Guest Harkness Report post Posted February 13, 2017 New Machine: Killer J Full Character Page: http://www.heavymetalmachines.com/site/killerj/ Weapon 1 - Round-a-Blast: Shoots projectiles forward that deal 10 damage per projectile and forces the enemies' vehicles to turn. Weapon 2 - Friendly Rockets: Shoots a frontal missile. When it hits, it deals 75 damage and accelerates the enemy while locking his direction. Deals 25 area damage when the effects ends. Special Weapon - The Big Joke: Launches an area-exploding barrel forward. Enemies hit spin out of control and take 50 damage per second for 3 seconds. Advantage - A Compliment: Killer J reflects 50% of all damage taken back to his attackers - this has a 3 seconds cooldown. Gameplay Changes We changed how the Cooldown Reduction mechanic works, upgrades that reduce cooldown now do that for a period of time, instead of instantaneously. It works pretty much like a buff that accelerates your cooldown by the same duration that the buff stays on, so a one second reduction will reduce one second of the cooldown over one second, and not instantaneously. We've added a new server. Asia now has it's own place to play HMM! All items in the store can now be purchased with CASH. CASH is now sold for all the currencies accepted by Steam directly in the game store. Killer J has not been added to the Free Rotation and must be purchased with Fame or Cash before being played. Two new items have been added to the store: Fame Boost: Doubles your fame gain in all your matches while the boost is active. XP Boost: Doubles your XP gains in all your matches while the boost is active. Balance Windrider Weapon 1, Upgrade - Ancestral Emissary: Now reduces the cooldown of Road Wraiths by 1 second over 1 second. Rampage Weapon 1, Upgrade - Wreckage Master: Now reduces the cooldown of Demolition Engine by 1 second over 1 second. Clunker Weapon 1, Upgrade - Tow charger: Now reduces the cooldown of Thunder Tow by 1 second over 1 second. Full Metal Judge Weapon 1, Upgrade - Warning shot: Now reduces the cooldown of Blockade Breach by 0,2 seconds over 0,2 seconds. Dirt Devil Weapon 1, Upgrade - King of the Dunes: Now reduces the cooldown of Devil's Harpoon by 0,2 seconds over 0,2 second. Server Problems We have deployed the fix for the issues the European server was facing during the Weekend, that should not happen again. We have greatly improved the connection code so that players will not get disconnected from the match due to minor internet/connection issues. This should make the game more stable for everyone.

Rarah 0 Report post Posted February 14, 2017 (edited) Couple things regarding this update. *It seems the crashing has worsened since the update. At least once every 2 games now. Not sure if this is due to the rush of players playing currently? *Could you further explain thoughts around making the Balance change? *I find this character clever and very fun to play with so far! Can't wait to see more. Edited February 14, 2017 by Rarah Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
