The April Content Patch Update

Thursday, April 10, 2008 —

We wanted to give everyone a sneak peak at this month's content update, which we hope will be coming to Exteel shortly after testing.

Weapon Classification Changes
The various classes of weapons in Exteel are being altered to be more clear for players (and us). The most common, lowest tier weapons will keep the -C identifier. The middle tier will carry the -B identifier and we're eliminating the (D) mark completely. The top tier of weapons will use the -A identifier; previously these did not have any letter at the end of the name.


New Weapons and Changes
We've added 9 -A grade (top tier) NCcoin weapons, including the Particle Blade, Force Shield, Zeus Persuader, Polymer Array, and Beam Spitter. Two -B grade NCcoins will also be added (Apogee, Siege Caster).


By the way, the Zeus Persuader-B (formerly (D)) is getting a near 30% damage reduction.


New Skills and Other Changes
Some of the skill nonmenclature is changing as well. We've removed the I and II designations (which mainly differentiate the rifle skills from the shotgun skills) and instead added (R) or (S) to the end of the skill name, which designates whether it's a rifle or shotgun skill respectively. So Sweating Bullets(R) refers to the rifle skill, and Sweating Bullets(S) refers to the shotgun version. This will apply to Trigger Slice, Gun Slayer, Backbreaker, Honcho, and Sweating Bullets.


Speaking of which, the new skills added are: Sweating Bullets(R) (yes!!), Superior Gun Slayer(R), Superior Honcho(R) and Superior Shine Break (do cannons even need another skill?).


CTF Goodies
No we haven't made any gameplay changes just yet. We have added three maps for CTF play: Face Off, Capital Colony, and Underground City.
