4.3.8 - We're LIVE!

nad

Hey guys,



We've just pushed out 4.3.8! At a glance, here's what's new in this release (nerds and geeks can read on after):

-> New Shop UI
-> New Armor UI
-> New Mystery Boxes & Lucky Draws
-> New Login Lucky Draw
-> New Quick Items (Charge your Health, Armor & Ammo in game)
-> New Gear COMING THIS FRIDAY!
-> New Servers with ping limits
-> Many small bugs fixed

New Shop UI

We've removed The Underground & cleaned up The Shop UI to make it easier to browse and buy weapons! Weapon stats are now shown on hover & there's a new easier to read buy panel!

New Armor UI

We've been getting confused by our Armor system for longer than you have - which is why we've changed the way that Armor values are displayed in The Shop.

* Armor Points remain the same
* Absorption Rate is now called Defense Bonus and your loadout stats are shown to you in The Shop

NOTE: We now calculate your Defense Bonus globally rather than individually for Upper & Lower body. This means that the numbers displayed in The Shop are now half of what they were before - the in-game values haven't changed at all.

Before

Black Corps Body Armor - 40 Armor Points & 40% Absorption Rate
Black Corps Leg Armor - 40 Armor Points & 40% Absorption Rate

After

Black Corps Body Armor - 40 AP & 20% Defense Bonus
Black Corps Leg Armor - 40 AP & 20% Defense Bonus

In the old system - your loadout would display 80% AR - now it's a 40% Defense Bonus. Remember - gameplay hasn't changed at all - if it took 3 shots to kill you before, it takes 3 shots to kill you now!

New Mystery Boxes & Lucky Draws



Completely new to UberStrike - you're now able to play in The Shop to win permanent, new & exclusive weapons from as little as 900 Credits! As part of a soft launch you can only play for Credits, however you get one free daily Lucky Draw on login and we'll be adding the ability to play for points over time.

New Login Lucky Draw



We've replaced the previous Daily Points with a Daily Lucky Draw! Prizes vary, so log in every day to see what's in store!

New Quick Items

For the first time ever you're able to charge your ammo, health & armour in game using quick items! Head to The Shop to check them out - points prices are available at launch. Default Controls are:

'E'- Use Quick Item
'R'- Select Quick Item
or '6-8' for dedicated slot keys!

NOTE: The stats for these are subject to change - we're going to be modifying the values for these regularly, welcoming your feedback.

Bug Fixes & Tweaks

- Speedhack detection refined
- Cooldown period added to weapon quick switching
- Sabertooth heat-up fixed
- Gideon's Towers basement colliders fixed
- Friends online status fixed in friends list
- ToR Spring grenade issues fixed
- Zombie Lutz player name fixed

P.S. We're still pushing a few things here and there - Mac App Store players should see the App Store prompting them to update in the coming hours!

Might I say, Awesome!

EDIT:
When can we expect to see Permanent Duration of Items for points integrated? That was probably the biggest thing I was hoping for.

Thanks. In a way, I don't agree 100% with the bots. Going to be quite hard to arrange clan wars 1v1 so forth..
But everything else is great. Uber is as flash as it has ever been. The new shop features is awesome and a lot more clearer.


Edit: I changed a few things I came on to negative.

I agree. That's why we're going to be experimenting a lot with the values to make sure they don't break the game.

If you'd like to support any ideas such as modifiers on game creation for 1v1 to disallow healthbots - start a conversation going in the suggestions forum and we'll see what we can do.

ok update so far

NO BOTS
it will be abused in basics clan wars and 1v1s

how will you know to trust them when they say they have no bots.

Chillingo

There should be a bot mode that you don't need Internet for like the training mode but you ca.n chose how hard the CPU is!

-B|oodseeker-

EDIT: I HATE THIS UPDATE.
