#ORBITAL STRIKE INCOMING GIF FULL#

If you have a powerful device check out the updated Valley, Canyon, and Abyss - maps they received full visual overhauls.Īs always, you can follow the Test Server here. The map was updated with better lighting and tremendously improved ground textures.We have cut it from 9 to 7% at max level. The main bit of feedback was directed at the durability bonus - it was too high.We still haven't fixed that, but next week we will. Also, there is a bug that makes these weapons very loud.We will stick to this mechanic and slightly buff the weapons for the next test. That really allowed the acid spitters to stand out when compared to flamethrowers. The new firing mechanic was received much better.Toxin had some issues with its model last time.We will buff the shields, but this change might not come in time for this weekend's test. However, its shields kept going off a tad too quickly. Overall, with the changes from the last test Revenant played more like a tank and less like a saboteur - just as we initially intended.Now it resembles Phantom much more and is much less bug-ish.Īfter some discussions on Discord, we went with the second on the left Revenant received a new base paint job.Teleportation range reduction (500 → 350m) was received pretty darn well.Tweaks to the blast visuals - we are making them more telegraphed (and more spectacular overall).Orbital Strike should trigger significantly less often (no more than 2 times per match for every player) This time we're testing what was announced last week ( link): Let's have a look at what has changed since the last test session. If Orbitals are going through, let's find a way to make them good. We have addressed some of the biggest complaints (mainly, their extremely low cooldowns). I ask you to give the updated Orbitals another chance on the upcoming test server. The way Orbitals were set up on their first test servers felt unbalanced and confusing, which definitely contributed to the negative reception. And yet it is clear that we missed our chance to make a good initial impression. Some ask: do we see any positive feedback for the Orbital Strikes? Yes, we do. Moreover, their most exciting parts won't be gated behind additional items - at the very start, everyone with profile level 30 will receive their own Dreadnought and will be able to effectively use it in battle (getting a Kid once your account is ready for Titans is a good parallel). We aim to make spaceships as clear, streamlined, and fun to use as possible. We still keep looking into the ways to make drones' presence on the battlefield less chaotic, but that's another story - we'll get back to it.Įverything we learned with drones was applied to Orbital Strikes. Secondly, things that are too varied or too random tend to make balancing incredibly tricky.Firstly, things that do everything at once make everything around them feel less special.Okay, we really need to talk about it, don't we? Orbital Strikes Artemiy here from the War Robots team aga.
