Here’s an invitation you to show off how and why you fly! We are looking for videos in which you talk about your favorite tactics, loadouts, and moments in Guns of Icarus Online, as well as show off how you and your crew fly in real matches. With your submissions, we will be creating a short documentary for the world to see!
We are looking for 2 videos – a short interview and a gameplay footage montage.

With this upcoming build, we are focusing on a few new features—improved tutorial elements, AFK detection, and commendation system—to help players learn and play better together. While our motivation is as always based on your feedback, we just want to go over how these features work and how we arrived at the decisions we made.

We’ll be writing quite a few posts regarding some coming changes. Lots of fun stuff in store. One of the big items is a balance change. Medium Flak, Field Gun, Explosive vs. Armor, Fire, other weapons. There are a lot of things going on. However, what I’d like to talk about is our stance on design changes and basically how we go about creating the game. Well, this is more of my own approach.
This was all sparked by a forum on our forum. Click after the jump to read on…
The Fjords have been claimed by the Gentlemen!
Congratulations not only to the Gentlemen, but also their stiff competition. We had many great contenders: Zill’s Merry Men took home second, The Paddling third, and SMAC fourth.
If you have four hours to spare and missed the tournament you should watch QWERTY’s stream where you can see some of the best crews in the game facing off against each other. We’ll be posting some of the highlights later on in the week so keep your eyes peeled.

Season 4’s top bounty hunter will win their choice between the Male Top Hat and the Female Plumed Tricorn and the most dangerous bounty will win their choice of the female Bandit Mask or the male Gas Mask.

The sale is over and we’d like to thank everyone for supporting Guns of Icarus. Fun fact there are now 248 players sporting a top hat.
We also patched to squash a bug and fix the Lumberjack. There was a crash at start up bug that some players ran into that has been fixed.
To maintain the Hellhound Heavy Twin Carronade’s effective at destroying balloons at close range, we’ve implemented something called arming time that has been added to the Lumberjack. The Lumberjack will only deal its direct hit damage (shatter) if it hits something before its arming time is reached. Once arming time has been reached, it will deal both is direct hit and AoE (flechette) damages and thus deal massive damage to the balloon.
