Dear Tango 5 Reloaded Community,
I’m Jae Kim the Director of Tango 5 Reloaded.

It’s been a while since I’ve last greeted the community.
From July 18th to August 6th, we tested Tango 5 Reloaded for 19 days through an Open Beta. We tried to bring our players a novel blend of PvP tactical action on grid-based maps, but unfortunately player response did not meet our expectations. As a result, we are sad to announce that we have decided to discontinue further development and service for this project.

We sincerely thank you for all your interest and support throughout the testing period. Studio One will continue to strive in developing a game that is as fun and radical as it was the first time we developed this game. We look forward to your interest in our upcoming releases.

Thank you.

Dear Tango 5 Reloaded Agents,

Thank you for participating on the Open Beta Testing of 'Tango 5 Reloaded: Grid Action Heroes' and showing us your love and support throughout.
Sadly, the Open Beta phase of Tango 5 Reloaded has come to an end, and we would like to thank you once again for your precious participation.
We understand it is sad news but we hope to meet you again with the official release and before that, we could use your enthusiasm now by contributing to our feedback section with your constructive thoughts/opinions regarding the Open Beta Test so that we could comeback to our community with a better gaming experience.
Share your thoughts with us at our Discussion section of our Steam Community Hub and we'll make sure to refer to it for our official release!
We hope to see you all again at our official launch so stay tuned with our official channels and till then Agents, be well.

Best Regards,
The T5R Team


P.S. As mentioned prior, the rewards for the 'Open Beta Participation Event' will be compensated together with the official release. Additionally, user nicknames used during the Open Beta phase will be continued on for use even after the official launch.

1. Europe & South American Servers Added!

• Europe and South American Servers are now added as more users have been connecting from Europe and South America than we anticipated. Please check the ping status from the list of rooms and select the room with a good network response speed.

2. New Control Scheme Added!

• A new control method to make it easier for new players to learn how to play Tango 5 Reloaded has been added to the game known as 'Type A' controls. The new control scheme is now accessible in your settings and the previous scheme will be now known as ‘Type B’ controls. The tutorial will progress using ‘Type A’ controls as the default control scheme.
  
  
• Details to 'Type A' Controls:
  
  Attack & Skills
  - Activate ‘attack mode’ and skills by clicking on the UI icon or by pressing the hotkey.
  - Activated, player must select a target for the attack/skill by left-clicking on a target.
  - You can cancel the targeting mode by pressing the 'ESC' key or by right-clicking.
  
  Character Movement
  - Move your character by right-clicking on a target location.
  
  Camera Controls
  - Pan the camera by moving the mouse cursor to the edge of the screen or by using the WASD keys on the keyboard. (Camera movement keys will be changeable in your settings.)

The new control scheme will be known as ‘Type A’ controls and will be accessible in your settings. The previous scheme will be known as ‘Type B’ controls. The tutorial will progress using ‘Type A’ controls as the default control scheme.

2. ‘Settings’ Will Be Updated

• The ‘Settings’ menu will be updated to allow users to select their control method and to adjust their camera panning speed. The option to turn off the ‘Camera border scroll’ will be removed from the ‘Settings’ menu.

3. In-game UI and Sound Improvements

• Will increase the size of the in-game UI.
  
• Will improve the readability of the in-game text for attacks and skills during cooldown.
  
• Will make it easier to see the number of bullet remaining in your weapon.
  
• Will add an ‘Activation’ and ‘De-activation’ alert sound to make it easier to determine your player’s state.
  
• Will change the default setting of the voice chat microphone to ‘unchecked’.

4. Quicker ‘Start’ Button Activation in the Waiting Room Coming Soon

• The ‘Start’ button will appear much quicker in the Waiting Room after the completion of a match in order to streamline the start of a new match.

5. Will Add a Taskbar Background Alert

• Will add a taskbar alert for when the user is viewing their desktop and Tango 5 Reloaded is running in the background. The alert will appear on the taskbar when an important event such as the start of a battle occurs.

6. Bug Fixes

• Fixed the issue freeze at 'Initializing UI data' on the loading screen when entering the game.
  
• Fixed the issue where the status of the user who has just started the game changes to 'Online.'
  
• Fixed the issue where you could not perform actions such as 'Add A Friend' or 'Block' after a match.
  
• Fixed the issue where the 'Recent Match History' was not displayed properly on the profile screen.
  
• Fixed the issue where the "Forfeit" was not properly accumulated on the profile screen.
  
• Fixed the issue where the 'Round Score and Time Display UI' disappears from the top of the screen intermittently during combat.
  
• Fixed the bug where Assassin's Decoys disappear when hit and froze by the Grenadier's Liquid Nitrogen Bomb.

Thus, we've decided to extend the Open Beta period until Aug. 5th, 2018 PDT!

1. New Default Game Control Settings

• We are going to fix the original control configuration that most people gave feedback on. Aside from the current method of shooting normally with the ‘Q’ key, we will now change the default game control settings to the ones used in many MOBA games. However, the original control settings can be modified back through the control settings.

2. Modified & Improved Battle UI

• Visibility of the Action Bar UI below will be improved to allow more readability and noticeability regarding skill cooldowns, number of bullets left, and so on for battles.

3. Regarding Start Button Activation in Lobby

• The 15-second countdown that was originally applied to the lobby start button after players re-enter into the lobby after the scoreboard, has now been changed as soon as the match ends. Therefore, now, even if you have a “sleeper” in the score page, you can proceed to the next battle faster than before.

4. Game Client App Functionality Added

• Even if the game client is minimized or is shifted to another window, the game client app in the task bar will now blink and notify when an event occurs in-game, such as when a battle has started on the game client.

5. Adding in Europe & South American Servers

• We are going to add servers for Europe and South America as more users are connecting from Europe and South America than we anticipated. Please check the ping status from the list of rooms and select the room with a good network response speed.
