Change is Coming... Video
Most of the information which is known comes from the video that BanTech released, called "Change is Coming...", shown on the right.
The update is mainly gameplay-focused instead of network-focused, in a way like V1.3. Among the major features are the new Guard roles and the last few Previous Generation trains being upgraded.
Official Update Features
- Addition of the Guards role and HUD, along with interaction with drivers and dispatchers.
- Changes to the driving HUD to accommodate guards.
- End of passenger loading procedure changed to require driver input to close doors.
- 5 bonus points for each stop if you have a guard for the entire loading procedure.
- Dispatch procedure split accordingly to provide close doors approval followed by final dispatch approval once doors are shut. Dispatch baton displays green for final dispatch.
- Changed the behind-the-scenes workflow for receiving and processing payments to ensure points aren't lost, even when Datastores or API are being dodgy.
- Class 165, 166, 380 and 730 upgraded to next-gen, completing the replacement of all old "paper" fleet trains. Interiors and doors will no longer be referred to as next-gen.
- Edgemead OFF indicators added.
- Faymere dispatching enabled.
- Reliability improvements to edge cases where dispatchers are assigned or removed mid-loading to prevent being stranded.
- Class 165/1 added at no extra cost with 165/0 purchase.
- New Loading gui, now with stripes instead of solid colour
- New Role GUI
Trivia
- The only WaterLine trains that have the old livery are Class 319 and Class 508.
- When this update is launched, some of the new servers' player limit is increased to 30.
- Previous Generation trains were not compatible with Guards.
