STEAM SUMMER SALE JUST STARTED...
...and how could you possibly enjoy summer better than with a fresh bottle of TOXIKK at a 40% Summer discount? Have a sip of our new and delicious build 1.1.7 for only 8.99 now!
Build 1.1.7 brings yet again many features, changes and fixes: For example FREE EDITION players get the chance to unlock the game's maps significantly faster (i.e. with less MXP) than in previous builds. How fast you ask? Hop over to http://toxikk.com/guide/#unlocks for a table of how much MXP is required to unlock stuff. If you already played a good portion of the FREE EDITION, chances are you'll find NEW MAPS to play right now.
Let's take a look at what build 1.1.7 introduces in detail:
01 - FEATURE: TWO CONTRACT MISSIONS FOR FREE EDITION PLAYERS
FREE EDITION players have access to the first 2 Contract missions as "tutorial" missions now.
02 - FEATURE: TUTORIAL IMPROVEMENTS
The first tutorial mission (First Impact) now comes with some neat improvements to make it even more accessible for new players:
2.1 IN-GAME VIDEOS
Videos on the wall demonstrate how a move is done
2.2 IMPROVED HELP SIGNS
The big help signs on the walls were improved to make the tutorial less difficult for new players.
2.3 DODGING EXPLAINED
In the area, where enemies appear (First Impact) a sign was added that explains the use of dodging and how it's done to avoid enemy fire. The enemy soldiers appearing now fire at you (rather than being just blind targets).
03 - IMPROVED HELP SECTION
We added a Player's Guide to our website that should help new players find their way around easier. Check it out at http://toxikk.com/guide. If you have any suggestions for new videos to add to that section, please let us know in our Steam forum.
04 - CHANGE: MAP UNLOCKS
Free players can unlock new maps significantly faster now. Check out the details at: http://toxikk.com/map-unlocks/
05 - UNLOCK BUTTON ADDED TO MAIN MENU
The main menu now has a button that directly leads you to the tables of available unlocks, to make the reward system more transparent. http://toxikk.com/guide/#unlocks
06 - MATCHMAKING IMPROVEMENTS
We did some changes and improvements to the matchmaking system that primarily benefit FREE EDITION players (as they don't have access to an in-game server browser)
6.1 FEATURE - REJECT SERVERS
Players who join matches via QuickJoin (e.g. all FREE EDITION players) now have the option to reject suggested matches, if they don't like a suggested server. They will then be offered another server.
6.2 MORE SC 1-2 SERVERS
There are two SC1-2 servers per region to provide better puppy protection for new players.
6.3 HIGHLIGHTING IMPORTANT INFO
Most relevant interaction info is now blinking in the lower-left of the screen.
07 - FIX: DIRECTIONAL HIT INDICATORS
The onscreen directional damage indicators are now only shown if the damage is actually coming from a specific direction. So, environment-damage (e.g. a bath in acid) is no longer indicated as directional damage. However, the bloodscreen effect is still in effect... (sooooo reeeeeaaaalll!).
08 - FIX: BUG THAT PREVENTS YOU FROM LEAVING A MATCH
If a server has no spectator slots configured (or spectator slots are all occupied) you couldn't leave a match. This was fixed.
09 - FIX: SQUAD SURVIVAL MUSIC FIX
The in-game music stopped after a round was played in multi-player mode. This was fixed.
10 - FIX: UNSETUP.EXE NOW SIGNED
UnSetup.exe now shows a valid CERTIFICATE to avoid a the "A REFERRRAL WAS RETURNED FROM THE SERVER” error that appeared under certain conditions.
