Overpower

Update Notes: Sunday, May 8, 2016

Warmup Time: Whenever the server starts a new level there is now a 30 second timer where no kills/deaths count towards score, and no critters/capture points can be channeled.
Fixed a bug when going to spectator mode and then it wanted you to choose which class you want to play right after.
Upgraded ‘Slow’ VFX
Temporarily removed Skin Bundles from the Armory - They’ll return back soon.
Fix a bug with the Graphics Options screen not working properly

Update Notes: Wednesday, May 04, 2016

We focused on Gameplay tweaks this patch. Fixing some of the class imbalances and making abilities more reliable and powerful.

We wanted to make the Warrior Heavy Attack more viable in combat, so we shortened the cast time and reduced the damage slightly. The Warrior Whirlwind duration is now shorter making it less penalizing for use in certain situations.

We made the Mage shields more powerful and straight forward so they block every attack while activated.

The Assassin lunge has been nurfed damage wise but it now accurately applies bonus attacks from the Gems, which should make it more useful to combo. Also Cursed Blades will be up more frequently but the window to use it is shorter so timing becomes much more important to the combo.

Update Notes: Tuesday, April 26, 2016

We polished gameplay this patch and fixed a few bugs. We fixed a bug with the OP Rune where it would deal more damage than it should have. Some players really enjoyed this bug while others suffered haha. We also tweaked the Warrior's gems a little based on player feedback.


Patch Notes



  • OP-Rune works properly. No longer stacks additional damage.
  • Warrior gem Blood Thirst healing increased to 100 HP
  • Warrior gem Warcry no longer grants full damage immunity, instead grants 85% damage mitigation and it's cool down is slightly increased.
  • Fixed a bug with projectile lag, causing shots to fire in random directions.
  • Added a new Spectating Mode Feature to enhance streaming.
  • Russian Localization polish.


We added a streaming / spectating feature for anyone that wants to stream Overpower while AFK. Open up the console by pressing ~, and type "spectateMode true" to enable it. This will disable the UI and put you in a a permanent spectating mode. In order to switch back to a gameplay mode you have to type "spectateMode false" in the console.

We're still working on bringing in the female warrior model, and will continue to polish gameplay and fix bugs as we work toward bringing a new class in the weeks to come!

Update Notes: Sunday, April 24, 2016

Some more polish fixes for Overpower today! We tuned some gameplay and did some GUI fixes. Also check out the first glimpse of the 3D model coming in for the Female Warrior! She's going to be big strong and bulky to match silhouette of the male Warrior.
