Now it’s easier to see which fighters are your main carries. Click the icon to switch the chart from "Damage" to "Damage Taken" and see which tanks are doing their job.

Mouseover a fighter’s name to hover the fighter unit. Click the fighter’s name to select the fighter itself. The bar will be green if the unit is alive, and gray if the unit is dead.


Previously, Classic 4v4 queue would form a match as soon as 8 players were ready. Now it will try to match you with players closer to your skill level, using your hidden 4v4 rating.

Due to the more casual environment and the importance of fast queues, 4v4 matchmaking is very "loose," meaning you'll match with a variety of skill levels. Keep in mind that the team auto-balancer will always shuffle teams to be as fair as possible.

We'll be monitoring queue times and matchmaking fairness in 4v4 carefully and tuning things as needed.




In the Campaign only, you can now quickly restart a match via the ESC menu. Note that the restart button is only available for the first 20 minutes of the match right now, due to some technical limitations.

If you're past 20 minutes and want to restart, use Surrender. It's faster than Quitting and also awards essence and XP.


Major Improvements
- Added a button to start a Classic 4v4 match if you have 8 players in your custom game room. If you're in a squad of 5-8 players, it's highly recommended to play Classic instead of custom games because it auto-balances teams, has card drops enabled, and gives bonus essence.



- Pinging units now shows additional information



Major Fixes
- Matchmaking: Fixed occasional cases of long queue times when there shouldn’t have been, especially for lower rated players
- Gameplay: Fixed some very rare cases where a unit would start at max mana, when it shouldn’t have
- HUD: Wave Info and Attack Effectiveness windows now save their positions between sessions

- Client: Fixed some cases where the game would freeze when trying to quit

- Translation fixes and improvements. If you'd like to contribute to translations, please visit https://legiontd2.com/translate. Any changes you make will automatically show up next patch. Thank you for your help!

Matchmaking
- Duo Penalty: Improved to be more fair. Slightly higher penalty in low Elo and moderately lower penalty in high Elo for skill gaps
- Loading Screen: While duoing in ranked, now displays your party rating badge instead of your individual rating (to help players better understand duo party rating)
- Loading Screen: Unranked players now display their actual rating badge to players outside their party (to show a more accurate rating)

Minor Improvements
- Bots: Now smarter about generally avoiding ranged mercenaries on ranged waves
- HUD: Unit range circles are now shown during the battle phase. Range circles are a little less bright around the edges.

- Options > Interface: Health Bar size now goes up to a max of 300 (from 200)
- Options > Video: Cursor confined mode now has the “Default” option, which will be the default for new players moving forward. When “Default” is selected, the cursor will be confined for full-screen, but free for borderless/windowed.
- Debug: Added -stacks X command for setting hydra stacks

Minor Fixes
- In-Game News: Fixed a bug where in-game news sometimes didn’t show, especially for short events

- Audio: Fixed Judgment missing sound effect

- Codex: Added -save/-load commands which were previously missing
- Graphics: Fixed a bug where trees sometimes weren't rendered for players on non-Very Low graphics

New Player Experience
- Game Coach: Now warns you about training workers during Wave 15 battle (since you can get 2x workers starting on Wave 16): https://i.imgur.com/sG62Z01.png
- Game Coach: Now reminds you to hit “1” and “3” keys to pan to your lane/enemy lane
- Game Coach: No longer reminds you to hit Tab + Space
- New Player Experience: Fixed a bug where ties/match canceled counted towards your games played, which affected your initial rating boost

Stability
- Fixed a few more cases where a player would get stuck on Connecting to Login for a minute or two, instead of connecting quickly
- Fixed some rare cases where a player would receive the “Loading account information” popup during a loading screen of a game




Creditor
- Gain 50% of your spare gold (up to 170 spare gold each wave) >> Gain 40% of your spare gold (no cap)

Making Creditor more fun and less confusing.

On November 3, a new update (0.3) will be released and little surprises await you, don't miss it!

Hello guys!

We are finally happy to say that we fixed the problem with long loading of the game on Steam.
Also we made a lot of additional optimization for the past days and removed several bottlenecks.

Now the game works much better.

Have fun playing in the Dungeon and thank you for your patience!

First, thanks for the warm welcome of the game and great reviews.
Secondly, even in great reviews, there are often complaints about the tasks of War and Famine.
Less than a year later, here it is, a small patch that changes the situation.

1. During the War's Quest, there is a 100% chance that the stage will have enough weapons to complete the quest. There is no guarantee that the weapon will appear in place of the cart. Otherwise, what is the point?

2. During the Famine's Quest, there is a 100% chance that each required food will appear at least once during the level. Previously it was not, but now it is.

3. The Knight in the Union has changed his position.


4. In the Union, there may be FPS drop due to something hidden.

5. There were some imperfections on the Mistake! page: the Jinn and the Croupier did not show their signs around them, the Parasite, when sent, did not show a connection with its victim. Now everyone is showing everything.

6. I hope this will not happen, but any critical errors are always possible.

Thank you for your growing support of the game! We've seen a lot of your videos and we're proud of your ability to solve the case even though the maid is constantly trying to give you a hug while whispering in your ear. She just wants her key back! ːsteamhappyː

Speaking of maids, mailboxes have been installed in the office and Indiegogo backers with the Supernatural Tier or higher will receive a letter from a maid of their choosing! You can choose a maid from the Room Assignment file posted on the bulletin board in the game. Please go to http://www.astravelari.com for more information.



Find out more about the maids in the dormitory by receiving a letter from one of them!

Thank you and congratulations なまあじ 鯵人 for getting the Supernatural Tier and receiving a letter from Dahlia Harlow! Remember to check your mail before answering the phone!



Cheers,

Astravelari Team
