Update v2.0.0

This is our first major update since release!

Welcome to all of the new players who have joined us over the past month as we transitioned away from the old free-to-play model. We are looking forward to providing you with more content to enjoy.

On to the patch notes!

New Stuff

• A new co-op playlist has been added: Chippingrounds

  • Currently this playlist only has one gametype: Survival

    • In this mode, players fight waves of monsters with a shared pool of lives. Defeating all of the waves with at least one player left alive will result in victory. If all players are killed and all lives have been consumed or time runs out before all of the enemy waves are cleared, the match will end in defeat

• A new PvP playlist has been added: Big Team (8v8)

• Added an announcer that voices many different events in the game such as obtaining medals, announcing gametypes, time left, etc.

• Added a 'copy to clipboard' button for social links on the Title screen

• Added a red vignette effect when you are below 100% health

• There is now a Weekly Challenge to complete each week that will give a large amount of Chips as a reward

• New Daily Challenges have been added for the new co-op mode Chippingrounds

• A 'continue' button has been added to the end of a match that will place you back in to the match lobby if you desire to play another match

• Each server button displayed on Title screen will now show your latency to that server without needing to connect to it first

  • Chiptacular - 6 consecutive kills

• New Medal: Watch Your Step - Become the last player alive in a chippinground match with 0 lives left

• The match time has been added to the match results screen

• Some basic localization has been added to important text throughout the game to help those who have trouble understanding english. The following languages are supported:

  • English

  • Spanish

  • Portuguese

  • Chinese

  • Japanese

• A new 'sightline' has been added to the Sword and Sniper weapons when charging them that shows you exactly where your weapon will fire

• An outline has been added to player characters and pets to make them stand out a bit more

• The new outline around players will turn red if that player is not on your team during a match, making your targets easier to distinguish from your own team

• The new outline will turn blue for players that are in your group, unless they are on the opposite team in a match

• The social lobby has been updated with new buildings that players can enter and explore

• Added a Software Cursor toggle in the settings menu (this will make the cursor larger)

• Added a subtle particle effect when damaging enemies

Changes

• All microtransactions have been removed. Any extra Bukkits that players have will be automatically converted to Chips upon login with a message that shows the amount

  • The VIP and FAN packages are being combined in to a VIP DLC Pack that will be available soon
