Version 0.6.0.0

General changes

• Added new, premium items to the shop

• Added new, non-premium items to the shop

• Added the ability to buy premium currency (called Crystal Core), using secure Steam Wallet transaction

• All experimental weapons now have "Experimental: " in their name

• When spectating a match, auto spectate is now turned on by default. You can turn it off with the space key

• "Reset" voiceline has now different lines considering if the player has the ball or not

• When previewing a different character in lobby, weapons disabled by lobby rulesets are updated correctly

• Fixed an issue where the player could not log in, if they had too many items

• Attacks and other animations can no longer be interrupted by skills (like throwing a grenade)

• Player killing themselves with an environmental damage (like exploding barrel) will no longer result in a takedown announcement

• Reduced the overall motion blur amount

• Updated the currency icon

Weapons, Skills, Balance

• All explosives on maps now have damage falloff

Pipe on Austral

• Duration increased from 3s to 4s

• Damage per tick decreased from 10 to 7

• Range decreased by 50%

• Can now be properly damaged by AOE damage (like grenade)

Shotgun

• Removed the delay from the shoot sound

• Removed the delay from the shoot animation, it now shoots instantly

Energy blade

• Dash hitbox duration (the time where it can detect enemies hit) has been reduced from 0.8s to 0.4s

• Dash speed and distance has been reduced

• Knockback distance has been increased

• Jump attack animation has increased from 1.3s to 2s. It can be cancelled early with a heavy attack, or a dodge.

• Jump attack hitbox has been decreased. It can now be jumped over in some cases

• We've also reduced the hitbox, and increased the animation duration for the jump attack, but added the ability to be able to dodge out of it, roughly at the same timing as it was before.

Energy blade has been dominating the game lately, not for the good reasons. With these changes, we want to ensure that just holding right click, you cannot chain it infinitely, thanks to increased knockback distance, and reduced dash distance. We've also reduced the duration where it registers hits, so it will now be harder to do the full 3 tick of damage from dash, if you do it from afar.

Heavy Wrench

• Right click impact hitbox has been reduced from 1.5m to 1m

Rocket Fists

• Jump attack and Right click attack can now be interrupted quicker with another attack, or a dodge

• Fixed a bug where players could jump attack after getting hit with a Fists right click attack

• Players can now dodge out after getting hit by Fist right click attack, and it will execute a liberation dodge (with no additional SP cost)

Power Katana

• Getting interrupted during an attack will now properly stop the movement too - it used to slide forward with no animation

Bots

Added a new difficulty option to room settings: Auto. This will automatically set each bot's difficulty to match each player's level. This setting will now be the default for quickplay and custom rooms, but owners can change it to a fixed difficulty.

We've also reworked the behaviour of the bots on many levels. Easy bots should be easier now, bots should use melees now a lot worse, have longer reaction times, and make more mistakes on all difficulty levels.

Bots also are not that focused on scoring on lower levels, so you should not see bots just running past cross-eyed defenders in an easy match anymore.

• Fixed an issue where Defenders on Team A would go outside of their base to a random position

• Fixed bots not be able to reset the ball on Crossways, and just standing still

• Fixed bots not be able to reset the ball on Tunnels, and just standing still near the energy wall

• Easy bots no longer shake their mouse violently, while roughly keeping the same accuracy

• Added new community bots

Experimental

• Reload duration decreased from 3.3s to 3s
