Patch Notes PC 1.03 - Nov 05 2015

Character Updates

Gordo
A series of adjustments (both nerfs and buffs) to make the character more responsive to skilled play, and less overwhelming from unskilled play. Gattlign and slam now have layers where you can perform well, or poorly with them.

-Dead zone fixed : could not return fire for 18 frames, after being hit
-Gordo now required to accelerate crank on his gattling, instead of starting at full fire rate he now starts firing slow and build over time. A skilled gordo needs to “earn” firing at his opponent at max rate
-Max fire rate decreased
-Slight increase on dmg per bullet
-Gordos rage (slam) cooldown increased from 5secs to 6secs Gordo can now recover from his own slam animation in 50 frames instead of 84 frames allowing him more escape options in 3v3
-Molotov fire does not deal dmg for the first tick, to compensate for latency and make sure players dont receive dmg before the flames go off
-Molotov now deals dmg every .5 sec instead of every 1.0 secs, to compensate for the first tick not dealing dmg
-Flames Dmg volumes shrunk to better align with Fire FX. (was extending past the fire fx before)


Gunman
Was victim to over effective stunning

-Gunman Stun time fixed, (reduced 30 frames) to be consistent with other outlaws
-Gunman Knife impact fixed (reduced) to be consistent with other outlaws
-Gunmans Badge no longer equips a mysterious knife


Deserter
General push to decrease deserters ability to abuse high mobility techniques over and over. A fix to deserters snipe move, now properly causing stuns.

- Adrenaline cooldown increased to 20 sec. from 15 sec
- Adrenaline duration decreased to 6 sec from 7 sec
- Snipe not stunning bug fix. Players would slide around while falling down. Deserters snipe shot now stuns players
-Snipe move minimum distance now starts at 3 meters, instead of 7 meters. He was getting the ability to instantly stun someone at 7 meters, he now needs to charge
- Increased charge time on Impale slightly to prevent Impale Locks.
-Stamina recovery decreased, to reduce his mobility. Deserter still has 3 stamina units, but using them has a higher cost
- Collision system fixes to make sure deserter cannot shoot people into world Geo with Bayonet


Wolf
Wolf arrows are now more reliable, but adjusted to be less spammable.

- Wolfs arrows are now more precise & cleaner to hit. Arrow velocity increased, to decrease from the time they are launched to when they hit their target (making things more accurate)
- Wolfs consecutive hit Crit Dmg Bonus increased by 5 units
- Wolf basic arrow fire rate slowed down, to reduce toe to toe combat & Crit spamming and keep crits skill based. This compensates for the cleaner accuracy


War Monger
Cleaner throwing

-Tomahawk velocity increased, to make his throws more accurate


Mad Trapper
More responsive throwing

- Trappers throw time more responsive. Trap will leave hand 12 frames sooner


Kidred
More responsive throwing

- Dynamite now leaves his hands much faster on release
- Throwing trajectory has been corrected, so he can properly clear low objects in front of him. Before he would randomly clip objects in front of him making his dynamite unreliable when standing behind objects

General Features and Fixes

- Movesheets now available to view in Pregame, Lobby, and Character creation
- Gameplay coutndown now starts immediately. There was a deadzone of 3 seconds you had to wait before countdown which has been streamlined out
- Posse leader now receives 10% dmg (instead of 5%) for each kill in posse mode, to add incentive for combat instead of running
- Posse leader REMOVED from random search in 3v3. People can still vote for it specifically, but feedback was that random was better suited between deathmatch/domination
- fix for crow thumbnail showing in find friends dialogue instead of phantom
- fix for bounty penalty for leaving Arcade Mode
- Aesthetic fixes for colors in “elite” seasonal leaderboard
- misc fixes for some scenarios causing “stuck on launch” at matchmaking screen
- Added Option to "Start Match with AI" to Rookie Mode and Private Mode
