With Patch #22, we have upgraded Unreal Engine from 4.20 to 4.25. This spans two years worth of engine updates, solving many underlying technical issues and giving us access to new tools. We know this took a while, but we had to make sure everything still works, and fix a lot of things that simply stopped working for one reason or another.

While not the massive content update a lot of you were hoping for (that one is still coming!), we have included new cosmetics, entirely redesigned the play areas of maps for Brawl, added two new Frontline variants, and some combat changes to shake things up.

Among the changes to combat are making miss combos easier to punish, combo feint-to-parry easier to perform, while movement has received changes to make it more streamlined and fun. Bloodlust has been reworked in order to tone it down, the viability of gambling with kicks has been reduced, and weapons are now less likely to get stuck on environment. For a more detailed description of changes, take a look at the changelog below.




Loadouts sporting some of the new armor pieces



Bohemian Mauls and their smaller Warhammer brothers

Sun ray Spear


Kettle sallet with and without bevor

Combat

• Adjusted horse bump, removing bumps from behind and greatly reducing bumps from sides
  
• Shield wall can only be raised out of idle now, fixing various exploits
  
• Bloodlust reworked - no longer gives extra health on kill, now starts regenerating health on kill right away which will stop if you get flinched or start a parry. Point cost adjusted.
  
• Missing now slows down comboing, which makes it easier to punish a missed swing
  
• Combo weapons can now parry in miss recovery at stamina cost (the same as combo feint to parry, without having to combo, making it more accessible)

• Global attack lunge increased slightly

• Strike chamber window reduced 20ms (Stab & strike chamber window now identical)

• Movement adjusted: sprint start (partial sprint) is now slightly slower, but acceleration to max sprint speed is much faster. Landing a successful hit no longer puts players into partial sprint, this means you keep your sprinting speed on successful hits.

• Adjusted how attacks collide with the world, making it less likely to clip environment with your weapon and getting your attack stopped by world collision
  
• Nobles now have increased health instead of a damage % reduction modifier. This means that ranged and fire damage no longer deals more damage than melee damage proportionally

• No flinch attacks no longer knockback

Weapons & Equipment

Hi all! We've been closely working with our server providers, and yesterday we replaced all of our east and central North American servers - this should help a little with some of the issues we're facing. If you're in these regions, please let us know how you're liking the new servers, and keep in mind that this isn't the end-all-be-all for server improvements; we are continuing to monitor our network situation and we'll be looking into ways to improve things going forwards. Thanks for your patience!

To celebrate, everyone will receive doubled gold and XP rewards until Monday, May 3rd.
Additionally the game will also be 50% off for the same duration.

Thank you so much for your continued support!
