training routine, and you’re just about to save the task - But your finger slips, and you’ve accidentally clicked to change all of the perfectly tuned weapons you had to the Orb.

Now, in the past, you’d have had two options - Either become a Zenyatta main, or take the time to go back through your whole playlist and change everything back to how you wanted it.

Well, no more! Now you will get a pop up before you change your weapons asking you to confirm your decision - No more need to worry about misclicks!

QOL Changes
Last but not least - Some smaller changes that should nevertheless make the playlist screen feel a little more complete and less cluttered.

Now when you select a category, either saved playlists or create new playlist, that category will be highlighted to help you identify, at a glance, where you are - And when creating a new playlist, the “Practice only” checkbox has been removed as to avoid any confusion.





Those of you on laptops or older tech might have noticed some higher than average RAM utilization when in certain screens of Aim Lab - Well, good news!

We’ve found the cause and gotten rid of it - Budget gamers rejoice, now all you need to worry about is Chrome!




Loading screens are an unfortunate reality of games - Until we’re all on quantum computers with atomized NVME drives, at least. But that doesn’t mean they have to be a waste of space.

Now when you boot up any task, instead of the same old video and trivia, you’ll instead see your Average and High scores in that task, backgrounded by some of the Creator Studio creations made by our amazing community - as well as a leaderboard showing the top 10 on that leaderboard for that week. No more will you need to go through your stats to find how you last played, or wait until the end of the task to see who’s the one to beat.




Nobody likes wasting time - Or having to go the long way round to get stuff done. So we wanted to make sure that we are doing all we can to make it as easy as possible for you to get set up and ready to train!


Display Selection
Those of you that switch your displays around often, or that use multiple screens, have probably noticed that Aim Lab hasn’t really had much in the way of support for this for a little while now - Well, we’ve heard you!

You will now be able to set your Display monitor both during set up, and at any time in your Graphics options! This new option will automatically adjust your resolution, aspect ratio and refresh rate to the maximum setting the monitor you have selected is capable of.


Ranking Calculation Fix
Our new ranking system implemented a little while back now, had components in place to ensure that you would only ever rank up, not down, after playing your first 5 tasks - As some of you rightly noticed, this was not working as intended.

We’ve managed to track down the issue and have put in a fix for it this update - Thank you to the extremely helpful user that took their time to help us diagnose and confirm this issue!






If you’ve played the Siege Defender Combine, you’ve likely seen the new Consulate map environment used in these tasks - Well, with the other maps already in Creator Studio, it would only be fitting to make sure that our creators have access to it too!

The Consulate Template is now available to all creators as a map template in Creator Studio!

Hi Maplers,

Today’s memo is not about our upcoming game update. Instead, I would like to talk about myself and give you an update on the changes within the MapleStory team. 

I’m sad to announce to you that I will be stepping down from my position as a MapleStory Producer as of October 1, as I decided to move back to Korea due to my personal reasons. With this change, one of our other existing MapleStory Producers, Sally; and the Live Game Director, Hyun, will be leading the team and the project from now on. 

MapleStory has been a part of my life ever since I joined the MapleStory development team in Nexon Korea back in 2007 so now that I’m writing this memo, I feel like I’m reaching a big turning point in my life.

Among all these years, the best decision that I made was to move to the United States and take on the Global MapleStory Producer position in Nexon America. Thanks to this experience, I was able to work with you more closely and have a better understanding of our player base. It has been a very precious time for me to be able to meet our dedicated players and I’m confident to say that you are the most passionate players and you are the reason why MapleStory and our team exist. 

In addition to this opportunity of working closely with you, I was extremely lucky that I was able to work with our current MapleStory team as they all truly love being a part of MapleStory and working for our players. While the changes we make and what we do sometimes make our players disappointed, one thing I can surely say is that our team members consider you to be the most important thing and we all appreciate having you as our players. You will have more chances to hear from our team members about several important topics as they have just started to communicate more with the players through various channels.

Even though I’m leaving, MapleStory will continue to have exciting updates and I’m sure that they will make you thrilled just like how MapleStory has been doing for all these years. I will also give my full support from a distance. 

Thank you all for the support that you have been showing me the whole time. It was a great honor to be your Producer.

Thank you,
- Anna

Mafe’s Vanilla Refactor: Hellion by Mafe

This mod is aimed to bring a new breath to the Hellion class, based on Mafe's personal vision for her.

A) General aspects and mechanics:
-New Mechanic: Berserker Rage: When Hellion gets below 50% of her total life, she enters a state of pure rage where she deals and receives 20% more DMG. In this state, all of her skills get additional effects.
-However, after Hellion gets above 50% of her life again, she will hinder her rage and return to normal, with a 4 rounds and incurable -2 SPD and -20% healing received debuff.
-At combat's end, no matter health, she will return to her normal state without penalties.
-As a consequence of this, her entire skillset was revisited to fit this behaviour
-An unique Riposte that cannot miss or deal DMG but that buffs her allies
-New barks and some hidden references on those
-Lifesteal! After using Adrenaline Surge, all of her skills will heal her for a % of DMG done (on skill that deal DMG, of course)

Thank you creators for their hard work and talent and thank you to our fans for your dedication and continued support! We love and highly appreciate you!

Set in the headquarters of the Infinitum Military Solutions, this ruthless PMC never would have guessed the fight would be brought onto their home turf. This security firm has a mission statement to bring protection to those who need it most. Still, their history directly opposes these core values, resulting in the inevitable conflict brought to their corporate offices.

This map design originated directly from the Pavlov community. It was such a fan favorite we decided to partner with the original map designer, Voxie, to remake a map with a high amount of detail. This map features various environments with SnD at the forefront of the design with a finely tuned layout to ensure this map will withstand the test of time.



We have updated our NATO and Russian player models for Pavlov. This comes with several benefits. Not only are the teams now more distinguishable, but we have also improved performance with them. We were able to make them look better, while also reducing the number of draw calls needed to render them on screen.

Our sound design team has remastered all of the current weapons sounds in an effort to provide more heavy impact and dialed up the effects of outdoor reverb.



We've added new effects to the frag grenade and SnD bomb. We've also wholly refactored the flashbang effect to address some of the issues with low-light environments. We also believe we have helped simulate the feeling of discombobulation with these new flashbang effects.

After receiving feedback from players, we have decided to add buy limits to the utility. You can now only purchase a single frag at a time in pre-round. This is an effort to reduce grenade spam. Additionally there are limits to 2 smokes, 2 flashbangs, and only one pair of pliers.



We have brought back our casting application for casting Search and Destroy matches. This can be used by changing the launch parameters for the game. It will open to a keyboard and mouse interface that can be controlled with various key binds to change the perspectives of the spectator camera. You can find the full guide on our wiki.



We've rebuilt the shooting range. Not only have we designated the doors to lead to other offline areas, but it's also optimized it for better performance.



We've added bolt slap mechanics! Now when you have a bolt locked back on specific weapons, you can swing your hand on top of the bolt to cycle it forward. There's no need to use the trigger button. This mechanic provides absolutely no tactical benefit; however, you will look really cool when doing it.


After many requests from the community, we have added the Trench Gun! This shotgun packs a powerful punch sure to stir up the guts of your enemy if they're too close for comfort.



Fleshing out the WWII content further, we're also added historical scopes for all the bolt action rifles. Each featuring its own unique model and reticle to lend more ability to the bolt actions and create more viable use on the battlefield. By default, these weapons will automatically come with a bolt action rifle. However, they can be removed by the player. If you are making a custom game mode, you can additionally spawn the rifles without the attachments.

Kill house stats are being reset for a new season. Stake your claim on a world record run with your favorite weapon, or join the mixed category for some extra spice!

Pavlov is moving towards a faction-based weapon set, according to each team. This will effectively limit the weapons available to you. One team will have the AK available, and the other will have M4, and so on. Some weapons will be shared between teams, of course, such as the Deagle. This future change will be part of the buy menu revamping efforts.

We're also introducing more game modes such as Push, and If you would like to help us test these new game modes in the Steam Betas we update regularly, we would love your feedback!

Here is how to access the beta on Steam:

• Right click Pavlov VR in Steam
  
• Go to properties
  
• Click Betas Tab
  
• Select "beta-" from the drop down
