Welcome to this week's blog post! The team is working on multiple systems and features and our main focus right now is player retention and new player onboarding.

Welcome Hello everyone and welcome to this week’s blog post!

As we are about to release another patch, we will keep this post short, and talk about a few things coming to the game along with another preview at our upcoming mastery system.

Jungle leveling system Currently, all jungle camps besides raptor and prime work using static stats, meaning their health and damage do not go up over time. This causes issues with clear speeds being too slow early on and too quick as people progress through the game. To fix this issue, we are looking to implement a system that works off of the average level of all enemy and allied heroes.
‍
This will make it so that we can lower the early game health and damage of the jungle camps, while raising these stats as the game progresses, slowing down the clear speed further into the game. This should create a healthier experience overall in the jungle.

‍New Jungle Items These new jungle items were created to make clear... Read more

There will be no server downtime, but players will be kicked from their matches roughly one hour from now. (11:30 PM EST)

Since this week is mainly focused on watching how the patch is received by our community, while working on key things we need to address, this will be a fairly quick blog post.

Patch 13.1
Now that patch 0.13.0 is out the door, we are currently working on squashing some pesky bugs that remain in the game while tackling any new ones that have surfaced with the update, such as the keybind bug players have been reporting and more. We plan to roll out another patch soon which will address the main issues while we continue to iron out any wrinkles in the game with our regular bug and balance patches.

We are also making some slight changes to the HUD due to community feedback, an example of this is adding team kill counts to the HUD. This was something our entire community agreed t... Read more

Patch Notes[www.playfault.com]

Content
New H.U.D Patch 0.13 will be available April 27th. Update release time will be announced next week.

Fault’s new HUD is here!
The new HUD is more than just changing the visual aesthetic of the display itself, but also changing how all information is presented to the player. To achieve this we have created custom animations and VFX/SFX to feed your eyes and ears the information you need in a satisfying way, without taking your attention away from the action.



We wanted a HUD that holds all the information a MOBA game needs, combined with the aesthetic and clutterless feel of action games, and we feel we have achieved this in patch 0.13.0. We will continue to monitor the HUD and the community's reactions to it to further refine it as needed after release.
