Unknown Worlds Entertainment ha rilasciato una nuova patch, la 307, per Natural Selection 2. Tale patch introduce diversi fix e bilanciamenti al gameplay discussi tramite Discord con la comunità. Alcune dipendenze con Awesomium sono state rimosse, il che dovrebbe aiutare con la stabilità del gioco e ridurre i memory leak, è stato inoltre annunciato che HIVE 2.0 verrà rilasciato in parallelo con l'esistente HIVE durante la prossima settimana usando le estensioni, questo permetterà agli sviluppatori di raccogliere sufficienti dati dal matchmaking per dare gli ultimi tocchi prima di rimuovere la versione precedente.
Di seguito il changelog completo:

Codice: Seleziona tutto

Tweaks / Improvements

    Skulk Changes
        Reverted HP to 70/10 (was 85/10)
        Increased base ground speed to 7.25 to match wall walking speed (was 7.0)
        Increased non-celerity wall jump force to 6.4 to match the celerity force (was 5.2)
        Increased sneak speed to be 66% of max speed (was 50%)
        Made wall jump noises more responsive to your speed to provide better feedback

Although we felt that increasing the Skulk base HP was a necessary step to restore the balance, we agree with the community’s sentiment that it didn’t improve the feel for either side. Our aim going forward is to make it so Skulks feel effective, even while their small health pool can feel punishing. These new changes in conjunction with the melee box increase should make Skulks feel a little bit more maneuverable and able to get a kill, especially during the early game and when planning an ambush.

    Removed the Twitter ticker since it is not used much
    Added team say console command `tsay` (Thanks Keats!)
    Replaced HTML renderer to use Steam APIs instead of Awesomium
        Videos will now play on Linux!

    Fixed a script issue occurring on ns2_caged caused by achievement handling

        Atrium – Depth of arched pillars increased, tree added and its tube, raised platform at back of summit added console for additional ground cover, fences now solid.
        Datacore – New pillar added to give partial LOS block on TechPoint when approaching from Pipe Junction

    Model Compiler – Fixed a bug that would cause FBX models to have cameras incorrectly oriented.
    Model Compiler – Added a directive to the model compiler “material_path_replace”.  Takes an input string, and replaces all occurrences of it with the output string.  Useful for maintaining proper Maya workflow/naming conventions.
