update1-18_thumbnail.jpg

Heroes,

Welcome to Update 1.18 on PlayStation 4! This update contains Weather Variations, more Shilling Cosmetics, three new Wind’s Mutators to Twitch Mode, and of course, the new career for Markus, the Grail Knight! With this update a new Weave order is in place, and the earlier rewards are no longer available.

You will be able to find the Grail Knight in Lohner's Emporium of Wonders and the PlayStation 4 store. On consoles, the Grail Knight will be available as a complete package only. Due to the differences in how the store front on PC is compared to the console stores, it has not been possible to split the content into two tiers as was achieved on Steam.

The full patch notes for all the fixes, tweaks and balance changes in this update can be found at the bottom fo this page, as well as an FAQ.

THE GRAIL KNIGHT

The Grail Knight is a new Premium Career for Markus Kruber. It contains the new playable career complete with a new talent tree, new weapon types, new abilities, a whole new Bretonnian Knight skin, and more.

The Grail Knight is available in the Microsoft Store and in Lohner’s Emporium of Wonders.

The Grail Knight is the pride of Bretonnia – a blessed warrior granted supernatural might by the mysterious Lady of the Lake. As all Bretonnian Knights, he never engages in ranged combat, instead favoring foes with the gift of close-quarters battle. Whether armed with his longsword or a trusty sword and shield, the Grail Knight is death to foul creatures wherever he encounters them

Patch Notes

Features

  • The Grail Knight career for Markus Kruber (de Mandelot) is available now!

  • Weather Variations added.

  • A new Weave order is in place for Update #25 - Earlier rewards are no longer available.

  • Added three Wind Mutators to Twitch Mode (Heavens, Death & Fire).


Weapon & Hero Tweaks

  • Scrounger and Conservative Shooter Traits could result in non mag-fed ranged weapons being left with no ammo if their last bit of ammo scored a headshot. Weapon switching would solve, but this fix should force a 'reload' next frame so QQ shouldn't be needed to restock.

  • Fixed broken block animation loop with dual daggers & adjust blendtime between push attack and block.

  • Fixed some cases of Phantom hits with Kruber's 'Tuskgor Spear'.

  • Repeating Pistols - Tweaked repeating pistols fire time to avoid an issue where the shot would become inaccurate.

  • Kerillian's Rejuvenating Lotus caused issues within Wind of Fire Weaves and lots of Friendly Fire issues. This has been solved.

  • Made bolt staff light attack trigger while holding the button before the player switches to that weapon.

  • Fixed an issue where Bardin would secretly have a throwing axe hidden, even though the interface said he didn't. This hidden axe could be viewable if you just pressed R quickly or took damage from an enemy whilst having no ammo left. Also polished up the animation when catching more than one axe.

  • Quickly doing Kruber’s Push attack into Heavy attack with the Sword and Shield causes the animation to go wild for a fraction of a second. This has been resolved now.


General Fixes & Tweaks

  • The sounds of the flies during either Nurgloth encounters are no longer heard inconsistently between host and client(s).

  • You now 'Talk' with Lohner instead of "Opening" him :|

  • Fixed an issue where Volley Crossbow Bolts became visible if you climb a ladder while aiming.

  • Fixed an issue where you could see through Kruber's arms during his first heavy with the spear.

  • Fixed some cases where the revive highlighting on a downed player persisted after the downed player was captured/KOd.

  • Packmasters should no longer slide in to action after being hurled by a Blightstormer.

  • Quickplay weaves now count for progression in the WoM challenges to Complete Weaves.

  • Kills in Weaves now contribute towards 1000 kills Challenge progression

  • Made some improvements to situations where players could appear in chat to have left a lobby, despite not leaving the lobby. This could cause end of round issues where players were then fully disconnected (but still obtained any rewards). This whole situation should be more graceful now.

  • Gas Clouds on elevated terrain should no longer allow enemies to pass through objects. Weird one this. But it's solved!

  • Bardin (Ranger Veteran) bot should no longer get stuck in his Activated Ability animation.

  • Bots can now revive players while on elevators.
