Patch 1.02 for Kane's Wrath!
Subject description: The Live team is fully functional!
Kane's Wrath should get a new patch in the next weeks. This patch is mainly focused on competitive online gaming, so do not expect a mod compatibility with it, neither AI fixes for the Global Conquest Mode, which got majorly screwed up in the last patch due to the economic changes.
Anyway, here's the changelist:
Bug fixes:
· Fixed an error that sometimes caused players to unexpectedly select multiple control groups at once when rapidly switching between control groups.
· Beacons once again work for subfactions
· GDI Slingshot and Shatterer icons swapped at the Reclamator Hub to mirror the War Factory
· Watch tower will now correctly autotarget units at maximum range
· ZOCOM Shatterer can no longer bypass the overload beam power down by using Call for Transport
· Sonic fencing will no longer disappear from the armory when healing infantry
· Decoy Specters will no longer deal the full non-decoy damage if the decoy dies while the weapon shell is in flight
· Decoy specters will no longer do damage if the decoy dies while the shell is in flight
· Specters will no longer damage airborne units
· Nod Crane can now build the Voice of Kane
· Units will no longer retain the mothership catalyst effect when transported through a wormhole
· Decoy Tripods can no longer EMP
· Fixed an exploit that allowed small units to walk along the map border, outside of normal detection, on the Tournament Tower map
Global Conquest:
· Meta-unit hardpoints will be reset at the beginning of each Global Conquest battle
· Strike forces can now have spaces in their names
Global changes:
· Level 2 Veterancy bonus increased from +20% damage, +30% health to +25% damage, +40% health.
· All Harvesters: cost reduced to 1600, build time reduced to 16s. This will speed up the time to unit production and decrease the impact of all-in rushes without affecting the early-game scouting phase.

And that's what you should expect from this patch. Too bad that they are really saying no for mod support for Kane's Wrath, specially in a time where a lot of interesting mods for TW are finally going live, like Tiberium Essence and Granatball. QUICK_EDIT
I honestly didn't think I would see another patch for KW. I'm so glad there are going to do 1.02! I just really wish they would fix the AI... _________________ MadHQ's Graveyard - Click here!

the new RISK style game play has its potential, but the AI is stupid, and there isn't enough to it to make it something you go back to continuously. You should be able to LAN with 3 other people and play them as well. _________________ You come for the modding but you stay for the Crap Forum. QUICK_EDIT

Re: Patch 1.02 for Kane
What about the Nod SAM Turret de-synch fix everyone kept shrieking about, or allowing the Enlightened to enter the Redeemer? :/ Anyway, besides that, all I don't like are:
Quote:
· Devourer tank range reduced from 350 to 340
Any nerf of this tank at all is unwarranted. Feh.
Quote:
· Seeker tank armor versus rockets increased 10%, armor versus gun increased 10%
Wha? OK, versus gun I can handle, but why rockets? If you aren't Traveler, Attenuated Forcefields alleviate any armor issues with the Seeker and Gun/Shard Walker. IMO, anyway.
Quote:
· Mechapede: disintegrator segment range increased from 150 to 175
Disgusting. Nothing more to say. Moving on.
Quote:
· Blink Packs: cost/build time reduced to 500/15s
This wasn't needed, either. For the more clever Scrin player, this upgrade WILL make a substantial difference in combat. The cost of this difference was fine before and shouldn't have been tampered with. The build time change is tolerable but the cost is a bit low now.
As Revolutionary said, better late than never, and I do welcome a lot of the changes. But they need to do a hot-fix 1.03 for the de-synchs and AI bugs. _________________

I´m still waiting for those Art Assets, but I guess the patch is a good start for damage containment. What a shame that the capabilities of the SDK make TW so much more fun to play now. _________________ Off Duty. QUICK_EDIT
Well, at least Kane's Wrath got as many patches as The First Decade. It's still embarrassing that EAs 'new support policies' are as good their old. QUICK_EDIT

Oh, I get it your a troll which would also explain why you are posting as guest. Well I'm not going to play along so go find someone else annoy! Anyway, like I said earlier this isn't enough to get me playing KW again but its good to see EA is doing something about fixing, some of, KW's many problems. _________________ QUICK_EDIT
there's also a "beta" patch 1.06 for ra3. I have no idea what it is, but the homepage of c&c.com mentions it. _________________ Please, read the signature rules of the forum. QUICK_EDIT

I believe the game uses references to a Titan Mk. 2, the chassis base the Juggernaut Mk. 3 is based on.
Besides, the Tiberian Sun Titans were phased out way before KW. If EA really wanted to be lazy, they could've used the models already in KW and just boned 'em. QUICK_EDIT
Oh god both of you stop this, it's pointless I already trimmed the weeds out of this thread already. Stop telling each other to shut up, because you're creating an ever lasting cycle. Also I have a great great great difficulty in understanding why someone would insist to spell a word wrong for the sake of proving a point (what point?). Just bloody spell properly and consider that you're not the only person here.
Although back to topic, I'm yet to download this patch. I have to say I was quite disappointed with the KW balancing issues, I seriously hope this patch can iron out a lot of annoying flaws. _________________ QUICK_EDIT

That was fast. Now if they'd release a de-synch hot-fix patch and if they roll back the cost of Blink Packs, then I think they'll be about done patching that until all of RA3's kinks are worked out. _________________

Hmm, whats does EA have in the works, patch for RA (the main team), RA xpack (third party team in india), and then I am guessing the 'live' team is making the supposed 1.10 for TW. RASDK, we will never know. _________________ Please, read the signature rules of the forum. QUICK_EDIT
