- Replaced the recent soul duplication hotfix with new behavior. Pre 10 min, lanes now always split orbs when there are more heroes than the assigned participants for that lane (3+ people in a dual lane, 2+ people in a solo). Previously it only split with 3+ people regardless of the lane, which is what allowed soul abuses when dipping into a solo lane.
- Private lobbies can now assign players to duo and solo lanes
- Fixed some recent bugs with Vindicta Flight that could cause some large bursts in a direction
- Fixed being able to shoot while using Ethereal Shift and flying with Vindicta
- Veil Walker: Fire Rate reduced from 30% to 20%
What’s up with Warden? His design looks the part, retro-looking cop, nothing sci-fi at all.
Bebop, McGinnis, Yamato, Kelvin do look off though, like they’re not really on the 1920s
From what i understand they pivoted the art style at some point. It used to be futuristic/cyberpunky. But then they shifted to something mystical. I really have to say i like it. I think the mix and design is sick.
I’m sucker for sci-fi, but this world where magic and futuristic machinery, likely even powered by magic, are mixing is fantastic.
And pure sci-fi is somewhat satured atm, especially among hero shooter. So the new setting is a very welcome.
McGinnis’s tech is apprently powered by souls, so she might actually be as intended, and her backstory seems to involve some giant magic tech corporation.
Yamato has obviously had some changes to make her fit, like her sword and armor. But it’s all intermediary, still.
Warden was also already redesigned for Deadlock from Neon Prime, hence why he “fits in”, but his current appearance is still primarily based around his backstory and charachter from Neon Prime.
But he’s getting a new backstory and design for Deadlock, he will eventually be an alchemist vigilante (hence his kit, like alchemical flask).
Other charachters already have voice-lines that refer to his planned final look.
