Build 866 - Interim Patch, Lots of Changes!

I dig the grapple hooks.

 

Archers, dangling so deliciously from their little ropes now resemble nothing more than juicy, low hanging fruit ripe for the harvesting into the overflowing basket that is my KD. I think that archers feel like a better class though, which is a really good step forward in its own way.

With the new mobility mechanics I got up a 15 tile wall. I think this is really, really unnecessary. As much fun as it is to abuse these for crazy mobility I feel like knights have enough with bomb jumps and wall jumps were already a little excessive. Combat seems a bit off too, with lots of slashing through walls and weird hitbox stuff. Nothing too dire yet but still annoying, and the feeling of regression is frightening.

I really hope you guys have the last couple builds saved. I've been really impressed, overjoyed really, with how well beta has been turning out. It would be a tragedy to see beta go to the way of classic's last year and a half of development, one step forward two steps back.

 

How do i get this build

 

I enjoyed the update so far, but I also found a couple of bugs:

I noticed a bug where if you use the grappling hook into a tree and stay there, and then someone comes and chop down the tree, you will keep floating in the air.

And there is another one where you can use the grappling hook to pass through the ''red line'' that divides the battlefield in the beginning of each round.

 

Here you go;https://forum.kag2d.com/threads/welcome-to-the-silent-beta.13309/
Simply go to the link download beta and wait for the updates which would take a while 2-8 minutes depending on your internet and download speed
Enjoy!

 

Knights can Glide + Wallrun to climb any smooth surface.

For some reason lag is happening, and all hit detection is wonky.

 

What I think about new version: It is really ugly
1) You didn't atjust removed OP from archers - you atjust made them a fully shit
2) Grapping hook is short and buggy.
3) You was working on shielding guys by knight - now you can't blow up doors
4) New update - new shit. You can't watch map, kick players, play normally as archer, play with good ping.

 

Before I go in detail with my post, I want to say right away that archers need to be the way they are right now for a while so the mechanics can "sink in".

But I think the way the archers are right now turn the games into spamfests. Everybody spams the three-shot combo currently. The battlefields are riddled with arrows. I don't want to make it something that should be changed, but it could be worth a shot to make the overcharge shot make it an extremely fast arrow that travels a straight line. No extra damage, just give it a fast speed and no curved trajectory, to make it rewarding to play a sniper game. (Modders?)

 

I think most people, myself included, agree completely with this.

Yes. This. Bring sniping back, but make it take a long to charge the arrow, making it risky, but rewarding.

Though I don't know if the shot should go in a straight line. That might make it a little too easy to aim.

 

Is it just me, probably is, but archers seem horribly in inaccurate. Shots that I could of made before are almost impossible now.

 

Being an archer is strange as it is now.

Arrows fly slower, but move faster in water, comparatively.

Build 866

Spoiler: Community

Archers suck they can be killed easily by a knight...

 

They barely do any damage, or stuns.

Just acknowledge the latest posts above you, and in the archer gripe thread.
Archers pose very little threat to knights now.
