What is up Depthians!

As always, back with more fixes and goodies.


We are happy to point out that From The Depths, now uses Steam Networking so this should resolve some issues people had in the past, but as always please send us any bugs here: https://brilliantskies.customercase.com/forums/bug-tracker. Leave us a small example blueprint if its component related rather than the full 1 million volume construct :p.
Please also include the output log.

If it's campaign issues send us the save file hopefully shortly before the issue happens and all the info needed to recreate any of the problems you encounter.
Save files can be found in C:\Users\YourUserName\Documents\From The Depths\Player Profiles\PlayerProfileName\Saves.

Hello Guys!

We would like to share a brand new gameplay trailer for The Tale of Bistun, a story-driven action-adventure game inspired by Persian culture in which players take control of the mysterious stone carver, with no memory of who he is, and traverse blighted lands to discover his identity and the source of a pleading, strangely familiar whisper.

This new action-packed trailer shows some of the amazing, magical locations players will be visiting in the game. Besides the passages hidden on the mountain slope, or temple ruins full of dangerous creatures, you can also see The Revelations Realm, a mystical place that allows you to discover, piece by piece, the story of The Tale of Bistun hero, and at the same time be a part of epic events in which light will face the darkness.





The game plot is based on one of the most popular Persian poems, a tragic love story between Sasanian king Khosrow II and the Armenian princess Shirin. In some aspects, it could be compared to Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet.

We are also very proud to announce that Marc Thompson, known from cartoons such as Pokemons, Yu-Gi-Oh, or audiobooks from the Star Wars series is voicing a narrator of The Tale of Bistun and preview of his work can be seen in the trailer. His voice will accompany players throughout the entire journey, allowing them to delve into the amazing story presented in the game.

The PC version of the game will be published by IMGN.PRO - with release date and other platforms yet to be announced!

That’s all for now guys, thank you for your support :)


Check out the new gameplay trailer and remember to wishlist The Tale of Bistun on Steam!

Event
Chop Til’ You Drop

• Hey mercs, how’s the holiday shopping going? If you need some extra dosh, there’s an easy solution, keep killing Zeds of course! For that, we suggest you visit the new map, Carillon Hamlet, a small town that was preparing for the holiday until a bunch of obnoxious elves burst into their production line. Additionally, you can try the 2 new weekly modes that will challenge your killing skills: face all the bosses in a row in the Boss Rush, or experience Shrunken Heads where headshots will not be an option. Finally, The Horzine Research Group has launched a new product on the market for this Christmas campaign, the HRG Stunner, a new handy tool to help the SWAT mercs shine.
  
• Beta 2 Start 11/30/2021, (Date is subject to change)

Addressed Community Feedback
As mentioned in the 2020 Killing Floor 2 ‘State of the Game’ our goal is to bring to the community a continued stream of QOL changes for each update throughout the year. Please continue to report any QOL changes you believe should be added to the game by submitting your feedback in the ‘general’ section on our official forums at: https://forums.tripwireinteractive.com/forum/killing-floor-2


General

• Seasonal objectives
  
  • Heads for sale description updated
    
    • New description: Kill 1000 Zeds with headshots on any map or mode

Balance

• Weapons
  
  • Doshinegun
    
    • Sell price reduced from 450 to 100.
      
    • Impact damage increased from 55 to 60.
      
    • Upgrade damage boost increased from 20% to 23% for each level of upgrade.
      
    • Dosh cost of each round reduced from 25 to 20 (fullmag cost reduced from 500 to 400).
  • HRG Stunner
    
    • Weight increased from 6 to 7.
  • VLAD-1000 Nailgun
    
    • Spread of default fire mode reverted to original value.
• Bosses
  
  • Abomination
    
    • Freeze rate reduced by 40%.
      
    • Freeze cooldown increased from 10 to 15 seconds.

Designer Notes :
First of all, we updated the Heads for sale seasonal objective description to avoid the confusion that the previous term “decapitate” was generating. In KF2 “decapitate” does not always mean “kill by a headshot”, as some Zeds may remain headless but alive for some a short period afterwards, and in this case it was not progressing the objective.

When you buy the Doshinegun in the trader, it comes with a magazine full of dosh. We have reduced the sell price to offset this added value, preventing an exploit that generates infinite dosh. Besides that, we improved the efficiency of the weapon in terms of damage and economy, having cheaper rounds that deal more damage.

We are happy about the current state of the HRG Stunner as a more supportive weapon for the SWAT. It may not have the best damage output of the SWAT arsenal but it offers a lot of utility with the stunning capacity of the alt-fire. Even so, we thought that it was too light for all that it offers so we increased the weight by 1.

The adjustments of the VLAD-1000 Nailgun were well received, but we went too far reducing the spread of the primary fire so we reverted this adjustment to the original value.

Finally, we agree with some community feedback about the Abomination being too vulnerable to crowd control effects so we increased its resistance to the Freeze effect, but keeping the knockdown linked to its armor as a unique mechanic of this boss.

Greetings, this is MIR4.

Character Creation and transfer to NA11 server through Wayfarer Travel system will be restricted for server stabilization until temporary maintenance scheduled on December 1st, 2021 09:00 AM (UTC+8)

Please be assured that Character Creation and Wayfarer Travel system will become available after the scheduled temporary maintenance.

We sincerely apologize to the Dragonians who are playing on NA11 server for the inconvenience.
Thank you.

The corridor is our showcase. It’s the first room we see when we enter our house or other places, so we need to focus on the functionality of this room and, of course, on the furniture. It is worth bringing decorations and accessories to the front.

The key to success in finishing any interior design is consistency. A small room will visually gain a few centimeters if we focus on light colors (beige, gray, white, etc.).

A bright corridor doesn't have to be boring. You can break the monotony by painting one wall in a darker color. Brick walls or properly selected wall decorations can also be a nice change.

Some of the most commonly used in wall decorations:

• brick or stone
  
• wall cladding
  
• wall panel
  
• decorative wallpaper
  
• mural
  
• decorative plasters

For the floor, the most commonly used are:

• wooden parquet
  
• laminate panels
  
• porcelain tiles
  
• resin
  
• stone
  
• PVC floor coverings

How would you decorate the corridor walls?

Use mirrors, as they optically enlarge space and work great when paired with paintings and wall lamps, illuminated strips, or even bookshelves. To finish it off, a table with a flower vase and a fluffy rug will beautifully warm the corridor interior.

It's been a crazy month, as could be expected from the first month of Early Access. The community, on Steam forums and on discord, have been incredibly supportive and helpful, for which I will be eternally grateful. Listening to their feedback the game has improved considerably.

A new playable tutorial should greatly help with new player experience, and the messages received each turn are now far more customisable, allowing the players to choose which messages to receive as immediate alerts, and which to leave to be consulted after the most critical issues of the turn have been dealt with. These go along with a set of other UI improvements, which hopefully lead to a much smoother gameplay experience. If your suggestion hasn't made this update, fear not, many are still on the to-do list, and will be implemented in the coming weeks.

Gameplay-wise, the game has added a host of new features. Armies can now do battle on a larger scale, with multiple armies involved on either side, with heroes and agents leading the forces as commanders or directly raiding the enemy's flanks as skirmishers. The Dark Empire grows in complexity with the ability to inaugurate a new Dark Emperor or Empress, using the Dark Coronation event chain, which lets you replace The Monarch should she fall, to carry on the unholy task.

A new agent joins the menagerie, The Trickster (along with her pet monkey Mister Edgar). She tests out a new mechanic, altering the way profile and menace are allocated to the agents when they complete their challenges. In this case, she can place false clues to trick the heroes into believing that one of them is the guilty party, not your agent, and cause widespread confusion and anger while your forces are free to continue their insidious crimes.

Alongside that, interpersonal relations begin their first updates, which will be carried on in the next month. Heroes now have friendships with one another, and grow angered if their friend is killed, creating emergent networks of friends and enemies between agent and heroes, as personal grudges are formed based on your actions. The Trickster can play into this, being able to form friendships with heroes, leading to resentment between them if she is killed.

Next Month's Update

These relations will be continued throughout the next month's development, with the upcoming Bloodlines update, which will focus on families. A huge range of storytelling options open themselves up when the heroes and rulers' motivations are expanded. If a king executes a duke for participating in a civil war, how will their family respond? Would they hate the king along, or his entire family? If a hero is forced to kill their child who you corrupted, how do they respond? Would their sanity survive this, and would the sin corrupt them too? And if a family is linked by shared blood, could this blood itself not become corrupted, leading to entire generations of damned individuals, born under your dark curse?

Changes since last update

Gameplay:

-Armies no longer pursue forever
-Rulers now die when their settlement is razed, and leave human souls behind when killed
-World panic from god now no longer relates to seals, but instead grows by the same amount each turn until the god awakens
-Added new agent: The Trickster, who has a varied set of powers to confuse and deceive heroes
-Added minimum profile and menace values for gaining a nemesis
-Armies, including orcish ones, should no longer path through hostile territory while at peace (if possible)
-Dark Coronation allows new leader of the Dark Empire to be assigned if The Monarch dies
-Orcish Warlords can now recruit a raiding force to act as a small military unit
-Heroes can now spawn with existing friendships
-Heroes can now save one another from shadow. They strongly favour doing this for friends
-The Chosen One can now redeem rulers, curing them of shadow, potentially saving entire nations. Rulers then like the CO, and are more prone to joining the Alliance as a result
-Orcs periodically occupy ancient ruins if adjacent
-Shadow now decays over time in The Alliance (in Strong Alliance mode)
-Characters can now develop hates towards people who kill their friends

Other:

-Events involving a person now give all the person's stats on the side
-Sped up tutorial a bit, and changed its wording slightly
-Added new trait titles (e.g. Exorcist) and made last-acquired trait the title, to reduce spam of 'mediator so-and-so' heroes

Bugfixes:

-Safeguards added to prevent re-joining a battle you are already in, thereby duplicating armies in-battle
-Fixed turn idle message not appearing for corrupted heroes
-Potential bugfix to returning to normal agent mode after being an orcish raider
-Fixed crash involving multiple defender armies vs single attacking army
-Fixed UI crash involving agents involved in battle
-Fixed issue where an army dealing damage an agent could crash the game
