Happy Halloween week everyone!
We're bringing 3 Awesome Infusions for this update!
Amalgamation (The Shadow now receives a random Shadow's Ultimate). You have not lived until you've faced a G'nome using Oculus's laser. We may expand this later to not replace the current ultimate but instead have a new key to press. It really depends on the popularity.
Pumpkin Smash (Pumpkins spawn around the map, jumping on one awards your points, stealth and will petrify nearby enemies!)
Racers (Rings spawn around the map, run through them for points!)
Legacy Mode Changes
Our goal with Legacy was to have a familiar experience for LB1 players when coming to LB2's fast paced environment. I've continued to work with LB1 veterans to see what was missing and I think it's now in a very good position. Please, if you feel something is wrong or missing, let me know. Despite my best efforts, my psychic training has not paid off and I am not thousands in debt.
- Legacy Mode renamed to Light Bearers 1 Mode.
- Legacy Mode now has the same wall jumping detection as LB1.
- Fixed an issue with Legacy Mode where the Bears were a little faster than they should be.
- Fixed crouch walk speed in Legacy Mode.
- Made lots of little adjustments to try and match LB1's movement feel.
- The Shadow can no longer use G to teleport to Shadow Portals, thus cementing the full LB1 experience.
Map Ports
We hear you, you missed both of these maps. Some of you have some choice words to say about the new Nowhere. So I present to you the old Nowhere that is now the new old Nowhere known as Somewhere!
Somewhere
I kept it as 1:1 as I could. The object I was using for the "strings" on the photographs were tanking framerates on my 3080ti by like 80 fps. So i scrapped those. I also added some couches in random spots. I also cleaned up some bad geometry.
High res shot of the floor, you're welcome!
