We always post patchnotes ingame, but as we have been super busy preparing to leave Early Access we have let posting here lag a bit behind. Post-Early Access, updates will always be posted here along with ingame. As we move into the home stretch toward leaving Early Access, we wanted to give the Player Market one more chance of being opened up. The game has changed a lot in what items are desireable and what affects gameplay, so our concerns about keeping the Player Market restricted to VIPs may no longer be needed. We will definitely be keeping an eye on all things related to the Player Market since we would love to have it open to everyone again if we can avoid the headaches that came along with it. Please be aware that for convenience we allow items that are intended for AirMech Wastelands to be shown in AirMech Strike. As the new Player Market was originally supposed to be exclusively for Wastelands players, this was fine, but it does have the potential to cause confusion. If new players are confused a bit about things which have the Wastelands icon, try to help explain how it works and be patient as we give this a shot. ##### Changes - update saucer deathray AOE damage to council numbers (25%, 2->4 range) - allow saucer deathray to target airmode airmechs and air units - adding pulsed AOE damage to Saucer Deathray ability - prepare market for non-VIP use - add market chat tab - add Rumble 3 promo banner and billboard - merge selling dialog into main market window - add more use tips for how to sell on market window - make mail close buttons like others in the UI - add dedicated Market chat channel - add icon shortcuts for inventory/market/friends to info tab - Enable PiDay items on Strike/Wastelands - don't mark books as wastelands content, since they aren't anymore - Added sfx for when unit configuration ui slides open - Added sfx when market ui open/closes - add 'Collection' and 'Market' ui nav links - Updated AirMech class buttons in customization ui - Make it rain Diamonds during a Diamond Roll - make chat window not dragable - improve spectate hud layout - fix display of recalibrated airmech parts in strike - animate lobby tree - add proper art for Rumble 3 - testing game event cards - reduce keypress influence to switch from gamepad back to mouse keyboard input.
