New Patch


1) Users that have Darklight Vision will now display an icon next to their name when the implant is active. This can provide warning to Infiltration Suit users and helps to make Darklight from being 100% effective all the time because stealthers *can* get a bit of warning. Currently, you'll be able to see that icon when within 40m of the implant user. That range may be tweaked after further playtests.

2) Ground vehicles get more "time to be disabled" when underwater. Also, there is no "instant disable" because the water is too deep. You'll always at least get a *chance* to get out...no matter how slim.

3) Galaxies can now carry Lightnings.

4) The secondary fire modes on Decimators and Strikers now have the same sized CoF as the primary modes.

5) Revive has been reduced to a cost of 25 units instead of 50 (for reload purposes). Additionally, the revived person now comes back to life at 100 health (although stamina and armor are still reduced). NOTE: This is just a small bump-up for the Medics. It's not all the attention we intend to give them.

6) Respawn timers have changed. If you respawn at a Facility, it takes 20 seconds. At an AMS is 30 seconds. At a Tower is 40 seconds. These timers are drastic. This was done intentionally. The numbers will be adjusted after watching gameflow tonight. Your constructive feedback is appreciated on the forums.

7) Found a few server issues that *may* increase zone stability significantly tonight.

8) The following maps were updated with fixes. Those fixes range from things you *will* notice (like a couple Towers that had basements underwater) and things you probably *won't* notice (like a tree interpenetrating another tree, or a floating rock grounded down properly). The maps involved are Solsar, Ishundar, Searhus, Amerish, and all three Sanctuaries.

2.) Although, I am confused with the water and vehicles thing... I never bothered going by water, so anyone explain this better to me?

3.) ooooooh, I like the lightning on galaxies! Bout time...

6.) I like the change, it seemed like too many kept pouring out of nearby towers of a base and storming in, hopefully this would slow it down. I like battles that tend to take their time to finish.

1.) Thats a start, we'll see how that works out

3.) Sweet, might consider getting a lighting cert now

6.) Might be good, might be bad, I hope its great.

The vehicle/water change should be great. I accidently slid my AMS into 2 1/2 feet of water in hossin my first time there... it was like hitting a brick wall. The thing just came to a stop and wouldnt move an inch. I also died the instant I opened the door

I like how galaxies can carry lightnings now too. I thought they were supposed to, originally... I was surprised when I found that wasnt the case.

I just dont like the darklight change. I always loved stumbling around a cloaked guy like I didnt see him... just slowly getting closer and closer, then suddenly sticking my shotgun in his face
Oh well, it's for the best I'm sure

I don't like them putting in voice IP, partly because I just chat with my clan on TS2, and it caused a ton of bugs.

Number six is great, I always thought the respawn times should be longer, but I still think they should be like 1 to 2 minutes.

Silly Lightning, Galaxies are for ANTs.

Contrary to popular belief, the respawn timer change was not implemented to change gameplay, but rather to keep gamers from developing ruptured bladders and/or dying of starvation.
