GENERAL CHANGES

17 CHANGES

GENERAL

  • Unstable Rift comeback resist max values now scale over the course of the game. Previously the max values were 35%. Now it is 10% + 1% per minute (around ~20% for the first one), with an upper limit of 40% at 30 minutes.
  • Removed a fixed amount of extra bonus souls you would get for being behind even a very slightly amount in net worth for both hero kill bounties as well as Unstable Rift bounties (this had a larger impact on the early to mid game)
  • Slightly reduced comeback bounties in general (this is in addition to the above change)
  • A portion of the comeback souls earned by players above enemy teams average net worth is instead distributed via the tick gold system that is given to the lowest 2 players (70% of the extra comeback value goes to them)
  • Guardian bounty increased by 10%
  • Walker bounty increased by 5%
  • Share for objectives bounty to nearby heroes reduced from 30% to 25% (the remaining gets split between all 6 players)
  • Respawn Time at 20 minutes increased from 35s to 38s (does not affect the max values later on, just a little higher earlier)
  • Using parry now pauses reloading
  • Parrying while doing a regular dash will now cancel the dash (and momentum) and parry on the spot
  • Getting stunned now pauses your reload rather than restarting it
  • Breakables in the underground tunnels initial spawn time increased from 3m to 5m
  • Breakables in the underground tunnels respawn rate increased from 3m to 5m
  • All move slow values reduced by ~20% globally
  • All ground dash slows reduced by ~10% globally
  • Slows now also affect air drag by 35% of the slow value (convar citadel_enable_slows_affect_air_drag to toggle the slow drag behavior on and off)
  • Dashes and light melee's no longer pause your gun's cycle time (this is a general change that affects high-cycle time weapons the most like Silver or Abrams)
