Greetings Everyone,

We have a major client update today which contains many improvements!

General:

• Resolved an issue that was causing spectator mode to not correctly end when the match ends.
  
• Updated the movement interaction of Large champions so they are easier to move.
  
• Updated the targeting interaction of Large champions to correctly scale to the target’s size.
  
• The deployment area will no longer highlight invalid locations depending on if the champion is large or small.
  
• Improved how text wraps within the game.

PC:

• The Left and Right arrow keys can now be used to navigate text in the chat window for editing.
  
• The Up and Down arrow keys can now be used to cycle through the previously submitted message from the player.
  
• Hitting the Enter or / keys will always open the chat window and then automatically put the cursor in the text field.
  
• Fixed an issue where the player couldn’t click off of the chat window to use quick command keys?
  
• Resolution settings will now persist between play sessions.
  
• The options menu can now be opened from the map screen.
  
• Switching chat tabs while there is text written but not submitted will no longer automatically submit the text.
  
• Using left click to pan the map while a champion is movement mode will no longer be counted as a movement command for that champion.
  
• When the chat tabs are closed and a player receives a private message the Text on the tab ‘Global’ and ‘Guild’ will transition from White to Light Blue and back. This is more subtle than the old client to not distract players while in-matches.
  
• The Pox Nora logo will now be correctly displayed on the Windows Taskbar and in the upper left corner of the application window when playing in Windowed Mode.

Greetings Everyone,

A new hotfix has been deployed to Pox Nora. This hotfix is all server related, so PC, PS4, and Mac players will all get the benefits of this change.

Hotfix

• The issue causing Custom Bot matches to occasionally stay on the loading screen indefinitely has now been fully isolated and will no longer occur. This ended up being related to the system that allowed bots to use Player Decks. For the time being bots will not use player decks until a new system can be implemented.
  
• All players will now correctly receive League Rewards when reaching a new league. These rewards will appear as packs in the Marketplace Rewards section of the lobby when they are awarded.
  
• Daily and Heroic Quest will now properly give track progress and award the correct rewards upon completion for all players.
  
• The ability Rapid Growth will now correctly start on cooldown and will go on cooldown when activated.

Note: All missed rewards from the League and Quest issues have not yet been retroactively rewarded. We want to make absolutely sure these are 100% not happening for anyone before giving out any compensation.

Steam Summer Sale

The Steam Summer Sale is still active until the 5th of July so make sure you pick up the Pox Nora Steam Bundles before they return to their normal prices.
