Relic Hunters Legend - Patch Notes 0.8.7

Hey Hunters,

We have an exciting new patch update to help further update some quality-of-life improvements that have been suggested by YOU, the community! Keep the suggestions coming and we’ll continue to make Relic Hunters Legend the BEST game in all the galaxy!


To make sure your feedback continues to be heard, join our Discord!https://discord.gg/relichunters


=======================

• Jet Boots no longer required to be unequipped and equipped again in order to work
  
• Ultimate Skills being interrupted will no longer result in players being unable to move
  
• Nanocloak is no longer blocking players from using Skills
  
• When players start casting a Skill they will no longer get stuck if they are being pushed at the same time

During our testing, we found that the previous change to Raff (update 0.8.6) was no longer applying as intended. We've since re-applied the change to make sure she was at a comparable level to the other Hunters.

Hey Hunters,
It has been a wildly fun week! Super happy to see so many people from all over playing in our little world. We put a lot of love and care into it, and we hope it shows!
Of course, this is Early Access - so there are still some wrinkles to iron out. Make sure to make your voice heard by joining our Discord!

HOTFIX - September 29th
=======================

• Fixed an issue with the Privacy settings where setting your lobby to "private" would still allow for random people to join unless you restarted the game.
  
• We are still working on addressing an issue that was causing players to become stuck in a black screen when entering the Secret Market. This hotfix also includes a change that will return players to the World Map instead of becoming stuck. From there, you can rejoin the Secret Market!
