Patch Update #679 - Released 18th February 2022

 

• A new augment for Firebird added to the Ultra Containers — «Jamming mix».

  • [Note] It always applies the «Jammer» status effect when you deal damage but heating is decreased.

• Interface update:

  • New game lobby interface;

  • New Garage interface;

  • Minor interface updates for other screens.

• Tesla:

  • Chain lightning reload decreased from 1.00 to 0.90 s.

  • [Note] The previous reduction of the rate of fire happened together with the reduction of ball lightning damage. It turned out that the reduction of the rate of fire wasn’t needed.

• Smoky:

  • Projectile speed increased from 250 to 350 m/sec.

  • [Note] Misses at short range when aiming at an enemy wasn't planned as a side effect of slowing down the speed of projectiles.

• Striker:

  • Min projectile speed decreased from 15-20 to 10-20 m/sec;

  • Max rocket speed increased from 300 to 350 m/sec;

  • Time to reach max rocket speed decreased from 2.0 to 1.5 s.

    • «Remote rocket explosives» augment — no longer affects max rocket speed.

• Thunder:

  • Projectile speed increased from 300 to 350 m/sec.

  • [Note] Now the max projectile speed for all medium-range turrets is the same.

• Hornet:

  • Overdrive charge duration increased from 180 to 210 seconds.

• Dictator:

  • The «Supercharge» status effect duration increased from 7 to 9 seconds.

  • [Note] Supercharge means guaranteed critical damage.

• Ares:

  • Damage/Healing radius increased from 10 to 12 m.

• Repair kit:

  • Activating a repair kit completely removes heat and freeze, instead of doing it partially.

  • [Note] We will see how this update will affect the gameplay and will consider an option to add immunity to other status effects when you activate a repair kit.

• Equipment change cooldown increased from 9 to 10 minutes. 

  • (Note) You are right, we keep increasing the cooldown intentionally. Ask us why and we will answer in the V-LOG.

• Fixed anti-flood system’s behavior so it won’t be breaking links with uppercase letters

• Fixed the bug when you use overdrive before becoming a Juggernaut. After becoming a normal tank again, the energy bar worked wrong until your tank is destroyed or until you use overdrive again.

• Fixed the bug with flickering texts when going from any section to the modules section of the Garage

• Fixed the browser’s «Back» button behavior.

• Now you see large previews of drones when you get them from containers.

I focus on that thing what's bad...

[ZivOfficial 290]

Not bad, I like the Dictator OD & Ares OD buff

[Marekos1111 3,091]

Thunder change seems interesting for parkour, but it's disappointing for me to see that equipment change has been increased again.

Welp time to see more mechanic drones in the battle field. 

[Dopamine 2,161]

Looking forward to try the buffed dictator tomorrow, also really happy that smoky got back some of its shot speed.

I don't think Hornet OD was strengthened. Instead, it will now take more time to passively charge up OD.

I know, I corrected myself

My hornet ........

[Hypersomnia 1,695]

Equipment change cooldown should not effect immunities when you change a hull. what i mean is for example i had hornet with AP immunity i changed into dictator EMP but i forgot to change dictators immunity to AP now i have to wait 10 mins just to change immunity. ofc after i change immunity like that it gets that 10 cooldown

I actually don't mind the equipment cooldown increase. Why? It will make the game feel more competitive and more skill play involved.

Not a very interesting augment in my opinion, it works exactly the same as the one Freeze has.

Interface update:

• New game lobby
• interface; New Garage interface;

Finally, I have already seen it in the test server but I am still excited to check it out on the main servers!

I don't mind this one as Tesla is not as strong as it used to be before.

Smoky:

• Projectile speed increased from 250 to 350 m/sec.

I have seen many players complaining about the Projectile speed (especially in eSports) so I am glad to see the speed being increased.

 

6 hours ago, Marcus said:

Striker:

• Min projectile speed decreased from 15-20 to 10-20 m/sec;
• Max rocket speed increased from 300 to 350 m/sec;
• Time to reach max rocket speed decreased from 2.0 to 1.5 s.

Striker is probably one of the best (if not the best) turret in the game, I feel like its damage should be decreased.

6 hours ago, Marcus said:

Thunder:

• Projectile speed increased from 300 to 350 m/sec.

Not bad, even though Thunder deserves a huge buff in my opinion.

6 hours ago, Marcus said:

Hornet:

• Overdrive charge duration increased from 180 to 210 seconds.

I guess that is a fair change, especially because Hornet's OD is deadly with turrets like Freeze and Striker.

6 hours ago, Marcus said:

Dictator:

• The «Supercharge» status effect duration increased from 7 to 9 seconds.

Dictator is an underrated hull, hopefully people will start using it more now. 

6 hours ago, Marcus said:

Ares:

• Damage/Healing radius increased from 10 to 12 m.

I've said it eariler, Ares is probably the most underrated hull in the game. I wish to see more people using it, but I feel like the slow gameplay is what makes players pick other hulls.

Repair kit:

• Activating a repair kit completely removes heat and freeze, instead of doing it partially.

Good addition to repair kits. I really want to see the old version of the repair kit in the game, though.

Not very happy about that, but maybe the developers have something in mind.

[alkyng 3,080]

Interesting changes - Also not sure if that means RRE wont have any disadvantage now (except of clicking spacebar many times in sake of a direct second subsequent shot) RRE players only who can understand

- Good change for Smoky and Thunder, eventhough I think Smoky needs a quicker shot speed 500+.

Heck yeah!!! Time to see more dictators with high fire rate and DPS turrets along with the mechanic drone and heck even with some status augments.  Can't wait fot those 9 seconds of destruction.

I was clearly being sarcastic. But seriously. High dps with high fire rate turrets will get more annoying especially if its a status effect. 

I mentioned mechanic because it would be indirectly buffed.  Also dont forget 9 seconds of crit healing from support nanobots. 

[Unravel 1,486]

Really nice changes this time.

Some things like increasing Tesla's rate of fire and decreasing Hornet's Overdrive passive charge rate seem disappointing.

New interface, buff of Ares overdrive and changes to Repair kit are nice. Keep those up.

Tesla's consecutive nerfs had made this Turret pretty bad, as the ball lightning was cut in half. I put it in the same Tier as Thunder

I think a 0.1 reload speed was deserved. Will be interesting to see how Tesla will perform now.
