NPCs have temporarily been removed from Round Team Match.
If no opponents are found in Matchmaking, the timeout duration has been increased to a maximum of 10 minutes.
Added the Player Grade system.
■Player Grade
Player Grade is a system that displays a player's skill level based on their grade, which is determined by the number of wins and losses during an ACT.
To rank up to a higher grade, players must earn points by winning matches. Losing a match will decrease the player's accumulated points.
Points earned vary depending on the game mode: - Round Team Match: Win +3, Loss -1 - Stock Team Match: Win +1, Loss -1 *Note: In the case of the highest grade "PRESIDENT", Loss -2
There are 8 different grades. Players start from "IRON" at the beginning of an ACT and can rank up to "PRESIDENT" based on their total points.
- IRON - BRONZE - SILVER - GOLD - PLATINUM - DIAMOND - MASTER - PRESIDENT
When ranking up to a certain grade, players will receive a badge displaying the SEASON, ACT, and the achieved GRADE, which will be sent to their Mailbox as a reward.
When an ACT ends, the next ACT will start with all players returning to IRON.
Players can choose to show or hide their GRADE from others by using the Player Card Edit menu in the Closet.
■Bug Fix
Fixed an issue where HERMIT's Boost Dash sound was not playing.
Fixed an issue where some attacks would not hit or destroy HERMIT's skill "Guard Wall".
A majestic stone from distant realms speaks! I’ve heard that some of you tried to find constellations but couldn’t spot a single star in the sky. Let’s give it another go—this time with an updated star map that will be your guide through the night sky.
What changed:
1. The star map is now closer to reality. Compare the in-game night sky to the stars above your head. Maybe this time, you’ll catch a glimpse of your favorite constellation.
2. Observe the Northern Lights in wintertime. Those who choose to brave the cold nights will witness a wondrous display—mysterious ribbons of light dancing across the sky.
3. Fixed musical transitions for sunrise and sunset. Now, melodies seamlessly accompany the shifting light on the horizon, without pulling you away from the beauty of day and night.
4. Minor optimization work. Everything is a bit more stable, though still somewhat demanding on your hardware. We continue to improve performance.
May the stars illuminate your path, and may the Northern Lights inspire you to new heights! And remember: even the most motionless stone can share in your awe of the vast cosmos.
Trials descriptions were cut off on some resolutions. They are now fully visible. The challenge name now appears in the character panel. Mousing over it displays details about the challenges and mutators. The “Slimy” modifier and its description should now appear correctly in exotic pet previews. Various typos and inaccurate descriptions have been fixed or updated. Heaven’s Vengeance Staff now has VFX for its retaliation damage. Summon Simulacrum spell and its upgrades now have associated assets.
New Rare Monsters: Shrapnel Beast: Living Fire Metal 3x3, that will harass you with Shrapnel Blasts, destroy melee units with AOE spikes, and throw molten spears at you. Oh yeah, and physical->fire damage conversion for its enemies. Animikii: The OG 3x3 thunderbird, fires off huge blasts of lightning, summons more thunderbirds, and has a retribution mechanic if you kill its allies. Mothman : A 3x3 butterfly demon with regenerating shields and huge blasts of arcane and lightning damage. Ultimate Troubler: A 3x3 troubler, that shoots a barrage of teleporting bolts, sending units randomly across the map. Crystal Golem: A golem creature made of living crystal, its color changes to reflect its spells' current damage type and its own vulnerability.
Spells & Skills:
Lightning Form only expires if you fail to cast a lightning spell on your turn. Chaos Casting only triggers on chaos spells cast by the wizard, not by allies. Starfire Gate behavior now matches that of Flame Gate. Plague of Undeath only targets valid creatures, and its upgrade creates zombies even on creatures with other respawn methods. The Dark Clouds upgrade for Darkness is now functional. Soul Tax can now target allies, as per the original description. Iceball’s Cloud Combustion upgrade correctly shows affected tiles when targeting a blizzard. Armageddon Blade is only castable on allies, and the Mass Armaments upgrade shows which allies are in the linked group. Rain of Thunderbolts now prioritizes clouds containing enemies over clouds without, and wont target tiles occupied by the wizard or their allies. Fixed a Wheel of Death crash that could occur with the Cheat Fate upgrade if only targets with 100% or greater Dark resistance were available. Natural Vigor is no longer duplicated on reincarnated allies. Summon Simulacrum name changed to: Wizard Replica. Wizard Replica Colossus upgrade cost decreased (6->5) and now shows base HP and damage if the wizard has no items rather than 0. Wizard Replica Blood Reclamation upgrade cost increased (3->5) functionality changed to, restores charge on Wizard Replica's death.
Wild Magic Changes: Grants a random cantrip at game start. Gives a random number of spells and skills each level within set bounds (rather than a fixed amount) Won't give you blood spells you can’t afford to cast. Rerolls your spells/skills when you reroll rifts.
Items:
Crisis Charm now protects the player from all damage for one turn and only consumes one charm at a time, even if you own multiple. Codex of Sacrifice was now removes a flat 25 of your max health at the end of each level, and teaches a new Word spell each time, even if you can't pay the full cost. It stops functioning once all Word spells are known. Fixed a bug with Terracotta Legion's Banner where the regeneration buff wasn't being applied to the Claytouched summons. Fixed a bug with Death Legion's Banner where the teleporting buff wasn't being applied to the Ghostly summons.
AI & Pathing:
Fixed a bug where units only checked their first spell’s ability to harm an enemy when choosing pathing targets. Fixed a bug where units would not use self-targeted abilities if they were immune to their own damage type. The wizard once again avoids portals and shops during auto-pathing.
Saturday Night Racing has been given an overhaul in its first major update. This update brings a new mode "Saturday Night Thunder" to provide new events, races, and progression along with new content and gameplay enhancements.
The new mode Saturday Night Thunder brings several rounds of progression and unlockable events for the player to complete. Each track has a new branded Signature Event, a lengthy race event that will challenge driver endurance. A new Track Champion Showdown mode is available; once the gold lap time is set take on an existing track champion in a 1v1 duel to become the new track champ.
In addition to the new modes, the existing target lap time tracking has been expanded to include Bronze, Silver, and Gold lap times for each track.
A new track has been added to the SNR circuit, as Red County Speedway joins for some wheel-to-wheel action. This track is a large 1.5 mile speedway that will exhibit the newest game mechanic added which is....
....Saturday Night Racing, true to stock car racing, now has a draft/slipstream system in place. When you follow a car on the track you feel the aero advantage as the drafting effects ramp up the closer you get to the lead car. But, be careful! The gap closes fast and running into an opponent is a sure way to cause a wreck!
There is a new level based fan system in place to reward drivers for great on-track performance. Depending on where the player finishes in Quick Race or a Signature Event fans will be rewarded accordingly. Earn fans to level up, but do note that the Signature Events have a much larger fanbase reward!
Quick Summary of all changes:
Saturday Night Thunder mode
New Track, Red County Speedway
New Game Mechanic, 1v1 race type
New Game Mechanic, Draft/Slipstream
New Game Mechanic, Fan Rewards
Improvements to shadow rendering on High/Ultra settings
