    E aí, Lusks!

    Seja muito bem vindo :D

     

    Muito obrigado por tirar um tempinho para nos enviar essas sugestões. Aproveitando o gancho da sua última sugestão, vou adiantar que o sistema de feedbacks e sugestões funciona melhor através do nosso servidor no Discord. É lá que a comunidade costuma se reunir para tratar de discussões do jogo e não só de deixar feedbacks, como também votar nos outros que foram postados para sabermos quais são os mais aceitos. A cada duas semanas separamos quais foram os Top 5 mais votados pela comunidade e, ao fim do mês, os Top 5 mais votados do mês ganham uma resposta dos nossos game designers, comentando a sugestão dada, se há planos para ela ser implementada ou não e, se não, qual o motivo disso. Queria te convidar para se juntar a nós por lá! Jogadores como você costumam agregar bastante para as discussões e crescimento da comunidade :)

    E não se preocupe! Não falou nenhuma bobagem e nós adoramos quando os jogadores engajam assim e compartilham sua opinião. É positivo pra todo mundo!

    Ah! E entrando no Discord, você recebe uma skin grátis no jogo. É só falar comigo por lá: Saramantis#0776. Te vejo por lá?

    Agora vejo que o jogador que receber esse ultimate perde o controle do carro, mas não especifica quem ganha o controle. É a Ambulance? Se sim, será que não pode gerar um gameplay frustrante para quem receber essa ultimate, caso as duas pessoas não sejam amigas e não estejam se comunicando? Por exemplo: o transportador está confiante de que consegue fazer o gol, está se encaminhando para isso, porém esse suporte intervém, tenta ajudar, mas acaba errando o gol. Parece um ponto fácil de se gerar rage. Além de facilitar o trabalho de pessoas mal intencionadas ou trolls.

     

    Hahaha só pontos que pensei, Cold! Espero que não se importe :)

    Obrigado pelo feedback, um0rt4l.

    O motivo da restrição de horário é para garantir que os jogadores que temos vão saber quando se encontrar, para evitar esperas muito longas nas filas (já que ainda não temos uma grande base de jogadores). Se deixássemos ela aberta 24h (como gostaríamos), os jogadores teriam mais dificuldade para se encontrar, já que cada um tentaria entrar na fila quando fosse mais conveniente para si. Com a janela de abertura limitada, nós conseguimos contornar esse problema por enquanto.

    Sobre o número de jogadores: nós permitimos, por um tempo, que os jogadores jogassem em duo, porém isso acabou mais frustrações do que boas experiências. Sabemos que é importante poder curtir a fila ranqueada junto de um amigo e queremos reabilitar essa opção no futuro. A gente já tá trabalhando em melhoras e esperamos ver elas implementadas no futuro. A rankeada em 3 seria muito difícil de balancear (já que são 3 jogadores possivelmente se comunicando) e exigiria colocá-los contra outros 3 jogadores que também estão juntos, e aí esbarríamos no problema da base de jogadores novamente, e acabaríamos tendo um tempo de espera na fila longo para aqueles que quisessem jogar em 3.

     

    Espero ter respondido suas questões :)

    Oi, fallencrow!

    Muito obrigado por tirar um tempo para nos enviar esse report.

    Sentimos muito que você tenha passado por isso no Heavy Metal Machines. Recebemos mais report desses mesmos jogadores e ambos já estão devidamente banidos pelas suas atitudes, que infringiam nossas Regras de Conduta.

     

    Obrigado por ajudar a manter a comunidade do HMM mais saudável e positiva!

    Hello, Metal Gladiators!

    As we already shared during our live streams, we have the road map of new contents coming this year to Heavy Metal Machines. This list was made based on the development of the game and priorities were decided with the help of the community. However, we know that new things might show up during this journey and we will do our best to keep you updated about it.


    So here's the roadmap:


    May

    • Bug Fixes (May 22)
    • Metal League SA (May 25)

     

    July

    • Metal Pass Season 5 (July 10)
    • Pilot 17 (July 10)
    • Ranked Mode (second half of July)
    • Gamepad/Controller (second half of July)

     

    August

    • Metal League NA (August 10)

     

    September

    • Metal Pass Season 6 (September 25)
    • Pilot 18 (September 25)

     

    About next week's update, we expect to fix the following bugs:

    • Fixed a bug where Black Lotus incorrectly accelerated forward when combining reflected damage from weapon 2 and using weapon 3 (also known as Super Dash for some community members).
    • Fixed a bug where Black Lotus' weapon 2 reflected the damage from enemies but canceled its own out of combat self-repair.
    • Fixed a bug where Black Lotus' weapon 2 did not cancel enemies' self-repair.
    • Fixed a bug where Black Lotus' weapon 2 made enemies start their out of combat self-repair earlier than expected.
    • Fixed a bug where Wildfire's passive was activated even when hitting a barrier (i.e., Rampage's passive).
    • Fixed a bug where Wildfire's weapon 1 was triggering its impact and area damage at different times.
    • Fixed a bug where Wildfire's weapon 2 explosion wasn't being blocked by barriers (i.e., Rampage's passive and Icebringer's weapon 2).
    • Fixed a bug where Wildfire's weapon 3 didn't activate the trail animation.
    • Fixed a bug where Icebringer could not be pushed while using weapon 3.
    • Fixed a rare bug where Clunker's weapon 2 dealt damage but didn't pull the enemy.
    • Fixed a bug where Clunker's weapon 2 sometimes crossed walls, improperly dealing damage and/or grabbing enemies on its way back.
    • Fixed a bug where VFX from different characters were improperly activated during matches, getting stuck to the arena or even to the machines.
    • Fixed a bug where it was possible to rebuild the machine inside the stones at the center of Metal God Arena.
    • Fixed a bug on the Temple of Sacrifice arena, where a collider at the delivery point was improperly positioned.
    • Fixed a bug where exiting a match during the last score, while the victory/defeat animation is running caused the client to crash.

     

    We also are working to fix these other known bugs:

    • Rampage's weapon 3 behavior is inconsistent in some situations.
    • Dirt Devil's weapon 3 randomly getting stuck during the match, forcing the machine to get back to where the harpoon is attached.
    • Bomb fights not triggering in some situations.
    • Bomb getting through blockers in some situations.

     

    If you have any questions or need any help, talk to one of our Community Managers here on our Discord channel!

     

    See you all in the arenas!

    Hello, Metal Gladiators!

    We wanted to share more information with you regarding bugfixes. We have a list of the most important bugs that we will be working on. We plan to have them fixed in the middle of May. Here’s the list of priority fixes that we plan to deliver by said date:

    1. Rampage’s weapon 3 with inconsistent behavior
    2. Black Lotus’ super dash
    3. Black Lotus’ weapon 2 not canceling the opponent’s “out of combat”
    4. Camera during respawn
    5. Icebringer becoming immune to pushes while using his weapon 3
    6. Clunker’s hook dealing damage but not pulling
    7. Wildfire’s passive triggering even when hitting a barrier
    8. Invulnerability not protecting “out of combat” status
    9. GFX stuck to the arena and characters
    10. Clunker’s hook return looking messy
    11. Dirt Devil’s weapon 3 inconsistent behavior
    12. Bomb disputes with inconsistent behavior


    If you have any questions, feel free to talk to me or any of our Community Managers.
    To report a bug, you can always head to http://www.heavymetalmachines.com/support/.

    Hello there, Mr. Fox!

    Awesome ideas. Thanks for taking the time to share this with us :)

     

    Your inputs on balance will be taken to our devs so they can it into consideration. We are aware that some pilots are in need of some love (hello, Photon!) and we'll be working on that as soon as we can. 

    On the map's subject, we are also interested in creating new maps for the game, as we agree that it breathes new life and possibilities into the game. We don't have a date set for when it will be released but rest assured we hear you!

    We are studying ways to reintroduce (we had one before the Combat Test) the Garage, where you could improve the pilots' weapons. We also don't have a date set for when this future will come back to the game, but it's something we are aiming for. 

     

    Once again, thanks for sharing this with us! If you think of any other suggestions, don't hesitate to bring them to us :)

    • Interface’s optimization during a match.

     

    Dev Notes: We’ve just started to use a new tool to implement the interface, which will optimize the game’s performance. We started this job first with the minimap, being the first feature to receive it. This optimization is another step in our goal to improve the game’s interface performance that we are working on.
