PVKII 0.5.2.0 Update Released

Were back with another update containing polish and fixes all around. This patch is significant in that it brings the base game balance close to finalization. Player feedback has been appreciated, it helped us make this patch even better. Let us know what you think, hotfixes will be pushed if necessary. With that said, we hope to see you again next time for a long-awaited Major Update Gameplay Changes: General

Increased Dodge-Roll cooldown (3s->4s)

Added new attack direction indicators that show attack/parry weight

Added a yellow-colored charge indicator for melee attacks that arent fully charged but are too heavy to perfect parry

Added attack indicators to Shield-Bashes and Counter-Attacks

Adjusted head hitboxes to be more model accurate; headshots are now less forgiving

Added cl_ranged_highlight_own to Game Settings; highlights your own projectile trails

Added cl_crosshair_notaimed to Game Settings; hides crosshairs when not aiming

Added falling sound (can be disabled with cl_fallsound)

Moved Charge Meter Style from HUD to Game tab in Game Settings

Added item_food_small, an orange that instantly gives 7 health and over-heal. This is not used in any official maps, but can be used by mappers

Jumping/Falling no longer increases spread

Getting shot by Flintlock, the Flatbow, or the Crossbow Pistol no longer staggers your movement

Normalized the block speed of heavy weapons to align with all other melee weapons

Friendly fire now shows damage dealt Server Customization CVars

Added mp_noknockback, 0 by default. Disables knockback.

Added mp_noparrystun, 0 by default. 1 disables parry/block breaker stuns, 2 reduces.

Added mp_fixedspread, 1 by default. Disables random spread in favor of fixed patterns.

Added mp_ff_ok, 0 by default. Disables friendly fire penalties. Combo System Changes

Combo damage bonus removed (attack speed bonus remains)

Increased Finisher damage; (10%->12%) at 2x, (15%->23%) at 3x, and (20%->35%) at 4x Combo increasing both attack speed and damage was a bit much. Instead, we've shifted some of that extra damage to Combo Finishers to make them more desirable and impactful. Shields

Reworked Shield-Bash follow-ups, now grants 50% charge, which can be charged further

Time to holster/draw shields halved (ConVar mp_default_shieldholstertime)

Shield bashing a blocking player now mini-stuns them, rather than rendering them inactionable for a full second

All shields now have 25% damage resistance against all ranged weapons Previously, landing a Shield-Bash granted you a free fully-charged attack that, despite appearances, could be parried. While this was an oversight, we decided to lean into it instead. Now you gain an attack that is half charged, which gives you the quick but risky option to use it immediately, or the option to charge it completely to do more damage and avoid being parried. This new system has the added bonus of being compatible with the Combo System, and ultimately makes shield combat satisfyingly unpredictable. Additionally, we gave shields a ranged attack resistance so that they can remain valuable defensive tools against ranged attackers without making them oppressive in melee combat. Class Changes: Skirmisher:

Reduced max loaded Flintlocks (6->4)

Increased starting Flintlock reserve ammo (0->2)

Reduced aimed Flintlock spread (7.5->7.25)

Powderkeg can be prematurely detonated by allies if friendly fire is enabled Captain:

Blunderbuss now has a fixed spread pattern with random rotation Sharpshooter:

Fancy Dagger range reverted to 45; thrusts now have 48 range Berserker:

HP buff from Special no longer decays

Fixed damage display not working during Special Heavy Knight:

Reduced Arming Sword range (60->55) Archer:

Reduced max Longbow ammo (30->20)

Reduced starting Longbow ammo (20->15)

Reduced Longbow ammo gained from pickups (15->10) Man at Arms:

Pirates

Skirmisher: A light-footed scallywag who can blow enemies away with his gunpowder-packed keg.
Captain: Brandishes a peg-leg, hook, and an attack parrot, which will seek out enemies and peck them to death!
Sharpshooter: A Spanish sweet-talker who snipes his enemies from a safe distance, or cuts them to pieces with his butter knife.

Vikings

Berserker: A shirtless and battle-crazed warrior capable of mowing enemies down with his dual-wielded weapons and giant axe.
Huscarl: Throwing axes, a two-handed battle axe, and sword/shield combo allow this warrior to take on the toughest enemies.
Gestir: A well-seasoned master of the spear and javelins who has no problem skewering his enemies either up close or from a distance.

Knights

Heavy Knights: Wearing a full suit of armor, this battle tank can cut his foes in half with his great sword.
Archer: There is no match for a skilled archer with a quiver full of arrows. He sometimes reigns fire down upon his enemies.
Man-at-Arms: A Frenchman with a sense of humor. He brandishes a halberd, mace & buckler, and his fart special will leave enemies dazed and confused.

Game Modes

Booty

Booty is a unique version of Capture the Flag. Players fight each other for treasure chests filled with gold and jewels. Bring chests back to your base and hold onto them to win the game.

Territory

Territory is a king of the hill style game mode, where teams fight for territories throughout the map. Hold onto the territories for as long as you can to win the game.

Trinket Wars

Trinket Wars is the caffeinated version of Team Deathmatch. Teams must gain control of their trinkets, and then use the power of their trinket to destroy their enemies.

Last Team Standing

Last Team Standing is exactly what the name suggests - all three teams square off, fighting to the death. The last team alive wins the round.

Objective Push

This game mode can range from a simple break-in and destroy your opponents' bases, to a more advanced sequence of map-specific objectives. The only limit is the mapper's imagination!

Team Deathmatch

Team Deathmatch is a fight for dominance. Teams square off against one another to see who can rack up the most kills. Like the other game modes, you should stick together to achieve victory!
