GAME FIXES

Stability

Fixed a rare bug in attack-move code that would cause the server to silently crash late-game (possible index out of bounds when heavily throttled)

Pathing & Targeting

Fixed a bug where ranged units would run too close at the start of a wave

Technical Details: “far-away” targets range increased to a flat amount, rather than acquisition range dependent - this means targets that are out of attack range but still somewhat near will be considered

Sea Serpent & Deepcoiler

Now much less likely to run into the cave
No longer affect the wave pathing while burrowing (They are now invulnerable at the start of the wave until they pop out)

Routing

Fixed a bug where units that made it to the cave while the wave was still in progress (typically Sea Serpent and Deepcoiler) would get stuck in a loop (Units that make it to the cave while wave in progress will now warp to above the gate if the player hasn’t cleared yet, instead of in the catch area below the gate)

4v4 Map

Fixed a bug where player 4 and player 8 had fighters that appeared ‘underground’
Fixed a bug where deploying fighters in the mid regions caused them to be invisible and not appear on the scoreboard

Catch Area

Moved down a bit, to prevent units from being aggroed across the gate (and teleporting repeatedly)

LOBBY UPDATES

Reconnection 2.0

Improved reliability of tracking games in progress, which should fix a lot of cases where you couldn’t reconnect to a game

Technical Details: Rewrote unified data structure for storing game in progress data, and decoupled it from ActiveGames API call which is not always up-to-date

Global Chat

Now shows all players, including those who are in-game. Players in-game will be grayed out.

Player Data Updates

Fixed some cases where outdated data was used/shown (User data is now cached immediately whenever it is written to the backend)

Custom Games

Removed “-reroll” command, since you can already reroll normally

Friends List Optimization

Removed taglines from friends list (unfortunately this is a performance bottleneck, so we will likely keep it disabled for now)
Significantly improved performance (mostly noticeable on backend, not really noticeable for players)
This should fix some rare miscellaneous bugs that result from server load, such as ratings occasionally not being updated after a game

Technical Details: Replaced instances of GetPlayerCombinedInfo with GetPlayerProfile whenever possible, especially in Friends List. Also only pulls statistics when needed, such as viewing a profile or in loading screen. This should reduce backend load considerably, since GetPlayerProfile scrapes way less data.

GAME UPDATES

Bot Guidance: Mercenary Pings

Now you can ping a mercenary (right click) to tell your bot to prefer sending that mercenary
It only considers your most recently pinged mercenary
It clears the ping each wave after mercenaries are warped
More improvements/commands to come in the future

Bots

Now smarter about when to deploy certain fighters, including Bone Crusher

GAME INTERFACE

All Menus

Improved responsiveness of various menus when alt+tabbing (MouseOver/MouseLeave events are now forced when application focuses/unfocuses). This should make it less likely to accidentally select the wrong Legion, for example.

Chat Mutes

Your mutes are now saved between sessions
You can find your mute list in your game files (Config/Mutes.txt)

New Interface Option: Show All Ratings

Turn on to show all rating changes in the loading screen & post-game stats. Off by default.

Text Commands

”-rolls” now shows icons as well as initial rolls

Healing Text

Added small green healing text when a unit heals due to lifesteal. Lifesteal now feels even better!

Debugging

Added “-clientbug” command for reporting a bug with the client (this will upload your logs) WARNING This has been known to freeze some people’s computers!
Improved server teardown logging to help debug rare cases where backend pushes (stat/profile updates) failed at the end of the game

Minor Fixes

Chat Window Focus: Chat window no longer requires an extra click to close, when clicking something outside the chat window
Advanced Camera: Fixed a bug where advanced camera hotkeys (Home, End, Delete) would accidentally work even while chatting
Team Chat: Fixed a bug where allied game chat would appear twice in your Team Chat while you were selecting a legion
King HP: Now rounds up, since it looked weird to have king HP at 0% when it wasn’t dead
Localization: Fixed some miscellaneous text bugs

MATCHMAKING

Matchmaking

Now much faster for solos and duos rated <1200

“The Button”

Fast matchmaking via “the button” is now available for solos and duos rated 1500+, instead of 1600+

Duo penalty

Duo penalty for teams with large differences in ratings (e.g. an 1700 duo’d with a 1200)
- Decreased for teams in which the highest rated member of the duo is <2000 rating (the penalty was too punishing for most teams)
- Increased for teams in which the highest rated member of the duo is 2000+ rating (to discourage people from smurf-boosting to the top of the ladder)

Leaver forgiveness

Leaver forgiveness detection is now more friendly and activates more often: 3 waves disconnected and not present at the end of the game -> 2 waves disconnected and not present at the end of the game OR 4 waves disconnected

Rating decay

Rating decay for 1800+: Now starts after 2 weeks, instead of 4 weeks. Now 5 rating/day, instead of 3/day
Rating decay for 1400-1800: Unchanged (4 weeks, 3 rating/day)
Your rating cannot decay below 1400

Too many players camping the top of the leaderboard

FAIRPLAY

Leaver penalties

Leaver and AFK penalties are now harsher (more likely to result in suspensions)

Griefer penalties

Griefer reports and auto-detection are now only enabled for solo players (you cannot be suspended for griefing as a duo)

AFK detection

Now kicks in much faster (180 seconds -> 90 seconds)

GAME BALANCE

Mastermind buff

Fixed a bug where Proton was being considered as fulfilling all attack/armor types in a roll

Flying units buff nerf

Flying/hovering units’ “bonus range” decreased slightly
- This will make targeting feel more natural and expected (this should fix Berserker tanking before Peewees, Buzzes, and other flying units on wave 10 despite positioning Berserker in the back)

King buff

Judgment area of effect now has an instant projectile so the king is less likely to overkill (wasting an autoattack)

Arcane units nerf

Arcane: Damage reduction from Magic: 30% -> 25%

We’re reducing the necessity of Arcane fighters. They’ll still be important, but less mandatory to have in every roll. This change effectively nerfs all Arcane units and buffs all Magic units, so we’re compensating some Arcane units with buffs and some Magic units with nerfs.
