Hello folks! Another beta update with a variety of bugfixes fixes is here, included the much awaited return of full body tracking. Damage values have also been rebalanced to hopefully make weapons feel a bit nicer and especially make blunt strikes finally feel meatier; let us know how it is for you. And last but perhaps most importantly, Baron's Hat is now fixed, so we can all place down the pitchforks. ːsteammockingː
The beta is drawing to an end, with the only key missing piece now being decals. The new and improved decal system is almost complete and should roll out in the next beta, and if it is successful with no issues then it is likely that the B8 beta will become the full live version of 8.4, so the finish line is in sight!
