The tenth update since the demo launch is live, and it gives you something to say in a match: a new chat wheel, with 16 hero voice lines and 8 3D emotes. Bots sometimes answer back, and keybinds can now use more mouse buttons.
Hold the middle mouse button in a match, point at a slot and let go to send an emote or a voice line to everyone in the game. Let go in the middle to close the wheel without sending anything.
16 hero voice lines, four for each hero, each spoken in its hero's voice, whichever hero you play
8 3D emotes: Laugh, Cry, Angry, Taunt, Cheer, Hype, Thumbs up and Love
Choose what each slot holds and how many slots the wheel has, from 4 to 16, in the new Chat wheel tab in Settings. Its key is under Controls
Voice lines have their own volume setting under Sound, and its speaker button mutes them while their text still shows
You can send up to 2 voice lines every 5 seconds
One line from each hero, to start with: Lucas's "Skill issue.", Patrius's "Well fought, champion.", Seraphina's "Aww. Do you need a healer?" and Avaris's "Impressive… for a mortal."
Bots now sometimes answer your chat wheel messages with an emote that fits: a thumbs up for a "Well fought", and for a taunt a laugh or an angry face, depending on who is ahead. The bot you are fighting answers most often. Bots never speak first, and spamming the wheel gets you one answer, not a flood.
Keybinds can now use the middle mouse button and mouse buttons 4 and 5
A line you would like your hero to say, a bot that answers out of turn, a bug: tell us on Discord.
If you are enjoying the demo, add Ascend and Fall to your wishlist to hear the moment the full game launches.
See you in the Arena.
