Battlerite Royale Patch 0.1.1

Posted on by

We’ve got a few bug fixes, a few gameplay changes, and a couple balance changes in this first patch to Battlerite Royale. For more on our plan for Battlerite Royale Early Access, check out the Dev Update we posted yesterday. There will be a very short downtime to receive this patch, requiring you to quit the game and download the changes. Follow us on Twitter or Discord to hear when the patch will be live.

General Updates

Bug Fixes
  • AFK players no longer receive a kill when marked by AFK Detection
  • Fixed a camera shake that could occur when changing observed player
  • Minimap should no longer lag when players are jumping off the Storm Wyvern, and player icons on minimap should no longer lag either
Audio
  • Volume and panning of enemy death sound now depends on location, being quieter if the death is further away
  • Werebear now has voiceover
Matchmaking and Rating Changes
  • Lower placement now yields a lower placement score
    • This will make it much harder to reach higher leagues
    • Players currently in higher leagues will have a harder time maintaining their rating
  • Rating loss protection for top placements added
    • Placing first now prevents you from losing rating, even if your match rating is lower than your league rating
    • Placing second reducing the rating loss by 50%
  • Matchmaking has been tweaked to create more balanced matches, this may result in increased matchmaking queues
Leaderboards

In Patch 1.8 we added more data to a Team composition and that has resulted in a bug for Team Champion compositions. Unfortunately this means to fix it we have to reset the Team Champion composition data, which means that it will not be accurate data for the rest of the Season in Arena or Royale until we may reset the leaderboards in the next Season. For now, we are hiding the percentages on champion composition as it may be very low percentages.

Gameplay Updates

We will be testing out some changes that will affect primarily early game as we’re seeing a lot of players jumping into the same area. We’ve done some changes that should allow players to spread out a bit more across the map while also making the initial combat situations a bit more interesting and complete by allowing players to get hold of an additional early game ability.

Vendors and Consumables
  • Starting Gold increased from 100 to 160
    • Players can now afford to purchase two starting abilities
  • Added one additional recommended ability per champion
  • Enemies now always drops a health potion on death
  • Vendors now sells common (green) abilities instead of rare (blue) to keep vendor consistency and allow players to fill empty slots for a bit cheaper
Skydive
  • Players now spawn on two different Storm Wyverns flying across the map, with players split evenly between the two
Map Objects
  • Jumppad cooldown increased from 30s to 60s
