Today we are releasing a new patch which addresses some gameplay issues, bugs, and also some fixes some stats collection issues so we can continue to retrieve important analytics to help us balance and improve the game.

Thank you to everyone who has participated in our survey! We are very pleased with the information you all have provided us with, and are using it to effectively address issues and improve the game in the ways our community wants. For those who have not taken the survey who still wish to, it can be found here.

We're also analyzing a lot of gameplay stats which are helping us determine which maps, game modes, classes and weapons are imbalanced and need improvement. The changes to Offensive being made in this patch, as an example, are a direct response to the win % for the attacking team ranging between 7% and 30% depending on the map. We see this percentage as too low and needing to be addressed. For Offensive mode, we will aim to have every map at around a 35-40% chance for the attacking team to win. We still want there to be a sense of needing to overcome odds in order for the attacking team to achieve victory, utilizing smoke and artillery.

Here is the full changelist:

• Offensive game mode changes
  
  • Attackers now get 5 additional waves at the start of the round.
    
  • The percentage of a team which must be dead in order for a wave to be triggered has been modified for both the attacking and defending team.
    
    • Attacking team dead player ratio changed from 20% to 25%.
      
    • Defending team dead player ratio changed from 20% to 30%.
  • Time it takes to deploy a wave after being triggered has been increased by 5 seconds.
• Reload speeds for the Lewis and Bren have been decreased by around 10%.
  
• Reduced trigger delay on Webley.

• Flamethrowers no longer drop.
  
• Fixed a bug where bots weren’t being kicked when they should have.

• General
  
  • German and Commonwealth bot loadouts now include the Panzerfaust and PIAT. Server operators can adjust their accuracy with doi_bot_launcher_bloat.
    
  • Stronghold allied bots take 50% of incoming damage.
    
  • Entrenchment allied bots take 25% of incoming damage.
    
  • Fixed an exploit where players could resupply through walls.
• Behavior
  
  • Bots with flamethrowers who are clearing rooms will be more careful not to burn themselves.
    
  • Bots who take burn damage will only stop attacking once they actually catch on fire.
• Stronghold
  
  • Added a radio point that needs to be destroyed to all stronghold maps. This will unlock when all of the points have been captured. Enemies will not respawn once this is unlocked.
    
  • Dog Red: Added an extra objective to the map.
    
  • Dog Red: Reduced enemy bot counts once you capture the cliffs from 16 to 12 and increased their respawn time.
    
  • Sicily: Reduced enemy bot counts once you enter the town from 18 to 12, and increased their respawn time.
• Entrenchment
  
  • Added a “Last Stand” mode. When there is 1 point remaining, all players will respawn and regroups will be disabled. Added an extra objective to all entrenchment maps for this.
    
  • Enemy wave timer increased from 5 seconds to 20 seconds.
    
  • Dog Red: Reduced round timer from 15 minutes to 12 minutes.
    
  • Sicily: Reduced round timer from 15 minutes to 12 minutes.

The current update schedule for Day of Infamy consists of major content updates every few months, with smaller updates in between. We will likely do the occasional sale timed with these larger updates, as our total wishlist count on Steam is nearing 100,000 people.

Today’s update would be considered an in between update. It contains weapon / class / artillery / gameplay balance, flamethrower dynamic lighting, a new weapon, and more. It’s nothing substantial, but it makes the game a bit more fun and addresses a lot of grief people have expressed.

We are also releasing a new survey to go along with the update, so we can gather some feedback on the game and improve it going forward. We encourage you all to participate in the survey if you have some spare time. It can be found here: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/DOI_Early_Access_Survey_Aug_2016

For the next major update, in addition to various new content, one of the features we are working on is body dismemberment. It seems that one of the qualities of the game people love is its intense nature and gritty combat, so we expect dismemberment will only push that even further. We hope to have this in before Halloween time.



We’re in the design process for Day of Infamy’s ranking up progression system, as well as its competitive Liberation mode which will allow players to rank up faster. As you ascend through the game’s ranks, you will earn medals and unlock random unit badges/headgear. The unit badges would be visible on your character as an arm patch and special headgear. We are looking into the possibility of making these tradeable through Steam’s inventory system.

Your profile card is essentially a trading card representing your persona. Players will be able to see the profile cards of friends and stack up against one another in leaderboards. On the back side of profile cards will show more detailed statistics of your persona.



We recently started a new official map, which is based on the classic Day of Defeat map Avalanche. The map is in an early block out stage, and will likely be tested on the beta branch at some point in the not too distant future, for those interested. If you would like to get beta branch event updates, we would suggest joining the official game group here.


The Day of Infamy Workshop has be buzzing with new content, from updated rifle sights to new maps and sound replacements there is something for everyone. If you're interested in what’s on offer you can check out all the workshop content here.

Here are a few highlights:

  • Improved performance in several areas of the map.
    
  • Fixed a nodraw face behind the radio tower.

For the next major update, in addition to various new content, one of the features we are working on is body dismemberment. It seems that one of the qualities of the game people love is its intense nature and gritty combat, so we expect dismemberment will only push that even further. We hope to have this in before Halloween time.



We’re in the design process for Day of Infamy’s ranking up progression system, as well as its competitive Liberation mode which will allow players to rank up faster. As you ascend through the game’s ranks, you will earn medals and unlock random unit badges/headgear. The unit badges would be visible on your character as an arm patch and special headgear. We are looking into the possibility of making these tradeable through Steam’s inventory system.

Your profile card is essentially a trading card representing your persona. Players will be able to see the profile cards of friends and stack up against one another in leaderboards. On the back side of profile cards will show more detailed statistics of your persona.



We recently started a new official map, which is based on the classic Day of Defeat map Avalanche. The map is in an early block out stage, and will likely be tested on the beta branch at some point in the not too distant future, for those interested. If you would like to get beta branch event updates, we would suggest joining the official game group here.


The Day of Infamy Workshop has be buzzing with new content, from updated rifle sights to new maps and sound replacements there is something for everyone. If you're interested in what’s on offer you can check out all the workshop content here.
