We have a few more improvements to The Heist based on your feedback. We’ve added a lobby, improved guarding valuables, adjusted the difficulty, and more. Thank you for all your thoughtful feedback on this new mode!
Servers 2 to 12, get ready - the Thief is eyeing up your valuables! Once the 1.2.3 dust settles, we’ll let you know when you can start tracking the Thief!
Heist Lobby
- We’ve added a lobby to allow players to gather and strategize. The player who created The Heist can start once the group is ready.
- Other players will still be able to join after a Heist is started.
Standing Guard
- Posting a Hero to stand guard now guarantees you will spot the Thief before she can steal the valuable. If you win the battle, you save the valuable, for now!
- We added a new icon to differentiate Standing Guard from Standing Watch.
Difficulty Changes
- Medium and Hard are now harder. The Thief has unlimited lives, so in order to win, you must find the hideout! On Hard, the Heroes drain more energy when sprinting.
- You must win each difficulty level (Easy, Medium, Hard) before you can start or join the next.
Other Improvements
- Added status icons to Heroes on the combat screen so you can know if you are pulling a hero away from standing watch or guard.
- The map now automatically pans to the Hideout once it’s found.
- Added Power to hero tooltip
- Added a preview of your available Heros on The Heist list.
- Added a back button when zoomed into the heist map.
- Added a notification to the main screen if you have a free heist available.
- Fixed a bug where heist battle didn’t remember if you had auto selected.
- Chat improvements
