[p]Hello Wild Ones![/p][p]We’ve picked up the signals from last week’s Wild Assault Weekly Dev Log— and wow, the speculation around the new Valiant species has been wild![/p][p]Well, the lab doors are now officially open. That’s right — the next fighter joining the battlefield is the one you’ve all been waiting for… the Raccoon![/p][p]But make no mistake: this isn’t some trash-panda cutie. According to classified field intel, here’s the profile of our newest agent:[/p][hr][/hr][p]📂 CLASSIFIED: New Agent Dossier[/p][p]Codename: Mad Scientist[/p][p]Species: Raccoon[/p][p]Height: 175 cm (Yes, he’s taller standing up than you’d think!)[/p][p]Battlefield Role: Scout — The third “all-seeing eye” on the field, joining our existing reconnaissance operatives.[/p][p]🚧 Urgent Mission: Skill Co-creation Plan[/p][p]As a Mad Scientist, his backpack is loaded with weird chemical concoctions and modified gadgets.[/p][p]As a Raccoon, his sharp senses and nimble paws aren’t just for snacking — they’re tools for domination.[/p][p]As a recon specialist, how can he use these traits to control the battlefield? We want to hear your genius ideas![/p][p]All you “game designers” out there, use the skill template below and drop your concepts in the comments:[/p]

• [p]🕵️ Passive Skill[/p]
  • [p]💡 Think: scavenging, washing habits, playing dead, climbing… What animal traits fit here?（Habit Extensible)[/p]
• [p]💥 Q Skill (Tactical Ability)[/p]
  • [p]💡 As recon, how does he use science to gather intel or control vision?[/p]
• [p]⚡ E Skill (Signature Ability)[/p]
  • [p]💡 Something that uses his agility and widely known animal behavior — what would that look like in action?[/p]
• [p]☢️ Z Skill (Ultimate Ability)[/p]
  • [p]💡 This has to be a game-changing invention! Think big and wild.[/p]

[p]We’ll read every comment carefully — your username could end up inspiring this new Valiant’s final design![/p][p]Submission deadline: January 18, 23:59:59 PT[/p][p]See you in the comments — let’s build this mad genius together! 🦝🧪[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]Combat Cat Studio[/p][p][/p][p]X：https://x.com/WildAssaultGame[/p][p]Discord：https://discord.gg/WildAssault[/p][p][/p][p][/p][h3]Follow us on social media ⤵️[/h3]

[p]Hello Wild Ones![/p][p]Thank you for the overwhelming feedback on the new Valiant Snow Leopard, bot behavior, and weapon balance this week! We’re deeply grateful for your detailed suggestions—especially the player who handwritten a full SMG parameter adjustment proposal. Much respect![/p][p]To honor your passion, this week’s log will provide an in-depth breakdown of the most-discussed topics.[/p][hr][/hr][h3]🐆 Section 1: Frontline Report – Snow Leopard & Valiant Adjustments[/h3][p]1. Q Skill (PANTHER'S LUNGE) Mobility Restrictions[/p][p]Q: Many high points in the live server are currently unclimbable, limiting Snow Leopard’s “3D mobility” advantage. Suggestion: Add a mode toggle for the Q skill.[/p][p]A: We’ve recorded the feedback on the Q skill’s targeting logic and are investigating optimizations. Certain map limits were initially set to prevent out-of-bounds exploits, but we’re reviewing data to enhance her flexibility without breaking balance.[/p][p]💡 Pro Tip: Snow Leopard Movement Tech[/p][p]Many players may not have noticed:[/p]

• [p]Climb vs. Panther Pounce:[/p]
  • [p]When facing a wall, hold the jump button while holding forward to trigger a climb; press jump briefly while holding forward to execute a “Panther Pounce.” Mastering this rhythm will make your Snow Leopard flow like the wind![/p]

[p]2. Ultimate (Z Skill) Risk-Reward Balance[/p][p]Q: High-charge levels deal great damage but leave her vulnerable. Suggest adding “damage reduction that decays with charge time, in exchange for larger AOE.”[/p][p]A: An interesting idea! The current “silence” mechanism already shifts gameplay significantly. We’re monitoring data closely and have added your risk-reward proposal to our evaluation list.[/p][p]3. Bug Fixes & Polish[/p][p]Invincibility Bug: Regarding the issue where "a bug caused Snow Leopard to become unhittable by bots," we attempted a fix in this Thursday's update. We are continuously monitoring and analyzing the situation to ensure a complete resolution.[/p][p]Basic Attack Animation: The stiff basic attack animation has been logged and is being polished by the art team.[/p][hr][/hr][h3]🤖 Section 2: Operations Center – Bot Behavior & Matchmaking[/h3][p]Bot feedback dominated this week’s reports. We acknowledge: the current AI can be “unintelligent” and at times “supernaturally” erratic.[/p][p]Q: Bots act strangely—sliding while shooting, infinite sprinting, ignoring control point rules, and spawning endlessly…[/p][p]A: We feel your pain! Good news: a “Bot System Overhaul” is underway, focusing on:[/p][p]Behavior Logic: Fixing “crouch-sliding” and other physics-defying movement, plus skill usage errors.[/p][p]Tactical Logic: Improving bots’ priority for capturing objectives and fixing “ignore one point, swarm the other” issues.[/p][p]Spawn Logic: Resolving infinite spawning within capture zones and disregarding squad deployment rules.[/p][p]Team Comp Balance: Optimizing cases of extreme comps (e.g., 11 x Hongying in one match).[/p][p]On Matchmaking: Occasional 1v4 matches occur due to extreme cases where 5 players queue simultaneously, triggering the match-start logic. This will become rarer as active player numbers rise and matchmaking logic is fine-tuned.[/p][hr][/hr][h3]⚔️ Section 3: Armory – Weapon Balance Deep Dive[/h3][p]1. Assault Role Adjustments[/p][p]Q: When will Assault (Fox, Tiger, Bull) be adjusted? Their current power levels are debated.[/p][p]A: Next Week Preview: A unified adjustment for Assault Valiants (AkaiHime/ Fox, Norman / Tiger, Ryan / Bull) is planned. Changes—whether number tweaks for AkaiHime and Norman or buffs for Ryan—are on the list. We’ll balance based on data to create a healthier Assault meta. The final plan will be in next week’s patch notes![/p][p]2. Marquez (Skunk) & Weapon Feel[/p][p]Q: Marquez feels weak, with limited weapon choices and repeated nerfs.[/p][p]A:[/p][p]Data Insight: While some feel she’s weak, backend data shows her pick rate, win rate, and score rate remain top-tier. Her skill kit offers strong offensive/defensive synergy (1+1>2).[/p][p]Adjustment Direction: We understand the “hard-to-use weapons” frustration. Last Thursday’s update increased bullet velocity globally—please retry Marquez in combat and see if she feels better.[/p][p]3. New Valiant – Lion Concept[/p][p]A: The community’s “Lion” Valiant suggestion is popular! We’ve officially noted “Savannah King Simba” on our list. 🦁[/p][p]4. Weapon Details & Realism[/p][p]Galil Magazine Capacity:[/p][p]Q: The Galil has 30 rounds ingame vs. 35 IRL.[/p][p]A: Thanks, hardcore mil-sim fans! While gameplay balance sometimes requires “adjusting” real-world specs (e.g., recently tweaking bullet velocity globally based on movement speed), we take such details seriously and will evaluate reverting to 35 rounds.[/p][p]Shotguns: Buffs are under evaluation—we’ll try to bring “shotgun meta” back soon.[/p][p]Crossbow: New bolt types and attachments are in development to make this fun weapon more viable.[/p][hr][/hr][h3]📣 Section 4: Logistics – Community & Operations[/h3][p]1. Official Live Streams[/p][p]Q: Why does the dev team rarely host streams, often relying on influencers?[/p][p]A: Haha, you caught us! Three main reasons:[/p][p]Introverted Devs: We’re more comfortable with code than cameras (seriously 😳).[/p][p]Avoiding “Final Say”: Official statements carry too much weight—we don’t want to stifle discussion on mechanics still in adjustment.[/p][p]Trusting Players: Influencers, as veteran players, offer perspectives closer to the community. We prefer collecting authentic feedback behind the scenes.[/p][p]2. Beast Bone Recycling Center (Gacha) Duplicates[/p][p]Q: Receiving duplicate items in the Recycling Center?[/p][p]A: This was a bug, now fixed! The system is meant to reward active players (with pity mechanics), not frustrate them. A 5-pull compensation was issued in yesterday’s update—please check your mail![/p][p]3. Future Content Teaser[/p][p]New Skin: Fans of Erwin—a new skin blending “cute and sexy” is coming soon! A golden-tier Bear skin is also in the works.[/p][p]New Mode: PVE mode is in development. We’ll release a demo for core testers ASAP.[/p][p]New Valiant Suggestion: The “Lion” concept is noted![/p][hr][/hr][h3]🎯 Final Words[/h3][p]Each Q&A session is a chance for us to identify shortcomings and refine our direction. Whether it’s our “socially anxious” designers or community managers facing pressure on the frontlines, our goal remains the same: As long as you keep playing, we’ll keep improving. Even progress that feels slow will lead to great results if we’re moving forward together.[/p][p][/p][p]That’s all for this week’s Wild Assault Weekly Dev Log.

[p]Hello Wild Ones,[/p][p][/p][p]We will be performing a live update at 02:00 AM PST on January 8. Ongoing matches will not be affected during the update, but matchmaking will be temporarily unavailable. Please exit the game, update your game client via Steam, and then relaunch the game.[/p][p][/p][h3]▌🔥 Core Combat Adjustments: Increased Bullet Velocity Across the Board[/h3][p]To deliver a more responsive and precise shooting experience, we have significantly increased the bullet velocity of most primary weapons. This reduces lead distance in medium-to-long-range engagements and improves overall accuracy.[/p]

[h3]▌⚖️ Hero Balance Changes[/h3]

• [p]❄️ Snow Leopard – Anthea[/p]
  • [p]Weapon Adjustment: Default primary weapon changed from PPSH-45 to SMG5.[/p]
  • [p]Developer's Note: We've observed that Anthea, when equipped with the PPSH-45, exhibited excessive dominance in close-quarters combat by leveraging her kit's strengths. This adjustment aims to balance her close-range effectiveness while maintaining her flexibility.[/p]
• [p]Preview: Next week’s update will include optimizations for the Assault class.[/p]

[h3]▌🎮 Controller-Specific Optimizations[/h3][p]Based on community feedback, we’ve implemented the following improvements:[/p]

• [p]Added camera turn acceleration for smoother turning and target tracking.[/p]
• [p]Optimized default controller sensitivity settings for better usability.[/p]
• [p]Increased the detection threshold for mouse/controller switching to resolve an issue where the virtual cursor flickered near screen edges.[/p]

[h3]▌✨ System & Event Updates[/h3]

• [p]Battle Pass Optimization: Added new daily task types for a more varied leveling experience.[/p]
• [p]New Badge: Introduced the \[Tiger Head Badge]—participate in official social media events for a chance to earn this exclusive badge![/p][p][/p]

[h3]▌🔧 Bug Fixes[/h3]

• [p]Fixed display issues caused by excessively long text in the Commissary interface.[/p]
• [p]Corrected localization errors related to Combat Zone Supply buff refresh descriptions.[/p]
• [p]Fixed an issue where the Commissary lottery probability display did not properly account for items already owned by the player.[/p]
