Update 0.6.6 – Release Notes

This small patch fixes a few bugs we found in Update 0.6.5, and adds improvements to Combat and UI. Expect significant new changes, improvements, and a good deal of new content in our next Major Update, slated for next week!

COMBAT

• Improved Blocking mechanics: successful Blocks are physically blended and more accurately felt
• Reduced delays after blocking to allow faster return attacks
• Added penalty of 1.5x damage for being hit from behind
• Removed the possibility of blocking an attack from behind; AI players also can no longer block attacks from behind

UI

• Added Voice icon over players’ heads when Push to Talk is active

BUG FIXES

• Weapon impacts on characters would sometimes play “metal” hit effects instead of normal FX
• Announcer voice would be clipped short at the conclusion of Online games
• Sounds played by Khwarizmi’s attacks were not properly attenuated
