Added Swing-Arm-To-Run feature that can be activated while player is not in Fighting Stance and moving forward with thumb stick. This feature only covers forward direction. 2. Introducing a new core mechanic of PvP - Death Loop. Death Loop will be activated when there's contact between the players with/without weapons. Death Loop forces players into low moving speed with thumb stick, but DOF movement is never affected. Death Loop will stop in 5 seconds if there is no more contact. Upon activation of Death Loop, the entire world around you is focused on the opponent before you, both you and your opponent suffers 30% reduction on backward speed and 25% reduction on side step speed on top of 50% of general speed reduction, players are forced to stay within attack reach from each other, and have to utilize all their techniques, gears and body movement(DOF) to survive next second. Death Loop will not be triggered while mounted. Change Log: Added one AI Sparring Map. Added 4 more maps to Way Of Duelist (Singleplayer). Added 4 more maps to regular PvP match.
