Wild Assault News

[p]Hello Wild Ones![/p][p]This week, we received a massive amount of feedback regarding the new version content, hero balance, and future plans for Season 4. Thank you for the detailed suggestions provided in the surveys and community channels (especially the in-depth evaluations on the AI Bots, which were extremely valuable!).[/p][p]Below is a summary of and responses to the key feedback for this period:[/p][hr][/hr][h3]🎯 Key Responses: Valiants & Balance[/h3][p]Q1：Can the targeting icon for Snow Leopard's (Anthea) Q ability grappling hook be optimized? Hope it can be a persistent reticle like in Apex, making it easier to judge distance.[/p]

[p]Reply: Noted! This suggestion is already in our backlog.
We plan to implement this as a configurable "Setting" allowing players to switch based on their preference, ensuring both performance and catering to different playstyles.[/p]

[p]Q2：When using Snow Leopard's Q ability at maximum range, there's a hit effect but the pull doesn't occur?[/p]

[p]Reply: This is a known issue. We have identified the cause and are working on a fix. Please allow the tech team some time. Additionally, regarding the feedback about Snow Leopard's head fur being too thick, we are also evaluating optimization effects.[/p]

[p]Q3：Concerns about the content volume of S3 and the release of new heroes. Will new heroes still be released semi-annually in the future (2026)?[/p]

[p]Reply: Rest assured, we are committed to maintaining the pace of "releasing one new hero every six months." The content adjustments in Season 3 are for longer-term planning, and we are working hard to coordinate production capacity[/p]

[p]Q4：AI Bots have many issues (e.g., dynamic balance失调, cross-team deployment, wallhacks, overly accurate aim), leading to a poor experience.[/p]

[p]Reply: Thank you for the detailed list of bot issues compiled by our dedicated players!
We will investigate and adjust each point. For example, the issue of "interrupting rescues" has been fixed and will be updated in Season 4. Other abnormal bot behaviors are also being addressed, and bot performance will see significant improvements in Season 4.[/p]

[hr][/hr][h3]🎁 Benefits & System Optimizations[/h3][p]Q5：Can the custom room card requirement be removed? Hope to create rooms without limits.[/p]

[p]Reply: Removed? Consider it done!
To make it easier for squads to practice and friends to play casually, we have decided to remove the custom room card limit. Furthermore, Season 4 custom rooms will also grant "Battle Pass EXP" (with a daily cap). Combined with the existing Hero/Weapon Proficiency, you can gain rewards even in custom matches.[/p]

[p]Q6：Will there be another chance to obtain missed free skins and cards in the future?[/p]

[p]Reply: Yes! Plans are finalized. Please stay tuned for the new systems in Season 4, where you can acquire past free event cosmetics through new means.[/p]

[p]Q7：Feedback on Hong Ying's "Candy Sprite" Christmas skin (suggestions include adding back the ears, optimizing the hat, etc.).[/p]

[p]Reply: We've received your feedback regarding Hong Ying's new skin, including the "ears," "hat style," and "outfit complexity."
The initial design hid the ears to distinguish it from Hong Ying's other skins and fit the winter theme. Regarding requests to "add back the ears" or "change the hair accessory," we are comprehensively evaluating and will consider optimizations based on the final consensus.[/p]

[hr][/hr][h3]🛠️ Gameplay & Experience Optimizations[/h3][p]Q8：Any plans to add support score skills? Or optimize medic/support scoring?[/p]

[p]Reply: We have previously optimized score gains for some Support and Specialist skills. The issue of "Bunny's" medic score being too low has been recorded and is under evaluation. If you have specific support skill design suggestions, feel free to provide feedback![/p]

[p]Q9：Will large-scale battlefields have vehicles? When is First-Person View (FPV) coming?[/p]

[p]Reply: Vehicles: There are currently no plans to directly add them to the current large-scale battle mode, but there are other vehicle-related plans for the future.
First-Person View (FPV): The game's core mechanics (animations, models, camera) are built around Third-Person View (TPV). Developing a full FPV experience is not feasible in the short term. We appreciate your understanding.[/p]

[p]Q10：Balance issues for specific Valiants (Panda's rocket launcher damage, Zhenshan's E skill hit registration, etc.).[/p]

[p]Reply: Zhenshan (Panda): Feedback regarding the rocket launcher's splash damage being too high is under evaluation.
Ryan (Bull): The issue where the E skill knocks down a leaping Snow Leopard is a bug and is being fixed.
Uly (Meerkat): The overly spammy voice lines when the RC car hits multiple players will be checked and the playback logic optimized.[/p]

[p]Q11：Want more bold, stylish, and good-looking male Beastman hero skins![/p]

[p]Reply: Feedback received! We'll arrange it![/p]

[hr][/hr][p]Furthermore, in this week's update, we also made some adjustments to Snow Leopard Anthea. After trying them out, if you have any issues, please continue to provide feedback via surveys and social media. We will respond promptly.[/p][p][/p][p]That's all for this week's Wild Assault Dev Log. Thank you once again for your support and understanding. Season 4 is arriving soon, packed with content updates and system optimizations.

[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]

[hr][/hr][p]Final Words:[/p][p]That’s all for this week’s Wild Assault Dev Log. Thank you for your ongoing companionship and patience. The world of Wild Assault is more vibrant because of you.
