[img]https://i.imgur.com/wdh1dom.jpg[/img] Dear Community, (Original Post: http://forums.fredaikis.com/index.php?/topic/8430-patch-239/)   A new patch! This patch is mostly aimed to implement the content and preparations for the Halloween 2019 event. Next to that we have added a taunt system, we have done some fixes here and there and we have added some further new content. Overall not a huge patch but needed for the Halloween 2019 event. For those wondering about the Halloween 2019 event; we have planned to release a final announcement including all information about the event later today / tomorrow. The Halloween 2019 event will start tomorrow at 12:00 PM (CEST). [i][b]NOTE: Since we added the taunt system your key binds mind have been resetted. This is caused because of the new mapping we did to use a taunt. By default to use a taunt you have to press "p".[/b][/i] Now, let's jump into the patch notes.   [u][b][u]Overall Updates:[/u][/b][/u] [b]GENERAL:[/b] [list] [*] Added content for the new Halloween 2019 event week that is coming soon.
