Patch Notes 1.1.0

[PyromonkeyGG]

New Features:

• End Game Screen
  - The new End Game Screen is a new post-game lobby where you can chat with the people from your game, add people as friends, see their in-game roles, report players and see their account names.
• Ranked Queue Release!
  - Welcome to the first pre-season of Ranked Town of Salem! Every player with at least 50 games played can play ranked and starts with 1200 ELO. Your ELO is your current ranking in Town of Salem and when playing Ranked you will be grouped with people with similar ELO. As you win ranked games, you will earn more ELO. As you lose ranked games, you will lose ELO. After pre-season, ELO will be reset to start the first season of Ranked play. People near the top of the standings will be getting various rewards at the end of the season.
• New Shop Stuff
  - New Character 'Candy', New Houses 'Bozo's Fun House' and 'Drop Ship' and a new Map 'Final Frontier'
  
  
• Statistics
  - While not currently being displayed, we have started to collect Player, Global and Role statistics for use later.

Bug Fixes:

• Fixed the missing shadow on some of the characters rock death.
• Various client improvements for faster/smoother play.
• Fixed a glitch with the Doge.
• The host from cannot visually add roles after the start timer kicks off.
• Camera will not go off screen on big resolutions.
• Fixed several server crash bugs.

FIRST


yey its finnaly coming out

[BirdyThePhoenix]

This patch is by far my favorite.

[Swordsworth]

Looks good

EDIT: I apologize if I sound pushy or impatient, but was the Trial System slated for this update or the next?

[Gobln]

So when?
Nevermind, Tommorow. This will be pretty swag to the mag.

[Gobln]

I assume the ELO lower cap is 1000. So there is an ELO hell thing.
I am pleased.

Glad to hear this isnt the first official season either.

[Alzar]

ELO?
*vibrates in excitement*
This is awesome :'D

[parkerparkour]

WAIT THE ESCORTS IN THE SHOPS NOW?!
YAAAAAAAASSSS

ELO TOO?!
MY HEART CAN'T TAKE IT
HELP IVE FALLEN AND I CANT GET UP
MY HEART
TOO MUCH JOY

[Gobln]

Just when I asked about the new update.

Finally. Just finally. Thank heavens. I'll certainly start playing again tomorrow!

Wait, how long does pre-season last?

I think they said in one of their streams 1-2 months. Could be shorter or longer for pre-season.

[LevinSnakesRise]

Looks good

It's currently up in the air, but changes were made on the back-end of the game to help support the trial system. The game and the Trial System are two separate entities. It won't be uploaded as an update to the game.

All I can say at this point. Sorry guys. At this point it's all a guess when it'll be fully ready. Those few kinks still aren't worked out just yet, the ones preventing it from being released and ready.

[parkerparkour]

wait has the update come out yet? my reading comprehension is not good late at night, and i cant see the new shop stuff

edit: whoops read announcements, got it

[chitownmvp01]

I'm definitely saving up for the Final Frontier Map! It looks so cool!

4 questions:

1. Have in-game mods been assigned yet and do we know who they are?
2. Is wins/losses the only factor in ELO ranking? For example, I would like to think that you should earn more ELO for winning as Werewolf than as town because Werewolf is a much harder role to win as.
3. If the answer to #2 is no currently, is there something like it planned in the future?
4. Does leaving a Ranked Match while dead or alive count as a loss in terms of ELO or is your ranking even more negatively affected?

[LevinSnakesRise]

Chit, it's been stated since the announcement of this patch going live on PTR for testing that in-game Mods are us Global Moderators, so yes, we've been assigned. Outside of Global Moderators, Chris, and BMG staff (Brandon, Jacob, and assuming Lowes included), there are no outside people assigned to in-game moderation, nor are there plans to look for outside sources of moderation. Blake and Josh feel more comfortable handing powers to people who have been managing the community and know what they are doing. (not to say some of you don't know what you'd be doing.)

(So glad no one caught my spelling screw-up on mobile. C:)

[YamiChan]

Glad to hear about the patch, but I do wish some of the role cards were given priority. We could lose games because the role cards are inaccurate.

[Optimus]

I can't wait for it to go live. Looks like I found my new house and map

[Nellyfox]

Which role cards are inaccurate ?
If you're referring to the ones on the homepage, then those haven't been updated in around a year.
Current versions of the role cards can be found here: viewtopic.php?f=3&t=13884#p343367

Sorry, I haven't followed what's been going on on PTR because whenever I try to play a game on it, barely anybody is online.

Also, what about my ELO questions:

2. Is wins/losses the only factor in ELO ranking? For example, I would like to think that you should earn more ELO for winning as Werewolf than as town because Werewolf is a much harder role to win as.
3. If the answer to #2 is no currently, is there something like it planned in the future?

Sorry if this has already been answered. I haven't been following as avidly as I have done in the past as I've been very busy with school and other things.

2.) Yes, the harder it is to win with a role, the more you win and the less you lose.

4.) Leaving a ranked match will give you a loss and you will be timed out from rejoining ranked games for 5 minutes. This amount may go up.

Excited

Ok. Thanks for the answer!

[Dewer]

Where can we find the ranked leaderboard or view your ELO?

[LevinSnakesRise]

It isn't out yet. The update has yet to get to the live version.

[Mark17]

And what about the sound notification when a ranked match is found?

[Kiwilein]
