Patch Notes 4/6/2017

[freshour]

Awesome on the range increase in T1, that should make it a lot better. I was curious what you guys thought of a 5-10 second grace period of leaving the BO range? Say someone tries to attack it and you engage them, rather than losing the BO, if you had 5-10 seconds to get back in range, it will encourage going off it a smidge to get a kill rather than "Nuh Uh!!!!! I ain't movin!"

If that sounds stupid, I apologize lol. I only want this to be the best - Great work so far!

I think you start to realize what is the purpose of this system and the willingly perverse side of it .

I'm not for this point Freshour cause at a moment players have to make choices + grace period or increasing range is quite the same thing in the end.

Consider BOs like mines and players as miners (resource collection). You must choose : push your wagon or move around. Wagon won't work alone (obvious). . There is no point to stay under a BO when enemies are around (my opinion).
Attacked wagons/miners can't produce (obvious).
Stopping production is a loss and restarting production takes time. (obvious)

I think not losing definitively your precious BO is sufficiently encouraging.

Thanks a lot for that video and feedback ! And thanks everyone !

It really seems people split in the lakes, move all around, there are skirmishes and bigger fights, not only on BOs. And not only zerg vs zerg or zerg vs zerged. That's great

We plan on small improvements next weeks, and then... Maybe scale for another tier !

EDIT : I apologize for the bugs we encounter(ed), especially the first day. There are some remaining but fixes will come.

A good counter point, to that I say touche sir.
