I'm hearing from lots of EX players who would like to Alpha test, but who have struggled with the alpha patching process.  So this week I am going to try something different, a full installer for the alpha.






Full Download 7.52 (417,640 KB)
chromeangel.co.uk

Installation instructions
  • If you already have a copy of the EX alpha, delete it.
  • Run the alpha installer and follow it's instructions.
  • Restart Steam.  You should now see both the Exterminatus Beta 7.5 and Exterminatus Alpha listed in your library.

Features
  • Dynamic marine crosshair.  Rather than pulsing all the time, the new, sharper crosshair only "lights up" when it's over a target.  We need to test if it detects cloaked lictors.
  • Added the players exact health to the Tactical Overview.

Bug Fixes
  • Fixed broken stormbolter ammo icon.

Balance
  • Buffed flamer damage from 17 to 20.
  • Buffed stormbolter accuracy .

Tweaks
  • Class selection menu improved styling to make it clearer.
  • Wargear selection menu improved styling to make it clearer.
  • Tactical Overview screen improved styling to make it clearer.

Looks fine on my screen at 1920x1080 (16:9). I'd like feedback on how these tweaks looks at different resolutions and screen sizes.

7.52 After Action Report

Great turnout for this balance test.  I think we had a full house.  Cheers to the XI Legion for filling out the numbers.  

All the UI changes seem to work as designed.  The only balance feedback I noticed in-game was Stahl saying how i'd over nerfed the Terminator (despite the buff in this build).

My animated crosshair got stuck in the "lit" position. I'll try reseting it on respawn.

Player got stuck under the big sliding door in the outpost in ex_valley again.
