An update to the HITMAPS Community Server, the HITMAPS Roulette website, and HITMAPS Tournaments has been released. See below for the notable changes.
HITMAPS™️ Community Server
Roulette: New Backend Services
The backend services that generate the actual in-game spins has been rewritten from the ground up. This allows the server to generate spins that the currently HITMAPS Roulette website is capable of generating.
Roulette: Complicating Things Up
The In-Game Roulette now supports “No Target Pacification” complications, which were introduced a couple of months ago to the Roulette website. The only exception to this rule is Berlin, where the current logic will specify the complication, but won’t actually enforce it. A future update will properly enforce this complication.
Roulette: Miscellaneous Fixes
With the new backend services in place, the following issues have been fixed:
- In Mumbai, Wazir Kale will no longer appear in instinct until he has been identified to match the regular main mission’s behavior.
- A bug in Berlin has been fixed where you could use the same kill method / disguise on all 5 targets and then exit the mission.
- Fire kills have been updated to match Roulette Rivals tournament rules regarding the Molotov Cocktail.
Taskmaster
A brand new game mode has entered beta – Taskmaster.
In this game mode, the taskmaster has tasked you with 20 objectives, split across four groups. Your task is to complete two of these groups of five objectives. However, you’re limited on loadout and can only bring in an ICA19, a lockpick, and some coins. How fast can you complete these objectives?
Taskmaster is available to play on all main missions. If many of these tasks look familiar, it’s because they have been graciously borrowed from the Providence community‘s HITMAN Bingo.
(also, a special thanks to GKPunk for helping test out this new game mode by helping test every possible task that could show up as a condition)
HITMAPS Roulette (Website)
Nothing major changed here, but the odds of receiving a “No Target Pacification” complication on a qualifying kill condition has been increased from 20% to 25%.
HITMAPS Tournaments
Reduced “Want to signup for {event}” Spam
A small improvement has been made to the signup process. When a member signs up for a tournament, the site will now delete the old “Want to sign up for {event}?” message and replace it with a new one, rather than just posting a new one each time.
…oh, and the text has been replaced with a button now to make things simpler.
