Dungeon Defenders: Awakened PTR - January 17th, 2024
The PTR is available to all players who own Dungeon Defenders: Awakened on Steam. To opt into this beta, right-click DD:A within your Steam library, select 'properties', 'Betas', and finally, 'Public Testing Realm' from the drop-down at the top of the window. Our goal with PTRs is of course to collect as much community feedback as possible, so please utilize that 'PTR Feedback Survey' button (hit 'escape' to find it)!
Now, onto the good stuff;
Split-Screen
Implemented Split-Screen! This feature is currently limited to two players. To enabling Split-Screen;
- Grab a keyboard and a controller (or two controllers).
- If using only one controller, go to the options menu, and within the 'Gameplay' tab select 'Use First Gamepad for Player 2'.
- In the top-right of your pause menu, add another player as usual, but as opposed to selecting 'Online', you'll select 'Split-Screen'.
- Get defending!
Tavern Stash
- Implemented the Tavern Stash! This new storage system can hold up to 1000 items, and is accessible--as the name implies--within your Tavern!
- Player Inventory Reduced from 525 to 200 slots (any overflow items have been moved to your Tavern Stash). This also greatly improves multiplayer load times.
Quality of Life
- Rune tooltips now include which hero can effectively utilize the rune.
- Hosts of multiplayer games will notice a new hint for force-readying other players (the current shortcut is Ctrl + G on PC).
- Client party icons now default to the player's current hero if playing offline or Steam is unavailable.
- When one or more accessories are not equipped on the current hero, a warning for the associated slot(s) will be displayed on the transmog UI.
- When trading, players can now type "1M" / "1B" / "1T" to add a million / billion / trillion gold respectively.
- Players are now able to toggle their match between public and private with the 'Change Access' option on the pause menu.
- Players can manually lower the rank of any given rune in the 'Runes' tab.
