WHY: Because these two have been claiming their jammer superiority for YEARS! Time to settle things once and for all.
Only one of these guys will win but the REAL winners are the players, because everyone who plays Disc Jam this weekend will automatically get all the custom content from this tournament! That's 2 discs, 2 emblems, 2 tags, and 2 new skins for each character!
Have fun!
ZLAN Tournament Update
Hey everyone!
We've got a few fixes and balance tweaks going live today alongside some special content to celebrate the massive ZLAN tournament taking place this weekend.
Patch notes below!
<*>NEW:: Added new content for the upcoming Z LAN tournament. Sign in May 11-12 to permanently unlock the Z LAN disc, tag, and emblems!
<*>TWEAKED:: Added a tiny bit of time to everyone's lobs except Kahuna's and Gator's.
<*>TWEAKED:: Made Kahuna's lob slightly more effective.
<*>TWEAKED:: Adjusted Kahuna's slide so he can early out a bit quicker.
<*>TWEAKED:: Increased Kahuna's acceleration slightly so he can get to his top run speed faster.
<*>TWEAKED:: Slowed Gator's lob so he is no longer the 3rd best lobber which was disproportionately strong given his other talents.
<*>TWEAKED:: Decreased Gator's recovery time slightly. It is still the fastest but more in line with the other characters.
<*>TWEAKED:: Adjusted Haruka's slide so she can early out a bit quicker.
<*>FIXED:: Catching the disc while getting up from a slide no longer gives you additional time to throw with perfect timing.
<*>FIXED:: Haruka's fireball taunt now works correctly in-game.
Season 2 Has Begun!
Hey everyone,
Season 2 is officially underway. Season 1 rewards have been dispatched so you should receive the rewards for your league tier on your next login.
You can now play your placement matches for Season 2.
Go get 'em!
Steam Free Weekend!
Welcome to the new players trying out Disc Jam! Be sure to check out the in-game tutorial if you're new to the game. We have an active discord if you want to chat with the devs.
Season 2 Starts on Monday so this is a great time to ramp up that SR before season rewards go out!
Have fun :)
Disc Dodger mode is now active!
Our new experimental game mode, Disc Dodger, is now live!
Disc Dodger is a 2v2 mode where the last team standing wins. If a disc is coming at you with a trail, dodge it! Once it rebounds off the back wall of the end zone, the trail is removed and the disc can be recovered for a rebuttal. May the best team win!
As always, please join us on Reddit at /r/DiscJam or join our Discord at discord.gg/DiscJam to read the latest patch notes and chat with us!
Patch 1.21 Hotfix
Hey all,
We've just launched a quick patch to fix some issues discovered in the last major update:
TWEAKED: Lowered the volume of the wall impact sound on Penthouse.
FIXED: Servers no longer crash when a player quits during an instant replay. This resolves issues that could cause players to receive a loss after a match ends even if they just won.
FIXED: Points on the scoreboard once again display correctly but are capped at 200. This cap will be raised in a future patch.
FIXED: Added a speculative fix for issues observed on high refresh-rate monitors.
FIXED: Throw indicator once again displays when playing matches online.
Sincerely,
Jim Jam
Penthouse Update Goes Live!
Greetings all!
It has been far too long since our last update but we have just launched the new map alongside a bunch of new content! Once the patch is live across all platforms, we will begin Season 2 and activate the playlist for the new mode: Disc Dodger!
Please see below for patch notes:
NEW: Added a tiled arena -- The Penthouse.
NEW: Added a game mode -- Disc Dodger (more info on this to follow!)
NEW: 156 NEW content items:
13 discs
36 skins
15 taunts
18 victory poses
18 emblems
56 tags
NEW: Match settings can now be customized in private, LAN, and splitscreen matches.
NEW: Added Cinematic Instant Replays for epic rallies.
NEW: Added Player Highlight Vignette following Instant Replays.
NEW: Server region and instance ID can now be viewed on the in-game scoreboard menu.
TWEAKED: Normalized throw timing between forehand and backhand animations.
TWEAKED: Added 100ms across the board to all super throw timers.
TWEAKED: Quick curves are now capped as to how wide they can go.
TWEAKED: Throw timer now continues to tick down after the disc is caught while sliding. Getting up from a slide and throwing with perfect timing will still result in throwing the disc with a blue trail.
TWEAKED: Deflecting a disc at the net with a fully charged shield now performs a stuff block instead of charging a super throw.
FIXED: The indicator at a player's feet will no longer erroneously display purple even though the disc is thrown with a blue trail.
FIXED: Player names are now displayed correctly on all viewports while playing splitscreen.
FIXED: Adjust Lannie's animations that were keeping her in her throw stance for too long.
FIXED: Updated Haruka cloth simulation to address interpenetration issues.
FIXED: Reporting an opponent using a secondary controller no longer causes loss of player control after the menu closes.
Double J Weekend!
To celebrate the start of Season 1, we're dishing out double the Jamoleons all weekend long!
So hop in and get yourself some rank and some J!
Season 1 Begins as Maintenance Patch 1.20 goes Live!
Hey all,
Patch 1.20 has just gone live which not only fixes a handful of issues that came up with the last update, but also officially launches Disc Jam Season 1!
All players who participated in preseason will receive the same rewards on login, but keep in mind that Season 1 rewards will be tiered so go climb that ladder!
See below for more details on what's been updated in this patch:
<*>IMPROVED: Ghosts will no longer ruin a teammates' perfect throw streak by throwing a less-than-perfect pass to them.
<*>IMPROVED: Reduced the delay between points during the Tutorial modes.
<*>IMPROVED: Minor visual tweaks to Gator, Haruka, Lannie, and Stanton to enhance material pipeline.
<*>FIXED: Air horn is back!
<*>FIXED: Player customization will now properly display in the corners of the arena.
<*>FIXED: Spotlights will no longer obstruct the player view when spectating a match.
<*>FIXED: Singles button is now correctly disabled when in a party and navigating to Ghost Arcade.
<*>FIXED: Party host will now wait for any remote party clients to finish downloading their latest stats before matchmaking again. This should resolve issues where doubles partners were not receiving stats updates after certain matches.
Pre-season ends on Monday!
Pre-season ends and Season 1 begins on Monday! At the start of the new season, we will be adjusting the league thresholds to better match the community's skill ratings. As a result, we've decided to give a single set of pre-season rewards to all players who participated.
Your skill rating at the end of pre-season will be used to determine your initial seeding for your Season 1 placement matches, so climb the ranks now if you want to get a head start!
