| (https://i.imgur.com/KlVbLfx.png) | The Old and the New Change is a-comin', comrades! In case you find yourself living under a rock on the far side of the moon, Holdfast just had a major update. Changes include the tweaking of melee combat, which is the developers' biggest priority, as well as some new content. Joining the British are the 92nd Highlanders, complete with fashionable kilts and obnoxiously loud bagpipes! The iconic yellow lapels of the Polish Legion of the Vistula were also spotted among the French infantry. On top of this, both factions received a new class: The Grenadier, who excels in melee combat but does not actually carry grenades... yet. A few new maps for both linebattles and standard play have also been added. From what we can tell, melee combat was slowed down slightly and the blocking delay was reduced to a minimum, making blocking on reaction somewhat viable now. Of course, further fine-tuning is needed. We usually test beta versions of new patches before release, so be sure to join in if you are interested in helping out the game! For everything about the new patch, check out the dev-log (http://www.holdfastgame.com/News/Post?p=1034). Did you know the 51st is a very hip regiment that is "down with the kids"? Well, we are - So naturally as a hip regiment, we also have a Discord server, which now accompanies all our other channels. Join us here! (https://discord.gg/geJckrh) We are reminding you that we now have weekly NA Trainings as well, on Fridays at 7:30 PM EST/EDT. Depending on attendance and interest, we may also take part in the NA Friday Linebattle (http://www.holdfastgame.com/forum/index.php?topic=1624.0) at 8 PM EST/EDT. As usual, there will be the good old Saturday Public Linebattle to look forward to at 20:00 CET (http://www.inyourowntime.info/2018-01-27_20.00_Europe.Berlin), as well as the Sunday Linebattle, at 20:00 CET (http://www.inyourowntime.info/2018-01-28_20.00_Europe.Berlin). We will see you on the battlefield and of course for next week's edition of the Minden News™. |
How does one partake in those early tests?
