Patch 62.3 Notes
Group lobbies, new ranks and more!
Welcome to Patch 62.3 Notes.
Wow, look at these updates! Hard to believe only one of them is fake.
- Group Lobbies
- Rank System Updates
- Small Store Update
- Replaced all instances of upper case "i"s with lowercase "L"s. And vice versa.
- Lots of New Art
We are super excited to get a number of new features out into the world before our upcoming tournament.
Group Lobbies
This is a big one! Players can now create and join private groups with friends. The group leader simply needs to name their game then share that name with friends. Group lobbies are unranked, and will fill with bots if you have less than 8 players. Dust rewards will be same as in practice.
Please note, this is a feature we are continuing to work on and improve. In addition to improved visuals, we are working on supporting options to fill the game with bots or not, and turning on timers or not.
New Ranks
We are adding three new ranks to our system. Noble and Monarch are additional thresholds in between ranks, and Mythic is a new rank above Legend. Mythic will be the cutoff for our October Qualifier. Once you hit Mythic you can't drop below 4,000 points, so feel free to play to your heart's content. In addition, players in Legend will now always earn positive points for top 4s! Here's the new ranked breakdown as well as how point gain works in each rank.
