This patch also addresses the following fixes.

Changes

Gameplay

• Tournament Mode; only admins can unpause a paused match

Misc.

• Fix crash when downloading workshop files if using -nomovie
  
• added new UGC rounds 10,11 and 12!
  
• added Vypress Sabre… must be a member of Mirage Steam Community

Maps/Levels
Coldfront

• reverted accidental change that effectively broke the king objective. Removed bonus time for *completing second objective.

Castle Assault

• added blockers to prevent you from reaching the gate to the king immediately. They are destroyed 10 seconds after the town objective completes.

Citadel

• disabled collision on ash particle and instead added weather volumes to interior spaces to turn off the ash

Cove

• spawn point access blockering, some were quite easy to get into from the outside.
  
• Also some blocking volumes added to prevent a map exploit where players could get inside buildings they aren’t meant to.
  
• Cove LTS - fully blocked off spawn point zones

Forest

• set lightshaft meshes and fireflies to medium detail up from low (will not show up on low detail now). Set fixed bounds on fireflies particle system.

King's Garden

• added blockers during the first stage to prevent you from reaching the gate to the king, preventing attackers from camping the gate before the ram objective is complete to make it more fair to defenders

Outpost

• set owner of first objective properly so when Agatha successfully completes it they are no longer told they failed
  
• tent burning progress bars are now split between left/right tents
  
• changed values on mason chieftain AI settings to not be out of range (which can make the AI act dumb)

AOCFFA-DrunkenBazaar-CM_p

• New! FFA map in the final library area of Drunken Bazaar
  
• Beta note: fixed broken spawns from first beta build

Misc maps

• there was one stair mesh with bad lightmaps which is all over hillside

http://www.pcgamer.com/why-torn-banner-isnt-making-a-chivalry-sequel-yet/

In advance of next week’s PC Gaming Show at E3, we were invited to share our perspective on PC gaming and game development. Torn Banner Studios’ Alex Hayter wrote about why we have decided to create a new IP with Mirage, instead of an immediate sequel to Chivalry.

Here’s an excerpt:

Where’s Chiv 2?

After a huge seller like Chivalry: Medieval Warfare, the most obvious path to immediate success would be for our studio to develop a direct sequel, sit back and watch those 3.5+ million players and their Benjamins roll back in. Instead, the next title from Torn Banner is a magic fantasy action game that’s more Arabian Knights meets Game of Thrones than medieval European fantasy. This isn’t a world of chivalrous knights and kings but flame throwing mages and occult assassins. Gone are the castles and catapults, replaced by Middle Eastern-inspired marble palaces and magic seals.

It’s Mirage: Arcane Warfare—a new first person multiplayer slasher that is much less a direct sequel and more like Chivalry’s magically gifted cousin. By developing a unique new IP, rather than Chivalry 2, our studio is aiming for long term creative and commercial success instead of grabbing at low hanging fruit.

TotalBiscuit

"It needs a little bit more skill, it's less defensive, it's a more aggressive combat system in general - particularly with the addition of abilities. The combat can be quite fast paced at times but it still has the weight of Chivalry: Medieval Warfare"

Angry Joe

“You know Chivalry: Medieval Warfare? Take that, take the training wheels off, take the historical restrictions away and then just go crazy with it and that’s what you have here with magic and special abilities.”

Game Informer

“The premise is easy to love, and with a focus on blocking magic and melee attacks at the right time while finding an opening for magic spells, Mirage is more than just your average FPS with swords and fireballs.”

“These days, you’re bound to see another multiplayer game with some variation on the first-person shooter (FPS) mechanic. However, Torn Banner stuck to its guns (pun intended) to deliver competitive multiplayer with a melee twist. Adding magic to the mix makes for new ways to take out enemies without overpowering the melee combat that serves as the game's backbone.”

Force Gaming

“Having played the game I’d say this is definitely a positive direction that they’re taking it in. They’ve got the the similarly deep combat mechanics [as Chivalry] but then with the extra layer of magic they can make combat a bit more interesting and add an extra layer of depth”

PC Gamer interview

“We’re bringing fighting game mechanics into multiplayer.”

Hardcore Gamer

“After every convention, certain games seem to stand out as the clear winners of a given event. After spending forty-five minutes with the brutal, intense Mirage: Arcane Warfare, it’s safe to say that players should eagerly anticipate Torn Banner’s next title. After all, there was a reason why fans kept on flocking back to hop in and get another match in rather than seeing something new.”
