Greetings, irradiated intellectuals!
We’ve released a hotfix that should solve a bunch of issues, including a story bug and various balance tweaks.
Please update your game and servers when you get a moment away from scientific study. If you don't receive an update, verify your game files.
Hotfix v0.10.0.15383 Changes:
Balance Tweaks:
- Improved efficiency of Reactor Armor Set Bonus. This should now yield much more movement speed to offset the weight of the armor itself.
- Reduced the amount of in-game days required to pass before the Glow Tulips will regrow in The Encroachment, from 20 days down to 7 days.
- Slightly reduced the chance for Embellished Censer to be fished up in Shadowgate.
- Increased the stack size for Embellished Censer from 1 to 10.
- All Gatekeeper health has been reduced by about 20%, except for the Witch.
- Phyters and Chieftains are no longer Laser Resistant.
- Phyters are now weak to Sharp and Blunt damage.
- Mystagogues are now WEAK to Electric instead of RESISTANT to it. Looks like the magnetic poles have shifted.
- Jotun no longer shows itself as being both weak and immune to acid - now he is just weak to acid.
- Lasers now do 65% damage to shields, up from 50%.
- No other shield values have changed at this time.
- Exor Cha: Decreased spear tip damage rate from 0.4 to 0.65, reducing how many times you get hit by the spear per second if running into it. Also, don’t do that, it hurts.
- Exor Cha: Reduced teleportation rate when enraged.
- Exor Cha: Slightly reduced movement speed in combat.
- Updated Exor Cha psychic effect visuals.
- Exor Cha now screech when they become enraged.
Other Changes / Bug Fixes:
- The Server Browser search function is now available again. Be sure to press the Apply button or click refresh!
- Added a startup notice that will warn you if your operating system clock is set to an incompatible state for properly joining multiplayer games.
- Fixed a major absent story beat at the start of Intrados. If you already passed through this area, there was one character encounter that would be missing, and would provide some context and suggestions on how to proceed. We have pinned a video of this encounter in our discord #abf-lore channel with a spoiler tag on it. You have been warned!
- The hapless Douglas should no longer appear in two places at once. Or does he just run really quickly? Either way, neither should be possible now.
- Trader good/bad trade lines now have subtitles.
- Fixed a bug where trading items with a Trader while having a full inventory would place the items in a bag below the floor, which is not very helpful.
- Frake should no longer be able to appear in two places at once.
- Fixed an issue with Laser Grenades despawning if left on the ground.
- Reactor Helmet recipe is now unlocked when killing a specific foe, to aid with scientists finding the pathway to this recipe.
- All Reactor gear now have additional items listed when researching the recipes.
- Added filename to Waterbot email attachment.
- Imbued Parchment can now occasionally be found.
- Fixed an issue where some collision would persist on dedicated servers near the end of Intrados and not allow scientists to venture into a portal.
- Force Fields in Intrados should no longer persist after being destroyed, even when portal worlds reset. These nullifications are now permanent.
Onward to science!
