CENTURION

(Changes that first were shown in the original Testing Grounds are in regular text – while changes made since Testing Grounds are in italics for quick discoverability.) Centurion has suffered from some problems in his fight kit – his offense never forces a reaction from the opponent in 1v1 scenarios and is not much help in group fight scenarios other than in an extremely powerful ability to gank through inconsistent rules when it comes to revenge-armor and binding. These aspects mean that Centurion is basically forced to turtle in 1v1s until a Parry allows the cutscene, and in 4v4 gank into the cutscene. This is very limiting for the Centurion, and frustrating for the opponent. Here, we've made a number of adjustments based on the player feedback to the Testing Grounds to address the need for the Centurion to be able to initiate and sustain offense while removing the possibility of flowing into a lengthy cutscene, and also reducing the situations in which he would be able to bind his opponents into certain death. We believe that these changes will do exactly that! (For more information please consult our dedicated blogpost). Centurion – The Changes We addressed the Problems that were called out in the Testing Grounds with the following:

IMPROVEMENTS

GENERAL

Removal of Revenge Lock We have removed or greatly diminished the Revenge Lock for moves that force a specific animation when they land. Developer Comments: Moves that force your opponent into a specific animation when they land an attack stopped you from activating Revenge. This leads to multiple issues, including a lack of responsiveness on activating Revenge and a lack of comprehension as to why Revenge didn't activate. To curb this issue, we've removed all forms of Revenge Lock, with the exception of some attacks, where the Revenge Lock window has been greatly diminished to ensure that activating Revenge is more responsive. As a rule, players can now activate Revenge from moves that force a specific animation as soon as the damage (Health Pool damage, Stamina damage, or both) has been applied. Here are the Heroes and moves affected by this change:
  • Aramusha (Ring the Bell)
  • Black Prior (Fixed issue with Bulwark Counter)
  • Gladiator (Skewer, Punches during Skewer, Fuscina Ictus ("Toe Stab"), and fixed issue with Throws, including throws from Skewer, generating Revenge)
  • Highlander (Caber Toss)
  • Hitokiri (Rei Kick)
  • Jiang Jun (Dou Shi's Choke)
  • Jormungandr (Heavy Finishers, Jotunn Grudge, Jotunn Surge, Jotunn Farewell, Jotunn Gift)
  • Lawbringer (Long Arm)
  • Nuxia (Glass Waltz, Jade Ballet)
  • Orochi (Hurricane Blast)
  • Peacekeeper (After 3rd Bleed Stab)
  • Raider (Knee hit after Stampede Charge)
  • Shaman (After the bite during Predator's Mercy)
  • Shaolin (Sun Kick, Sun Kick Sweep)
  • Shinobi (Forward Double Kick, Side Double Dodge Kick, Sickle Rain (initial hit), 3rd hit of Sickle Rain Stabs, Slide Tackle, Front Roll Kick, Teleport Kick)
  • Shugoki (After the hit during Demon's Embrace, Headbutt)
  • Tiandi (Palm Strike, Dragon Kick)
  • Valkyrie (Shoulder Pin, Spear Sweep)

FIGHTERS

Fight Adjustments Jormungandr
  • [Adjustment] Uninterruptible Stance:
    • Top Heavy Opener now has Uninterruptible Stance starting at 600ms (from 400ms)
    • Side Heavy Openers now have Uninterruptible Stance starting at 500ms (from 400ms)
    • Serpent Smite (Dodge Forward Heavy) now has Uninterruptible Stance starting at 700ms (from 100ms)
Developer Comments: Early activation of Uninterruptible Stance has been identified as frustrating by players. As with our standardization on Guard Break Vulnerability timings of Heavy Attacks in a previous patch, with this patch we look to explore minimum timings for Uninterruptible Stance on Opener Attacks. In Jormungandr’s case, we think it is most interesting to have Uninterruptible Stance appear 100ms after the Feint timing of the Heavy Openers – this removes the “Heavy on Red” possibility.
  • [Adjustment] Stamina Damage
    • Decreased Jotunn Gift (GB Melee) to 20 stamina damage (from 40)
    • Decreased Jotunn Surge (Down+Melee Starter) to 30 stamina damage (from 35)
    • Decreased Jotunn Farewell (Melee Finisher) to 30 stamina damage (from 45)
    • Decreased Jotunn Gift, Jotunn Surge, Jotunn Farewell, and Jotunn Grudge (Parry Melee) stamina regeneration pause to 1.8s (from 2.5s)
Developer Comments: Reducing the stamina damage and regeneration pause should reduce the perceived frustration of fighting against the Jormungandr.
  • [Adjustment] Finishers
    • Light Openers now chain to the 2nd Light Attack starting at 266ms (from 200ms)
    • Jotunn Surge (Down+Melee Starter) now chains to the finishers starting at 500ms (from 400ms)
Developer Comments: The timing changes here now mean that it’s easier for the opponent to parry the light finisher.
    • Jotunn Farewell (Melee Finisher) Hit recovery is now 633ms (from 600ms)
    • Light Finisher Hit recovery is now 833ms (from 800ms)
    • Light Finisher Block recovery is now 733ms (from 700ms)
    • Light Finisher Knockback is slightly less far (to ensure GB afterward works)
Developer Comments: These timing changes mean that after a Light Finisher, or Jotunn Farewell (Melee Finisher), the Jormungandr is now frame disadvantaged by 33ms. This means the opponent can perform a Light Opener, and this will stuff any Light Opener or Jotunn Surge from the Jormungandr. We expect that the changes made here will allow opponents to no longer feel frustrated that they cannot deal with Jormungandr’s “spam”.
  • [Adjustment] Feint -> GB
    • Heavy Opener’s recovery branching to Heavy Finisher is now at 200ms (from 300ms)
Developer Comments: This allows the Jormungandr to Feint -> Guard Break from the Heavy Finisher and have it properly connect. Hitokiri
  • [Adjustment] Heavy Opener
    • Uncharged Heavy Opener no longer has Uninterruptible Stance
Developer Comments: Early activation of Uninterruptible Stance has been identified as frustrating by players (and lead to the famous “Heby on Red” memes). As with our standardization on Guard Break Vulnerability timings of Heavy Attacks in a previous patch, with this patch we look to explore minimum timings for Uninterruptible Stance on Opener Attacks. In Hitokiri’s case, we think it is most interesting to have Uninterruptible Stance appear only on fully charged attacks, rather than the uncharged versions.
  • [Adjustment] Sweep
    • Uninterruptible Stance now starts at 1000ms (from 800ms)
Developer Comments: Players should now be able to Light to stuff a Hitokiri out of a Sweep attempt.
  • [Adjustment] Senbonzakura
    • Is now considered a Top Unblockable Attack (and is therefore Parryable)
Developer Comments: Frustrating scenarios with this Feat include when you get killed by it while you were in Parry Stun from Parrying a different attacker. Now, Parrying that first attack with let you Auto-Parry this. Similarly, a well-timed Revenge Activation will now knockdown an incoming Senbonzakura.
  • [Adjustment] Light Finishers
    • Light Finishers are no longer Enhanced, and so are interrupted on Block
    • Light Openers now chain to the next attack starting at 200ms (from 100ms)
    • Heavy Openers and Infinite Heavies now chain to the next attack starting at 366ms (from 300ms)
Developer Comments: The timing changes here now mean that it’s possible for the opponent to dodge the light finisher. Combined with the removal of the Enhanced property, we expect to see fewer complaints of Hitokiri “light spam”. Shugoki
  • [Adjustment] Light Attack
    • Uninterruptible Stance now starts at 300ms (from 200ms)
  • [Adjustment] Heavy Opener
    • Now gains Uninterruptible Stance no earlier than 433ms when launching a strike (from 400ms)
    • Is no longer Guard Break Immune during the Charge portion
Developer Comments: Early activation of Uninterruptible Stance has been identified as frustrating by players. As with our standardization on Guard Break Vulnerability timings of Heavy Attacks in a previous patch, with this patch we look to explore minimum timings for Uninterruptible Stance on Opener Attacks. These later timings should make it less easy for Shugoki to make successful trades. Jiang Jun
  • [Adjustment] Health Pool
    • Decreased Health Pool to 140 (from 145)
Developer Comments: This reduces the maximum base Health Pool for any hero to 140. Lawbringer
  • [Adjustment] Health Pool
    • Decreased Health Pool to 140 (from 150)
  • [Adjustment] Impale
    • Impale attack now follows the same rules for binding an opponent on hit as other attacks
Developer Comments: This reduces the maximum base Health Pool for any hero to 140. Nuxia
  • [Adjustment] Deadly Duet
    • Now increases damage dealt by 20% (from 15%)
Developer Comments: We expect this to help Nuxia become more threatening when she’s in 1-on-1 situations.
  • [Adjustment] Infection
    • Now causes a Light Hit Reaction when Cast (previously caused no hit reaction).
    • Now lasts 10 seconds for 10 possible ticks of damage (from 6.9 seconds for 6 ticks)
    • Now deals 10 damages per second (from 5 for the first tick, and +3 for each incremental ticks)
    • Decreased Cooldown to 120 seconds (from 180)
    • Decreased Radius to 5m (from 6m)
    • Visual feedback improved
Developer Comments: We expect this feat to do a much better job of forcing opponents apart. The improved damage and length should threaten opponents and will definitely expect to see this effect more often in matches going forward. Should synergize well with Deadly Duet.

BOTS

  • [Adjustment] Adjusted the Bots so that they’re not so defensively powerful. They should now parry less frequently and get hit by more attacks especially if the attack is fast.
Developer Comments: One of the main criticisms of the Bots are their extreme propensity towards blocking or parrying the 2nd-or-later attack thrown at them. In practice, this means that you cannot sustain offense against this kind of Bot behaviour, and you are forced to stop attacking and counterattack instead. We would prefer that players can throw the same kind of attacks against Bots that are useful against real human players, and this change should allow for that now.

MAP

Sanctuary Bridge General
  • [Adjustment] A ladder access has been added at the overpass bridges leading into each Capture Zone
  • [Adjustment] Some ledges have been closed off in various areas
Capture Zone A
  • [Adjustment] The central brasero pedestal has been changed from square-shaped to cylindrical at Capture Zone A. It has also been lowered deeper into the ground
  • [Adjustment] The drop down at Capture Zone A has been improved for better response to drop input.
Capture Zone C
  • [Adjustment] The wooden roof awning near the Belltower at Capture Zone C has been removed
  • [Adjustment] Clusters of debris have been removed from the interior portion at Capture Zone C
  • [Adjustment] The cart that served as a double drop under Capture Zone C has been replaced with a pile of debris for a single drop input.
Developer Comments: We added a ladder for each overpass bridge because we felt that Players trying to take back their “Home Team” Capture Zone weren’t given enough options to approach. This will also allow Players to take the Central Lane path and make a choice to either go up to their respective Capture Zone or continue to the Lane, without committing to one or the other. The new changes to the bracero at Capture Zone A, allow for better navigation and weapon tracking when fighting around it. Various Quality of life changes throughout the map serve for better fight-spaces and navigation comfort.

BREACH

  • [Adjustment] Guardian Boost visual effect, that was placed on the Map near the Guardian, has been improved
Developer Comments: We previously had a glowing visual effect on the Guardian's altar that corresponded to the Guardian Boost (Shield/Sword/Boots). After the recent changes to the Guardian, these elements no longer matched with the new Guardian rewards. Keeping a visual effect was still deemed important to have in that area, when Players glance into his chamber to see if he spawned.

USER INTERFACE

  • [Adjustment] The “EVENT” playlist on the Multiplayer Map now has a timer that counts down to when the Event will end

SPECTATOR CAMERA

  • [Adjustment] The delay while watching a LIVE match have been reduced from 10-15 seconds to 5-7 seconds (depending of your network conditions)

CUSTOMIZATION

  • [Adjustment] Improved the player expression of the Nobushi to make outfits look better
  • [Adjustment] Improved the player expression of the Warden, Male and Female, to make outfits look better

BUG FIXES

FIGHTERS

Warden

Black Prior
  • [Bug Fix] Fixed an issue that allowed Bulwark Counter to be used in unintended situations
Developer Comments: This means Bulwark Counter no longer counters Feat Traps, players entering/exiting ladders, ragdoll bodies, etc.

Tainted Gift
  • [Bug Fix] Fixed an issue that caused Healing burst effects to not be properly color tinted
