Iggy & Scorch Mastery Race / Community Event

With Ryan Red & Baylix attending gamescom 2022 this year, we missed the mark with our Iggy & Scorch content release. We always want to release a new hero with their usual build-up of hype, but with how things lined up, we weren't able to get everything done that we wanted

With Ryan Red & Baylix attending gamescom 2022 this year, we missed the mark with our Iggy & Scorch content release. We always want to release a new hero with their usual build-up of hype, but with how things lined up, we weren't able to get everything done that we wanted to by our internal deadline. We also didn't want to sit on a hero that was ready to go, as we know how much of you want new heroes in the game. Over the past few months, the community had already worked out who was coming (and thanks to Baylix, confirming it by accident live on stream 😅), so we already knew most of the secrecy surrounding 'who was next' had already been figured out. Therefore, we decided to release him anyway so you guys didn't have to wait. Regardless, this was not how we wanted to do things. We have learnt from this going forward and have made steps to make sure that things are better organized despite other events taking place.

With that being said, we still want to put on a mastery race event, so this is how we are going to do it this time around:‍‍

WHAT IS THE HERO MASTERY RACE?

The Hero Mastery Race is a competition to see who can reach gold mastery on our latest hero the fastest! We want the race to be accessible to as many people as possible, therefore we have opted to only go as far as gold for now. We don't want players to play for extremely unreasonable amounts of time to win the race, but we will monitor how long it takes our players to accomplish this goal and adjust if necessary for next time. This is something we would like to continue doing for our future hero releases, so please let us know your feedback in our Discord.‍

BUT IGGY IS ALREADY OUT, HOW ARE YOU GOING TO DO IT THIS TIME?

With Iggy & Scorch being released and players already reaching gold tier just by playing him naturally, we have to do things differently. We didn't want to reset everyone's progress so far, so we opted to track mastery XP just for the duration of the event. The amount of mastery XP required will be the same amount needed to reach gold tier, 16,000XP. This will be tracked separately from your current mastery level via a new event-specific quest window on the home screen. By doing this, we can still have a mastery race without affecting people that have already played Iggy, therefore giving people unfair advantages or resetting mastery progress. This also gives us the ability to give the community a heads up on the start time, so they can prepare in advance, should they wish to do so.‍

HOW DO I PARTICIPATE?

Play the game!‍

Anyone that owns Iggy & Scorch only needs to play the game as you would normally to earn mastery XP. Your match performance and match time affect the amount of mastery XP you earn, so rushing bot games or throwing matches won't help you here! We have also significantly reduced the amount of mastery XP you can earn in PVE games. Play as many PVP games of Iggy & Scorch as you can and you'll be sure to rank up as quickly as possible. If we find any players consistently dodging games, using bugs, exploits or abusing systems to gain an advantage, we will remove them from the race at our discretion and you will not be able to participate in future events. We will be closely monitoring the number of dodges and we will adjust and refine the dodge penalty timers if we find this to be a widespread issue. Play nice and win the race, fair and square!‍

We also have additional incentives this time around and you can earn rewards by playing any hero you like. Keep reading for more information!‍

HOW & WHAT DO I WIN?

The first person to reach 16,000 mastery XP throughout the duration of the event will win the hero mastery race. The winner will be awarded an ultra-exclusive, golden Scorch avatar and their name etched into Fault: Elder Orb history by being inducted into our Hall of Fame.

Exclusive Gold Scorch Avatar‍

That's not all! This time we want to reward the entire community for taking part and not only the first person that wins the race. After your feedback from the Crunch mastery race, we have added additional incentives so everyone can feel involved, even if they aren't shooting for that hall of fame spot.

RUNNERS-UP REWARD
This time around, anyone that reaches 16,000XP on Iggy & Scorch throughout the duration of the event, regardless of if you are 1st or 50th, will be awarded a silver version of the avatar.

Exclusive Silver Scorch Avatar‍

COMMUNITY EFFORT & QUESTS

In addition to the avatar rewards above, we wanted to add even more ways for players to get involved, even if you aren't about that racing life by adding additional event-specific quests. We will also be adding a community-tracked quest that everyone can contribute to. Here is the list of all the quests with their respective rewards:‍

MASTERY QUEST:
Earn 16,000 Mastery XP on Iggy & Scorch
Rewards: Gold Scorch Avatar for 1st, Silver Scorch Avatar for reaching the goal within the event duration.‍

COMMUNITY QUEST:
Deal a Total of 100,000,000 Damage With Iggy & Scorch (Community Wide)
Rewards: 3x Prime Cores & Keys to every player that contributed to the total.‍

EVENT QUEST 1:
Play a Total of 10 PVP Games
Rewards: 3x Prime Orbs‍

EVENT QUEST 2:
Win a Total of 3 PVP Games
Rewards: 3x Common Orbs‍

In the future, we would like to implement a more interactive, systematical approach to event quests but for now, we feel like adding these additional, non-hero-specific quests gives players the opportunity to take part, even if they do not want to race and spam a certain hero all week or that they may not even enjoy.‍

CAN I TRACK THE PROGRESS OF THE RACE?

Yes!

You can follow the progress on our live tracker here: https://www.playfault.com/mastery-race‍
(We will be tracking the top 10 players with the most mastery XP)

You can also track your progress in-game, even if you are not in the top 10, as well as every other quest in the event from the home screen in our new event-specific quest box.‍

WHEN DOES THE RACE START AND HOW LONG DO WE HAVE?

START:
Monday, 19th September 2022
10:00 PST / 12:00 CT / 13:00 EST / 18:00 BST / 19:00 CET‍

END:
Sunday, 25th September 2022
15:00 PST / 17:00 CT / 18:00 EST / 23:00 BST / 00:00 CET (26th)‍

THANK YOU

We hope this new approach to the mastery race benefits the majority, rather than the few and hope to hold even more regular in-game events in the future that are not just tied to mastery races. As always we appreciate all of your feedback and support and we hope to see you in-game soon. If you have any additional feedback regarding this new system to make it even better for next time, please join our Discord server and let us know! You can join it here.‍

GAME MECHANICS

General

Lane Minion Basic Attack Execute

After looking at lots of data from both new and current players, we have found that last hitting in our game is a much harder thing than expected. Although last hitting is a skill, we have not intended for it to be as hard as it currently is, and believe a part of this also comes from the game just being harder, in general, to focus on due to its third-person nature. To try to lessen the difficulty of last hitting, we are looking to implement a basic attack execute feature that should help heroes with low basic attack damage to still be able to last hit past the early game. We also have changed the minion health bars to better show the total amount of health the minions have left, as the current curved health bars do seem to obscure how much total health minions may actually have.

Minions under 15% Health will now automatically be executed when damaged from a heroes basic attack.

Language Support

The following languages are now translated and selectable in game:

Chinese
French
German
Italian
Korean
Portuguese
Russian
Spanish

Ability Aiming Update

Aiming abilities such as Gideon’s Cosmic Rift have been updated so that the camera better shows the area the player is aiming.
Some aiming camera curves have been adjusted to show a better birds eye view of the area.

DLSS Support

Added Nvidia DLSS support as an option that can be enabled in the video settings.
DLSS support is only available on Windows 64 bit devices.

Autobuy Features

Recommended items can now be automatically purchased when entering the base. Items bought will be based on the current smart shop items available for the player.
Favor can now automatically be spent as soon as it is granted. Favor will be spent into the players faction slot.
Both settings can be configured inside the gameplay settings under gameplay changes.

Quick Emotes

The first 4 emotes of a hero can now be configured to be used with keybinds instead of the emote wheel.
Quick emotes by default use the Shift key + 1-4 based on the emote, and can be configured inside the gameplay settings under keybindings.

Optimization

Optimized the game's file compression in order to reduce CPU usage. This change to file compression will cause a large redownload of game files on your next login.

Economy Update

With patch 0.17.0 we have completely changed how the economy works in Fault.
We felt that with the previous system, the game did not feel rewarding enough for the average player. This complete rework removes the mark system and replaces it with Cores, these cores can be redeemed for fragments which allow you to unlock many different items found within the store. Below we have taken the time to fully explain this new system to our community.‍

Cores and Orbs

Watch on YouTube

What are Cores?
Cores are a chest that contains high-value rewards and requires a key to unlock their contents.

Cores can be purchased individually or in bundles with coins and come with their respective keys.
Cores can always be purchased in the in-game store and are also featured on the sales screen at a discount, with a limited number of purchases per player.
Players can select up to 3 fragments to “augment” the value of a Core. This increases the value of the Core’s contents by the value amount of the fragments.‍

Types of Cores
There are two types of Cores in Fault:

Lesser Cores are mainly granted from high-value in-game achievements and event rewards and contain both cosmetic and hero fragments.
Prime Cores are only purchasable with Coins and mainly contain cosmetic rewards.‍

What are Orbs?
An Orb is a chest that contains low-value rewards and does NOT require a key or matter to unlock its contents.

Orbs cannot be purchased with coins or Matter.
Orbs are granted as in-game rewards for low-value achievements and event rewards.
If the Orb only obtains a certain type of content, it can be categorized by the content type.
If the Orb only contains fragments related to a hero, it can be considered a Hero Orb ie, Gideon Orb, Murdock Orb, etc.
If the Orb only contains fragments for a monetization category (for example, skins), it can be considered a Skin Orb ie, Skin Orb, Ward Orb, etc.
If the Orb only contains rewards exclusive to a progression/reward system (for example, Paragon/Honor system, coming soon), it can be considered a Paragon Orb ie, Paragon Orb, Event Orb (Halloween, New Years, etc.), etc.‍

Types of Orbs
There are three types of Orbs found within Fault: Lesser, Common, and Prime Orbs. These orbs can contain Matter, Fragments and Keys. Each level of Orb has a higher chance to drop higher tier rewards.

How to Earn Orbs
There are many ways to earn orbs in game to get a chance at some awesome loot, below we have listed how to earn them:

Playing a Match
Account Progression
Hero Mastery System
First Game of the Day
First Win of the Day
Daily Challenges
Weekly Challenges
Honor System/Level (Coming soon)‍

Re-rolling

In Fault, you are able to re-roll fragments from your inventory in order to receive a random new fragment.‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

Watch on YouTube

Renting

We have a feature that allows you to consume your fragments (of the same type) to rent out skins or heroes for 24 hours.

Merging

Once you have 3 of the same fragment, you can combine them and receive the reward they are tied to permanently, fragments exist for every item within the Fault in-game store.

Pocketful of Quarters

We have begun working with an outside group named Pocketful of Quarters (https://www.poq.gg) who run events and tournaments for tons of different games. As a PvP game, we are very excited to work with them in the future, as they will be running events with some familiar faces in the Fault community. PoQ has a interoperable game token that players can earn in events and spend in many different games. This currency, named Quarters, can also be used on their website for cool prizes and other in-game goodies from popular titles. Our players will have the ability to link their accounts with PoQ in order to obtain and spend Quarters directly in Fault and everywhere they are accepted. Quarters can not be sold and are simply a way for gamers to have more freedom with their purchases.

Each Fault Coin will translate over to 4 Quarters if you link your account to PoQ.

This system is completely optional and you can continue to purchase Coins like you always have done.

VFX

Recently we started work on implementing T4 skin visual effects. The list below is all the currently implemented visual effects for these skins. Going forward with each new hero release, T4 skins will come with their visual effects ready to go. We plan on finishing the rest of the currently unimplemented T4 skins in the coming weeks.‍‍

Major Announcements

Hello everyone and welcome to todays Developer blog!
We have been hard at work on many different things while we stayed fairly quiet, and today we want to share some big news with you all!

Developer Stream

For those who may have missed it, we held a large developer stream yesterday to announce many topics that we will discuss in today's blog. We have added the YouTube video below for those who could not make it can view the entire stream including the Q&A.

We plan to continue holding regular streams to interact further with our amazing community.

Name Change

We have changed the name of our game to Fault: Elder Orb!

This change was made for multiple reasons which include marketing, ideas for the future, and more!

Free to Play & Epic Games Launch

We are very excited to announce that we will be launching on the Epic Games Store this Monday the 18th and going fully free to play on both Epic Games and Steam!

This has been a long time coming, and we can not wait to open the doors to new players everywhere as we launch our free-to-play model and start our marketing efforts to tell everyone about Fault: Elder Orb!

Watch on YouTube

Free Skin

Those who download and play the Epic games version of Fault will be granted the Epic Astro Gideon skin for free!

1UP Movie

As we had recently confirmed, Fault: Elder Orb will be featured in a movie from Buzzfeed and Lionsgate! We are very exited for the movies release this July 15th on Amazon, we had a blast working with them to create this film and can not wait for the future and everything this collaboration brings to both our game and the industry in general.

Watch on YouTube

Pocketful Of Quarters

We have begun working with an outside group named Pocketful of Quarters who run events and tournaments for tons of different games. As a PvP game, we are very excited to work with them in the future, as they will be running events with some familiar faces in the Fault community.

POQ has a interoperable game token that players can earn in events and spend in many different games. This currency, named Quarters, can also be used on their website for cool prizes and other in-game goodies from popular titles. Our players will have the ability to link their accounts with P.O.Q in order to obtain and spend Quarters directly in Fault and everywhere they are accepted. Quarters can not be sold and are simply a way for gamers to have more freedom with their purchases.

We understand the concerns this may raise to some, so we have added information below for our players in order to be fully informed before making the decision to link their accounts.

How Quarters Work

POQ Partners

You can learn more about P.O.Q in an article found here: Link

Patch 0.17.0

As we stated on the dev stream, patch 0.17.0 contains a big overhaul to our in game economy, which includes a new store page and much more. We plan to share the patch notes live with everyone during our upcoming anniversary stream.

Anniversary Stream

We will be holding a dev stream to celebrate our two year anniversary this Sunday July 17th at 3 PM EST!

During the stream, will be taking a look back on the history of Fault while comparing our EA launch to new content from the company, and the community.

What Are We Working On?

The team has been hard at work on many items outside of what is coming with patch 0.17.0 and the 1UP Movie. We have prepared a brief summary below to get everyone caught up on a few of these.
‍

Maps

New map

Our new map is in it's greybox stage and development of it continues along with internal testing. The new map will take time, but it is happening, our current focus is our current map and optimization.

ARAM

We have seen many players jumping into our custom game modes and all running down the midline to have epic 5v5 battles right from the start of the match. We have seen this and the community's craving for an ARAM game mode and we are happy to inform everyone that this map is already in development.

Our original ARAM map is in it's greybox stage as well, and we anticipated it to be launched before our full new map we spoke of earlier.

Player Learning

Gym Mode

We have been working on a new feature that will allow players to load into a new location that will be full of areas for practicing and testing heroes and builds against all of the monsters, buffs, heroes, and structures that exist within the battlefield of Fault. We do not have a date for this features launch, but we will keep everyone informed in futrue developer streams and blogs.

Tutorials

We received a lot of feedback on our previous tutorial and we have heard you. We are currently creating a list of role-specific tutorials and one going over the very basics of MOBA games as a whole. We have plans to upgrade our learn tab with multiple features to help new players gain an edge before even stepping onto the battlefield.

Hardware Ban Tech

As a competitive game, we understand that there is toxicity in matches, we have worked hard to ensure we ban the ones who deserve to be removed from the game and we will continue to do all that we can to make our game as comfortable as possible for all players.

Outside of player reporting and chat muting that we have in-game, we are also working towards hardware bans in order to fully remove accounts of players who warrant permanent bans.

New Hero & Mastery Races

We will still be releasing new heroes and we have one planned to launch after we have gone free to play.

Mastery races will also be returning with our next hero, and we intend to keep them running for all future hero releases. We received a lot of feedback about our previous race and plan to make changes to the system before the next one begins.
‍

Console

We receive constant messages from the console gaming community, and we can not wait to open the doors to all of you. We can confirm that we will still be releasing on console in the future and we are working hard to get Fault closer to its full release state while we also work to make that a reality.

Thank you

Strange Matter Studios takes pride in being a company that has stood on it's own two feet all this time and holds it's creative freedom, which we value greatly. All of this could not have been possible with out every one of you, we are truly grateful to everyone who has supported us.

We have a lot we would like to say to you all, and we plan to speak more about our community during the anniversary stream this Sunday the 17th at 3 PM EST.

CONTENT

Item Art Rework

All Legendary, Starter, and Word Items now have updated artworks.

A example of some of the updated items.
‍

GAME MECHANICS

Raptor Rework

‍
After receiving a lot of feedback about how Raptor feeling unrewarding to take compared to other objectives on the map, we are now introducing a new Raptor system that intends to give it an identity outside of the favor system. Raptor will now grant four buffs, with the buffs received depending on how many raptors the killing team has taken. These buffs are team wide and will stay with the player for the duration of the game, while still giving a reduced amount of teamwide favor. We have also added in an endgame raptor intended to help teams finish out prolonged games, called the Alpha Raptor. The Alpha Raptor will give the killing team access to a combat buff over a short period that will deal true damage overtime to enemies and shred both armor types, scaling the damage with the amount of raptors they have slain throughout the game.

Favor per raptor decreased from 4 -> 1.
Spawn times adjusted to 6 min.
1st: 6% Bonus Physical and Energy Power.
2nd: Deal 15% additional True Damage to enemy structures and large and epic monsters.
3rd: Gain 6% Out of Combat Movement Speed, increase Fountain Regeneration by 100%.
4th: Gain 6% Lifesteal and SpellVamp, increase Outgoing Heals and Shields by 15%.
Apex Raptor spawns at 30 Min, and will respawn every 6 minutes after it is slain in place of Raptor.
5 favor per Apex Slain.

‍

Power of the Ancients buff

Killing Prime Raptor grants the members of the killing team that are alive the Power of the Ancients buff. The buff is removed once the player has died. Only teammates that are alive when the raptor is slain will be granted the buff.

Power of the Ancients: For the next 180 seconds, Damaging enemy and neutral units, excluding structures, deals 100 (+50 damage for every raptor slain by the team) true damage over 2.5 seconds, ticking every 0.5 seconds, with the first tick of damage starting on the application for a total of 6 ticks. Subsequent damage refreshes the duration.

Each tick of damage Shreds 2% of total physical and energy armor, stacking up to 10 times. Each target can only be affected by one instance of Power of the Ancients, with each new application just refreshing the duration of the damage.

GRIM.exe Rework

Grim's kit had a couple major issues we wanted to tackle, with his energy system being oppressive on a ranged poke hero in laning, specifically the duo lane, as well as having so many moving parts that it was hard for most players to pick him up and understand exactly how each interaction with him worked. In an effort to resolve both of these issues, we are changing Grim back to use mana, as well as reducing the amount of cooldowns, scalings, and base damages amongst other things. Grim's DEFLECT.exe has also been changed to no longer grant cooldown reductions back on abilities, but will now cost no mana to cast and will grant mana plus a portion of his missing mana back on a successful deflect.

Removed Bonus Detonation Regeneration if Ion Mode was being used.

DISCHARGE.EXE (R)

Mana Cost -> 100 at all levels.

GAME MECHANICS

General

Game Size

Space needed to install the game should now be down to roughly 14 Gigabytes from the previous size of 53.7 Gigabytes. (74% decrease in total space needed).

With this patch we have reduced the file size of Fault dramatically, this is the result of some work we have done to optimize and improve the memory usage of our game. We have received positive feedback from our testers about this change and are eager to see how it effects our community. We plan to continue working on optimization in the following weeks and will continue to monitor related feedback.

Matchmaking

Region selector has been removed from PVP matches and replaced with Ping dependent matchmaking.

To aid new players in finding matches in a reasonable time, and to give all players in a lobby the best matchmaking experience possible, we are testing out a new matchmaking system. The game will now take a users ping into account in order to match them with others in the same region. If you are an NA player, the game will match you with others from NA before increasing the ping range to fill the lobby if needed. When in a party, the game will use the leaders ping range to find a match. Players can still use region selection in Custom games.

We will monitor this change and want to hear any feedback regarding the new matchmaking once players have tested it out in live games. You can leave feedback for our team in our Discord.

Chat

The Chat Filter will now replace messages that contain flagged words or phrases with a random line from the following list:

"I love you!"
"I'm having so much fun"
"We got this guys, keep up the hard work"
"We can win"
"This game is so much fun!"
"I love SMS"
"I love Fault"
"I think this is the best game ever"
"Everyone is doing great"
"Good job"
"Great job"

Scoreboard Pings

You can now click on various things found on the scoreboard to alert your teammates in team chat! We are looking to continue adding onto this for the future, but for now you should be able to ping the following:

Crunch is a melee diver with a unique set of abilities meant to combo together in various ways. We wanted Crunch to be very dynamic and fluid to play, so a lot of attention went into nailing down the feel of weaving abilities and basic attacks together in succession.

WHAT IS THE HERO MASTERY RACE?

The Hero Mastery Race is a competition to see who can reach gold mastery on our latest hero the fastest! We want the race to be accessible to as many people as possible, therefore we have opted to only go as far as gold for now. We don't want players to play for extremely unreasonable amounts of time to win the race, but we will monitor how long it takes our players to accomplish this goal and adjust if necessary for next time. This is something we would like to continue doing for our future hero releases, so please let us know your feedback in our Discord.

‍

HOW DO I PARTICIPATE?

Play the game!

Anyone that owns Crunch only needs to play the game as you would normally to earn Mastery XP. Your match performance and match time affect the amount of Mastery XP you earn, so rushing bot games or throwing matches won't help you here! Play as many games of Crunch as you can and you'll be sure to rank up as quickly as possible!

‍

HOW & WHAT DO I WIN?

The first person to reach 16,000 Mastery XP (1st tier of Gold) will win the Hero Mastery Race. The winner will be awarded an ultra-exclusive, golden Crunch avatar and their name etched into Fault history by being inducted into our Hall of Fame.

Exclusive Crunch Avatar

‍

CAN I TRACK THE PROGRESS OF THE RACE?

Yes!

You can follow the progress on our live tracker here: https://www.playfault.com/mastery-race
‍(Please note that Mastery XP from testers will be reset when the race starts)

We will be tracking the top 10 players with the most Mastery XP, as well as keeping tabs on our previous winners (from Crunch onwards). This includes the date they won the race and how long it took them to reach that all-important golden tier.

‍

DODGING & EXPLOITS

If we find any players consistently dodging games, using bugs, exploits or abusing systems to gain an advantage, we will remove them from the race at our discretion and you will not be able to participate in future events. We will be closely monitoring the number of dodges and we will adjust and refine the dodge penalty timers if we find this to be a widespread issue. Play nice and win the race, fair and square!
