2. Add Shaman leader & cards
3. Add Coastal Maps and Coastal Enemies
4. Add Navigator leaders & cards.
5. Add more elite enemies and bosses.

As we prepared for this update, we took a step back and summarized the path we walked developing the Ratropolis.
There were players satisfied with the game, and also players that were are not.
The feedback returned from many players have shown us what to improve. So, we decided to extend the early access period and to make big changes in the game by accepting player's feedback.

1. Strengthening the characteristics of leaders
  - Create a unique card pool for leaders (over 100 new cards are expected)
  - Create a Leader related unique event
  - Create a Leader-specific adviser

2. Reorganization of advisers
  - Modify Advisers to have stronger influence in the game
  - Add a new adviser
  - Modify military adviser that issues cards

3. Strengthening regional characteristics
  - Add a unique system based on regions
  - Create a unique local event

There are also trivial items that need to be improved, such as polishing / balance / UI, which we plan to improve as we add new contents to the game.

We are very grateful for your feedback and encouragement.
We care about your comments and inspect them throughly, so if you think we are missing a major point or content in the game, please leave a comment.
In addition, we would appreciate it if you spread your fun experience with Ratropolis to friends or families! So that we can receive more opinions.

I would like to thank all of the Ratizens for making Ratropolis together. I think Ratizens and the Cassel games are the same team.
We humbly ask you to look forward to our further development!

The wolves are on the prowl, and they are more hungry than ever! The thrilling Wolf Truce event is back, and this is your chance to take part of this ten day event until March 29th!

Wolves! Wolves
When a battle starts, there is a chance that a number of wolf packs join the fray, attacking any who stand in their way. In the face of this canine threat, players will have the option to call on a temporary truce in order to deal with this new hungry foe.

There are many historical reports and stories about the danger wolves posed on the Eastern Front. Driven from their habitats due to the war, they attacked civilians and soldiers alike! Soldiers often took precautions, trying to drive them off with machinegun fire and even poison gas.



The Wolf Truce event has been inspired on these accounts and gives players a unique dilemma on the battlefield; do you call on a truce to face this new foe, or do you use the chaos to press on?



What’s new?
For the third iteration of this event, we’ve made a number of improvements on the UI pertaining the grace period and the truce timer. In addition, the wolves are more aggressive than ever, killing you in 2 bites instead of 3 and you can’t outrun them that easily anymore...



That’s not all, aside from the truce we also made several fixes and improvements such as a more lenient AFK time in private and public matches. For a full overview of all changes and fixes be sure to check out the changelog here.

How to earn The Wolf Truce medal
When the wolves attack, players can enact a Wolf Truce in order to deal with this threat. If they manage to fend off this attack without killing or injuring anyone on the opposing team, they all earn the Wolf Truce medal! But earning this medal is harder than it sounds as the game will not enforce any truce.

When the wolves attack, there will be a minute warning before the truce period starts. A timer shows how long the wolves will continue to attack both sides. The game will notify players if the truce has been broken by someone who injured or killed anyone of the opposite side during this period. If players maintain this truce until the timer ends, they will all earn a Wolf Truce medal!

Want to join in on the fray? Tannenberg is now at a 55% discount!

Good luck and be wary of the eyes in the forest!

We now have full localization support for Chinese! Also some changes to increasing the stability of game servers.

Note: Keybindings will be reset this patch again to fix some issues we caused last patch and allow for localization. They should be more stable in future patches.

- Clients now use DNS name to instead of raw IP address to connect to game servers (should improve network routing)
- Fonts now support symbols, emojis, and dingbats (so you can properly show off your fancy Steam names)
- Updated end game screen to more clearly show rewarded coin quantity
- Saved input settings are now validated to protect against starting games with busted key bindings

- Kill notifications no longer say "Someone" when killed by the zone
- Fixed a client side memory leak
- Fixed bug where ForwardDashAttack would sometimes never end block further ability activations (please let us know if someone experiences this after this patch)
- Fixed a handful of potentially problematic pointers in the code (less likely to cause server crashes)
- Fixed a bug where zone would continue to close when game has ended (potential cause for some server crashes)

Hello!

We're excited to be releasing soon! We've been planning our roadmap during Early Access, which we will likely put up on Trello and post a link for you to check out before launch.

I do want to give more detail here however before we do that:

1) The Campaign - We will start work on our campaign imminently after Early Access launch! This is where the lion's share of effort will be expended during Early Access. We're aiming for approximately 24 missions, which should come to a 10 hour experience.

Play Roland, an ex-artillery officer as he navigates the treacherous world of Pentum by his cousin John's side. We will share more lore and the background of the factions soon!

2) Weather - A weather system with multiple weather events. Each map will have 1 or 2 which will come and go on the turbulent planet of Pentum. Sandstorms and blizzards will slow units and reduce visibility, earthquakes will decrease accuracy, meteor showers can be fatal...

3) Abilties - Further broadening and deepening the abilties for the four factions, increasing tactical flexibility, deepening strengths and shoring up weaknesses as you evolve your strategy in-game.

4) New Modes - Depending on player feedback, suggestions and reception, we will add in new modes (both single player and multiplayer)

5) New maps

6) Balancing and Bug Fixes - Self explanatory!

Of course, these plans are tentative and depending on player suggestions and feedback we're willing to add, remove or shuffle things around!

This should give you an idea of what we have planned over the coming months. Keep an eye out for our Trello some time soon, as well as our post detailing some of the lore and background of the world of Miner's Mettle!

Thanks,
Ahad

We have reworked the movements you can make while equipping a hunting matchlock because we have heard that squatting and standing up with a matchlock was inconvenient due to the lack of speed and connectivity of these movements. Therefore we have focused on alleviating these issues. We hope that thanks to these changes you will be able to be more reactive to different situations while hunting.

• We have changed how you move while equipping a hunting matchlock as follows.
  
  • Increased the speed you squat or stand up by 30%.
    
  • If you are going from squatting to standing up when you try to move forward, you will walk forward and not move forward from a squatting position.
    
  • You can now start moving while reloading your matchlock.
    
  • You will now reload your three bullets one at a time instead of three at once.
    
    • If you get interrupted while reloading (e.g. due to a CC status effect) the bullet you were currently reloading will not count and only the number of bullets you have reloaded so far will be in your matchlock. This means you could end up with zero, one, or two bullets reloaded instead of the usual three.
  • You can now start rolling while reloading your matchlock. However, this will count as an interruption and the reload will be unsuccessful.
    
    • You can start rolling while reloading your matchlock from both a standing or squatting position.

We wanted Sea Coins to not only be useful for the Great Ocean contents and but also become a more universally useful currency. Therefore we want to add more ways you can use the coins so there is more supply and demand for these coins.

This is why we added a new Sea Coin Shop to Lema Island. You can buy certain useful items and Manos accessories there with Sea Coins. However, to try and minimize the effect this might have on the Silver-based economy, we have put purchase limits on the items sold in this new shop.

• Ravinia's twin sister Rebinia has opened up a Sea Coin Shop on Lema Island.
  
  • You can purchase the following items from Rebinia's shop.
    
  • You can only purchase the special, limited boxes containing the items below from Rebinia on Lema Island.
    

• You can no longer exchange Sea Coin Coupons for Manos accessories via Ravinia.
  
  
• You can now sell each Sea Coin Coupon to Ravinia or Rebinia for Sea Coin x10.
  
  
• You can now only enter the Altar of Blood if your HP is at 100%.

We are preparing balance patches for each class. Instead of large changes, we also want to build on the uniqueness of each class and work on detailing. This may take us some time but we will try our best to bring changes that will improve your gameplay experience.

Hello my dear friends! Nimble Neuron’s GM Aesop here with patch notes for the upcoming 5th Alpha test.
BS:ER is still under development, as I’m sure you’re aware, and the game will continue to be improved well into the future. We also read all of your feedback from our 4th Alpha Test and took a lot of it into consideration when developing the game and making changes.

We hope that these patch notes help you further enjoy BS:ER!

New character: Hart
Hart, the Peacekeeper, will be taking center stage on Lumia Island. Along with the power of music, she’ll be bringing her own unique weapon type - Guitars.
She will also be featuring a new “Evolution” system. The first time she crafts an Uncommon Guitar, a rare Guitar, or an epic Guitar, she gains 1 evolution point, so you’ll get a max of 3. You can then choose a skill to evolve, granting improvements to your abilities, which you can check out here:

• Feedback (Passive)
  
  • If Hart deals damage to an enemy with a normal attack, she recovers 1/1.5/2% of her SP.
    When evolved: an additional sound wave is discharged with every normal attack, dealing .25AP damage. She discharges one additional sound wave per Evolution point.
• Q - Delay
  
  • Hart strums her guitar, charging her sound waves. When she strums the guitar again, the charged sound waves are released. She can charge for up to 4 seconds, and maintain the sound wave for 4 seconds. She deals 60-180/80-240/100-300/120-360/140-420 (+0.2-0.6 AP) damage, depending on how long she charges.
  When evolved: Reduces the movement speed of enemies hit. Movement speed reduction increases per number of Evolution points.
  
• W - Overdrive
  
  • Hart plays a lick on her guitar, increasing her Attack Power for 5 seconds.
    When evolved: Reduces enemies' defense to her next sound wave. (Does not affect Weapon Skills.)
• E - Flanger
  
  • Hart quickly dashes in the targeted direction. She can activate this skill an additional two times. She moves 2m and strums her guitar, discharging sound waves in a 4m area around her and dealing 20/30/40/50/60 (+0.3AP) damage to enemies hit
    When evolved: Activating this skill grants skill damage amplification for 4 seconds. This effect stacks up to 3 times. The amplification amount increases per number of Evolution points.
• R - Peacemaker
  
  • Hart puts on a show for 5 seconds, causing all her enemies in a 7/8/9m range around her to dance. For every second of her performance, she recovers HP. Enemies attending the concert have their movement speed reduced
    When evolved: Reduces the SP of all dancing per second. SP reduction amount increases per number of Evolution Points.

We’re really tweaking numbers and working on finding a good fit for every character and their favorite items. Almost every single weapon has been adjusted from the last Alpha. If I were to list every single item and change, these patch notes would be more like a patch novel!
It’s been a few months since our last test, so we’ve made a lot of changes. However, going forward, we plan to have more frequent, minor, changes as opposed to infrequent large ones.

• Item builds
  
  • Many different builds and items have been adjusted to help reinforce strategic characteristics of each item. In our previous test, items were largely divided into basic attack focused builds and skill driven builds -- traps excluded.
    
  • We’ve worked to clarify options between early and late game choices or skill types. For example, a build may be focused on auto attacks and would center around attack speed and critical hits, but you can also try and build extra normal attack damage
    
  • We’ve tweaked some numbers around Skill Damage Increasing items. Skill damage increases come in two forms: Skill Damage Increase (%) and flat Skill Damage Increase. Our aim is to make percentage based increases good for powerful skills with long cooldowns, and flat increases better suited towards skills with shorter cooldowns or sustained damage.
    
  • We’ve improved the efficiency of items for HP regen, SP regen, movement speed, vision range, and attack range. With the new zoom out feature, items with vision range are particularly stronger as you get a wider field of view.
    
  • We’ve lowered the rarity of some relatively easy to craft Epic items, like those with 4 materials, to Rare.
    
  • The recipes of various items have changed.
