We've just pushed a big update for Beneath The Six! This patch focuses on significant balancing changes for daily challenges and player levelling, introduces new ways to revive your party, and crushes a huge number of bugs based on your reports.
Content
- The Fairy Wing has been reworked. It can now be consumed to revive all dead or downed players for 50 health. It also retains an auto-revive function upon your own death.
- An option to revive downed or dead players is now available in the shop in both the dungeon and the Arena.
- Prayer Altars will now revive any dead or downed players in the party.
Balancing
- Daily Challenges have been made easier based on your feedback. Specific kill counts have been reduced:
- Kill enemies: 50 -> 30
- Kill enemies using backstab: 20 -> 10
- Kill enemies whilst they're stunned: 20 -> 10
- Kill enemies whilst they're bleeding: 20 -> 10
- Kill enemies whilst they're poisoned: 20 -> 10
- The levelling system has been reworked to remove level restrictions and reduce health gain per level.
- The full health regeneration upon levelling up has been nerfed, as it was too generous in multiplayer.
- Weapon upgrading in shops has been limited.
Improvements & Quality of Life
- Daily and weekly challenges now progress while playing in the Arena.
- The number of turns taken in the Arena will now be included in the Discord leaderboard updates.
- The Spear has its VFX back, and SFX have been added for the throw and impact of the Hurl Weapon skill.
Bug Fixes
- Fixed a critical bug where toggling the 'Hide Helmet' option could wipe the player's inventory.
- Resolved an issue where the End Game screen failed to populate stats, often only showing 'GOLD COLLECTED'.
- Corrected a logic issue in the leaderboard where having 'More turns' was incorrectly ranked higher than 'Less turns'.
- Fixed a session-breaking bug where using Temporal Displacement Armour with a Potion of Hot Footed could cause a player to teleport indefinitely.
- Chests and 'TRY YOUR LUCK' stashes should no longer appear empty.
- Fixed an issue where random dungeons were incorrectly using the same rooms as the daily dungeon.
- Addressed a bug where bow kills were not counting as kills from range.
- The camera follower should no longer break if you move it far away from the player and press SPACE.
- Corrected an issue where avatar portraits would fail to load and appear grey.
- Fixed multiple issues with the Arena map screen, including a non-functional button and missing graphics.
- Resolved a bug where illusions created by the Scroll of Fragmentation were not attacking enemies.
