We had 2 updates in the space of 24 hours as we are chasing every little reported issue with the tutorial to the ground and buffing it out until this one shines. We've fixed and improved everything from defeat to specific dialog lines, cleaned up a few more bugs or rare misses within the tutorial script and also caught up with some additional changes to hovers for the new armor rules and movement alerts to better represent the updated Alert Status rules and surprise attack rules.
If you like the progress or got a chance to try out the new tutorial - please leave a review! We are smashing hard on tutorial update so we can be done with it and move on to new features and content, so let's buff it right out and keep on truckin.
Updated Movement Alerts for Alert Status Changes
To match the new rules for Alert Status we have adjusted how sight and hearing movement alerts work. If your character is Hidden or Hunted, these alerts are now shown correclty even if the guard is Alerted, as they still care about your presence and detecting you. Also, we no longer post an alert is the enemy is not going to respond, so if you are Spotted and they are Alerted, we are not showing the visual warning anymore because the guard is just going to keep shooting you and not change any state by seeing you (again).
Other Key Fixes
We fixed the bug that was causing the game to lock after the Vanguard reappears last night. We fixed a bug that could cause the Overwatch guard not use Overwatch about 25% of the time. We now offer Retry Mission on any difficulty for the tutorial if your team gets wiped out. We fixed some ugly broken lighting in the scene.
We fixed, we fixed typos, we rewrote sections based on your feedback. Thank you!
