Reduced damage when shooting with guns from 30% to 20%. Increased brood grenade damage from 50% to 60%. Moved attack speed to tier 1 and attack damage to tier 2. Nerfed attack speed from 10 x 3 points TO 7.5 x 4 points. Upgrade Point Changes Increased brood points by 1, when 1 brood is selected with more than 3 players.

Sanity Changes Sharpened the penalty for each RDM. (we don't like banning!) Sanity lost on the current round, can no longer be reneged until next round. Sanity will now drop for broods DAMAGING swarms at 50% the normal rate. Overall performance changes to reduce server overhead in handling sanity. Content Distribution Optimized all textures (including gamemode) for significantly faster downloads. Removed about 20mb+ of unnecessary gamemode sound files, bloating dl times. Reworked all maps and content for workshop distribution. (Three cheers for the CDN!) Reworked maps to be sent in 50mb to 65mb in 2 to 6 map bursts for 70% less downloads! Decreased prepare times on all maps for rapid round starting! Loading Screen Changes Preloaded the server name and game-mode name. Put a message on there, telling people to upgrade their Internet! And how long their download *should* take. Scoreboard Changes Added a new dual-row responsive design for large amounts of players. Fixed a couple issues for clients with lower resolutions. Dramatically reduced the width of the scoreboard. Timelimit Changes Reduced time limits on sanctioned maps by two minutes. Reduced global target time limits by two minutes. Added turbatio and outpost to the list of sanctioned maps. Spray Management Added a spray-tracker feature to find monitor player sprays. Added a spray restriction feature to block players from spraying. And put a nice message telling these players to contact us! Map Management Improved overall level change speeds by reducing i/o of map reading. Changed previous map history to a 100% accurate order ranking system. Made thresholds smarter to cycle through more maps. Reduced a few option counts, to cycle through more maps. Don't record previous maps with only a couple players. For less overall map repetition! Bug Fixes Fixed an issue causing bodies not to drop with custom player models. Fixed an issue with brood selection allowing spectators to break it. Addressed an issue causing brood player models to revert back to default. Addressed an issue causing the point-shop to hitch due to large amounts of content. Other Changes Improved handing of afk clients, specially during lower player counts. Attached steam authentication logging to each chat message in client console. Hackers can no longer get away with name change spam! [*]Added a permanent mute feature administrators can use instead of banning people! [*]*Modified moderation policy to further reduce the number of server bans. Let a few moderators go, who were not willing to change their ways!
