Sorry for the long delay but we have a big patch this week with many balance changes, performance tweaks, a new spell, bug fixes, and more. There will be a major announcement tomorrow and over the next few weeks we will have an expanded playtest schedule as we hunt down remaining bugs and prepare for final release.

Misc

• Updated the minimaps for all Conquest maps to be more useful.
• Added a global cooldown of 0.25s. Spells can no longer be spammed every 0.1s and there will now be a more noticeable delay between spells. This was done for balancing time to kill as well as to fix multiple bugs related to cooldowns and spell switching.
• Reduced volume of footsteps by 50%.
• Reduced volume of on-hit player sounds by 25%.
• Character materials changed for all classes from team color to class colors. This was done to make it easier to tell what class you are fighting at a distance and to work with the new on hit health indicators for enemies. Green name and Health Bar = Friendly. Red name and Red Health Bar on hit = Enemy.
• Changed first person animation on the following spells: Lightning 1A, 1B, 2, 2A, 3, 3B, 4B. Fire 1A, 1B, 2A, 3, 4, 4A. Ice 1, 1A, 2A, 3B 4. Nature 3A, 4, 4A, 4B. Earth 2
• Changed hit effect on Lightning 2A Energize.
• Changed the lightning passive particle effect to better match the spell effect style.
• Increased the lifespan of the Teleport spell effects so it’s more obvious when used.
• Ice 4B Whirlwind: Changed the spell effect to be more transparent.
• Updated tooltips to reflect recent changes.

Bugs

• Player hit sounds bug fixed and changed cooldown from 3s -> 0.75s. Players will once again hear a sound cue after they take damage.
• Fixed a major bug that was causing performance problems on most maps for players with laptops and nvidia cards.
• Fixed bug where the tutorial wasn’t launching.
• Fixed a bug with the Store button on the main menu. It will now minimize and take players to the game’s Steam store page through the client.
• Fixed the “got milk” bug on the Single player menu.
• Fixed a bug where Juxtapose was useable longer than the effect was displayed.

Balance

• Replaced Fire 4B Meteor Shower with a new spell called Helios to give Fire an ultimate that can be used more effectively indoors. Description: Quickly cast a massive fireball which gains in power the longer it flies at any time you can trigger the spell again to send the fireball rushing towards your targeted location. 25s cooldown. Base damage 320-480. Lasts for 5s.
• Buffed Juxtapose by reducing the cooldown from 15s to 12s and reduced the collision size of the projectile so that it is less likely to get caught up on nearby objects.
