Hey Oracles,
We are are working on reworks and balancing for each oracle and all other mechanics that are feeling a bit off, we want to make the game as much polished as possible. ✨🎲✨
We will make a beta period to test out those changes and our community feedback will be very much appreciated. Therefore this patch has been uploaded to our beta branch.
You can share your feedback here on steam or on Astrea Discord where is usually a easier place to discuss about the changes (also in our discord you can receive the role Astral Tester and we can add your name to Astrea playtester credits).
In this first beta patch we focused on reworking/balancing out actions (or even add new actions 😱) from Neutral⭐, Moonie :moonie: and Cellarius :cellarius:.
Hope you all have fun testing out the reworks and new mechanics/interactions. 🎲✨
Important Note: All new actions currently have temporary icons/names and all of the new text is currently only available in English. All of the changes in the beta version are subject to change.

Patch Notes
General
- Now it is possible to skip destroy die and forge die rewards/events.
- Now it is possible to go back to previous screen when forging, duplicating or destroying a die on shop/events.
- Now it is possible to go back to previous screen when on choose/change one of your current sentinels screen.
Balancing
- Added a new mute system based on chapter where some dice and blessings won't appear on certain chapters. Dice and Blessings that appear only on certain chapters have a "C" letter with a number beside the name of the Blessing and beside the owner of the die, this represents in which chapter that Blessing or Die can appear. For instance, C1C2 means it can appear only on Tainted Reef or Astropolis Ruins. If there is no "C", it means it can appear in any chapter.
