Character Animation Optimization
The optimization of the character animation timeline is still underway so there may still be some jank in certain animations. This means that certain armors in certain poses may not look right. In some cases, it might be better to change the armor rather than the animation, but this will be handled in time. Many animations have been consolidated, cleaned up, and shortened (especially the hit/block animations) to improve the flow of battle. Despite all the work already done, with over 8000 total frames, there's still plenty of room for improvements in the future. Tags: Nightwraith |

New Achievement
The Independence Day 6 Achievement has been added to the seasonal section of the achievement shop.
Juggernaut Battle Cap
To combat the exploitation by botters, as of this update we've implemented a cap on Juggernaut wins. After 300 Juggernaut wins, Juggernaut battles will stop offering credits, experience, war drops, and PvP drops. This was done to remove the incentive to use bots accumulate way more wins than any human could possibly achieve. Tags: Nightwraith |
