We discovered a bug related to the pause menu scoreboard where it wouldn't hide itself properly and continued to update in the background while the menu was closed, impacting performance in high playercount servers. This will be fixed in the next hotfix.

that's badass man <3

Which servers is this happening on?

funny but def spam

We're addressing fire bombs in general in the next hotfix. You'll only be able to restock up to one at a time from the ammo box (and not say, all 3), and smoke+fire will cancel out entirely since they currently only affect the bits that overlap and the smoke doesn't dissipate, making it a bit useless for this purpose. There may be more tweaks.

Friendly melee hits no longer flinch parry

I am astonished anyone thought having friendly fire flinch parries was a good idea. Good you changed that back.

Nobody thought it was a good idea, it wasn't intended.

I'm curious, was change to toolbox just to deal with invisibility glitch? Was there really no other way bandaid that exploit like forcing people to reload a guy leaving a ballista?

This was initially a panic fix. We thought we fixed the invisibility glitch, but it turned out it was still possible, and we knew we were going to have to ship, so this was the first step. The invisibility glitch turned out to be fairly complicated, but we managed to squash it before release regardless, so the clipping restrictions were a bit overboard. The invisibility glitch was due to a peculiarity with the engine dealing with scale, and if someone built the ballista while out of sight, the ballista construction animation never played, and if he got onto that ballista and left it, he was left at a miniscule scale of around 0.01%. So technically nobody was ever invisible, just really, really small.

Bug causing the server to crash. Will be addressed in the hotfix.

Just fixed this for the upcoming hotfix, thanks for reporting it!

We're fixing it in the hotfix, along with other things, no worries!

Maybe I understood it wrong, but isn't this the fix for that bug?

Partially, but you could also use the toolbox to clip into the map very easily, so it was related to it.

The reason why it was changed is because learning to chamber everything is a bad idea, and the training sword wasn't actually useful in learning how to fight. You were building bad habits by using it and relying on chambers.

We had to tweak some conditions for placement due to the invisibility bug, but we're looking into some further tweaks to make it more useful now :)

Right now we're just focused on post update polish and getting some hotfixes out, but once things settle down we'll talk and try to get a roadmap put together.

Added Crown wearable

Have you guys seen it? I'm not finding it in the options.

sorry guys, we shouldn't have left this in the notes. The crown/crowned barbutes are for the winners of the Venatus tournament.
