Devlog Weekly News – KAG Update for Halloween

You will fail at first mine .n.

 

I like the changes done to trampolines. Makes it so you can have a trampoline on the ground, and a person carrying the trampoline whilst bouncing on the other trampoline, How to scale towers 101. I like the holiday aesthetics too, good update!

 

In my experience, mines are actually pretty reliable to use now while still being perfectly counterable. I mean a single arrow sets them off for shit's sake.

Get used to mines not being free rides over the enemy wall

 

Please be a release date

 

Have mines always worked that way though? I realise they prevent damage done to blocks but players too? and when they're on their side?

 

Re: Tramps.
Any way of nerfing tramp cannons makes me happy, but I wish you couldn't do it on TDM. So annoying when every map with tramps ends up with a guy holding a tramp and his entire team jumping up and down on it, stomping anyone who approaches -.-.

Re: Arrow collisions.
Not sure why this change was made tbh. These made for some of the best moments in KAG, whether you're shooting a keg away from someone, shooting a bomb back or fucking a bomb arrow, definitely the best moments.

Re: Mines.
Sigh.......... why?

So many broken things, and you guys fix things that aren't broken. I appreciate the update, but it's kinda annoying when an update comes and it makes the experience of KAG not as good.

 

Spoiler

gag, projectile colliding was one of the few special archer advantages it had. aiming for other archer's special arrows, shooting down ballista bolts / explosive bolts /if/ you were accurate or timely enough, destroying arrows mid-air that might hit a friendly. good to know knights are now the only ones with the capacity to destroy bolts mid-air, giving them another supposed buff.

 

Just checked, we can still shoot kegs at least

What if knights could destroy mines easier? It takes 12 slashes at the moment. I guess the good side of it is that teammates wont detonate enemy mines inside their own base.

 

Just tested the update because it looked interesting.

Obviously the tramps and mines are going to be spammed because people want to test them for the new update.

I was on a 30 player server and a lot of people had tramps. It was a little annoying at times because it seemed spammy. I think that will be toned down after people calm down about the update. I like the changes and even though mines are hard to get used to I think they're at a good spot.

Tramps and mines will provide some interesting elements in competitive play. Tramps now give knights an advantage when they are at lower ground. Mines require an archer or a builder to destroy now and they also can do more damage if they aren't dealt with.

I think they removed arrows from destroying projectiles because you are literally destroying 50 coins worth of a bomb arrow with a free regular arrow. It makes sense. I also think you can use tramps to block arrows and possibly bolts. It'd be a good idea to have a few lying around your tower so they are able to be thrown up quickly.

All in all a pretty solid update. I spend way less time on kag nowadays simply because the quality of life things that need to be fixed. I'm thinking about making a video of all of the bugs and shit that I'm experiencing if you guys are willing to make some fixes.

Great job guys, thanks for an awesome update.

 

@Skinney and @Verrazano .. TF were you even thinking.

 

*Cough*
Endless downloading of same mod after I deleted the modfolder
Huh?
Addition: Reentering KAG nor deleting mod folder again not hapenning, + I never issued this before
Are you sure you Deleted, not added dat mistake? O_O

 

I was skeptical about the mine changes, but they turn out not to be that terrible.
I only tested those on Iko's, which is slightly different from the original KAG gameplay, but this enforces a bit builders to go on the front and knights to be more careful about them (rather than running on them while sheilding). It may piss off at first, but they're quite funny to use now. Even though as everything in this game, spamming them ruins them.

 

Because knights need even more advantages

 

Nah, that was in other row.
I launched KAG, joined modded server, was not alivable to join (tho before update I would) experiencing the endless download bug, then I closed KAG and deleted mod folder. Launched KAG, still was issuing this problem. Reinstalled KAG, tried to delete mod folder again - nothing worked.
