Facebook Issues Resolved

There were several reports that people had regarding the Legions app for Facebook and we are proud to report that these should now all be fixed.  

These include:

An infinite loading issue upon the first time of downloading the Legions app.

The leaderboards will now show more than the top 10 scores between your friends.  

Of course, let us know if you run into any other issues.

Legions on Facebook - Available Now!

Everyone here at InstantAction has been extremely busy working on the Legions Facebook App lately.  I wanted to run through some of the features that you can expect to see now that it is live.  At the bottom of this post you'll find the links to grab the app and get playing on Facebook.  Here we go!

Leaderboards - Compare your top times with others and see where you stand.
Map Flyovers - Each map has a flyover so you can see the obstacles.  Click for the videos.
Tutorial - Learn the ropes with this walk through of all the controls.
6 Maps - Including 4 completely new maps to time trials.
24 Routes - Each map has 4 different difficulty levels bringing the total amount of routes to 24.
New Beginner Routes - Having too much trouble with the harder routes?  Try something a little easier.

You can grab the app by clicking this link: Legions Facebook App

Get in there and start trying to grab those top times.  Invite your friends and see who's the best.

Thanks to everyone who worked on this to get it out the door.  It really looks great.

UPDATE:

There are currently 2 know issues for which we are working on fixes :

If you experience an infinite "Downloading Now" screen, refreshing your browser should begin the download again properly.  This is a temporary fix, we will have a proper one soon.

The Leaderboards are currently not displaying more than the 10 top scores. We know how badly you want to show up your friends (I know I do) and are working to have a remedy in place ASAP.

Just hang in there guys!  In the meantime, head over to the Legions forums to discuss this monumental occasion!

Facebook Photo Contest Winners - Outrider Gear, FTW!

We had a TON of awesome, destructive pics submitted on the Legions Facebook fan page.  This sounds cliche but we had a hard time picking the very best out of the 80+ submissions.  Congratulations to:

Legions Facebook App - Tomorrow

Tomorrow we are launching the Legions app on Facebook.  Time Trials, Leaderboards, bragging to friends, and more will be accessible to you tomorrow once the app goes live.  We'll give you all the information of what's in it tomorrow right here on the InstantAction blog, and don't worry, I'll add links so everything is simple and easy to find.

Legions Facebook Photo Contest - Win ALL the Outrider Gear

In celebration of the new Legions content, we are holding yet another Facebook photo contest.  Since we all love explosions - I dare you to find one person who doesn't - we figured everyone would enjoy some destructive pics.  Your mission is to take an in-game screenshot of the biggest and most creative explosion.  Upload your picture to the Legions fan page and tag your character with your Facebook profile name.  In addition, add a "comment" with your InstantAction username (so we know who you are).

The three best submissions will be awarded the COMPLETE set of Outrider skins and helmets.  The deadline is 7/6 so keep your finger on the "print screen" button and blow stuff up!

ZhouYu Caps in Legions

With the launch of all the new goodies in Legions today we wanted to show some impressive footage brought to us by the great ZhouYu.  I'll preface the video with his info from the youtube page.  Click here for the high def version.

Seeing as there is a new build of Legions coming out soon, I thought it might be time to capture some of my favourite caps from the old build.

Therefore this video is not composed of caps chosen for pragmatic value or efficiency, as after a year plus of playing efficiency no longer interests me overmuch. Instead these caps have been chosen because they both interest and challenge me. Some are certainly more challenging than others, the nivosus route especially.

The music is Pendulum - Propane Nightmares.

As ever, enjoy.
Zhou.

New Legions Map: Forgotten

In addition to all the good stuff that's coming next week, you'll be receiving a new map titled "Forgotten".  The Legions blog has just posted a new video with the map and something else that's not quite out yet.  Head on over to the Legions blog now to check it out.

Australian Dedicated Servers

Next week we'll be introducing Dedicated Servers for Legions in Australia.  Those folks down under have been asking for a while now that we get dedicated servers up, and can finally rejoice in the fact that they'll be able to play Legions smooth as butter.  That means no more blaming lag on your mid-air misses.  Prepare yourselves.
