Good afternoon,

This patch fixes a critical bug with vulnerable status effect causing crashes when combined with Damage over Time skills. This would often happen when combining Shotgun (with Intimidating) as well as Shuriken with Sanguine Decay.

This patch also introduces more settings to disable special effects/flashing, as well as disabling mob status bars.

Please let me know if there are any other settings/options that people would find useful/helpful. I'll be happy to add them!

Cheers,
zediven

Hello,

Our first Playtest weekend has passed, and we're still gathering impressions here. In short – it was awesome! Several thousand players got access and tried Aquatico for the first time, and we couldn't be happier with response.



The very idea of an underwater city building experience seems to resonate strongly with a lot of players out there who were really enjoying the early shown atmospherics and general mood of the game. Since this was only the alpha game version, there were bugs and issues and we're taking into account everything reported back to us. Improvements are already underway, based on feedback and data files you've sent us.

At this moment, our entire team wishes to thank all of you who participated in the Playtest. You gave us a very good idea of what things you enjoy the most, what needs improving, and where the current issues are. Thank you for this invaluable feedback, thank you for all the suggestions and thank you for your time to provide us with the data files.

What's next?

For all players who didn't get the chance to try the Playtest version, we are preparing a first demo version of Aquatico! This will already be an improved version of the Playtest build, and that version will continue to be updated as development goes ahead. Expect this demo to be available in time for the Steam Next fest. Note that this demo version will also be an incomplete game, but already one step closer to it.



And while on the subject of Steam Next Fest – yes, Aquatico will participate in this event, you'll have a chance to view livestreams of the game, grab the demo and give it a spin, and of course – throw additional feedback at us. There is still much more to come and we'll make Aquatico the best experience it can be!

Once again – thank you!

• Played 30 Ranked Games: Beautiful View Epic Banner
  
• Achieved Rogue Tier: Intervention Epic Banner

• Week 1: Skirmish TDM

Glacier

Glacier has received an update to help speed up rotations and minimize the vertical stacking of major combat spaces.

• The stairs to the bottom of the map have been closed off. Now only provides a linear pathway to each side of the map.
  
• New pathways have been added through the middle of the ship.

Draft Pick Improvements

Based on Player feedback, we're adjusting the allocation of picks in our ranked draft modes, as having first ban and the first two picks was too strong. As a result, the draft will now flow in a more familiar format:

• Team A Bans 1 Rouge
  
• Team B Bans 1 Rogue
  
• Team A Picks 1 Rogue
  
• Team B Picks 2 Rogues
  
• Team A Picks 2 Rogues
  
• Team B Picks 2 Rogues
  
• Team A Picks 1 Rogue

Weapon Mastery Expanded

We've had challenges and unlocks for our secondaries and melee's since the initial release of the weapon mastery system, everything but the ultimate reward of unlocking the weapons to be used on other Rogues. It's time. Now fully mastered melee weapons and pistols can be swapped between rogues. We have also retrofitted a bunch of our newer melee weapons onto characters that we think are good fits for them, making them a bit more accessible to be mastered for those who may not own all of the newer rogues. See under Game Balance for more details on these changes.


Rogues

Scorch

With the introduction of the Volatile and Energized increasing both the potency and frequency of Overheat, we think a slight cooldown nerf is in order.

• Increased Overheat's cooldown from 45 to 60 seconds.

Trench

• Base melee weapon changed to the Claymore.

Dallas

• Base melee weapon changed to the Combat Knife.

Lancer

• Smoke Grenade changed to Pop Smoke grenade.
  
• Base melee weapon changed to the Katana.

Dima

• Base Melee weapon changed to the Baseball Bat.

Anvil

A while ago, we changed Anvil's ability, Barricade, so that he could deploy two barricades simultaneously. We also wanted the ability to store two charges since that's how other multi-charge deployables function. Unfortunately, we could not make this change because of the "Break Glass" functionality of the Barricade. However, we think it's more worthwhile to be able to store two charges of Barricade, so we have removed the "Break Glass" functionality from the ability. You can still break the glass if you want to by shooting the small yellow canisters inside the shield. We believe this is a net buff to Barricade, so we are raising the cooldown slightly to compensate.

• Removed the ability to break the glass by pressing the ability button again. Instead, you can now only break the glass by shooting the yellow canister.
  
• Ability Cooldown is now 40 seconds (max 2 charges).
  
• Ability can now store two charges, similar to Trench's Barbed Wire and Vy's Poison.
  
• Base melee weapon changed to the Sledgehammer.

Dahlia

• Base melee weapon changed to the Combat Knife.
  
• The cooldown for reviving your linked target was recharging too fast and show now be recharging at the proper rate of 60 seconds.

Fixer

• Base melee weapon changed to the Throwing Axe.

Runway

• Base melee weapon changed to the Khukri.

Gadgets

Targeting Through Smoke

We are addressing an unintended exploit brought about by the complexities of our VFX within Unreal Engine.

• Can no longer use gadget AoE targeter to see player outlines through smoke.

Perks

Gadgeteer

We wanted to err on the side of caution with the initial release of the gadgeteer perk, lest the perk be too strong and send us back to more gadget-heavy gameplay. Unfortunately, the perk has proven to be ineffective for the cost, so we are increasing its effectiveness and increasing the price of each tier slightly.

• Now provides 10%/20%/30% cooldown reduction at Rare/Epic/Legendary.
  
• Cost increased to $6000/$9000/$12000

Weapons

LR15 & Tyr

We have reintroduced Flinch to our snipers. Flinch makes your crosshair bounce to simulate your character "flinching" as they take damage from other sources. The goal here is to make snipers easier to punish when they're fighting within the effective range of AR's & SMG's.

• Now have Flinch.

Game Modes

King of the Hill (KOTH)

• KOTH is now multiple rounds.

BUG FIXES

• Fixed an issue where players see a "Network Disconnected" after selecting a Rogue.
  
• Fixed Dahlia's "Danger Close" cooldown partially resetting after linking with a teammate.
  
• Fixed an issue that, when reclaiming a C4, players would drop an additional C4.
  
• Fixed an issue where Gadget cooldowns would get reset when purchasing an upgrade.
  
• Fixed Spending-based Contracts.
  
• Fixed Audio issues in many locations across our maps.
  
• Properly adjusted Juke's Rogue Role for data and contract purposes.
  
• Gl1tch hack now appropriately affects gadgets that are "in-hand."
  
• Fixed an issue where our Volume sliders were not completely correct.
  
• Fixed an issue where respawning players would sometimes not be able to access the shop in - King Of The Hill.
  
• Juke's Turret hit register was not playing the appropriate hit SFX against armored targets.
  
• Fixed several exploit locations that Juke could access.
  
• Fixed the MLX Mark 4 mythic VFX when respawning.
  
• Fixed an issue where Umbra, while using spider, could get into an unintended state if hit by a reflector gadget.
  
• Reflector Gadget kills should count properly when players knock enemies off the map.

KNOWN ISSUES

• There is a potential issue of the camera resting higher than intended when you crouch+ADS.
  
• Minor visual jittering of your primary weapon when you ADS after a dodge roll.

The Kingshunt Closed Beta Weekend will begin on Friday, September 23rd at 4 PM (GMT). The servers will be open all throughout the weekend until Monday, September 26th at 6 AM (GMT).

There’s still time to request access to the Closed Beta weekend. Head over to our Steam Store page and press the Request Access button to get the Kingshunt Playtest launcher in your library. We will be granting access to new players at regular intervals throughout the Beta, so please be patient if your access request takes a while to go through.

If you already have the Kingshunt Playtest launcher in your library, then you won’t have to do anything to secure access. In fact, you can download the game right now and launch it to go check out your builds for runes and summons and try out the combat tutorial and training grounds levels while you wait for the servers to open.

If you are a content creator, we want your support, so please join our Discord server to share your channel, schedule, and clips. Creators there will get priority in our upcoming creator program!

Below you also find our first official patch notes of this new stage of Kingshunt development!


As we prepare to transition from our Alpha stage to our Early Access Beta and open up Kingshunt to the community, let’s recap our main feature and the biggest changes since Alpha playtests until this point.


Your goal in Conquest is to capture objectives and destroy the enemy team’s base.

To secure a victory, your team must obtain enough tickets to place your rivals in a faltering state. Then they can no longer respawn! If you eliminate your faltered enemies, your team is victorious.

Capturing objectives, and eliminating minions and towers, grants your team tickets and resources. When your team captures an objective, they will receive tickets. Those tickets are removed from the team if you lose the objective. 

When a capture point timer reaches zero, the team that owns the objective will receive tickets and resources.

Or reach and destroy the enemy team’s core for an alternative victory.

• Main mode’s name changed to “Conquest” (from Elimination)
  
• Conquest map optimization, with new placements, improved graphics, bug fixes, and other improvements.
  
• Health Pickup locations have been changed since previous tests.
  
• Health pickups now give the hero a percentage of their max HP and mana instead of a flat rate. Heroes receive 33% of their max HP and 25% of their max Mana.
  
• Reduced the number of tickets gained from destroying lane towers by 50.
  
• Reduced Tier 1 tower HP.

• Reduced [Emergency Armor] armor gain to 50%.
  
• [Aversion] rune has been temporarily removed from the game as it is undergoing a rework.

• All summons now have a unique special ability that can be activated during the game. Special abilities need to be unlocked from the main menu before they can be used in-game. Activating summon special abilities does not cost any utility resources, but they do have a cooldown. 
  
• Increased summoned minion’s movement speed.
  
• Improvements made to the summon's AI.
