This small patch fixes a few bugs we found in Update 0.6.5, and adds improvements to Combat and UI. Expect significant new changes, improvements, and a good deal of new content in our next Major Update, slated for next week!
COMBAT
- Improved Blocking mechanics: successful Blocks are physically blended and more accurately felt
- Reduced delays after blocking to allow faster return attacks
- Added penalty of 1.5x damage for being hit from behind
- Removed the possibility of blocking an attack from behind; AI players also can no longer block attacks from behind
UI
- Added Voice icon over players' heads when Push to Talk is active
BUG FIXES
- Weapon impacts on characters would sometimes play "metal" hit effects instead of normal FX
- Announcer voice would be clipped short at the conclusion of Online games
- Sounds played by Khwarizmi's attacks were not properly attenuated
