How to Play

If you've participated in previous playtest, or at least got access and downloaded the game — just update Dominance and jump into the game!

If you're a new player — simply go to Dominance Steam page, click “Request Access”. After receiving confirmation press "Play the Game" to install the game’s client.

There are no restrictions on when or how long to play — simply launch the game any time you want and play as long as you want until November 20th at 11:00 pm PST! If there are not enough players in the match — the game will add bots for you to play against.

How to play with friends

1. Open your Friend list and click “+Invites”

1. Type in the nickname of the player you want to add. IMPORTANT: Upon 1st launch the game will ask you to come up with a nickname — you have to write this nickname to add a friend and NOT their Steam nickname.

1. After your friend accepts the invitation, you can find them in your Friend list. Simply click on their profile in the list and select “Invite to Party”

1. Voila! Just click “Play” and you’ll be on the same team when the match begins. You can have up to 3 people playing on one team.

Error 002 - Server is not responding

This error means that the game’s server is currently offline. While we do our best to make sure it works properly throughout the playtest — some hiccups can still occur. If you’re met with this error upon entering the game — just try starting it again a couple minutes later.

Patch Notes

Gameplay changes

• Valkyrie — lowered base defence, base health and shields

• Lowered defence penetration for Valkyrie’s perk — from 15/30/45 to 10/15/25

• Extended cooldown time for Valkyrie’s signature ability

• Changed projectile behaviour for Arbalet — now it shoots out multiple bolts, akin to a shotgun.

• Changed Arbalet’s alternative attack. Now debuffs from the alt.attack persist on the target for some time after it leaves the area of effect. Time depends on Arbalet’s upgrade level: 1/1.5/2/3 seconds

• Laser — longer time between damage ticks, warms up (from lower base damage to its highest), lowered range of the beam

• Removed tier 3 items from super chests — they now drop only tier 2 items

• Removed tier 4 items from air-drops (living chests) — now they drop only tier 3 items

Interface

• Swapped icons for all artefacts for the new ones

• Added the option to switch regions (right now only Eastern Europe and South America are available)

• Weapon tab in the Main Menu now shows stats for each individual weapon

• Character tab in the Main Menu now shows all the stats for a selected hero

Level design and map improvements

• Visual upgrades for multiple zones on the map

Bug fixes

• Fixed the bug when crosshairs wouldn’t change color to indicate a hit

• Fixed the Bat’s alternative attack. Now it correctly reflects projectiles back

• Fixed the gear usage bug after respawn

• Fixed the invisible weapons getting stuck in use, which made it impossible to shoot

• Fixed the bug allowing to shoot in Deployment phase with less than 1 minute on the timer

• Fixed the bug where airdrops would be displayed incorrectly on the full map

Thank you for your interest in Dominance and see you in the game, dominators!
