0.0.109 Spectacular

General
  • Spectator Mode added!
  • Players will now automatically be set to spectator on entering an online match.
  • Spectator Free Cam will slowly be added to each map. It is currently active on Chamber so give us feedback!
  • Ultimates will now slowly charge throughout the match by doing damage and healing. This is an early implementation of this system and we will be developing and balancing it further.
  • Currently the charge will reset on death - this is not finalised and it will likely persist across lives.
  • Hitting the new Brimstone Meteor will give plays 10% charge per hit. The last hitting brawler will receive max ultimate charge.
  • Lobby UI updates including lobby chat window fix.
  • Players will no longer gain full lives when rejoining a match after they have disconnected.
  • Overhealing will no longer count towards score.

0.0.108.2 - Chamber

General
  • Teams now have names and will no longer be called “Red” and “Blue” Teams in online games. (This is still a work in progress and some UI elements are still incorrectly coloured).
  • Added a Return to Lobby button to the in game menu, allowing the server to return to the lobby. This is a temporary fix until in game voting is enabled.
