Patch Notes 21st March 2019Mar 21, 2019 - Community Announcementshttps://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/7219617/ac790325070dbe245aaade3401cb20ae648cffa5.jpg About this patch We are very happy that we came to an agreement with Jagex so we now have control over the game. We look forward to working with the games awesome community to ensure that the servers are up, and matches can be found. One of the things we want to do, is to try out things (sometimes quite radical stuff). Some of these you will hate, and sometimes for good reason. We will be listening to you, and looking at the data, and when it turns out that some things do not work we will try to be quick remove or resolve it. Our key focus for this update was trying to reduce the time needed to search for matches. We have also added some new blocks that we hope will shake up how the matches are played. We have also done a much needed balancing pass, and some tweaks and fixes that we know you have been waiting for. We look forward to hearing what you guys think. Building is awesome. Toadman Crate A little welcome from us for all existing players. The crate will either contain a random new character, or if you have all characters, a random new skin. If you have all characters and skins, your crate will contain 3000g (This crate does not include special exclusive skins) New Blocks Cloud: The Cloud block has to be built next to another block, but will remain up in the air if the blocks around it are destroyed, giving a new perspective for the “sky bridges” Cannon: Fire a bullet at a fixed time, which does damage on explosion Piggy Bank: The Piggy Bank device block gathers bricks over time. When destroyed, the contents of the piggy bank are shared among the team. Characters max level The character max level has been increased to 200. At level 125 and 150, you will receive 1500 Gold. At level 150 and 200, you will received bounty crates (Gold at 150 and Diamond at 200) Character Balancing Reduced Sweet Science’s Gravity Well duration by 30% Reduced Sweet Science’s active ability cooldown from 60 to 55 seconds Reduced Sweet Science’s Gravity Block lifetime from 10 to 8 Reduced Sweet Science’s build range from 4 to 3 Reduced Sweet Science’s Gravitron Stance Arc by 33% Increased OP Juan Shinobi’s teleport cooldown by 50% Reduced OP Juan Shinobi’s teleport pool by 15% Increased Vander’s Static Gloves damage by 20% Reduced Vander’s Ball Lightning attack time by 20% Removed Astarella’s Rocket Boots knockback effect Reduced Astarella’s Saucer Launcher clip from 5 to 4 Reduced Astarella’s Saucer Launcher world damage by 20% Increased Astarella’s Saucer ammo pool from 36 to 40 Reduced Trondson’s active ability cooldown from 60 to 50 seconds Increased Trondson’s active ability duration from 10 to 12 seconds Increased Trondson’s Kobold Lamp ammo pool by one Increased Cogwheel’s speed by 10% Increased Cogwheel’s Cannon ammo pool by 25% Increased Yuri’s snowball critical damage by 15% Reduced Dream Genie’s build time by 20% Reduced Dream Genie’s a...Live Dev stream 6th March 2019Mar 5, 2019 - Community Announcementshttps://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/7219617/feb145b786a89381310027bd7b4f443b6df5b4e2.jpg Hi everyone! So, we know you are itching to know what we're up to and what we have planned, and with that in mind, we are going to do a live Dev stream tomorrow, 6th March at 18.00 CET. Our Producer Jack Wulff and our Lead designer Oliver Castle will sit down with you for a live chat on our Twitch channel where we will talk about what we want to do with the game, talk about the next update, and also try and answer some of your questions https://www.twitch.tv/toadmaninteractive We look forward to seeing you there!Community announcement! Lets Block!Feb 20, 2019 - Community Announcementshttps://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/7219617/4491bde28b0b7789fcee3cd8b284379010714110.jpg Hi Everyone! We know you’ve been waiting for any news on Block ‘n’ Load, and we can now share with you what you have been hoping for :) We are incredibly excited here at Toadman Interactive to be able to take over this exciting title! After many discussions, it was very clear that Jagex wanted the best for Block ‘n’ Load, and we are extremely happy they have given us this chance to improve the game for the community. As you may or may not know, Toadman Interactive acquired Artplant last year who previously worked on the game, so we are fortunate to have people who know and love Block ‘n’ Load already. We have seen how passionate you, the community, are about Block ‘n’ Load, and that’s very inspiring to us. To start a conversation with you guys, and to give you an idea of who Toadman Interactive is, we are having a livestream next Wednesday. Robin Flodin, the CEO of Toadman Interactive will be sitting down with you at 19:00 CEST on Wednesday 27th of February on twitch to talk to you about Toadman Interactive and the future of Block ‘N’ Load. Bear in mind that, in this session, Robin is not going to go into the details of balancing and fixes. Instead, our hope is to give you a face of the company and to give you an idea of how we can try to grow both Block ‘N’ Load as a game, and as a community. The stream will be held at https://www.twitch.tv/toadmaninteractive Our aim is to make sure Block ‘n’ Load stays alive, so we are very much looking forward to giving the game a much needed update and building a great relationship together! We have opened an official Block ‘n’ Load Discord where you are very welcome to join. We look forward to your feedback and to seeing you there! https://discord.gg/pqHDgqj Best Toadman Team! A block to the future - news updateFeb 18, 2019 - Community AnnouncementsHey Blockheads, It’s been a while since we last posted and promised we’d let you know what’s happening to Block N Load – apologies for staying silent for so long and thanks for being patient. However, the long wait is now over and here’s the great news: We're happy to announce that the future development of Block N Load has been taken on by its co-developer, Artplant, now a part of Toadman Interactive! The team at Toadman is super passionate about the game so it’s very fitting that they will take full control of Block N Load. This means they’ll control everything from the day-to-day management of the servers right through to exciting new content updates, as well as look after you all. We have no doubt that Artplant and its parent company Toadman are best placed to drive Block N Load into a brand new and successful future, after all, their experience and knowledge of the game is second to none! “Toadman Interactive and Jagex both wanted to focus on ensuring Block N Load fans of today and tomorrow continue to see the investment and evolution of this great game, so we’re thrilled to reach an agreement that means we can bring the game in house,” said Robin Flodin, CEO of Toadman Interactive. “The original development team at Artplant are cooking up some great new updates for the game, which they will reveal soon.” Phil Mansell, CEO, Jagex said, “This deal is great news for the Block N Load community and fans of team-based shooters, as it bolsters this innovative game with further investment and creative ambition. We saw in Toadman Interactive a kindred spirit who share our passion for live games and community-driven development. It’s a real positive for Block N Load players that Toadman and Artplant are taking the game’s production and operations forward, and we’re confident they have the vision and share the community’s appetite to give Block N Load a great future.” But why the radio silence since our previous post? Well, we wanted to ensure we did everything possible to secure the long-term future of the game for all of you, which meant during the discussions with Toadman, anything stated publicly could have affected the outcome of the negotiation – and we just couldn’t risk that from happening. We hope you’re as happy as we are with today’s news - see you on the battlefield, Blockheads! - The Block N Load Team Block Progression ReworkFeb 26, 2018 - Community Announcementshttp://cdn.akamai.steamstatic.com/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/7219617/d7b57892ee83d99dc51f1904bccf11d64a942931.jpg Welcome to the latest update to Block N Load! We've got a new selection of additional Block Skins for you to add to your loadout, along with sweeping changes to the Block Levelling system and Bounty Blocks. Read on for the full notes on this update! New Items Block Skins Alien Glue skin for the Glue Block. First Aid skin for the Heal Station. Golden Gear skin for the Land Mine. Brass Radar skin for the Radar. Baroque skin for the Bounce Pad. Doc Eliza's Heal Station skin for the Heal Station. For most players you'll be able to find these Block Skins in Bounty Blocks, and you'll be able to use them once you've unlocked them. However, if you have been playing Block N Load since before it went free to play you should find that the Golden Gear, Brass Radar, Baroque Bounce Pad, and Doc Eliza's Heal Station have already been added to your inventory as these were available before the free-to-play transition. Block Progression We've been listening to your feedback since Block Progression went live in December as well as looking at the data for how it is being used. As a result we're making some significant changes to the system. Due to the scale of these changes, you'll all be refunded Dust and Gold for any Blocks that you had previously levelled to let you re-invest in the new upgrade system as you see fit. You should be able to see the following changes to the Blocks screen in your Profile: All Blocks now have a maximum cap of 10 levels instead of a varying amount depending on the block type. To go with this, the amount of Gold and Dust required to level up a Block has also been adjusted. All Blocks have been changed to level up more than one attribute, and to make the amount these change more noticeable. To help display this we have updated the stats window for Blocks to display what each level of a block will do, and which upgrades you have already unlocked. Dust text and icon has been added to the progress bar. Additional information on how to obtain Dust has been added. Increased the size and resolution of the Block level on the Blocks screen, along with updating art assets to help make the screen feel more crisp. Improved the information displayed on the Blocks screen to show which Blocks and Block Skins you do not own, and how they can be obtained. Improved the display of which Blocks are ready to level up to make it more visible when you have one ready to increase in level with new art and effects. Poison Bush should now correctly display as locked if you have not obtained it from a Bounty Block.

We’re still hard at work on a whole host of other improvements and other fixes that you’ve asked for since our December update, some of which we’re hoping to get out in another update in February. Fixes Based on the reports that you’ve made since our last update went live we have been able to fix a number of issues, we’re still hard at work to get some of the more complex ones resolved. However, as of today you should find that the following issues are now resolved. Perks Yury the Yeti’s Perk “Chill, Dude” should now work correctly with Ice as well as Snow. Vander Graaf’s “Ball to the Wall” Perk should now alter the Ball Lightning weapon. Kira-chan’s “Thrills for Days” Perk no longer incorrectly alters the damage mechanics for the Katty Launcher. Trondson’s “Fire Lamps” Perk has been updated to make it clearer this adds the “Burning” effect. Doc Eliza’s “It’s Alive! Alive!” Perk has been updated to make it clearer how this affects her healing. Blocks and Block Skins Poison Bush now correctly counts as a Building Blocks for the Daily Challenges. Gift Wrapped Large Bomb Block Skin no longer has its name in all upper case. The following Blocks should now use their correct names when awarding Dust from Bounty Blocks: Tunnelling Torpedo Orbital Strike Beacon Bounce Pad Bricks Speed Block Marid's Boon Miasma Mine Lil' Buddy Ninja Shrine Tiki Head Popstar Portal Kreepy in the Box Ammo Crate Large Bomb description has been updated, as there’s now a more powerful bomb than it. Hero Tips Vander Graaf’s Hero tips have had a typographical error corrected. Trondson has had a small number of initial Hero tips added. Got more tips you think would be good for players new to Trondson? Leave us a suggestion! Balancing Block Buster Only tools will do damage to the Block Buster. Tools now do the same amount of damage to the Block Buster as they do to objectives. Block Buster hit points have been reduced to off-set the lower rate at which damage is dealt to it. Effectively, the Block Buster is now treated like an objective for dealing damage to it and releasing the Boost. This one’s a pretty significant change. We’ve had this on the Player Test Realm for a little while, and based on the feedback there this change is at least an interesting one which seems to have some support to see what it does in the wider game. This does now mean that the abilities of Heroes will no longer have an effect on how quickly you can break in to the Block Buster, but neither will weapons or Devices. This helps address one issue which has been raised to us; that Trondson in particular was able to break in to the Block Buster far too quickly, but it may also help to make fights over who gets the Block Buster more of a key endeavour as well.

Read on! ________________________________________ Bounty Blocks First up, Bounty Blocks. These beauties are a new way to obtain the following Block N Load goodies: Heroes Hero Skins Blocks Block Skins Block Dust, which allows you to upgrade blocks (more on that below). Bounty Blocks come in three tiers of rarity (Silver, Gold and Diamond), each giving you a better chance at rewards than the last. You can get Silver Bounty Blocks simply by logging into the game. Open it up, enjoy, then check back once four hours have passed for another. You’ll also get a chance at earning Bounty Blocks for each match you play to completion, with a chance to get a rarer Bounty Block if you win. Play hard for the best rewards! Finally, all three tiers of Bounty Block are available in the Shop. ________________________________________ Block Progression The refurbishment of Block N Load’s core systems continues, and this week we’re bringing you Block Progression. Every block in the game now has a level, and can be made more powerful by levelling them up with Block Dust. Check out the Block section your Profile in-game, where you can browse all blocks available in the game, and find out how they’ll improve as you upgrade them. ________________________________________ New Hero: Trondson The Block N Load roster just got one bigger with the arrival of Trondson: biker dwarf and blue-collar hero. His tireless work ethic, no-nonsense (but effective) combat style and deft hand with all manner of digging gear make him a versatile choice for Blockheads everywhere. Digging Tool: ‘Vibro-Shovel’. This complex device cuts through rocks like butter, and is also perfect for building and deconstructing objectives. Primary Weapon: ‘Sonic Staff’. This trusty tool is useful in a number of situations, but Trondson mostly uses it for taking out enemies with ear-bursting blasts of sonic energy. He also uses its alternate function to briefly detect all enemies in the vicinity. Secondary Weapon: ‘Kobold Lamps’. These enchanted light sources were meant to guide miners, but Trondson has a more direct application for them. When thrown, they’re pretty effective grenades. Alternatively, Trondson can use the alternate function to unleash the earth spirits in the lamps, and convert all blocks in the target area to stone. Active Ability: ‘Heigh-Ho!’. For a time, Trondson and nearby teammates deal more damage when digging through blocks. Passive Ability: ‘Tunnel Rat’. Trondson moves more quickly when crouched compared to other heroes. Trondson is available now in the Shop. ________________________________________ New Blocks There are three new blocks in game, just waiting to be incorporated into your devious strategies.

We’ve got a big batch of bug fixes too, for a smoother BnL experience than ever. Block N Load is a fun place to build forts and blast your friends, but it also needs to be fair. Cheating is an issue that we take very seriously, and today’s update takes a huge step towards addressing it. We’ve integrated EasyAntiCheat (EAC) into today’s Block N Load build: a proven, safe technology that’s formed part of many successful, competitive online games. It analyses both client- and server-side techniques, and smartly adds suspicious behaviour patterns to its database, preventing them from being used again. Everyone will now be prompted to update to the latest version of Block N Load, which will install EAC. Please note that Block N Load will no longer run without EAC installed. Bug Fixes Here are the latest fixes to the game, also included in today’s update: Aiming at the Block Buster Boost should no longer show the “do not attack” warning crosshair. Block Buster Boost should no longer be layered behind the skybox. Devices should now only show their health as changing when they are actively taking damage, instead of the next time you look at them after they’ve taken damage while you’re elsewhere on the map. Switching between Heroes on the ‘Your Heroes’ screen in the Profile section of the menus no longer causes RAM usage to continually increase. Vander Graaf’s Tesla Coils can only be charged one at a time, instead of multiple with a single shot. Objective (Base and Cube) hitboxes have been improved to better match the visuals of them. Vander Graaf’s Tesla Coils no longer infinitely charge themselves when placed in specific arrangements. Audio for Kira-chan’s Active Ability correctly stops when the final objective is destroyed. Buffs granted by Heal Stations and Ammo Crates at the maximum map height are no longer retained after leaving the area of the Blocks. The Hero you last played will now correctly be saved as the default for the next match. Falling Blocks should no longer cancel building. An exploit--where players could use perks and blocks from a different hero via a glitch on the profile page--has been fixed. A non-functional stat section of the menus has been disabled. Enjoy!

The Block N Load Team EasyAntiCheat & Bug Fixes GaloreNov 30, 2017 - Community Announcementshttp://cdn.edgecast.steamstatic.com/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/7219617/3900de865cb9596ed5b1b817ef2b879b5d039b00.jpg The world-leading game security solution has arrived in Block N Load, helping make the game fair for all players. We’ve got a big batch of bug fixes too, for a smoother BnL experience than ever. Block N Load is a fun place to build forts and blast your friends, but it also needs to be fair. Cheating is an issue that we take very seriously, and today’s update takes a huge step towards addressing it. We’ve integrated EasyAntiCheat (EAC) into today’s Block N Load build: a proven, safe technology that’s formed part of many successful, competitive online games. It analyses both client- and server-side techniques, and smartly adds suspicious behaviour patterns to its database, preventing them from being used again. Everyone will now be prompted to update to the latest version of Block N Load, which will install EAC. Please note that Block N Load will no longer run without EAC installed. Bug Fixes Here are the latest fixes to the game, also included in today’s update: Aiming at the Block Buster Boost should no longer show the “do not attack” warning crosshair. Block Buster Boost should no longer be layered behind the skybox. Devices should now only show their health as changing when they are actively taking damage, instead of the next time you look at them after they’ve taken damage while you’re elsewhere on the map. Switching between Heroes on the ‘Your Heroes’ screen in the Profile section of the menus no longer causes RAM usage to continually increase. Vander Graaf’s Tesla Coils can only be charged one at a time, instead of multiple with a single shot. Objective (Base and Cube) hitboxes have been improved to better match the visuals of them. Vander Graaf’s Tesla Coils no longer infinitely charge themselves when placed in specific arrangements. Audio for Kira-chan’s Active Ability correctly stops when the final objective is destroyed. Buffs granted by Heal Stations and Ammo Crates at the maximum map height are no longer retained after leaving the area of the Blocks. The Hero you last played will now correctly be saved as the default for the next match. Falling Blocks should no longer cancel building. An exploit--where players could use perks and blocks from a different hero via a glitch on the profile page--has been fixed. A non-functional stat section of the menus has been disabled. Enjoy! There’s more on the way very soon, so keep your eyes on the Block N Load news. Enjoy the game! The Block N Load Team A New Block N Load Era!Oct 19, 2017 - Community Announcementshttp://cdn.akamai.steamstatic.com/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/7219617/44d90b7161859ce8545f9679fcf8d0dbfe9a0812.jpg Dear Block N Load players, Block N Load has been free to play for two years, and that means it’s time to celebrate! We’re excited to announce that Block N Load will be receiving some much-needed development work, aiming to address some of the core issues that you have highlighted with the game. What does this mean? First up, we’re improving hack detection, and focusing on many of the more prominent issues that you’ve brought to our attention. We’re making these updates our top priority. We’ll get them to you as soon as possible, but it’s important that we take the time needed to get them right. As always, keep an eye on the Block N Load site for updates on our progress. Throughout this process, we will communicate with you as frequently as possible, and will need every bit of support and feedback that you can give us. We are in this boat together, and with your help, we will succeed. Community driven approach Two years ago, we promised player-led development for Block N Load. We weren’t able to fulfil that—for which we apologise. This time, though, we’re doing it right. Here at Jagex, we’re redoubling our efforts on this new approach – driven by your feedback and suggestions. Not only do we want to hear your thought on all things Block, but we’ll be right in there with you, playing matches with you, and appearing on streams. We want to shape Block N Load into the game we know it can be, but we can only do that with your help - in game, together with us. Let’s get started! To kick this off we have prepared a short video, where we address questions you might have and talk about what to expect in the near future. Watch the video now! If you can’t wait to share your ideas, please head on over to the forums! Enjoy!
