Multiplayer Beta Update

Hello friends,

We have a new multiplayer beta update available for you guys with a few major changes. Hopefully this multiplayer version will feel more complete and balanced.

Multiplayer Chat Engine

You now can chat in lobby as well as in game with your opponent. It should provide a more engaging experience and facilitate things like rematch and side selection. Please note that there is not sensor mechanisms for now so please be polite until we sensor you :).

Risks Factors/Lifestyles Limit

Both sides now have a limit of 6 Risk Factors or Lifestyles they can purchase for the entire match length. This limit has been put in place to counter Lifestyles/Risk Factors shopping spree that would lead to long and boring games.

Bio Points stacking Limit

Just like playing in campaigns, you can stack no more than 35 Bio Points before the resources system will stop spawning new resources.

Recovery speed and Overdrive mode

To achieve a 50%/50% win rate for both sides we have slightly increased the basal recovery speed. Furthermore, in the event where all diseases have been treated (no more symptoms), the Recovery will enter “Overdrive” mode and it will increase very fast. Death players must ensure their victims is sick at all time and cannot stay idle for too long.

Let us know what you think about theses changes and let us know if you think we are missing out on something!
