Saudações, Metal Gladiators!

O Metal League 9 tá rolando e você ainda tem muitas chances de ganhar! O quanto antes você se juntar ao torneio, mais preparado seu time estará! E também vocês automaticamente estarão participando do Sorteio Semanal!

Com as ligas Iniciante e Pro, não importa qual seja o seu nível no jogo, você participará de uma competição justa. A próxima etapa é A ÚLTIMA CLASSIFICATÓRIA DO INICIANTE, e penúltima classificatória do Pro. E acontece Sábado, 18 de Julho das 10h às 13h BRT no servidor Europeu, e das 13h às 16h BRT no servidor do Brasil (Sul Americano), e você pode jogar nos dois servidores!

Aqui neste post você encontra tudo o que precisa saber sobre esta edição do Metal League.

Iniciante América do Sul
Última etapa do Iniciante semana que vem. Já temos Malware classificada e Exodia traders muito bem colocada. Qualquer time pode ganhar a Etapa 3 e garantir uma vaga, mas a briga tá bem disputada pelas outras duas posições.


Iniciante Europa
Última etapa do Iniciante semana que vem. Heavy Metal M8s já garantiu a classificação em primeiro. Até agora temos 4 times participantes e todos estariam indo para os playoffs. Está super aberto e também ainda há chances de qualquer um chegar e pegar a vaga.


Pro América do Sul
Tivemos o ajuste do Matchmaking e isso fez com que a classificação ficasse muito equilibrada. A diferença de pontos entre os times do top 10 nunca foi tão proporcional antes. Os dois últimos finalistas (Roadkill e Hati Blue) garantiram sua vaga nos Playoffs e estão sendo seguidos de perto pelas três Rumerus na classificação geral. A briga por essas vagas restantes está bem embolada e promete ser emocionante.


Pro Europa
Depois da Skade ter ganhado a Etapa 1, agora foi a vez da MS. Anarchists garantir a classificação. ZXC123 ficou em segundo nas duas etapas até aqui e está perto. A briga pela última vaga deste Playoff de 4 times parece que vai ficar disputada entre Bad Boys e SenslessMassacre, mas como temos duas etapas ainda muita coisa pode acontecer.


Então, se ainda não possui um time, não se preocupe, vá ao Buscador de Membros de Time para encontrar jogadores que, assim como você, estão querendo participar do Metal League!

Suponho que você já é membro do nosso servidor do Discord, certo? Não??? Então, o que você está esperando? Nossa comunidade tá cheia de pessoas legais que te ajudarão na sua jornada de competidor de Heavy Metal Machines!

Nos vemos nas Arenas!

Hello, Metal Gladiators

Maintenance is scheduled for July 14th, from 12:00 to 16:00 (UTC+1), to apply an update that adds full support to the gamepad, navigation improvements, bug fixes and more.

• After this version, all in-game menus will have full support for navigating using gamepads.

OBS: For this version, custom commands/controls of all accounts will be restored to their default. Remember to set them up again before entering a match.


[h2]General[/h2]

• The “ESC” key now has the function of coming back to the previous screen during navigation.
  
• When certain windows get opened, the “ESC” key can be used to cancel or close them automatically. This is not applicable to all windows.
  
• In the main menu, the “ESC” key will have the function of opening the Options screen.

[h2]Pausing Matches[/h2]

[h2]Metal Pass[/h2]

• The “Metal Pass” main menu interface was slightly modified, to improve the understanding of the information provided.

[h2]Match Loading Screen[/h2]

• The controls shown in the loading screen now change dynamically, according to the commands assigned to each function.

[h2]Inventory[/h2]

• The visualization of Models has been improved, showing the available Models of a character one at a time.
  
• To change characters, you can use the menu above the Model display (upper part of the screen).
  

[h2]Spectator Screen Update[/h2]
The Spectator screen was updated to provide more information about the matches.


[h2]Update Button[/h2]

• The visuals of the update button, throughout the game, were altered to include its name and icon.
  

• The maximum number of Emotes that can be equipped was changed to 4.
  
• The central slot will no longer be used, and the Emotes that were equipped on that spot will be removed.

• Fixed a bug that made some elements appear incorrectly on the screen upon changing the game’s resolution.
  
• Fixed some navigation usability issues in some of the menus of the game.
  
• Fixed some problems with some text elements in the Metal League interface.
  
• Several texts in multiple languages have been adjusted and/or fixed.
  
• Fixed the behavior of hovering the mouse on the Friend’s contact list.
  
• Fixed a bug in Black Lotus’ Weapon 2, where in some situations, the cooldown could be accelerated twice as much as it should upon reflecting an enemy’s weapon.
  
• The name of the Emotes in the Inventory is now shown next to the Emote Selection Wheel.

• Some minor issues with the gamepad navigation can be noticed in the Metal League menu. They will be fixed in a future update.
  
• Pressing Alt+Tab while using a gamepad can sometimes make the mouse cursor visible in the center of the screen.
  
• Some navigation issues can be noticed upon changing menus too quickly using a gamepad. They will be fixed in a future update.
  
• During a match, the action commands/controls (weapons, for example) are not blocked upon opening the F1 menu.
