A major change to the Wartide economy design is coming
Today we’re ready to reveal what we’ve been working on and testing behind the scenes. We are gearing up for full release in February which is now just a few months away! We wanted to start getting all those little early access bugs out the way. This has taken up a significant chunk of time from the programmers, however it's been time well spent as the game feels a lot more polished than it did 3 months ago. The complete list of bug fixes will be released on the 2.5 Update release day.
Update 2.5 has a planned release date of 13th September 2018
We’ve been reading reviews, comments, and often lengthy detailed feedback posts which has lead us to make the following changes.
- Tokens will no longer drop to the ground when a player is killed. Instead the token will be directly awarded to the player who gets the kill.
- Invasion will be ‘officially’ returning as a competitive Wartide map to be used in tournaments and competitive events. Most if not all of the issues reported have been fixed, thank you to the community members who reported issues.
- HUD is now scalable (see video below) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GbaeB7BNge0
- Weapon Sway Increased on SMG’s. The weapon sway has also been improved to be more in line with classic FPS games
- Weapon speed changes
MP28 is now the same speed as the MP40 Grease Gun is now the same speed as Thompson Pistol speed has been increased
- Map Changes to Savoia
