Patch 1.5.10 War-Torn Christmas!

[cmitc1]

the transporter nerf doesnt help balance the game at all

At least now he can't confirm himself without taking some risks

how is there risk in transing yourself/town with someone scummy ._.

In nights 1/2 you don't know who is town and who is scum.
Also there is a even if you know who is who: A vigilante could shoot the scummy one killing the town member. Also you could mix the invest results, and you would be forced to reveal.

n1 is eh, but by n2, yes you can easily know if you understand basic scumreading.

messing with a vigilantes shot should be easily ovoided with being verbal, and how is being forced to reveal bad? mayor games, VFRS are easier, that only helps.

1.6 is next, from my understanding.

[shapesifter13]

1.6 should be next indeed.

[BlazinIce]

When?

[shapesifter13]

We don't have a solid date, but the Tutorial is nearing completion and for the sake of wanting to get the new users prepared as soon as possible we may release that early.

[orangeandblack5]

Eyyyyyy Tutorial v2

It's about time

[idasu]

Steam now gives 2000 Town Points up from 1300.

So if you bought the Steam version earlier, should you now have +700 Town Points on your account? Seems like I didn't get anything.

Nay, if you bought the Steam version before this update, you will not get an additional 700 Town Points. However, you do get the double Merit Points reward which means any time you play ToS, you get double the amount of Merit Points, even if not playing on the Steam version! In addition, one of the developers made this statement recently:

You get the double merit points and something else really special coming next week

(Reference)

I'm hoping it's that robot they've been using to advertise for Steam.

[skyelizzle]

Does this update apply to people who already bought the game on Steam? I got it months ago as a gift because I love the game so much. I wish I could buy it again for the merit points increase!

No, no. You'll get double merit points as well as a special gift coming soon.

Kind of surprised about how few people are talking about the trans nerf. It is easily the biggest gameplay change here. Town is still way too good but it's a step in the right direction.

[MashFlob]

We need a 5-minitue minimum queue timer

If you want to play games faster, that's what Ranked Practice is for

how do you back that claim up? The point of the reverse timer is not to get the most balanced games, but to prevent friends from qeueing up together. So since a better quality of the game isnt guaranteed through a longer timer and isnt even the goal, I support any lowering of the timer.

[orangeandblack5]

Um, yes it is????

The reason the timer was extended in the first place was to improve matchmaking quality.

Longer queue -> More players -> More players around your skill level -> Better game quality on the average

[ShylokVakarian]

Can we talk about how genious the freaking Steam change is

You get another 700TP, making it more worth it
It shoots up the Steam version's sales
It gives you a boost to MP, which is their new free currency, allowing people to build up MP more quickly whilst still allowing BMG control of recently-released cosmetics through TP

It was just such a great move. Shape, honestly tell whoever first suggested this that they're a genius.

And yet none of us who had the game beforehand get any more TP.

I understand it'd be a lot of work, but it'd be nice to have a tiered tutorial system, hopefully with locks on game modes until you're knowledgeable enough to play those game modes. A quick tutorial for every role.

[kid0wan]

sorry but this update has buges in it i cant even play

[LevinSnakesRise]

sorry but this update has buges in it i cant even play

Please post a bug report in the Bug Report section - viewforum.php?f=10
following our Guidelines - viewtopic.php?f=10&t=9741

This way we can further help you by you giving us more details about the bug, and not clog up this update thread. Thanks!

Yeah but why do you say 5 minutes is necessary? or is that just completely random? Of course the longer you wait the more players you get, however the amount of players Qing up obviously isn't constant. So in the last 2 minutes u dont get that many players anyway.

[ksuc]

Can anyone please enlighten me why double-transporting is disabled since this patch? Specifically for which reason?

Removed the ability for the Transporter to select a player as both targets for their transport. This means the Transporter has to actually swap two players to prove his existence.

Is this enough?

True, but consider that with each update, a previous update's cosmetics becomes merit point purchasable (i.e. This update, the trainers are now purchasable with Merit Points). Soon, you will be able to purchase Brock Smith, Crimson Katana, etc, so there isn't really any reason to complain when you think about it.

I did'nt know that swapping the same player count as a transport message for that player. Now I know it and I'm glad they delete that.

A new tutorial, nice! I'm curious of how this goes.

Hopefully better than the first one

I started playing when the game was in 1.3.3 and after the tutorial, I thought that everyone's goal was to be the last person alive lol
