- General
- Improvements
- Instant cast spells with animation times now show a cast bar (with a different, yellow color).
- This is something I want to try - it adds a lot of clarity to the game and I think it fixes the feeling of "unresponsiveness" as you can see a clear indicator of what's going on.
- Will create a thread on this to gather feedback and adjust as necessary.
- You can now drag your mouse over top of Titan Frames and Nameplates to drag the camera without it blocking the drag.
- Made some slight adjustments to the matchmaking algorithm.
- Including some artificial inflation. This will replace top50 decay for now, and we'll see how it is working.
- Airion now gets their main form back after respawning in CTF.
