- Change: “Go online” is now only shown when being in a blueprint area

[Update]
We just pushed another version (v-414-50bcc2e) as we introduced some visual glitches.

[Update 2]
There was another regression that offseted the night visually.

[Update 3]
There was an issue when starting on Intel Macs that should be solved now as well.

Thank you for reaching out to us and all of your support :)

• Added the ability to save the position of entities, making them "persisted."
  
• Removed more references to older/unused libraries.
  
• Fixed an issue with overlapping sounds.
  
• Fixed an issue with camera in first person locking to an obscure angle.

This is another hotfix build for the demo!

This build fixes some issues surrounding the cursor + the camera following it (especially in gamepad mode).

Fixes / Changes:

- Draw the grid cursor as a tall beam when entering the fog, so you can still find it
- Fix grid cursor secretly moving around in the menu or when ui is open
- Fix grid cursor starting in an odd place, now starts the same place consistently
- Fix camera snapping back after moving the grid cursor (e.g when entering the fog)

Thanks for all the players that reported issues and tested, we look forward to more feedback!

Hey everyone, we're excited to announce a new game we've been working on for several months: The Symbiant II!



Rhodias is a low-rank criminal. One day, an inexplicable urge prompts him to leave his gang behind and take to the distant mountains.

Being in the sacred Temple reveals unexpected things about him, including a primal hunger he didn’t know he had. Even stranger… he now has a new desire, he’s not so comfortable admitting: a desire for a close connection with the men he meets.

While most of our effort this patch was focused on improving balance, we also added some new Greater Trinkets (the ones you get from bosses). Each one is generically good on any team; their addition significantly reduces the chance of beating a boss and seeing no desirable rewards.

• Infernal Clock - Your units deal 1% more damage each second.
  
• Slushbrewed Coffee - Your units' MP costs are reduced by 10.
  
• Thunderous Plate - Your units gain Attack equal to 40% of their Defense and Magic equal to 40% of their Magic Def.

The big push this patch was to rebalance Greater Equipment, which simply accounted for too much of the player’s overall power level. I can say with confidence that the game feels better with these numbers toned down. Equipment still feels strong and meaningful despite the nerfs; their numbers were just insane before.

I won’t list every change here, but I’ll cover the broad strokes and provide details on items that changed the most.

• Lesser Equipment: Stats reduced by approximately 33%
  
• Greater Equipment: Stats reduced by approximately 25-50%
  
• All items: HP, Defense, Magic Def, and MP-cost-reduction stat amounts on items have gone up relative to other stats. (As all stat totals have gone down across the board, this means items with these stats have been hit less hard.)
  
• Faithful Memory: 100% of holder’s shield value as damage on-hit -> 40%
  
• Mirrorplate: now has a cooldown of 2.5 sec per attacker
  
• Demon-Killing Blade: Now has a 20-stack limit
  
• Double-Helix Rootstaff: No longer grants Attack Spd on-cast and Magic on-hit; now only grants Magic on-cast
  
• Crown of Etha: now has 7% Lifelink

Clerics are complicated because each one brings a different bonus to the team. These bonuses were individually powerful and useful, but if the player tried to build their team with all the Clerics, the bonuses (and a few of the units themselves) did not work well together. We’ve updated the Cleric Trait payoffs, a few of the individual bonuses, as well as Vleeli’s effect so that Clerics can play better together.

• Cleric Trait bonus amplification at 2 / 4 / 6 / 8: 20% / 40 % / 70% / 120% -> 20% / 50% / 90% / 150%
  
• Old-World Jar Cleric bonus: 10 Starting MP -> 10 Attack
  
• Faceless Cleric bonus: 20 Magic Def -> 20 Crit
  
• Vleeli
  
  • Cleric bonus: 5 MP cost reduction -> 20 Magic Def
    
  • Effect: Magic damage amplification to self and adjacent allies -> MP cost reduction to self and adjacent allies
• Moranbah
  
• Max MP: 70 -> 90
  
• Cleric bonus (healing amplification): 20% -> 10%
  
• Alruna cleric bonus: 25 Magic -> 20 Magic
  
• Hyacinth: 2.5% Attack Spd On-hit -> 2% Attack Spd On-hit

They’re still great to splash into any non-Cleric-focused team as well. Especially Hyacinth. He’s OP.

• (Items) Dreamblade nerfs (They’re still very good)
  
  • Quartz Dreamblade: 18% Strength / 50% Movespeed / Reap: Heal 300 -> 12% Strength / 30% Movespeed/ Real: Heal 150
    
  • Jade Dreamblade: 15% Strength / 50% Movespeed / Reap: Heal 300 -> 10% Strength / 30% Movespeed / Reap: Heal 150
    
  • Azure Dreamblade: 12% Strength / 50% Movespeed / Reap: Heal 300 -> 8% Strength / 30% Movespeed / Reap: Heal 150
    
  • Removed quirky interaction where Reap heal amounts were larger than expected due to the heal getting multiplied by the Strength value
• (Items) Necklace buffs
  
  • Surrelior Necklace of Ritual: Magic damage and MP generation reduction: 20% -> 15%
    
  • Vicilicar Necklace of Cunning: Physical damage and Attack Spd reduction: 15% -> 10%
    
  • Liberator’s Necklace of Utopia: Defense and Magic Def reduction, enemy Attack Spd increase: 15% -> 10%
    
  • (Also, renamed the above “...of Idealism” -> “...of Utopia”)
• (Items) Igneous Rock reworked to not be completely useless:
  
• The first, second, or third row on the enemy's board becomes Lava. When an enemy first steps on a Lava tile, they take 300 damage. They lose 50% Movespeed and take an additional 50 damage each second for 3 seconds.
  
• (Items) Hardened Ghost nerf: 100% chance to double an on-hit effect -> 33% chance. Pour one out for your boy.
  
• (Items) Bark of Elyggdrien buff (due to stat values being reassessed): 100 HP, 10 Defense -> 150 HP, 15 Defense
  
• (Items) Root of Elyggdrien Magic Def buff (due to stat values being reassessed): 10 -> 15
  
• (Units) Uma buffed; spell now grants paired ally more MP and shield
  
• (Enemies) Gallenthygg (final boss) damage slightly buffed

• Faceless
  
• Vulkathuna
  
• Kagakusha
  
• Flaxen Maiden
  
• (summon) Ideal of Perfection
  
• Jorintht Blaird

• Amalia
  
• Gregor
  
• Mildred Moon
  
• Moranbah
  
• Vleeli
  
• Wallace
  
• War

• Fixed a bug where tooltips were not showing up for Water rewards at Ruins

A series of UX / UI updates is on the horizon. The bottom-right portion of the screen (ie, inventory, "Next" button, "Engage" button) will likely be our first area of focus. Additionally, we suspect that the enemies on map 3 are too strong and probably need to be toned down.

Slowly but surely. It’s getting there.

• Selling an animal to the PnJ or turning it into meat now removes the animal from the team

• Added collisions for some PnJs
  
• Display of a counter when the player picks up a star

• Gatekeepers could get stuck on stairs in Elden Tree.
  
• Inferna was not displayed as a Rampant on the minimap.
  
• Incorrect burn damage calculation for Inferna.
  
• The Aeonic Elite ability that disables Gatekeeper cooldowns could sometimes persist after the Aeonic enemy's death.
  
• Under certain conditions, a Gatekeeper could get stuck in an animation, preventing the use of any skills.
  
• Opaline Elite’s HP bar sometimes did not appear when taking damage.
  
• Incorrect elite kill count for the Elite Hunter achievement.
  
• The Tested By Time achievement was not always obtainable.
  
• The Three Times Fooled achievement could be obtained by opening empty chests across different locations.
  
• Nidum’s Circular skill had no impact sound.
  
• Bastion’s Roar skill sound did not sync with the effect.
  
• Increasing the area of Pandora’s Lightning Conductor skill actually resulted in a smaller damage radius.
  
• Under certain conditions, Mediator could continue using Cranium Scatter while in Ghostwalk.
  
• Umbra was present in the database.
  
• Duality Sigil retained its damage reduction effect when destroyed in the Forge.
  
• Attacking the Dummy on Delta could cause the game to crash due to excessive effects (especially when playing as Mediator).
  
• Multiple players could pick up Halfmetal Head simultaneously in the lab at Brood’s Crest.
  
• Light from lamps on Delta could flicker at certain angles.
  
• Void Model lacked a gold outline when Supporter Pack was enabled.

• Legends Never Die achievement has been updated: Now, you must defeat an Elite Rampant to obtain it.
  
• Gnash’s shield now equals 50% of its max HP (previously, it was based on its current HP at the moment of casting).

• Reduced the push force applied to Gatekeepers by enemies.

• Elite status descriptions have been added to the database.
