Ubisoft Upgrades Xbox Pandora Tomorrow
A fresh automatic update for the Xbox version of Splinter small room Pandora Tomorrow is available now, Ubisoft announced today. The next to the first update (after the stopgap patch that repaired the infamous Optimatch bug in the first production step quickly of the game) features interface improvements and substantial revisions to the online ranking a whole in Pandora's multiplayer game.
A replete reckoning of the changes goe like so:
Multiplayer Interface
Outside a game, lobby communication quality has improved, and there's a notation to indicate who's talking at a given time. There's also an option to locate the preferred language when opening a game, and a corresponding Optimatch parameter to compute the game to look for matches in a specific language.
In-Game Interface
Changes to the game manner and ranking options are announced to the player as before long as the host makes them. The altitude of an objective (above you or below you) is now indicated with an arrow. Setting a secret agent trap now involves a check to diocese if there's an opposite wall in range.
Ranking combination of parts to form a whole
The rather arcane original ranking a whole has been reworked on a linear scale, with 100 points equaling a single horizontal from "0" (negative points) to AA (more than 10000 points). The penalty for dropping on the outside of a game has increased -- 25 50 or 100 points depending upon a player's overall leaderboard score -- and partial penalties will be held above and applied when a player log upon again.
To point on the outside potentially unreliable partners or adversarys the ranking scoreboard also indicates by what means many points a player has missing during a game, how many globules they've had, how many penalties they've taken, and separate scores for specific and overall leaderboards.
Bug Fixes
New profiles can be created offline and used online, or vice versa, without getting a "corrupt profile" error. be frozen bugs when hacking ND133s, landing upon opposing players' heads, and/or concluding games have been fixed.
Along with today's announcement, Ubisoft promises a restart of the game's leader boards (after the conclusion of Microsoft's online tournament) and more of recent origin downloadable content in the near coming time so expect further details upon those events soon.
