Hey everyone!
I just released my new game "The Dead Tree of Ranchiuna".
I have been working hard for this title for a very long time through its story, animations, environments, mechanics and everything. I want to thank my friends who supported my all the way. I hope you'll like the final result, when you give it a try.

Lots of tests have been made on its beta but still there can be bugs, so I've opened a thread for it on the game discussions page. After all with this project I have tried many technical things I didn't dare in the previous ones. So here you go!

With love and respect,

Greetings, Agents!

We are back with another patch for Phantom Doctrine, this time introducing Update 1.1! ːsteamhappyː

You will finally be able to alter the foundations of your spy agency by meddling with our declassified parameter sheets, and include some of your own ideas, based on a guide we've put together for you. Update 1.1 also includes additional Investigation Board content, improved support for ultrawide resolutions, minor improvements and bugfixes listed below.

As always, we sincerely hope that you'll enjoy the new possibilities, and the entire Team wants to express its gratitude for your ongoing support. Stay vigilant, Agents!

• A plethora of game parameters can now be accessed and modded via .csv files to provide new gameplay experience with Phantom Doctrine
  
• Custom agent portraits can be loaded into the game
  
• Standard enemies can have their outfit presets changed
  
• You may modify images, texts and parameters of the existing sidestories or even create your new sidestory events to add some interesting context to the main plot
  
• You may modify all in-game text or create your own localization, however, it will be a bit more tricky

All the details concerning modding and localization can be found here.

• Additional variants of Investigation Board snippets and new satellite photos
  
• Improvements to the already available names and surnames for Agents of various nationalities, and addition of new ones for more variety
  
• Cabal and Beholder Agents were subject to some body engineering treatments and had their stats balanced
  
• The Point of Interest popup on the World Map now displays the maximum number of Agents that may embark on a given Assault Mission
  
• Agents carrying bodies have been trained to open and close doors on demand
  
• VFX tweaks for weapon muzzle flashes and explosions

• The "plant explosives" mission type is now always loaded with the appropriate non-story levels
  
• Bargain ability Damage Threshold tooltip is now consistent with the actual boosted value (50DT instead of 200DT)
  
• Alt-tabbing while having the gamepad selected as the primary input device no longer causes the game to receive additional input from the mouse
  
• Workshop’s crafting assignment button states should now be more consistent with other facilities
  
• Tiles no longer guarded by enemy units after the effect of the Distract ability fades are not marked as dangerous anymore
  
• Fixed: The issue of agents being sometimes blurred out in the Forger’s Agent Customization screen
  
• The game can now be launched also in 3840x1080, 3440x1440 and 2560x1080 resolutions, providing proper access to the Main Menu
  
• All loading screens should be now properly displayed in ultrawide resolutions
  
• All Investigation Board files and snippets regardless of the chosen language are now properly displayed and accessible also in the 1280x1024 resolution
  
• Fixed: A rare occurrence in which enemy agents who were supposed to enable the CCTV systems were not only disabling them, but also hijacking the game camera altogether, resulting in a softlock
  
• Various text and localization fixes

If you encounter any issues, wish to chat about Phantom Doctrine or just poke the Devs, our Official Discord Server is where we’ll keep hanging out.

We have a few changes that will have an impact on gameplay. We are currently in the process of making tweaks and adjustments to some of the high impact Operators, while we continue reworks for Operators like Lion in the background.

These changes will come with the Y4S1 patch, and will be available on the Y4S1 Test Server. Please note that not all changes are final, and we will monitor feedback during the Test Server.

ASH
Removed ACOG from R4-C
Ash is very popular, and very strong. Within the balancing team, we are challenging whether or not all Attackers have ACOGs by default, and feel as if Ash is a great place to learn what impact the removal of Attacking ACOGs will have. Also, her R4-C is currently picked 99% of the time, and this should help balance her weapon pick rate a bit more.

MAVERICK
Increase swap time between SURI Torch and weapons
His ability to quietly make a hole in a reinforced wall and quickly swap to a weapon to punish Defenders is difficult to counter, so we will be increasing the amount of time it will take for him to swap from the blowtorch to a weapon.

We investigated making the sound louder, but that will require audio work that we cannot complete right now, and is therefore on the backlog of potential future changes.

DOKKAEBI
After 18 seconds, phone calls from Dokkaebi will hang up on their own
Being in range of Mute jammers will prevent Dokkaebi from calling you
Walking into range of Mute jammers will hang up phone calls during the call
Our goal with these changes is to reduce the Defender’s frustration when playing against Dokkaebi. By introducing additional options for countering her Logic Bomb will offer more choice for Defenders.

CAPITAO
Increasing area of effect size
Reducing damage per tick from 19 to 12
We are introducing an improved propagation system that will make the area of effect not to go through objects. We have been working in this new version for a long time and, finally, we are able to see it in action with Capitao’s asphyxiating bolts.

This new system allows us to improve the area of effect and, consequently, to reduce the damage inflicted by the bolts. With these changes we want to shift Capitao back to his original intention, which is that of an area denial Operator. Currently, his asphyxiating bolts are being used almost like a frag grenade, so the damage reduction and area of effect increase should reduce the viability of these asphyxiating bolts being used as frag grenades.

We will also be using the Test Server to experiment with different methods for how the area of effect from asphyxiating bolts interacts with the environment. We are looking for ways to increase how dynamic this area of effect can be when encountering environments with variable heights. Here is an example:

https://preview-static19.ubisoft.com/resource/en-us/game/news/rainbow6/siege-v3/3-9b0c1eda02c8_344177.gif

CLASH
Removing Muzzle Brake on Machine Pistol
The Muzzle Brake on Clash’s Machine Pistol is the worst choice in all scenarios now that it is fully automatic, so we are removing it.

LESION
Reduced Gu Mines damage per tick from 8 to 4
Lesion is currently very strong, and we believe that it has to do with the total amount of damage that Gu Mines can inflict to player combined with preventing sprint and defuser planting actions. In order to minimize that, we are reducing the amount of damage that a single Gu Mine can do each tick.

BREACHING CHARGES
Deployment animation is much faster
Damage on Attacker’s side is reduced from 150 to 50
Damage area of effect on Defender side is increased
Lethal damage area of effect on Defender side is reduced
We wanted to make the breach charge safer and more comfortable for the attackers to use.

CURRENT STATUS
DEPLOYABLE SHIELD
We are reworking the Deployable Shield, which has always been difficult to place properly, and also offered very little insight into whether or not your body was protected. We are reworking how the Deployable Shield functions, and how it is used within the game.

SHIELD OPERATORS
We are aware that the current playstyle for ballistic shields heavily favors direct gunfights instead of teamwork and tactical positioning. We are looking to address it by slowing down the speed of aiming down sights while having a shield equipped.

LION
As mentioned in the intro, and in the Designer’s Notes from Y3S4.2, the Lion rework is in progress. More details at the Six Invitational!

GLAZ
We want to bring Glaz back to the original intention of being able to hold an angle or corridor and lock it down without becoming a very strong entry fragger.

BLITZ
We recognize that Blitz is one of the more frustrating Operators to play against. Increasing the amount of time required for him to aim down sights with his pistol is one of the ways we hope to alleviate this.

Additionally, we explored increasing the cooldown of his ability and tweaking how we detect flashes, but both of these changes will require extensive audio/code work, and are therefore on the backlog to look into for the future.
