Patch Notes beta.0.0.0.633 – 21.03.2018

This week’s update brings a total of 475 fixes, and we are listing here the 71 major ones that can be commonly noted by players. In addition, Metal Herald has received some important tunings.

General

  • A message blocker has been added for SPAM messages.
    • This will prevent the same message to be sent multiple times.
  • Some keys have been blocked to be used as hotkeys.

Dev Notes: We have detected some international keyboard related problems, which has some different keys in comparison to the conventional one. We decided to block some keys of being hotkeys options until we can create a new solution.

Metal Herald

  • General
      • Severely reduced the gain of Special Weapon when you hit Weapon 1 and 2 to compensate two fixed bugs.
        • Problem of no gain of Special Weapon when Metal Herald gives a shield to allies has been fixed.
        • Problem of Metal Herald’s Special Weapon gain even if it doesn’t hit any target has been fixed.
  • Weapon 1
      • Cooldown has been increased from 1 to 1.5 seconds.
  • Weapon 2
    • Cooldown has been increased from 1.75 to 3 seconds.
    • Life’s cost to use the weapon has been increased from 70 to 180.
    • Now Metal Herald gets the double of Special Weapon gain when he hits the enemy with the full weapon.

Dev Notes: After a lot of community feedback, we’ve made some changes on Metal Herald that we believe will provide a better experience with the pilot for both players who play with and players who play against him.
