Open Beta Patch Notes & Known Issues
New Additions:
General Gameplay:
Melee ranges in Beta 3 were way overtuned across the board, so we've brought them down to better match the visuals and gameplay intention of needing to get up close. This includes all kicks, as well as melee attacks for Assassin, Wraith, and Juggernaut.
Role Changes:
Assassin -
"Assassin is finally in a decent spot now after adding precision damage to her Arc Blades in Beta 3. We think she could benefit a lot from some quality of life improvements, so we fixed an underlying issue that was causing Frenzy's spin attack to miss even at close range, and increased her health restored on hit while Frenzy is active to make her more dangerous during her most powerful moments. We've also shaved off some of her downtime while waiting for charges to generate and put just a bit more punch back into the Romerus."
Gameplay Adjustments:
Enforcer -
"We've heard a ton of mixed feedback on Enforcer. In general we think that this is because a lot of his power was tied up in perfectly toggling his combat steroid and maximizing EMP usage, which made him too strong at the top levels of play and a bit too weak at the lower ends. We've started by bumping up the ammo size on the Aerator, which should be a decent boost of strength that everyone can utilize. Beyond that, we've nudged down his excess power in a few different areas to make him less overbearing when optimized. He's still got a potent combination of health, damage and utility that should be a force to be reckoned with."
Gameplay Adjustments:
Gunslinger -
"We're bumping up the on hit damage of the TAC Knife to solidify its position as a combat option, and trimming down Warp's cooldown to be more in line with other high mobility classes. We still expect Warp to be stronger in combat than for pure map traversal, but this change should help him feel less sluggish when simply moving around. We're also giving a healthy buff to Equalizer's damage output, as previously we saw this ability sometimes used only for it's Warp cooldown reset. Finally we fixed the damage falloff on Omega that was causing charged versus uncharged shots to do roughly equal damage at certain ranges. "
Gameplay Adjustments:
Juggernaut -
"Juggernaut was finally viable in Beta 3 - maybe too viable as a result of massive raw damage and tank stats. We're limiting how long he can be fully Armored and reducing his damage so that he doesn't automatically win fights at close range. The health of the Holo-Deflector wall is coming down significantly - a coordinated team should be able to destroy it with concentrated fire."
Gameplay Adjustments:
Wraith -
"Wraith was way too strong in Beta 3 due mostly to free damage on the slide kick and a ridiculous stab range, but beyond that we feel he's simply too mobile to sit at the 350 health tier. Rather than slow him down, we're dropping his health to better reward players who are actually able to shoot him. We've also fixed his ability to fly out of the map by spamming the Wasp stab, and slightly reduced the Spektor's damage at range so that Wraith has to take a few more risks in combat by getting up close and personal."
Gameplay Adjustments:
Titan -
"We're adding an extra rocket into the Hammerhead and speeding up its reload so that Titans can cross the map with blindfire and rocket jumps and still be in a good position to fight."
Gameplay Adjustments:
Vanguard -
"Pulsar is a great tool for in combat mobility and burst damage, but it can be difficult to use when you need that fuel for escapes and traversal. We're bringing it's fuel cost down to encourage more creative use of it's potential."
Gameplay Adjustments:
General Improvements:
Matchmaking -
The Play Now Open Beta introduces important changes to matchmaking.
CB3 was a good step up from previous betas, with a worldwide average queue time of 49 seconds, and overall better match quality.
(Global average is weighted with number of players per regions)
This patch aims to improve two main issues:
