[p]Hello Wild Ones![/p][p][/p][p]We’ve been receiving a great deal of enthusiastic feedback recently (special thanks to several very dedicated “global players” and active community members). Everyone has offered valuable suggestions regarding balance, new content, and the overall gameplay experience. In this week’s log, we’ll address some of the most frequently raised topics.[/p][p][/p][p]01 Key Balance & Combat Adjustments[/p]

• [p]Regarding Akaihime (Fox) Adjustments. We’ve received detailed feedback about Akaihime’s perceived overperformance (particularly concerning slide-melee, rocket jumping, and skill cooldown mechanics).[/p]
  • [p]Response: Your analysis is highly professional! We’ve cross-referenced these suggestions with our internal adjustment plans. Here’s a preview: adjustments for Akaihime are coming soon, including balance changes to her skill mechanics. Stay tuned![/p]
• [p]Other Balance Feedback[/p]
  • [p]AN94 Recoil Optimization: Some players reported that the first two shots of the AN94 feel overly random, causing missed shots. We’ve logged this and are scheduling adjustments to ensure more consistent gunplay.[/p]
  • [p]Medic Scoring: To address the low scoring efficiency of support roles, we recently adjusted Erwin’s (Cat) scoring mechanics. Further iterations will follow to ensure supportive contributions are properly quantified.[/p]
• [p]Ultimate Charge Logic Clarification[/p]
  • [p]Mechanics Note: Many players feel that different Valiants charge their Ultimates at different rates. This is by design—we set charge requirements based on each Valiant’s characteristics and intended strength (e.g., the difference between Akaihime and Norman).[/p]

[hr][/hr][p]02 Game Experience & Core Optimizations[/p]

• [p]No “Superpowers”: Anti-Cheat in Progress[/p]
  • [p]Regarding Macros & Rapid-fire Tools: We’re continuously monitoring behaviors that disrupt fair play, including macro usage, rapid-fire scripts, and aim-assist exploits.[/p]
  • [p]Our Commitment: Rest assured, we will continue to issue bans based on abnormal data and player reports. Even attempts at violation will be penalized. Maintaining a fair competitive environment is our bottom line.[/p]
• [p]Map & Interaction Fixes[/p]
  • [p]No More Getting Stuck: We’re investigating and fixing geometry issues—such as rocks in Mountain Point D, snow piles on Snow map, and small bumps in Bay—that cause characters to get caught, using coordinates provided by the community.[/p]
  • [p]Skill Description Corrections: Discrepancies between skill demonstration videos/text and actual effects (e.g., Jack’s wallhack) will be updated soon to avoid confusion.[/p]
  • [p]UI Improvements: Issues like the character panel blocking map clicks in the deployment interface, as well as requests to resize the deployment map, have been added to our optimization list.[/p]

[hr][/hr][p]03 Future Content Preview[/p]

• [p]New Modes & Gameplay[/p]
  • [p]PVE Mode Info: The “monster-hunting” mode many have asked about is in development. What we can share now: it will be a squad-based mode that heavily emphasizes role (class) specialization.[/p]
  • [p]Custom Room Upgrades: We’re working on adding more adjustable parameters (e.g., faction-based skill/HP adjustments, weapon fire rate) to give custom games more flexibility.[/p]
  • [p]Talent System Plans: Inspired by your “class specialization” suggestions, we’re designing a talent system to create skill differentiation, allowing the same hero to branch into distinct playstyles.[/p]
• [p]Winter Surprises & Cultural Merch[/p]
  • [p]Christmas Skins: Yes! New holiday-themed skins will be released during the festive season. Our art team says they “really love these outfits,” and we hope you will too![/p]
  • [p]Theme Song: Will Wild Assault have its own theme song? The answer is: we’re working on it![/p]

[hr][/hr][p]04 Community & Communication[/p]

• [p]Regarding Promotion[/p]
  • [p]We fully understand how player activity affects the overall game experience. Beyond routine promotion at key update milestones, we sincerely invite every Valiant to help us spread the word—whether through awesome highlight clips, creative fan works, or word-of-mouth recommendations. Your support means everything to us.[/p]
• [p]Communication Channels[/p]
  • [p]If you encounter any bugs or have great ideas, feel free to reach out via Discord DMs (contact Leo or the official CombatCat account). While we may be too busy developing to vlog about our daily studio life, we read every piece of feedback carefully.[/p]

[hr][/hr][p]05 Anthea’s Optimization Needs Your Voice![/p]

• [p]Don’t forget to check out the new in-game survey! Any feedback on “Snow Leopard—Anthea”—whether about her grapple mechanics, visual model, or balance—can be shared directly with the dev team through the survey. We’ll carefully review and evaluate every response, and we look forward to crafting a better Anthea together with you![/p]

[p]Hello Wild Ones![/p][p][/p][p]It’s time for another edition of Wild Assault Dev Log. Recently, we’ve received a massive amount of passionate feedback from the community, specifically regarding AI logic, Valiant balance, and the matchmaking experience. We have evaluated these issues one by one and scheduled them for development. Here are our concentrated answers to the key questions from this period:[/p][p][/p][p]🛠️ Part 1: Core Experience & BOT Optimization (Top Priority)[/p][p]We’ve seen all your complaints about "Brainless BOTs" and "God-Mode BOTs"![/p]

• [p]Regarding BOT "Acting" and "AimBOTting":[/p]
  • [p]We are aware of the extreme experience where current BOTs "pretend not to see you, then suddenly spin 180 degrees and lock onto your head." There is also a huge gap in difficulty between high-level BOTs (like the Bear) and low-level BOTs (like the Cat).[/p]
  • [p]Response: The dynamic balance is indeed imperfect. BOT optimization is officially on the schedule. We will adjust the AI's accuracy mechanism to prevent "aimBOT" behavior that unfairly targets high-skill players. We will also fix the intensity gap between different characters (e.g., teaching the Cat BOT to use skills to revive teammates).[/p]
• [p]Regarding BOT Rescue Logic:[/p]
  • [p]Addressing the issue where BOTs ignore dying teammates or walk away immediately if their rescue attempt is interrupted.[/p]
  • [p]Response: A fix is scheduled. In the future, we will ensure BOTs prioritize responding to player calls for help and commit to the rescue.[/p]
• [p]Regarding BOT Spawn Privileges:[/p]
  • [p]Addressing the issue in Stronghold/Point Capture modes where BOTs respawn directly on the point, while players respawn far away.[/p]
  • [p]Response: This definitely affects fairness. We will verify and fix this as soon as possible to ensure BOTs do not have "airdrop" privileges.[/p]
• [p]Regarding BOT Tactical Logic:[/p]
  • [p]Suggestion: BOTs should know how to hide and wait for respawns when their team is wiped out, rather than blindly rushing in to die.[/p]
  • [p]Response: This is a great suggestion. We will research and optimize the BOT's tactical retreat logic.[/p]

[p]⚔️ Part 2: Valiant & Balance Adjustments[/p]

• [p]🦊 Uly (Meerkat) – Ultimate & Survivability:[/p]
  • [p]Burrow Attack: Players suggested adding "Uppercut" damage when Uly bursts out of the ground during his Ult. Suggestion Accepted! This will increase Uly 's AOE damage and fun factor. We will implement this as soon as possible.[/p]
  • [p]Ultimate ability & Deployment: We are evaluating how to adjust the invincibility frames while burrowing and whether to give players the choice to generate a deployment point (this may be added to settings or talents).[/p]
  • [p]Solo Capability: Although Uly is positioned as a Specialist who relies on teamwork, we are researching ways to give him more room for survival in solo combat.[/p]
• [p]🐊 Valiant Role Clarification:[/p]
  • [p]Crock(Crocodile): Positioned as a scout who infiltrates the front lines. Core mechanic is vision/wall-hacks.[/p]
  • [p]Uly (Meerkat): Positioned as a tactical expert. Core mechanic is coordinating rotations and stealing points.[/p]
• [p]🦨 Marquez (Skunk):[/p]
  • [p]The Toxin skill currently has an issue with damage stacking too high. We will evaluate and adjust this so the damage logic matches the poisoning duration.[/p]
• [p]🔫 Weapon Adjustments:[/p]
  • [p]Shotguns: Currently underperforming (especially on Guardians). Optimization is on the schedule.[/p]
  • [p]AR Distribution: regarding the suggestion to give the KUG and G3 to other Assault roles, we have recorded this and will verify.[/p]

[p]⚖️ Part 3: Matchmaking & System Functions[/p]

• [p]Matchmaking Transparency:[/p]
  • [p]Addressing concerns about "1v4" or "Newbies vs. Veterans." Our current matchmaking mechanism ensures that the difference in real players between teams at the start does not exceed 2. (However, we cannot currently guarantee against mid-game leavers or network failures).[/p]
  • [p]The game also has a "Newcomer Protection" mechanism (separate matchmaking pools).[/p]
  • [p]The suggestion to make Matchmaking Ratings (MMR) public has been recorded.[/p]
• [p]Pings & Camera Optimization:[/p]
  • [p]Current pings are hard for teammates to see? Received! We will research clearer ping effects.[/p]
  • [p]Issues with the camera getting stuck on walls and the actual bullet trajectory not matching the crosshair have been added to the optimization pool.[/p]
• [p]New Features:[/p]
  • [p]Store Convenience: The suggestion to click on currency to jump directly to the store has been recorded (we actually have a similar feature in production).[/p]
  • [p]Mouth Animation: The suggestion for character mouths to move with their voice lines during the results screen has been recorded.[/p]

[p]🚀 Part 4: Future Roadmap (Teasers)[/p]

• [p]PvE & Roguelite Mode: The PvE content you are looking forward to is moving forward! Suggestions about turning BOTs into special mob units and adding Roguelite gameplay elements align perfectly with our PvE vision.[/p]
• [p]Custom Rooms: We will further expand custom permissions (e.g., faction settings, modifying skill effects). This is currently being scheduled.[/p]
• [p]New Skins & Spending:[/p]
  • [p]Every season, there will be skins/items available for direct purchase using BEAST TAG (Free Currency).[/p]
  • [p]Day/Night Cycle and Weather Systems are in the original plan, but it will take some time before they can be implemented.[/p]

[p][/p][hr][/hr][p]Final Words:[/p][p]Thank you all for your continued encouragement and suggestions! That’s all for this week’s Wild Assault Dev Log. The world of Wild Assault is more exciting because of you. If you have more wild ideas or feedback, feel free to leave a message in the comments.
