Hello everyone!
I hope everyone had a great New Year and Christmas break! I wanted to take some time to give you all an update on what's to come, and what is actively being worked on.
First up this year is going to be a couple of very important balance patches. I actually planned to wait and get all these out at the same time, however we’ve been in calls and discussion for almost 2 weeks now, and are only just wrapping up the Hidden! So I’m going to push these patches out by class -- starting with the Hidden!
So what will be included?
Firstly, we’ve done a big balance pass over all encounters. A couple of buffs, nerfs and tweaks -- and yes, the Forgotten has had its long awaiting beating with the nerf stick! Neutral spells should also get a small tweak during this patch as well.
Then it's a big pass on all the Hiddens Cards and Artifacts, with a couple of new ones added in as well!
The goal with this patch would be a release around 2 weeks from now -- all things going according to plan! We’ll continue to roll on with each class one after another as well.
Instability 127?
I want to take a quick minute to showcase an incredible community achievement!
For any of you currently in the Discord, you may have been following along with Doinkers incredible journey! Vault has a cap on Instability at 50, however, there is a way to remove that, and allow yourself to push the challenge as high as you like. As of this week, Instability 127 (every single modifier turned on) has officially been beaten!
Truely and amazing feat -- and Doinker has even been tracking his win rate and adding notes along the way, which were a great read. A huge congratutions to you Doinker!
If you ever feel the need to up the level of PAIN, you can head to your local Vault folder (App Data/Local/Vault of the Void) and open the options.json file to edit your Max Instability setting!
Translations
We've had some outstanding contributions latley on the Translations front! The Russian translation progress has been going really well, and is around 80% complete. I know theres been a lot of people asking for Russian to be added, and it should be avaialble for Beta testing very soon! A huge thank you again to all the volunteers who help with the Translation work, you're all superstars!
Thats all from me for now! As you can see, things are heating up again on the VotV front, and I'm excited to continue to push things forward this year. A new class is definitely planned for 2023, plus a few new things as well! More Challenge Coins of course will make their way into the Vault as well!
Thank you everyone -- looking forward to an exciting year of VotV content!
All for now
- Josh
