Hey MekaRiders, it's been quite a while!
With my time away for 1 month due to me being affected by Ida (I had no power for that duration) and then another month without internet, I've tried to get a lot accomplished in that time period. I think I did okay for the most part, but I was also working on other things. Without further ado, let's get into it.
Features and Content
NEW MEKA:
James and JK1, the Dawning Shadows
Abilities:
- Innate - Intuitive Domain: Upon going into Dark Barrier, increase your total stats for the duration that Dark Barrier is active.
- Active - Dark Barrier: James and JK1 place a Barrier in an small area that nothing can leave for 10 seconds. Enemies in this area are forced to fight their way out of it. If they deal 30% of the person’s casting this health, the barrier is destroyed immediately. James and JK1 can recast this ability with the same button that they used to activate it, in order end Dark Barrier early. If James and JK1 die while casting this, the Barrier will stay up until the time runs out.
NEW MEKA:
Gerard and AM3, the Widowmakers
Abilities:
- Innate - Kiss Of Death/Spider's Agility:
- Kiss Of Death: Greatly reduces the cooldown of Spider's Bite, but each subsequent use within 12 seconds will increase the amount of Power needed by 55% each use.
- Spider's Agility: Gerard and AM3 jump higher and move quicker.
- Active - Spider's Bite: Gerard and AM3 shoot a venomous line, hitting the first Meka and damaging it. The damage is based on 12% of the target's max health and 12% of your missing health.
NEW MAP:
Paradiso, Tropics - An island known simply to the world as, “The Island of Paradise”. What secrets does it hold that the world has yet to find?
NEW SKIN RARITY SYSTEM:
Different skins will now have different rarities and the prices associated with them will vary. The list below will also be on a dedicated button in-game.
- Common - 300 MekaTokens
- Uncommon - 600 MekaTokens
- Rare - 1200 MekaTokens
- Very Rare - 1500 MekaTokens
- Ultra Rare - 1800 MekaTokens
- ICONIC (Limited Edition Skins)- 2100 MekaTokens
- Event Skins - 1800 Tokens (with a discount while that event is ongoing!)
- LEGENDARY Skins - 2400 MekaTokens.
That is the current list we are going with, but please note this is all subject to change as I finalize everything in place.
LOADING SCREENS UPDATED:
Loading Screens now have randomized tips, some of which can help you out with the way some Mekas work or just give some lore about Mekas and the game as you wait to get into your next match.
LOGIN SCREEN CHANGES:
The login screen now is animated, rotating around the Mekas that are visible instead of being static. Also, it now features a randomizing rotation of the Mekas you see on the Login Screen. Note: You may see the same Meka duplicated as that's how the system works.
UPCOMING LINUX CHANGES:
In future builds, we'll be natively supporting Linux since Easy Anti-Cheat now supports Linux and Proton. This will also serve as a base to help out with Steam Deck support in the future rather than using Proton for it.
BUG FIXES:
- Fixed an issue where the Game Server Status would not update properly in-game.
Cheers and see you soon!
