Guns of Icarus Online Skirmish Mode (1.3.2)
(http://gunsoficarus.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/dyes.jpg)
Content
- Added a new gun, the armor-melting Hades Light Cannon, that deals fire and piercing damage.
- 3 new omni-class costumes
- Added various Unlockable Achievement Challenges: guns & ship stats, map lore, and more to come in the future. Check them out in the Books section (underneath the Progress button)
- New map! 4v4 Deathmatch, Red Sepulcher (based off of King of Flayed Hills)
Features
- Added the ability to dye costumes! Each costume can take up to two dye colors (primary and secondary) that affect different areas. Dyes can be purchased through the store or unlocked with levels. Each dye is consumable so take care when adding that extra flair to your costumes! You can even buy multiple copies of the same costume if you want to keep different colored sets around!
- The store now has a shopping cart. Now you can check out many items at once in one Steam transaction. Makin’ it easier to buy all the things!
- Added UI “tutorial” tooltips for first-time users (can be disabled in Options). Will be active when the patch is downloaded so for veterans, feel free to disable.
- Added the ability to store up to three pre-made loadouts for each class or ship. All loadouts already have items so take a look at potential metas with the weapons and features! Or, customize your own and switch between them with ease between matches.
- Novice matches now limit ships and usable loadouts to ensure ease of learning and the most straightforward loadouts. Low-level players are still able to play normal, unrestricted matches as well.
- Changed hit indicators: size now indicates only “weak” or “strong” hits, determined by damage multipliers vs the kind of part hit. A red color indicates hits to the unarmored hull. A large indicator means the weapon is strong against that part, small means the opposite. Filled in indicator are your shots while an outlined indicator are shots made by friendlies.
- All hat or goggle items are unisex and can be worn by each gender
- You can view others’ current skill loadout in match lobby.
- You can view anyone’s public information, as well as their costumes in each class, from the player popup.
- Added a “Leave Count” for each user, incremented when that user leaves a match before it finishes (and does not reconnect). Leave count is displayed on your public profile.
- New animated gun reticles.
- Added first person equipment switching animation.
- Added edge of map effects.
- Bounty Hunting added. Sign up in-game to be hunted by the Guns of Icarus community and earn a special badge for being the most dangerous bounty or top bounty hunter.

Fixes and Optimization
- Fixed a bug that caused Flamethrower particles to unexpectedly not hit small hitboxes
- Fixed a bug that caused guns to misfire after switching to an ammo type that lowers rate of fire (for example, Incendiary Rounds)
- Fixed a bug that automatic weapons are skipping firing sound at the 2nd burst
- Fixed a bug that switching to other gun skills changes most guns' fire sound, like it was shooting double
-Fixed a bug where at a 90-degree FOV, the player’s tool assets appeared to be floating.
-Fixed a bug on Water Hazard where clouds would not interrupt spotting
-
:D
It all looks good. Good job, guys.
Edit: Really really really want the fix to the bug when exiting the game on macs.

I can't wait to get home and check out all the new awesomeness! I'm particularly excited to try the new Hades cannon on my (now sturdier) Spire.

I think there may be some texture issues, the smoke from a destroyed ship is square and the balloons and flags have a strange texture. It might be just me though, I'm verifying the files now
-
@nidh
Fixing it now. Bunch of normal maps got funked.

I think it was a Dragon movie.. I kinda enjoyed it, but then I was like 8.
Also, the magma cannon particle effects are amazing! Loving this new patch so far

Yeah, with Christian Bale and Matthew McConaughey.
Came out in '02, and it was godawful. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0253556/

"...begins setting fire to everything, establishing dominance over the planet."
Sounds like a good movie to me.
But, I digress.
Can't wait to see what Andika ended up doing with her dyes.
-
Just stopping by to say that new patch is awesome ! Thanks for the hard work Muse :)
-
Played for about 4 hours last night and was really impressed with the patch. Presets! Dyes! Books and help balloons! Crew member viewing in lobby! Map boundary effects! Red/blue team marker (for bozos like me)! Slightly tougher Spire, slightly weaker Pyra! And my favourite: contextual hit markers! Oh and that new gun ;) Didn't get a chance to do a 4v4 game but pumped to play one in the future.
Keep up the great work Muse!

- Bounty Hunting added. Sign up in-game to be hunted by the Guns of Icarus community and earn a special badge for being the most dangerous bounty or top bounty hunter.
Does this mean the game will keep track of who was on the winning team in a bounty match automatically or do we still have to send in screenshots?
-
Played for quite a few hours last night and LOVE the new patch. Everything is viable now, everything is useful. I was kicking butt solo with a Flakfish, murdering some pyra's with the spire, and melting things to pieces with the Magma! Love it! :D
-
Several achievement data bugs that were brought to our attention have been fixed (ones where two different values were displayed for a single goal).
The other known achievement bug right now is that buffs aren't counted properly; we have a fix for this in the works that will hopefully be deployed sometime next week (along with a few other fixes that are not just data).
-
We deployed a server hotfix last night to fix the buff achievement bug as well as a bug with bounty ranking.
-
Client build 1.3.2 (392) is out now, fixing a few things:
- Achievement progress popup is much less obtrusive, and should no longer cause performance hits when it appears
- Fixed some animation issues with the new reticle
- Fixed sort order of bounty hunter scoreboard (most points are now at the top).
-
Client build 1.3.2 (393) is out now:
- Phobos Light Mine Launcher: fixed missing balloons on mines
-
I've lately noticed some issues where the mines aren't able to be shot. Was this know/dealt with in this patch, or should I put together a proper bug report?
-
That's different and new, if you can still reproduce it now that the mines are properly visible please file that report.
-
Client build 1.3.2 (393) is out now:
- Phobos Light Mine Launcher: fixed missing balloons on mines
Does this also fix the Hades projectile not turning into a fireball for all but the shooter?
Edit: Just checked, it does. Thank you for the fix!
-
I did notice some discrepancy with steam achievements, the new gun information achievements did/do not register (and probably never will as they cant be repeated?).
Has this been reported?
-
Client build 1.3.2 (394) fixes an effects bug that may have been causing crashes on some Linux installs
-
Client build 1.3.2 (395) fixes a visual glitch (some matches appearing to blink in and out of existence) with the match list when there are sufficiently many matches.
