What is new in Hyper Scape Update 0.5?
FIRST AND FOREMOST, THIS PATCH IS ABOUT TIME-TO-KILL.Many of you told us TTK felt too slow and that it was too hard to eliminate opponents. We believe the core of the issue was indeed that weapons were not dealing enough damage, but also that the shooting windows of opportunity were rendered too short by the very strong presence of mobility or defensive Hacks. Hacks started to have too strong an influence on the TTK overall. So, we have focused our changes on making the weapons more powerful, while preventing the Hacks from being used constantly to escape or eliminate opponents.
THE SECOND FOCUS IS RELATED TO SEVERAL SPECIFIC ABILITIES THAT FELT UNFAIR TO MANY OF YOU.Namely, the Protocol V’s one hit kill ability, the Mine Hack’s overall power level, and the Invisibility Hack’s overly strong ability to escape a gunfight. Each of these is addressed in this patch. We know the change on Protocol V will likely be a controversial one with some of our skilled sniper players, and we will keep a close eye on that discussion going forward, but we believe reducing its constant presence in the game will be to the benefit of all players.
LASTLY, THIS PATCH IS INTRODUCING CHANGES TO AOE (EXPLOSIVE) WEAPONS.We aim to make AoE weapons more comfortable & efficient to use, while reducing the ability for players to pushback and spam with high efficiency. We have effectively removed all pushback effects from those weapons and made sure they could not be abused for indoor combat.
As always, this patch would not have been possible without all your questions, comments, and suggestions. Your ongoing feedback is critical, so please keep it coming.

SHOWDOWN
Detailed changes:

We believe the current Sector Decay Damage has been creating too much pressure to reach the last sector in time once Showdown begins. The above changes in Hacks and our previous changes on Showdown & Crown should ensure this level of damage is enough to be strong incentive to stay in the last sector without being too stressful.
BUG FIXES
• General Client and Server stability improvements
