Greetings, Cropsters!
New PvP Season announcement:
The PvP ladder and rating will reset in 1 week! (or maybe a few more days).
This means that you will be set back to a base rating of between 900-1200 (depending on your rank in the previous season).
Speaking of rank, you will also be awarded with the Season 1 ranked player icon of the rank you achieved! (and all ranks below you). Behold the Eggplant Statue:
This will kick off the ranked season 2 in CROPS!, which will also have ranked rewards by the end.
Other than that, here are the patch notes for this patch:
Balance changes:
🟢: Buff
🔴: Nerf
🟡: Change
🔴 Walnut --> 16 HP (down from 18). 1.1 move speed (down from 1.5).
🔴/🟡 Chamomile --> Spawns 1 sapling every 7s instead of 2 every 10s. 7HP (down from 8). Saplings: 7HP (up from 6 HP) //Dev comment: These changes result in a nerf to chamomile. It might seem like a big nerf, but to compensate, Chamomile will now transfer health buffs to saplings (like any other buff). Overall Chamomile is weaker early game than before, but pretty good mid-late. It is the hardest unit in the game to balance, so more changes may come.
🟢 Chili --> 6 HP (up from 5). Explosion size slightly increased.
🟢 Banana --> Move speed increased to 2.7 (up from 2.4).
🟡 Bamboo --> Changed to only require 2 spaces. AS Buff gives +25% (down from 30%). Now has 6 HP (down from 7HP). Now has 1.5 move speed (down from 2.0).
🟡 Pineapple --> Changed to only require 2 spaces. Gives +1 damage (down from +2). Now has 6 HP (down from 7 HP). Now has 1.5 move speed (down from 2.0).
//Dev comment: the 2 changes to bamboo & pineapple will make them more support-oriented rather than build-defining. They have a bit less impact than before, but you will be able to fit more of them.
Other changes:
- The healing effect from enemy aloe vera is now teal like the healing circle, while friendly aloe heal is green (to tell the difference between ally and foe).
- The UI of the "choose island" screen has been completely overhauled. Also added a difficulty slider for each island. Check out how clean it has become!
- The game will now remember your selection of "ranked" or "unranked" PvP for the entire game session.
Bugfixes:
Defeating an enemy garlic with revive would bug the game, making you unable to win the round. This has now been fixed.
Walnut hitbox has been corrected a bit.
