"Cornelius, my beak is sore." "Cornelius, my neck stocks are chafing." "Oh Cornelius, can you look at this foul smelling discharge?" The complaints just never seem to end.

Hello, Cornelius Richling here again and if you're tired of hearing chickens complain about rancid beaks, Derps worried about the loss of limbs or any creatures nagging you about well, dying, I've got just the thing for you!

Introducing NURSE REVERSE. She may not be the first health care worker with sunken eyes and penchant for causing more harm than good, but she does have some basic training and a horrible bedside manner.

While she will not actively hurt anyone, this support character will help mute the death rattle of your castle creatures.

Nurse reverse casts a field effect on the ground that, while inside, any attacking heroes' damage is REVERSED, healing instead of damaging. For every point of damage they might have caused (so long as they are affected by Nurse Reverse) they will cause that much HEALING. Pretty sneaky, right?

 

So craft this angel of mercy today! Turn your castle into the HEARSE-ing home it's meant to be!

They will be unlocked following the crafting lab progression (like any other creature) mimicking the same type of unlock progression as the ones in the Infinite pack.

 

Opulencians,

Revamped Game Introduction Tutorial & Quests!
The team has spent a lot of time reworking the very beginning of the game for new players. There you'll find new mission castles, new characters and more Opulencian shenanigans! Along with this, we have introduced a number of lower level Quests made specifically for new players. Fear not, however! Players of all level will have access to them. Even if they are likely too easy for mid-to-high level players we recommend spending some quality looting time here…. just maybe they'll contain a little hidden surprise... These new castles can also be found in the Competition zones.





 





Please Note: These will appear on your HUD, but can only be completed in the first region, so head to Little Spitaly!

Balancing

For the new players tutorial we boosted the Archer Piercing skill in the following way:

• Level 1 now has a base of 25, with a Skill Damage (Base damage + Gear damage) multiplier of 1.5
• Level 2 now has a base of 0, with a Skill Damage (Base damage + Gear damage) multiplier of 1.75
• Level 3 now has a base of 0, with a Skill Damage (Base damage + Gear damage) multiplier of 2.0

The skill now causes damage that is slightly higher than the base Ballista of a similar level

And also for the Mage Flameburst, we boosted the following :

• Level 1 now has a base of 0, with a Skill Damage (Base damage + Gear damage) multiplier of 2
• Level 2 now has a base of 0, with a Skill Damage (Base damage + Gear damage) multiplier of 2.5
• Level 3 now has a base of 0, with a Skill Damage (Base damage + Gear damage) multiplier of 3

Some skills at early levels are unlocked in a different order.

Improvements
 

• The HP of the following barricades and mines have been slightly lowered at early levels:
  • Bookcases
  • Crates
  • Gold Mine
  • Life Force Mine
• Skyboxes in defend mode have had a huge overhaul to enhance them:
  • New shaders and textures are used for the clouds and the sea.
  • The ground has been remodeled with a lot more detail, for more variety between regions

New XP Curve

We’ve revised the XP curve to time the amount of levels that a Hero will gain at the start of the game, for a better experience and while we were at it, we’ve revised the end of the curve so that you can now get to level 30 a little faster. You will notice that while you are still at the same level and relative position, it will now be easier/faster to reach the next level. Note that it also means that it should now be faster to level up that 2nd hero (and 3rd and 4th…) that you might want to start…


Revive Costs

We’ve revised the cost of Revive, to bring them more in line with the amount of Gold players should have.
The new Revive costs, in gold, per levels are:

• 1: Free
• 2-5: 500
• 6-10: 750
• 11-15: 1250
• 16-20: 2500
• 21-25: 7500
• 26-30: 15000

Other Changes
 

• Rare creatures & traps cannot be sold on the Steam Market anymore as per last week's announcement. Items currently on sale will remain in their current state until sold or cancelled.
• New background icons on skills bar.

Bug Fixes
 

• Resolved an issue where the client could crash while focusing on the chat panel.
• Resolved an issue where the attack selection would be a black screen while video settings are set to low configuration with the distortion enabled.
• Resolved an issue where the Options panel did not correctly display the text in the Portuguese version.
• Resolved an issue where the client could randomly crash upon closing a window.
• Fixed numerous issues where audio would continue to play after a creature was killed.

Opulencians,

We were about to close the doors to the crafting cabinet and we thought, "Isn't it great that ALL RARE CREATURES AND TRAPS ARE AVAILABLE FOR CRAFTING?" and decided to keep this event going for another week! Craft up to 5 of each for 7 MORE DAYS. After that well, no.

Also a reminder to all; as part of our effort to remove all P2W routes in the game, starting this Thursday, there will be no more selling of rare creatures and traps on the Steam market anymore (those already on sale will stay on sale, but no more will be added). Vanity items will still be sellable.

Don't stand there with the cabinet door open, get crafting! Who's paying the 'lectric bill here anyway?

This week, the Mage is available for free from Thursday 12h00pm until the beginning of next week. Here are the conditions to get a discount on its cost in Blings:

• Reach level 5: 50 Blings discount
  
• Reach level 10: 150 Blings discount
  
• Reach level 12: 350 Blings discount
  
• Reach level 15: 650 Blings discount

Note: Due to the functionality of the replays, all replays prior to this update have become invalid.

• Various tooltips have had their description revised to be more consistent throughout the game.
  
• The Big Crate HP has been slightly reduced to be in line with the other barricades of the same size.
  
• New icons for XP boosts to better represent their differing durations.
  
• Tweaks to the collision box has been done to all the items below to help the hero navigating around these items rather than stopping:
  
  • Hot Roller
    
  • Hamster Wheel
    
  • Acid Cannon
    
  • Ballistic Cannon
    
  • Sadistic Cannon
    
  • Christmas barricades

• Resolved an issue where the client would crash if trying to craft an item while the inventory is full.

• Resolved an issue where Gold Boosts were not included in the resource production per hour on the mines panel.
  
• Resolved an issue where the button "esc" would be disabled after changing settings from the options menu.
