Steam Build #24353
This update contains some significant changes to Endless Harvest brought about by feedback and observation.

It’s important to us that Endless Harvest is an exciting, tense experience. Some of the balance and structure in the first deployment make it possible to advance through what we consider an excessive amount of kills (1000+!) which results in a drawn out experience lacking some of the tension and excitement that we feel is vital. These changes have been made to try to keep the experience “punchy”, while still retaining that incentive and challenge of bettering your kill counts...without requiring a dozen or more hours for a single deep run. We hope that you find them to be good changes for the long term health of the mode, just as we do!

• Once you have progressed beyond 200 Kills, the shimmering space-time of the corrupted Farmstead takes on an endgame condition, called a “Reflection.” These are mutators that increase the difficulty of the quest in different ways from that point onward.
  
• Unbearable Reflection:
  
  • Heroes: +33% Stress Dmg Received
    
  • Heroes: -33% Stress Heal
    
  • Monsters: +4 SPD
• Reflection of Decay:
  
  • Heroes: -50% Healing
    
  • Monsters: +15% PROT
    
  • Monsters: +25% Stun Resist
    
  • Monsters: +25% Debuff Resist
• Sanguine Reflection:
  
  • Heroes: -8% Deathblow Resist
    
  • Monsters: +7.5% Crit
    
  • Monsters: +3 SPD
• Reflection Obscura:
  
  • Heroes: -20% Stress Damage Received (a boon!)
    
  • Heroes: -20% Healing
    
  • Monsters: +10% PROT
    
  • Monsters: +25% Damage

These conditions stack on top of other Light conditions already present in whatever room you are present in the Farm or Space and Time.

Battle Limited skills with battle-long durations were balanced for the normal game structure. In Endless Harvest, this resulted in them being overpowered because a given combat lasts much longer than a normal 4-monster combat.

Now in Endless Harvest, Battle Limited skills don’t refresh until the end of a given wave *group* instead of refreshing after each wave. This helps with the balance and creates some tension around when you should pop and lock those Leper combos.

Shard Dust, however, now carries the additional benefit of refreshing battle limited skills on an individual heroes. This is a zany idea that we think can be compelling and give you some additional tactical options. Of course, don’t hit that dust too much, or it will leave the hero worn out.

Darkest Dungeon

• Japanese Localization added for Darkest Dungeon, The Crimson Court, and The Shieldbreaker. (The Color of Madness is coming).
  
• SOME SAY THAT CRITSMAS WENT TOO FAR. (Critsmas was when we increased crit %s AND added the OnCrit Buffs for each hero.) They are basically right. We have tweaked a number of crit values (skills, trinkets) down a bit to account for those OnCrit Buffs that were a late addition. Crits are still net+ from pre-Color of Madness release.
  
• Total Scouting chance can now be seen as a tooltip on the Quest Provision screen.
  
• Shambler loot increased
  
• Champion Bone Courtiers should drop their special Chalice more often now
  
• Moved Laudanum glossary entry to base game (from CC)
  
• Fix to crash when killing siren with controlled hero with reflect damage.
  
• Swinetaur brain improvements: hooked PIG SPEAR back up (it went missing!) and improved logic of Trot Retreat
  
• Added buff/debuff+ icons to quest length duration buffs/debuffs.
  
• Fix to double riposte overriding corpse crit clear.
  
• Fix to centered icons swapping sides.
  
• Carrion eater ACC++ on their main attacks
  
• Fix to alpha curio bug in battle.
  
• Leper crit tuning
  
• reworded Help strings referencing Retreat Flag to say "Retreat Icon (which looks like an "X")"

• Town buffs and debuffs now use the new Buff+ and Debuff+ icons.
  
• Add ability to modify combat speed in the rules file.
  
• Fix to removing mortality debuff camping skills and the has had heart attack flag cleared.
  
• Riposte now won't trigger attack additional effects.
  
• Game now saves every time you sell a trinket.

• Fixes spawn monster effect rendering in front of summoner during summon.
  
• Fixed retreat raid button from popping up during teleport
  
• Updated localization

Crimson Court

• Adjusted Infestation - Players have consistently reported some dissatisfaction around the number of Bloodsucker spawns in dungeons during periods of High Infestation. In order to better preserve each dungeon’s identity, High Infestation has had the following adjustments:
  
  • Overall amount of hallway Bloodsucker encounters reduced, so as to not overwhelm a dungeon’s native population.
    
  • Egg Sac curios appear at High Infestation, allowing players an opportunity to opt-in to a Bloodsucker fight and farm Blood and Invitations.
• Fixed a typo on CC Bleed Res Debuff 5 (ie. Champion monsters will now correctly apply bleed resistance debuffs to some of their attacks.)
  
• Fix to countess not showing skill names on transforms

Shieldbreaker

• We have been concerned to see feedback that some players believe the Shieldbreaker flashback battles are never-ending and therefore the SB isn’t given as much value as she deserves. We’ve implemented a few things to help communicate that there are only 7 flashbacks and they only need passed once. (Not once per recruited SB.)
  
• Added a tutorial for flashbacks.
  
• Flashbacks now have a 50% chance of happening on a given quest.

• Fix to being able to retreat from a flashback.
  
• Fix to immediately switching to room after not ambush camp and be visible sitting.

The Color of Madness

• Reflections (see above)
  
• Change to Battle Limited skill refreshment while in Endless Harvest (see above)
  
• Wave spawned monsters now are placed more intelligently. (Front rank monsters will more reliably be placed in front; back rank monsters will more reliably be placed in back.)

• Fix sorting of shard recruits.
  
• Remove raid buffs when dying and going to time and space.
  
• Remove plot quest required quirk heroes (shard recruits) from being calculated in hero level requirement for town events (vulf).
  
• Added refreshing of skills in curio rooms
  
• Abomination has an exception for his transformation
  
• Shard dust refreshes skills when used
  
• Remove roster limit quirk heroes ( shard recruits ) from being included in goals.
  
• Adding colour_grades to monster art files. In particular Galaxy and Spire.
  
• Geologic Study hall should no longer increase stacking of Tapestries and Antiquarian treasures
  
• Fix to torch settings persisting after death in time and space.
  
• Added Kill Count to Wave UI
  
• Lowered Thing roaming icon on quest select screen to reduce overlap on 4th position quest icons above it
  
• FIXED bug where once you've finished endless, game would reroll quests everytime you start it
  
• Remove map references from help menu in wave raid.
  
• Remove quest modifier buffs when you die and go to time and space.

• Fixed bug w/ crystal overlays
  
• Sleeper's caretaker goal should now function correctly
  
• Increased Crystal Aberrations stun resist 400 from 200 (This is to prevent it from surviving until wave reinforcement, resulting in bugs)
  
• Fixed and issue around reloading a save during a turn where multiple Crystal Aberrations self-destructed resulting in one of the crystal surviving and causing an assert with wave reinforcements.

Modding

• You can disable new Virtue loss at high stress and return to legacy system through an entry in Rules.json ("virtue_can_lose_from_stress" : false)
  
• Added tag based quirk evolution duration buff.
  
• Added a cure disease effect
  
• Add variable to disable buff description.
  
• Ability to have additional mashes based on quirk tags
  
• Fix to mod support bug where hp dot duration percent mods where not being applied.
  
• Added ability for multi target effects to have individual rolls on targets

• Corrected some Korean Localization bugs
  
• Added missing strings for all languages

With this build we added the new Korean Localization provided by BADA Games. This new localization has replaced the old Korean and is selectable by choosing Korean (한국어) in the language select. Korean B or 한국어 (B) is the old localization which is still being re-worked by the original translator firm.

Thank you for your patience while we corrected the localization, and we hope you enjoy the new version.

Darkest Dungeon

• The Collector: Man At Arms head now has a damage + stun attack. Vestal head now has a damage + stress attack. Also they should augment the offensive Dismas head better. This should make Collector less exploitable for stalling.

Greetings Hamlet Dwellers!

We have been delivered the second Korean translation, done by BADA Games, who created the original fan translation.

We are currently working on getting it implemented. Part of that work is a new font that was voted on from a poll BADA circulated to players. We hope this new font will be more legible and more to your liking.

Once we have this translation hooked up we will post again on how to access it before it gets pushed live. Both BADA and us would like to hear your feedback on the quality of the new translation.

We still have the original translation being revised as well, and we plan to provide that as an alternate once it's ready.

다키스트 던전 유저들에게 :



오늘 한국의 현지화 개선에 대한 계획에 관해 업데이트되었습니다. 여러분 중 많은 분들과 마찬가지로, 우리는 번역이 내부적으로 우리가 설정 한 고품질 목표에 부합하지 않는다는 사실을 듣고 극도로 좌절하고 실망했습니다. 우리는 또한 한국 플레이어들이 원래 의도했던 것보다 훨씬 오래 번역을 기다리고 있음을 인정합니다.

이 권리를 달성하는것은 우리에게 우선 순위입니다.

우리의 계획은 다음과 같습니다.

우리는 사용 된 현지화 회사에 연락했으며 추가적인 자원과 감독을했습니다. 기존 현지화는 관리 할 수있는 한 빨리 개선 될 것이며, 업데이트 된 버전이 출시되면 귀하의 의견을 환영 할 것입니다. 아직 현지화 업체로부터 예상 대기 시간 를받을 수는 없지만 이러한 상황이 급박하다는 점에 깊은 인상을 받았습니다.
우리는 두 번째 현지화 회사와 계약을 맺고 게임의 개별화 된 완벽한 현지화를 진행하기 위해 녹색 조명을 제공했습니다. 이 두 번째 팀의 구성원은 원래의 팬 번역을 ​​만드는 데 관여했으며 커뮤니티는 그 번역이 상당히 훌륭했다고 생각합니다. 그들은 우리에게 약 2 주 정도의 견적을주었습니다.
게임 내 한국어 현지화를 모두 구현할 계획이며 궁극적으로 어느 번역이 게임에 적합한 지 선택할 수 있도록 사용자 의견을 환영합니다.

레드 훅 (Red Hook)에서는 개발 노력을 고도로 연마하려고 노력합니다. 우리는 이러한 철학에 맞춰 한국의 현지화를 계속하기 위해 노력할 것입니다. 동시에 두 가지 번역 작업을 통해 가능한 한 빨리 훌륭한 한국어 경험을 얻을 수있는 최고의 기회를 드리겠습니다.



Dear Darkest Dungeon players:

Today we have an update for you regarding our plans to tackle the Korean localization improvements. Like many of you, we were extremely frustrated and disappointed to hear that the translation was not up to the high quality bar that we set for ourselves internally. We also acknowledge that we kept Korean players waiting for the translation much longer than we originally intended.

Making this right is a priority for us.

Here’s our plan:

1. We have contacted the localization company we used, and they have brought additional resources and oversight to bear. The existing localization will be improved as quickly as they can manage, and we will welcome your feedback when the updated version goes live. We do not have an ETA for this from the localization company yet, but we have impressed upon them the urgency of this situation.
   
2. We have contracted a second localization company, and have given them the green light to proceed with a seperate, complete localization of the game. Members of this second team were involved in making the original fan translation, and the community seems to feel it was by and large pretty solid. They have given us an estimate of approx 2 weeks.
   
3. We plan to implement BOTH Korean localizations in-game, and will welcome your feedback on them so we can ultimately choose which is the best one for the game.

At Red Hook, we endeavor to bring a high degree of polish to our development efforts. We will continue to work to bring the Korean localization in line with that philosophy. By working on both translations simultaneously, this gives us the best chance of having a great Korean language experience as soon as possible.

Once again, our sincere apologies,

--Red Hook Studios
