PLAY NOWVersion 0.9.0 beta patch notes
General
Accounts
- The old accounts system has now been replaced with a new one.
- Players now have to choose a fixed username when they login for the first time. Random nicknames can not be used in the game anymore.
- If a previously used facebook / google account is used for signing up, the old points on that account will be retained.
- Players who play without an account will get a guest username and may get restricted from accessing some features and gamemodes.
Game Points
- Points have now been categorised and seperated into two systems now:
- Experience Points (XP). Earnable in Classic, Ultrafission and Instant Merge.
- Ryuten Points (RP). Earnable in Multibox 1v1.
Game physics
- Physics of orb element have been tweaked for better play experience.
- Orbs used to move fast even when they were big. The orb speed curve has therefore been lowered down to reduce the orb speed at bigger sizes.
- Orb element has also got physics changes related to splitting. The boosting phase time has been lowered down along with a little drop in the covered distance.
- Maximum world size has been reduced by around 30% by area while the minimum world size has been kept same as before.
User Interface
Player Information
- Player's information (username, XP / RP, rank) can now be seen at the top right corner in the main menu.
Team and Pin
- Team and pin input have got a visual update. Pin input will now remain hidden by default and become visible when the cursor is brought over the team input. This will help streamers to keep their pin hidden from the audience.
Login
- Since the login system has been updated, the old login options have been removed from the main menu.
- When the user isn't logged in, a login button is visible next to the guest username. Clicking this will redirect the user to the ryuten login page.
Rankings
- Rankings have been moved from the game client to the main website and now can be viewed from here.
Recording bar
- The recording bar has been removed in favour of keeping the hud overlay minimal as all the tasks that could be performed using the bar can also be done using hotkeys.
