Flappy Egg: -Added a new gameplay mechanic called the flappy egg. Pressing the flappy egg key on your keyboard will make your egg player flap in the air like a flappy bird, giving you quick movement speed in the air. Flappy egg is a very useful move for quick maneuvering around the map and you can also chain it with other movement mechanics such as the slide, jump, and power slide for more effectiveness.
v0.34 ( Mar 3rd, 2022 ) General Changes - Made it possible to keybind actions to scroll up or scroll down. - Added keybinds for zoom in and out, defaulting to scroll up and scroll down. - Added a timeout of 8 seconds while waiting for arena players to connect. If not all players connect in 8 seconds the match gets canceled. - Leaderboards now only show the top 50 players, instead of showing ~500. - Talents that teach a new spell now show the spell cast time and duration on the tooltip. - The first press of the escape key will now detarget your target if you have one. Otherwise it will behave as it used to. - The dark tint on the UI indicating a spell is on cooldown now rotates clockwise. - Made some hotkey text shorter (e.g. Mouse0 -> M0, a-S -> AS). - Changed "Training" to now be called "Lobby". - Made the cooldown text larger on action items. - Made the cooldown text change color as the cooldown gets lower (yellow <6s, red <3s). - Increased the speed at which matches are attempted to be found, so there should be less time waiting in queue. Bug Fixes - Fixed the UI issue where tooltips would randomly disappear while in training. - Fixed an issue where you could use Bandage or Meditate while in Earth Shield (Terhun ability). - Dragging the camera while in the middle of casting an aimed spell (e.g. Volley) will no longer cast the spell on top of yourself. Balance General Talents - Increased the healing of Meditation up from starting at 3 to starting at 5 and still doubling every 4 seconds. Terhun - Increased the cooldown of Magic Arrow from 6 seconds to 8 seconds. - Reduced the duration of Poison Shot to 9 seconds from 12 sedonds. - Reduced the cooldown of Poison shot from 15 seconds to 12 seconds. - Reduced the damage of Poison Shot to 7 per tick (down from 8). - Reduced the damage increase of Poison Expertise to Poison Shot to 10 (down from 12). Azora - Ice Breaker now increases the damage of Frostlance and Pyrolance by 50% (up from 25%). - Ice breaker now only increases the case time of Frostlance and Pyrolance by 0.5 sec (down from 0.6 sec).
I am happy to announce that the game is now fully released and available for download on Windows, Mac and Linux. Check it out and let me know what you think!
Today, some updates on Milestone DAVOUT’s progress, what will come after it, and an upcoming patch.
Update on Milestone DAVOUT
We had planned to release DAVOUT this week, but we rather delay it a bit because we are still missing a few models. And especially an iconic one: the Leopard 2. Hence why you haven’t seen it in screenshots before, nor will in this DevBlog.
But we’re almost there: most units are done, with their German paintjob, their picture, … as you can see below:
The NVA isn’t forgotten, of course:
What’s next?
Milestone DAVOUT might be delayed a bit, it doesn’t mean we aren’t trying to stick to our 2-milestone per month schedule. While our 3D artists are working hard to deliver the missing 5. Panzerdivision’s models, some of us have already started working on the next step. Steps even.
Here is our planned scheduled for the weeks and months to come:
The next milestone after DAVOUT will be Milestone MURAT, still focusing on German divisions … and some friends. If you don’t know about Napoléon's dashing cavalry commander already, you’ve got only a few weeks left to address that unforgivable shortcoming. ;)
DAVOUT was a hard nut to crack, for it meant modeling (almost) ALL the Bundeswehr’s units in two weeks. MURAT will be different, for it will make use of many of the same equipment, which should give our overworked 3D artists a respite. As planned, we will use this opportunity to introduce towed & crew-served weapons, not only for the new divisions, but for all of them. Divisions from release and NEY & DAVOUT milestones will also see their ranks beefed up with mortars, field guns, anti-tank or anti-aircraft guns, … Missile weapon systems might take a bit longer though.
Upcoming patch
But much closer from us, we have been working on a major patch, currently being tested by the strike team ... and which should be delivered to you very soon™. Among other things, it fixes dozens of bugs reported by the community, but also brings the following changes & features:
3 new maps ... which we'll showcase to you soon.
Time limit options in the multiplayer lobby.
Increased infantry HEAT weapon’s efficiency (similar to WRD’s calculation).
ECM rework.
Decreased mortars’ RoF.
Repricing of transport helicopters.
MMG & HMG can now engage helicopters.
New Soviet SEAD plane.
…
See you on the battlefield!
