NewNews - Rusty Hearts Update Delayed

While everyone was waiting for Battlefield 3's release on October 25, I was waiting for the release of Beat-em-up MMO Rusty Heart's 4th character Natasha.

Natasha is unique in being the only character out of the four to use a non-melee weapon and abilities that don't fall into a combo (such as deploying a turret).  So the problem right now is that it's the afternoon of October 26 and Natasha is still not playable.  I checked the official page and found out that there was a problem in trying to update the game last night to implement her in.  It is now set to update sometime today in the evening, and the anticipation is driving everyone nuts!  I know for sure that when I log in there will be Natashas everywhere, but that's what usually happens when a new character is introduced to a game.

To those who haven't come across this magnificent game: Rusty Hearts is a Free-to-Play Online Beat-em-up where players journey through sewers and a castle to put down the evil Vlad from his reign of terror.  Players can party up to 4 players and fight countless monsters.  There's also the option for competitive PvP if you like fighting other players.  If you're still in the dark as to what Rusty Hearts is, read my review.  Or better yet, click either on the official site or steam page on top to play as it is a free online game!

My main interest in Natasha is the faster attack speed compared to the other characters (well, maybe except Tude) as well as her flashy combos that has a similar resemblance to Dante from Devil May Cry when choosing "Gunslinger" style.  Also, it might be easier to stay out of harms way as Natasha is the only ranged character in the game.  The only thing I'm worried about is damage output and input.  It doesn't matter how flashy her combos are if she can't deal that much damage and loses half her hp bar from one hit.  I guess I'll find out when the update finally launches.
