Patch Notes #44: Reconnect improvements & Valor Icon updates

Ranked Play

+ Noble players will now have their Leaderboard rank displayed on the Overworld menu instead of their Valor value.

Player Profile

+ Added Right-Click context menu to access player profiles from the Match History and Leaderboards.

VO

+ Petra now has unique lines for Requisitions Order.
+ Trauma Guard now has unique voice lines when played on a full health or very low health hero.

Core Tech

+ In-match reconnect is now much more reliable!

  • Added a visual indicator when the client is attempting to reconnect.
  • If an action is primed when a disconnect occurs, that state is now maintained and the action is able to be completed upon reconnect.
  • In rare cases where an in-match reconnect is not possible, a full game reload and reconnect will trigger automatically.

+ Greatly improved the ability to collect and process match data to support ongoing tuning and balance efforts.

UI

+ Valor rank icons have been updated with more distinct colors.
+ Many bug fixes to text alignment and small visual polish items.

Bug Fixes

+ Fixed a rounding error that could cause your displayed Valor points to be off by one on the Profile and Shardfall screens.
+ Fixed a bug with Visefang Primal that would cause it to remain incorrectly unbuffed after injured enemies unburrow.
+ Vengeful Veteran’s rarity has been set to Basic to match the Novice Knight.
+ Fixed tile lighting in Reaver's Mire at Low quality to not have a strong yellow tint.
+ Fixed an issue where lighting in Embassy Gardens could be broken by switching the quality setting.
+ Fixed an issue where Bot games could impact your matchmaking rating.
+ Fixing an issue where it was too easy to set an incorrect value in the Max FPS option.
+ Fixed an issue where models and effects could be orphaned while leaving the Store.
+ Enabled a proper transition directly to the Player Profile from the vault opening screen.
