Патчи и обновления

Вот и вышел первый патч. Все последущие будут выкладываться в этой теме.

Version 1.0.1 - Releasing February 1, 2016

New Content

• Added new map “The Boneyard” for 1v1 Automatch, 2v2 Automatch and Public Games. The Boneyard is inspired by the second mission from our campaign and has fleets clashing for map control during a beautiful sunrise.

Bug Fixes

• Fixed an issue that was causing crashes when players were allied with AI players in 2v2

• Lowered starting resources on the Torin Crater Map to match the starting resources on all other MP maps

Balance Updates

• Gaalsien Carrier
  In order create more early game options for the Gaalsien, the Carrier’s combat capabilities have been increased. Enabling it to deal with hordes of early game enemy units.

• Gaalsien Carrier Side Turrets:
• Default Rate of Fire from 2 to 10.
• Burst Time from 1.4 seconds to 1.1 seconds
• Negative accuracy modifiers versus small units removed
• Accuracy against all units set to 100% at short range, 90% at medium range and 80% at long range.
• Gaalsien Carrier Weapon Systems:
• Power level 1 - Rate of Fire increased from 5 to 17.
• Power level 2 - Rate of Fire increased from 10 to 24.
• Power level 3 - Rate of Fire increased from 20 to 31.
• Power level 4 - Rate of Fire decreased from 40 to 38.

• Coalition Missile Battery
  When compared to the Gaalsien Missile Ship, the Coalition Missile Battery was much more cost-effective. Price change will now better reflect its power.
  
• Missile Battery:
• Price from 100CU/70RU to 350CU/80RU

• Assault Cruiser
  The upgraded Assault Cruiser turned out to be a very specialized anti-air counter. The damage has been lowered so it is more in line with other anti-air units.
• Assault Cruiser:
• It now requires the Assault Cruiser Anti-Air research in order to attack air.
• Anti-air weapon will now deal 175 damage instead of 250.
  
  
• Coalition Strike Fighters
  The early game advantage provided by Coalition Strike Fighters is interesting but too strong. The damage has been lowered to retain air as an option but allow opponents enough time to react to it. For example, you needed 2 Strike Fighters to snipe an enemy Railgun, but now you will need 3.
  
  
• Strike Fighter:
• Damage from 175 to 120

Ну наконец-то сдвиг в балансе! Хотя, вес нововведений не соответствует самим нововведениям, имхо.
Кстати, только сейчас заметил, что в боях с ботами отсутствует возможность сохраняться.

Бои в ДоКе очень скоротечны. Соло за 20 минут выношу средненького ИИ.
Удалось собраться с друзьями - играли 3 на 3 против тяжелых ИИ. Вынесли минут за 34.

Патч маловат-с будет-с! Ждем дальнейших обнов.

Патч ниочем. Юниты по-прежнему проходят сквозь друг друга.
Простой пример: Посылаю сборщиков добывать ресурсы. Так один сборщик залазиет в другой. Так и стоят один в другом и качают ресурсы, даже не понятно сколько юнитов в месте. Юниты по-прежнему не умеют объезжать друг друга.
Позор, даже не хочется играть, когда вижу такое.

Да, позор, ведь рабочие, особенно в пылу сетевой битвы когда на счету каждая секунда, должны реалистично толкаться и объезжать друг друга.

У больших юнитов клиренс высокий. Мелкие тупо под ними проезжают. С юнитами своего размера они очень даже сталкиваются.

Сразу видны реликовские гены программистов, так как некоторые программисты работали ранее в над дов и кох, в играх релик тоже зачастую юниты сквозь друг друга проходят. Увы, программисткое наследство передается из студии в студию.

Patch 1.0.2 Release Notes

New Content

• Region Filtering/Ping:
  
• For custom games there is now a region drop-down option that will toggle between Local and Worldwide filtering options for available games.
• In the lobbies, each user will now have a visual representation of their network connection (ping). This is displayed as a coloured icon as well as a ping time value.

Balance Updates

• To incentivize players to go for artifacts, even early in the game, both factions will now start with a baserunner.
• Coalition and Gaalsien will now have a free baserunner at the start of a match.
  
• Coalition Heavy Armor
• Adjustments were made on the price of the Coalition Heavy Armor upgrades to better reflect the gameplay advantage they provide.
• Level 1, 2 and 3 CU Price increases from 100/200/300 to 550/550/550 CUs.

• Probes
• One of our focuses in this patch was to provide scouting tools. While still fragile, the probe will now be an effective scouting unit in the Coalition arsenal.
• A probe deployed by the baserunner will now be controllable and is considered an air unit.
• The price for the Launch Probe ability has increased from 50 to 100 CUs.
• The cooldown time for the Launch Probe ability has decreased from 120 to 30 seconds.
• Probe Sensor Radius has increased from 200 to 1000.
• Probe Health has increased from 10 to 100.
• The Probe will remain in the field until destroyed.

• Coalition Carrier Repair System
  
• While we still want the Coalition Carrier Repair System to be a powerful support option, its effectiveness was decreased so that there is an incentive to produce combat units early in the game. Before, late in the game, Repair Level 5 heal rate was equivalent to the heal rate of 12 Support Cruisers, negating even enemy Railgun fire at times.

• Repair System Changes;
• Level 1: Heal Rate from 50 hull points/s to 30.
• Level 2: Heal Rate from 100 hull points/s to 45.
• Level 3: Heal Rate from 150 hull points/s to 60.
• Level 4: Heal Rate from 200 hull points/s to 90.
• Level 5: Heal Rate from 250 hull points/s to 120.

• Sandskimmer
  
• To compensate for the fact that Gaalsien players can easily use their production cruisers offensively, specifically in the early game, some adjustments were made to the Sandskimmer’s build time and self-repair ability.
  
• Build time has increased from 8 to 11 seconds.
• Out of Combat timer has increased from 1 second to 3.5 seconds on its self-repair ability.

• Baserunner
  
• Just like on the Coalition side, we want the Gaalsien baserunner to be one of the key scouting units in the game. We’ve added a new ability that deploys a vision scanner from a distance, enabling Gaalsien players to either use it offensively or defensively.
• Repair ability on the Baserunner is now equally effective at all ranges. (Max range 400)
• Will now be able to deploy vision scanners from a distance.
• Repair ability AOE falloff type has changed from Linear to None.

• Assault Ship
  
• The Assault Ship is supposed to be one of the key units when an enemy player is massing Light Attack Vehicles or Sandskimmers. We felt that this unit usually did not successfully serve its purpose; several tweaks were made in order to address this issue.
• Maximum Speed has decreased from 85 to 70.
• Price has increased from 220/35 to 220/40
• Turn Acceleration has increased from 5 to 10.
• Weapon Rate of Fire has increased from 2 to 5.
• Max Range has increased from 600 to 700m.
• Minimum Burst Time length has decreased from 1 to 0.8 seconds.
• Reload Time has decreased from 2 to 1.25 seconds

Когда уже паузу добавят? (
Невозможно полноценно играть - даже на половину не успеваешь использовать все возможности юнитов. Сами же они не умеют "думать".

Зато с паузой игра станет настолько легкой, что скука смертная. Я тоже вначале думал, что паузу бы, но игра и без того не напрягает. Да и в ХВ про тактическую паузу я узнал только когда вторую часть на второй раз проходил (случайно заметил, что при паузе можно отдавать команды).

Version 1.0.3 - Releasing February 17, 2016

• New Content:
• Added new map “Firebase Kriil” for 1v1 & 2v2 Automatch and public games.

• Bug Fixes
• Fixed an issue that could cause the mouse pointer to be unlocked from its position when the camera was moved
• Lowered starting resources on “the Boneyard” to match other MP maps.

Уже который по счёту патч, вносит очередную правку конфигов и пару карт, при весе в 400 мб...
Хотелось бы верить, что нам под шумок закидывают контент для масштабного длс, но к сожалению веры таким надеждам немного.

Не удивляйся размеру архива , это же юнити и что бы пропачить что то приходится пачить архивы с 500 метров и по другому не как !

Мой друг, у вас видимо особая версия. Как они сталкиваются?
Вот так? https://youtu.be/d-0jMHnbeHM?t=1268 Наполовину заехав в друг в друга? Разве это можно назвать столкновением?
Я не стал утруждать себя поисками видео примеров. Просто набрал на ютубе Gameplay этой игры. Если пробовать самому записать игру, то можно кучу примеров собрать и похлеще. Я видел как Кериеры проходят сквозь друг друга, а вы говорите сталкиваются.

В DOK Каждый объект проходит сквозь другой! Ресурсеры сквозь ресурсы, Летающие юниты, сквозь высокие обломки кораблей, боевые юниты, сквозь друг-друга и т.д. Даже оружие стреляет сквозь собственный корпус. Понаблюдайте за корпусным оружием кериера Каолиции. Когда вижу весь этот шлак, хочется удалить игру. А патчи нам тем временем правят баланс.

Я не знаю про другие игры от релик. И знать не хочу. Я знаю что в прежних играх Homeworld такого шлака не было.

Как пропатчить торрент-пиратку?

Так же, как и KDE2 под FreeBSD )))

А серьёзно - ждать, искать и скачивать свежую крякнутую версию, лучше всего от добрых дядьев Механиков.
Ну, или просто забыть о проблеме, ценою кровных 169 рупий.

Патч, как обычно богат ребалансами конфигов (глядя на бесконечные патчноуты, почему-то вспоминаю собственный давний опыт по ребалансировке, простите, оригинального HW и HW2, в пользу увлекательного сингла).
А вот новый киит понравился очень, эдакий Карос-стайл, под стать своеобразному бэку. Возможно, даже раскошелюсь на этих ребят, в перспективе.

ЗЫ: Кто-нибудь ведает, когда там грядёт обещанный патч, на HWR, изменяющий поведение кораблей, при атаке в строю?

Только качать новою версию !

Вышла обнова:

- Added Polish Language Support
- Minor Fixes to Shift login

Комменты в стиме повеселили, хотя, лично я, почему-то, всё больше убеждаюсь в том, что они там обновы эти за обедом делают)
