• Replaced the recent soul duplication hotfix with new behavior. Pre 10 min, lanes now always split orbs when there are more heroes than the assigned participants for that lane (3+ people in a dual lane, 2+ people in a solo). Previously it only split with 3+ people regardless of the lane, which is what allowed soul abuses when dipping into a solo lane.
  • Private lobbies can now assign players to duo and solo lanes
  • Fixed some recent bugs with Vindicta Flight that could cause some large bursts in a direction
  • Fixed being able to shoot while using Ethereal Shift and flying with Vindicta
  • Veil Walker: Fire Rate reduced from 30% to 20%

    I’m surprised they are still even doing a play test. It’s been going for a month now with over 60,000 people online everyday when I get home from work. I won’t complain though. I’m already at over 100 hours and it’s been scratching my itch for a hero shooter. Sure it’s completely different than most hero shooters I play since it’s a MOBA, but it’s already way more fun than Overwatch.

      It’s weird how fun it is.

      It’s a playtest because while the game is very far along, it’s not even close to done.

      The map is largely WIP. The bases are basically test boxes with textures. A few updates ago the jump-pads were just a glowing thing that made you fly, and the ropes were all done using them because they didn’t exist yet.

      A lot of the heroes are carry-overs from Neon Prime. Warden, Yamato, Bebop, are all at least partially their old sci-fi designs (Yamato is a literal alien) and will receive COMPLETE visual replacements at some point.

      Some item icons are placeholders, with several items using the same icons. Some items just got added in the last big update.

      And mechanics are still being developed. Vindictas flight ability received very significant changes in the last big update. Dashes can now be used while flying, without interrupting the ability.

      I’m sure there’s more, and will be even more.

        What’s up with Warden? His design looks the part, retro-looking cop, nothing sci-fi at all.

        Bebop, McGinnis, Yamato, Kelvin do look off though, like they’re not really on the 1920s

          From what i understand they pivoted the art style at some point. It used to be futuristic/cyberpunky. But then they shifted to something mystical. I really have to say i like it. I think the mix and design is sick.

    Since the patch I’ve had three crashes when there was a lot going on on screen.

    Do I have to report that on the forums?
