Balance Changes

Giggles

Due to how weak Giggles was earlier, I have considered to make almost a whole rework of this defender to be a good use.

  • (Lvl. 1) Decreased range studs 6 > 5, Increased cooldown 1.808 > 2.158
  • (Lvl. 2) Decreased cooldown 2.008 > 1.808, Decreased slow effect duration 5s > 2s.
  • (Lvl. 3) Removed slow effect buff.
  • (Lvl. 4) Decreased slow effect duration 7s > 5s, Increased cooldown 1.508 > 1.808, Decreased range studs 6 > 5.
  • (Lvl. 5) Removed slow effect buff, Now increases range studs 5 to 7.

Plaguer

  • Removed Hidden Detection. (Due to his permanent poison effect, even camouflaged enemies did not easily escape from this defender, they can still be poisoned by the splash damage.)

Bug Fixes

  • Dr. Mahl’s Robot from Advanced Difficulty broke when attempting to use Auto-Destruction attack.
  • Fixed enemies skipping waypoints in Town map.
  • Fixed Jennifer’s divided damage.
  • Fixed Magnus’s splash damage.
12/16/2022

New: MAX PLACEMENTS SYSTEM

  • Matches will now be a little more balanced, so depending of the amount of players in the server, the game will choose the limit for all players:
Max Players Max Placement
Solo (1) 40
Duo (2) 30
Trio (3) 25
Quad (4) 20

New Defender: Kai

  • Placement Price: 1,000
  • Has a placement limit of 4
  • Hides and protects himself and his allies from stuns. (Doesn’t recover them from being stunned.)
  • Activates hidden detection to allies who can’t detect hidden enemies.
  • Detects hidden enemies at Level 1.
  • Detects flying enemies at Level 4.

Other

  • Added Timer in Map and Mode Voting screens.

Changes

Dr. Mahl’s Robot attacks
  • Dr. Mahl’s Robot now changes the color of the eye before attacking.
Color Action
Red Auto-Destruction
Yellow Shield Activation
Pink Summon Enemies.
Max Placement System
  • Now due to the new Max Placements system, all defenders who had limit of 10 now have 30. But most limited defenders got this:
Defender Old Limit Current Limit
Gus 10 10
Jennifer 8 10
General 10 5

Bug Fixes

  • Fixed Matt, Alanys, Farm, General and Kate not spawning.
  • Fixed General’s ability.
⚠️ 12/14/2022

:warning: How to avoid Skin System bug Guideline

So a lot of work has been taken to make this system and yet we are experiencing bugs that still must be fixed, so in order to avoid the new bugs:

  • Do not equip multiple skins for the same defender. (Choose only one skin per defender.)
  • Defenders with more than 1 skin are our problem in this update, so try to avoid Farm’s skins but you can still buy its christmas skin in the Skins Store. (This problem will be fixed, do not worry.)
  • To equip the skins you want for your defenders, make sure to equip them in order. (For example: First defender I want to equip is Matt, and then equip his skin. If you will not equip his skin then choose the second defender of your list and so their skin, if not then repeat the same step, cause the bug consists in the fact that the game confuses the defender’s skin for other defender’s skin.)

New

  • Added new skins for Farm, Alanys and General.

Bug Fixes

  • Fixed Defenders breaking after attacking an enemy with negative effect. (This caused Defenders like Alanys, Baller, etc. causing other defenders except Lucien not be able to attack them.)

Skin System [WIP] Good and Bad news!

Good News

  • Skins for Matt, Kate and Farm have been released.
  • This will guarantee the beta version of this game.
  • Now we are two people working in that system.
  • Skins you bought before their release are saved in your inventory.
  • With this done, we will release holiday skins for the next confirmed defenders: Matt, Farm, Alanys and General.

Bad News

  • You can only equip one skin per loadout. (Meaning that you can equip Matt’s skin but you can’t use Farm’s skin at same time.)
  • Once we try to fix this problem, we will close the game again for maintenance so you don’t experience bugs affecting your data.

Bug Fixes

  • Kate’s barricade spawned in the Base of Town map.

🔧 29/11/2022

:wrench: Skins Disabled

  • Due to a bug for equipping for example Criminal Matt, you could use him and the default skin too, so I decided to disable skins until I make a revamp of it.

Changes

Balance

  • Zero (Lvl. 5): increased cooldown 2.008 > 2.208.
  • Stun effects durations decreased on Bosses. (This caused them to never reach to the base when using Alanys or Zero, not even close.)

General

  • Zero (Lvl.5-6): now shocks multiple enemies in a small radius.
  • Removed Highlight Instance from mobs. (This probably fixes some towers getting negative effect highlights on them.)
  • Minor modifications on Picnic Day map. (This fixes Hawks colliding with a sandwich :sandwich::yum:)

Bug Fixes

Visual

  • For some reason General fired at his allies when buffing their cooldown :face_with_raised_eyebrow:
  • Zack and Zero’s descriptions didn’t show up :sweat:

General

  • Slow Down negative effect boosted very slow enemies’ speed.
  • Zero didn’t take enemies’ max healths.
  • Shock/Freeze negative effects changed enemies’ speed even if they still had one of these effects active yet.
⚠️ 28/11/2022

:warning: Important Announcement

  • Kate and Farm skins are made but due to an insane bug going on when equipping them, I decided to delay them and focus on the important changes of the game. Thank you for your patience.

New

  • Zero has upgrades.

Changes

Balance

  • Kate (Lvl. 5) price has been reduced 16,700 > 12,000
  • Kate (Lvl. 6) price has been reduced 25,000 > 20,000
  • Dr. Mahl’s Robot health has been reduced 25,000 > 15,000
  • Dr. Mahl’s Robot attack cooldown has been increased 15s. > 18s.
  • Hawks: reduced spawn rate. (This caused the matches impossible to win without using Stella or Steven, since for now only they both detect flying enemies. Once Difficulties release, Hawks will no longer belong to Normal Mode.)

Others

  • Enabled Chat after Loading Screen in Main Menu. (This caused difficulties to plan strategies on team, and also there is no reason to keep it disabled.)

Bug Fixes

  • Criminal Matt had no limit placements.
  • Base health bar not loading.
  • Kate’s barricade falling from the map.
