Risk of Rain 2 1.0 Update Launches on Steam, No Longer In Early Access
Posted:
08.11.2020 15:00:09
Risk of Rain 2 1.0 update has finally launched, after being in early access for over a year. The 1.0 update brings many new changes, including a proper ending, new survivor, and so much more! read on for the full patch notes.
Down below you’ll find the full patch notes for the final launch release of Risk of Rain 2. Do note that these patch notes are only for the PC Steam version. Console players will have to wait a bit as the developers are still working on getting those patches ready. Chances are, PS4, Switch, and Xbox players won’t see the 1.0 for at least month or two, which is the general release schedule for console content drop. Anyway, here are the full patch notes.
Risk of Rain 2 1.0 Update Major Content
Added System: Game Ending
The game now includes a proper ending, with credits and cutscene.
Added System: Server Browser
Quickplay served an important function at launch – but the QP featureset is barebones. Not only that, but the game has evolved past needing to just find a match – you need to find the right match. We think a built-in Server Browser (and hosting) will still allow you to connect and find other players easily while also providing a lot of the features and choices you want to make before connecting to a game.

Risk of Rain 2 1.0 Update Gameplay Changes
General
Bleeds now refresh all existing bleed durations on that target. This affects both enemies and players, and is a huge change for how bleeds will work.
Increase difficulty rate over time for all difficulties by +10%. Developer Notes: In this update, we’ve buffed a ton of items – and also given players way more agency over the way a run progresses. Our goal is for players to be more engaged with the game – what we don’t want is for the game to be suddenly much easier. This is a bit of a sanity check, and shouldn’t dramatically change the difficulty.
Slightly reworked OSP. The goal is to fix inconsistencies and make it actually protect you from one-shots – while also fixing some abuse cases with curse.
The threshold for OSP is now displayed on the healthbar with a faint graphic.
Now has a lingering 0.1s duration when activated.
🌧 Now is subtracted via Curse (Shaped Glass, Artifact of Glass, etc), i.e a curse of 10% will remove OSP entirely.
🌧 Update OSP logic so it still triggers if you receive multiple sources of damage in the same frame that go past OSP values, i.e Malachite Lesser Wisps
Elites
Blazing, Overloading, Glacial
🌧Health Bonus: 470% ⇒ 400%
Malachite, Celestine
🌧Health Bonus: 2350% ⇒ 1800% Developer Notes: We’ve had a lot of feedback that elite health has always felt a bit bloated – and that subsequently, it makes the Old Guillotine feel required. Our intent is to make characters less reliant on the Old Guillotine, and to make it feel more like an elite hate item – and less of an overall DPS item.
Survivors
🌧🌧🌧 Mobility skills are now considered ‘sprinting’, scaling with sprint speed multipliers and also sprinting after use.
Melee Survivors
🌧 Melee skills will now perform more consistently at high attack speeds.
Melee skills will now scale hitpause duration with attack speed – since the pause when hitting enemies were static, melee characters actually scaled poorly with attack speed.
Melee skills will now ‘hold’ you in the air better at high attack speeds.
Added a ‘Keyword’ system. Keywords are just words to describe common repeated behavior without explaining it every time. Added the following keywords:
Freezing
Stunning
Shocking
Poisonous
Regenerative
Agile
Percent HP
Sonic Boom
Weaken
Expose
Heavy
MUL-T Developer Notes: MUL-T has gotten some love from this patch to really push forward the idea that his weapons are strong in specific roles. Faster swap time and more responsive actions for the weapons will (hopefully) make weapon swapping feel better. We’ve also admittedly creeped cooldowns down over time, and MUL-T felt a bit left behind.
Base Acceleration: 25 ⇒ 30
Rebar Puncher
Now charges after firing, rather than before.
Scrap Launcher
Now behaves like a rocket instead of a grenade
Lifetime: 3s ⇒ 4s
Explosion Radius: 5m ⇒ 7m
Velocity: 70 m/s ⇒ 100 m/s
Nail Gun
No longer has an initial shotgun of 6 nails.
Now has a final shotgun of 12 nails.
Now fires in a consistent corkscrew pattern
Proc Coefficient: 0.4 ⇒ 0.6
Damage: 60% ⇒ 70%
Wind-down duration: 0s ⇒ 1.152s
Retool
Swap duration: 0.7s ⇒ 0.4s
Transport Mode
Cooldown: 8s ⇒ 6s
Mercenary Developer Notes: The Mercenary was always supposed to be the highest skill-cap survivor. However, in actual gameplay he became very flow-charty, using abilities directly off cooldown while holding down M1. The intent for all these changes is to allow skill expression, dynamic cooldowns, and higher risk vs reward in fight with the new ‘Exposed’ debuff. The hope is that the character will be stronger for advanced players, but weaker for new players.
Base Health: 140 (+42 per level) ⇒ 110 (+33 per level)
Base Regeneration: 2.5 health / second ⇒ 1 health / second
NEW Debuff: Exposed
Striking an Exposed target reduces all cooldowns by 1 second and deals an additional +350% base damage
Laser Sword
Third Strike Damage: 300% ⇒ 130%
Third hit now applies ‘Exposed’ debuff
The second and third hit of the combo can no longer be started in the middle of other attacks
Whirlwind
Ground Speed Multiplier: 6 ⇒ 8
Blinding Assault
Cooldown: 7s ⇒ 8s
Can now be canceled mid-attack by both Whirlwind and Rising Thunder
Slicing Winds
Last hit now applies ‘Exposed’ debuff
Acrid Developer Notes: Acrid has always been a melee-ranged hybrid. We want greater rewards for engaging in melee and completing your M1 combo for players who enjoy a more aggressive playstyle.
NEW Buff: Regenerate
Regenerate for 10% health over 0.5 seconds.
Vicious Wounds
Third hit of the combo now grants ‘Regenerate’ buff
Ravenous Bite
Now grants ‘Regenerate’ buff
Frenzied Leap
🌧Now (properly) stuns
Artificer Developer Notes: We want to enforce the Artificer’s role as a high-damage, high AoE character. Nano-Bomb in general was core to the fantasy, but was pretty much inferior to Nano-Spear in every way.
Plasma Bolt
Blast Radius: 4m ⇒ 6m
Charged Nano-Bomb
Now has slight gravity
Blast Radius: 10m ⇒ 14m
Blast Damage, Max Charge: 1200% ⇒ 2000%
Blast Force: 1300 ⇒ 3000
Lifetime: 5s ⇒ 10s
Improved FX for clarity
Ion Surge
No longer has -75% damage falloff at the edge of the blast
Items
Monster Tooth
Healing: 8 (+8 per stack) ⇒ 8
🌧Now also heals for 2% (+2% per stack) of maximum health
Medkit
Healing: 24 (+24 per stack) ⇒ 20
🌧Now also heals for 5% (+5% per stack) of maximum health
Repulsion Armor Plate
Now properly reduces damage from environmental effects
Warbanner
🌧 Now also places a Warbanner when activating the Teleporter
Improve VFX to be less opaque, since it will always be near the Teleporter
Death Mark
Debuff Duration: 7s ⇒ 7s (+7s per stack)
🌧Remove text stating that the damage bonus scaled with stacks
Old Guillotine
Execute Threshold: ~20% (+20% per stack) ⇒ 13% (+13% per stack) Developer Notes: Since we’ve re-tuned the health of elites across the board, the Guillotine should be appropriately re-tuned as well.
Runald’s/Kjaro’s Band Developer Notes: The two rings have undergone a bit of a rework, working off of an internal cooldown rather than a chance on-hit. We’re hoping that this can help diversify one of our “on-hit” items to be more than just attacking enemies and hoping things activate. We’ve also changed the behavior of Kjaro’s to be more of the AoE option, while Runald’s is the single target option.
Proc Chance: 8% ⇒ 100%
Now has an internal cooldown of 10 seconds
Now has a minimum threshold of only triggering on attacks that deal 400% or greater damage
Runald’s Band
Ice Blast Damage: 250% (+125% per stack) ⇒ 250% (+250% per stack)
Ice Debuff Duration: 3s ⇒ 3s (+3s per stack)
Kjaro’s Band
Fire Tornado Damage: 500% (+250% per stack) ⇒ 300% (+300% per stack)
Fire Tornado Hitbox Width: 4.8m ⇒ 13m
No longer moves
H3AD-5T v2
Reworked logic for calculating fall speed so it scales better while falling farther. Now has the following behavior:
Damage Coefficient: 1000% – 10,000% at maximum speed
Explosion Radius: 5m – 100m at maximum speed
Improved FX
Interstellar Desk Plant
Healing Radius: 3m (+1.5m per stack) ⇒ 5m (+5m per stack)
Healing: 5% max health every 1 second ⇒ 5% max health every 0.5 second
Milky Chrysalis
Now grants true flight and antigravity instead of jump-to-hover.
Pressing jump now performs a short dash in the direction of movement with a 0.5s cooldown.
Strides of Heresy
No longer puts you in combat
Helfire Tincture
Helfire Radius: 10m ⇒ 15m
Helfire Duration: 8s ⇒ 12s
Improve VFX and SFX
Effigy of Grief
Now placed at where you’re aiming, rather than at your feet
No longer is consumed on use.
Now limited to 5 per map per character.
Little Disciple
Fire Rate: 0.5s ⇒ 1.6s
Damage Coefficient: 100% (+100% per stack) ⇒ 300% (+300% per stack)
🌧Fire Rate now scales with movement speed
Stages
3D Printers will appear more often on all stages, ~50% more
3D Printers will cost less to spawn on all stages, ~50% less
The new interactable, the Scrapper, can now appear on all stages
Titanic Plains
🌧 Update with new visuals to make it depressing
Sky Meadow
Update with new visuals and functionality that leads to the final stage
Bazaar Between Time
Base Portal Chance: 25% for the first portal ⇒ 37.5% for the first portal
Lunar Buds: 4 ⇒ 5
Monsters & Bosses
Mini Mushrum
🌧 Base Health: 360 (+108 per level) ⇒ 290 (+87 per level)
Parent
🌧 Base Health: 1200 (+360 per level) ⇒ 900 (+270 per level)
Lesser Wisp
Now properly stops charging attack sound when interrupted
Imp Overlord
🌧Maximum Blink Distance: 600m ⇒ 300m
Now throws Void Spikes in a staggered fashion, rather than all at once
Magma Worm
🌧Maximum “Blink” Distance: 600m ⇒ 300m
Now considerably more aggressive and better able to hit targets Developer Notes: The blink behavior of both the Imp Overlord and the Magma Worm allows it to follow players between platforms, but it leads a lot of the times to the bosses blinking across the map to attack drones and turrets. While they may still do that, it’ll be a bit less pronounced.
Void Reaver
Now attempts to lead its Void Bombs in a straight line against its target
Updated AI to fire more aggressively and backpedal when its target is too close
AI now has 360° vision
Bison
🌧 Add spawn effect and animation (finally!)
1.0 Update Quality of Life
🌧 Added a language dropdown menu to the Main Menu
Audio has received an overall mix pass
Reduced the audio levels of the Magma Worm, Imp Overlord, and Clay Dunestrider
Updated the Teleporter model
Updated the Ukulele model
Improved Infusion VFX to be more noticeable
Reduced brightness of some Mercenary effects to they are less white and have more color
Fixed dithering for several on-character item displays
Updated the kick system to be able to supply detailed messages and enforce version matching when connecting to a server
Added functionality for servers and lobbies to provide mod info and reject players for mismatches
Servers can now define behavior to run upon entering character select by supplying a “server_pregame.cfg” config file
Updated “MUL-T: Gotcha!” challenge to allow Preon tendrils to count toward completion
A bunch of other stuff we probably forgot!
Risk of Rain 2 1.0 Update Bug Fixes
Fixed an issue with spread from bloom being applied to both minimum and maximum spread (ie you could never have a bullet travel dead-center when your spread bloom is at maximum) for Commando’s Phase Blast, Huntress’ Ballista, and MUL-T’s Rebar Puncher
Fixed potential physics crash that could occur if a character attempts to use a melee attack after crossfading into a new animation from a paused animation
Fixed immobilization from Void Reavers and REX’s Tangling Growth becoming permanent if using Wax Quail while affected, which would also sometimes lead to a crash upon getting killed
Fixed Repulsion Armor Plate not applying against posthumously dealt damage
Fixed Visions of Heresy allowing Huntress’ Ballista to exceed three shots
All gameplay stats are now forced to update before generating the final run report to make sure all values are up-to-date at the end screen
Fixed MUL-T’s Nailgun not properly animating over the network
Fixed some projectiles not playing their pre-expiration sounds over the network
Fixed several sounds not being played over the network
Fixed a timing issue in which lobby player count would not update immediately after a player leaves the lobby
Fixed a variety of other bugs we also probably forgot!
Risk of Rain 2 1.0 Update Known Issues
There are none, this game is perfect
And that’s it for the Risk of Rain 2 1.0 update! What do you guys think? Is this a worthy end to the early access phase? Hoping for some more DLC? If so what kind? Which survivor would you like still? let us know down below!
Call of Duty Puzzle Solved and Points to Friday Date for Next Step in Puzzle
Posted:
08.11.2020 09:00:10 Activision's puzzle has been solved by the Call of Duty community, and it features a new website that mentions the Call of Duty 2020 reveal date and time.
(TKC) BF3 - Fly Maps, fast vehicle spawn.. Noob Friendly!:25200
(TKC) RS2V - NFO Fast Server - Noobs Welcome!:7777
You can easily find any of our servers by using the "Server Status" tab. You can also find our servers at the bottom of our forums at: http://www.clan-tkc.com/phpBB or at GameTracker: http://www.gametracker.com/clan/thekillingcommitteeclan/. If you need any help finding our servers in-game, just come to our forums, post a topic and we'll try to help you out.
TKC servers are well run and every attempt is made to ensure a fun gaming environment. No racist or rude behavior is tolerated on any of our servers. TKC tries to have round the clock administration for it's servers but obviously sometimes a server will have no admin playing so if you witness any abuse for any game please attempt to report the offending players nickname, and if possible GUID here: "Server Vistors Complaint". Just give as many details as you can remember such as what the player was doing/saying. In addition cheating is not tolerated on our servers. We are protected by any of a number of different cheat tools at any given time including; VAC, steambans.com, pbbans.com, ggc-stream.com, metabans, pbscreens.com and punkbuster, depending on the game. If caught cheating your information will be submitted to the appropriate cheat tracker and you will be added to their database which will ban your Steam ID, PB GUID or EA GUID depending on the game and website.
When available we also offer ways for players, in-game, to contact admins to report bad behavior. These come in the form of game server plugins. Players will, if the server has the option available, have the option to report a player using, @report [player] [reason] or @admin [reason] to call an admin to the server. If an admin doesn't respond in a timely manner, please use the @report option so we can follow up on it later or use "Server Vistors Complaint" as mentioned above. If an admin is not available, we also try to give the players the opportunity to use @votekick [player] or @voteban [player] [reason]. This allows the guests to our server the ability to kick or temporarily ban a player who is breaking rules.
Profanity - Many of the games we play have very bad language, some don't, that should make a difference in how we enforce our rules. For that reason we are going to implement a new rule, which will seem strange at first, but there is reason behind it. Bad language will only be tolerated on Teamspeak channels for games where there is bad language in the game. In other words, since there is bad language in Bad Company 2, bad language will be acceptable in the Bad Company 2 Teamspeak channel and on the Bad Company 2 servers. On our Half-Life 2 DM Teamspeak channel and game server, bad language will not be allowed. Future games will also be handled in this manner. The reason, we do not want to exclude members with different beliefs. If I buy a game and one of the selling points for me was the fact that it did not have bad language, that should be respected. I do not want a father or grandfather having to explain bad language to their children or grandchildren because they heard profanity on a TKC Teamspeak channel they thought was free of such things.
How to deal with with Mic/Text spammers - No one wants to listen to a lot of unrelated chatter either on the game server, or Teamspeak. No one wants to see a lot of text spamming either. It's distracting to some, and in the case of Bad Company 2, causes lag problems when the text log gets too long. If someone is talking or typing too much, respectfully ask them to stop. If they continue, you may have to mute or kick them, and if they continue after that, a ban might be in order. When on Teamspeak, a certain amount of "visiting" is fine, but the gamers who want to communicate tactical information to others playing shouldn't have to constantly interrupt talk about the latest CPU, or talk of what's going on at school. If someone is talking too much and you don't feel like you want to address it, PM a clan leader and we can handle the situation.
Team Switching - In some games this is a big no-no and if you are admin for one of those games, ask the player to go back, if they don't and you have the ability, move them back manually. If you continue to have problems, kick/ban them. In other games, like Bad Company 2, team switching usually isn't as big a deal. Sometimes friends or clan members might want to play together, in that case, try to facilitate them and swap some people around. This will show you to be respectful of community and they will probably be very appreciative of your efforts. If there is a mass exodus of people from a bad team to a good team, you can mention in-game that people need to stop. If someone is ignoring you and continues to unbalance the teams, just kick them off the server. For a game like Half-Life 2, teams change after each round, so trying to put clan members together is just a waste of time, that is why team switching is considered bad.
Hacking/Cheating - This is the most overused excuse for kicking someone off of a server. Players are unjustly booted off servers all the time simply because they were too good. That is not fair. Do not base a decision on cheating on a single round, if it isn't really ridiculous score-wise, sometimes people just have great rounds. But if they continue to have an unbelievable K/D ratio, then you might need to ban them. Sometimes it might be necessary to ban someone just because they are killing the server. For me, this is the thing I hate to do the most. That person might be doing nothing wrong, other than being really good at a game. Try to put yourself in their shoes and only ban guys who are really obvious. I don't want to see anyone being banned for an aimbot because they went 29-0. I and many others have had a better score than that, it DOES happen. You have to consider how the person is playing the game. Are they playing as recon? Are they in the heli with a really good pilot? Sometimes, if you are unsure, it might be best to ask the opinion of a clan leader. Remember, visitors to our servers have the ability and a forum to complain about unjust behavior from our server admins. If someone complains about you, you want to know that you did everything by the book.
Soldier Names/Nicknames - We will not allow names that are offensive to anyone. I think we can all use our best judgement here, but if you are unsure, ask another admin what they think of the name and come to a consensus before taking action. Players using racist names should be perm banned immediately. It does no good talking to someone like that because they're only goal is to cause trouble.
Banter and Trash Talking - Now its okay to joke around, but if several players are going at it constantly on the mic or in chat just nicely ask them to stop. If it continues warn them again that if they don't stop they will be kicked, if for no other reason that mic/text spamming. If they ignore this warning then go ahead and kick them. A certain amount of this is fine as long as it's good natured, however sometimes this can lead to hard feelings so you have to use your best judgement of when something is going too far or things are starting to get out of hand.
Racist/intolerant behavior - This is a subject that we will show no mercy on. If someone is being a racist, and that means they are hating on blacks, whites, browns, yellows, whatever the case may be, they get perm banned. No warnings, no kicks, just ban them. We don't need that kind of intolerant behavior on our servers. I don't care if the person is joking, I don't care what his real intent was, if he's spewing hate speech, he's gone. This also applies to someone who is spewing hate speech against a group of people, like Muslims, Christians, agnostics, atheists whoever. We are a gaming clan. This is our hobby and it's supposed to be fun. Everyone who comes to a TKC server should be respected and able to play the game hassle free. Not everyone believes the same, and if someone can't get over it and comes to our server with an agenda that includes racist or intolerant speech, I expect you guys to bring the hammer down swiftly.
Metabans - We will use Metabans only for cheaters and will verify each ban using Cheat-O-Meter. This will ensure that we are not forcing our Metabans followers into banning players we have banned for breaking rules other than cheating. If we deem you are cheating and Cheat-O-Meter doesn't really indicate cheating and we can not find information about you or your clan tag, meaning there is no website or previous information on you as a player or clan that we can cross reference, we will ban you on our servers, but not Metabans. Clans must have a website that we can find and access to be considered legit, otherwise we will view your tags as hogwash and your suspect behavior will be deemed as cheating. Again, we will not add a ban that is not supported by Cheat-O-Meter to Metabans.
We want everyone to have the best time possible so do your best to maintain a good gaming atmosphere, then everyone can have a good time.
To join TKC you only have to read our "Code of Conduct" and then apply for membership by filling out an online application. After submitting your application you will become a "member candidate". You will be allowed to wear our tags but only as (tkc), all letters in lowercase. As you progress, as seen by our members, you will be advanced to (Tkc), then (TKc) and then finally (TKC). You will receive emails at each step with detailed instructions on what you need to do. To obtain your full membership and the right to wear the (TKC) tags, you will have to pass a vote by the TKC members. Only those members who have gotten to know you will vote. An 80% yes vote will be required for full admission. Please keep in mind that full membership takes 8 weeks.
For you to be accepted you will need to display good manners, sportsmanship, and the ability to follow our rules. This applies to all game server activitiy and forum participation. If you do not feel you can meet our requirements we respectfully ask that you not apply as we have many who want to join and we can not waste time on gamers who are not serious about membership.
So now you're a member of TKC congrats! It is important for you to note that membership in TKC is not a lifetime privilege. Only the clan founders Big Flem and Squidward have lifetime membership and can not be removed. Clan leaders expect it's members to participate in clan activites when they can, and to be an ACTIVE member in the clan. We consider active members to be members who regularly post on the forums, participate in clan activities when possible, and communicates and develops friendships inside the clan. We do NOT consider a member to be active if they only ever play on our servers and nothing more. The leaders of this clan work hard to organize events and if you can't support these activities, can't check and post on the forums at least once or twice a week, then you are not TKC material and eventually you will be kicked from the clan. If you do not think you can meet these requirements as a member of TKC, then please don't attempt to gain entry into the clan as you will only waste your time, and ours.
Beyond administration positions such as "Clan Leader", "Division Leader", etc, the answer is no. However we do have achievable military style ribbons and medals that can be won for various acts. You may see each members ribbon and medal "Display Case" by going to the "Members" tab and under each members profile clicking the "Awards" icon. Below is each award and how you obtain that award. Note that medals also have an associative ribbon:
Ribbons(Hover over information icon for description)
In the past TKC had too many admins on our servers and things got a little out of hand. We are not looking for any new admins, however if we feel you will make a good addition to that team we will ask you. Being a server admin is not fun and games. It requires you to WORK, and follow server administrator rules which are well defined once you become an admin. Our admins are forced to stop playing whatever game they might be playing, and work to secure and maintain server tranquility reguarly. If you are an admin that does not mean you will get to run willy nilly and ban, kick, and torture at will. Admins who do not follow our rules will be stripped of admin duties and power. In addition there are more requirements of admins such as, reguarly checking our server admins forum. Once you become an admin you will be given access to this forum and you must check and read it quite often. It is a way for admins to help one another by posting their thoughts on what is going on, who to watch closely, etc. Do not ask us constantly to be an admin, that is the surest way I know to never become an admin. Our leaders will identify the best candidates for admin duties if we think it necessary.
No. In order to have an official TKC server it must meet certain standards. In addition, we might not want a server for a particular game, and if you aren't an admin, then you shouldn't have admin authority on any server. Official TKC servers have to be setup as close to identical as possible. This means that the clan leaders must have all access to any of it's servers including the ability to restart that server, gain access via FTP and game panel. It means that the clan leaders can setup the server with it's normal settings and add the usual addons. In short, if you want to have your own server then that is fine, but don't try to name it "Boom Boom Room" or tie it in any way to TKC.
Clan TKC maintains several servers that are open to it's clan members and the public. In addition TKC has other expenses that require money. To pay the bills TKC relies on it's members and visitors to donate. Without these donations, TKC will cease to exist. Please consider donating money when you can. We do our best to use the money wisely, to invest in TKC, to invest in PC gaming.
