Hello Adventurers!
We've got a nice juicy update for you today. Lately, we've been focusing hard on console ports, and that's taken up a lot of time.
But all the while we've been slowly working on some balance changes, and quality of life upgrades.
Let's get into some specific highlights.
New Languages!
Japanese, and Korean localization have been added!
Trading Cards
We’ve added 6 trading cards!
Boat Reclamation / Boat Selling
Boats can now be "reclaimed" back into deeds, and carried, or sold. To do so: you can put any boat next to a port/water town, and use the services menu to reclaim it. It costs nothing to do so, but the boat must be fully repaired before you can reclaim it.
Now in the event that you buy a boat in a smaller body of water, you can simply reclaim it, and take it somewhere else. Let the portaging begin!
Difficulty Changes
We've made some rules changes to all our adventures. Apprentice, and Journeyman are now easier by way of increased lives, and Chaos times. This should translate to making the initial difficulty curve of the adventures more survivable.
For the specifics of the changes: scroll to the bottom of this post.
The aim here is to get more people playing Journeyman! This is our favourite way to play, and we're hoping you'll all agree.
AND DON'T FORGET... You can always customize the difficulty of the game with the House Rules button:
Changes to Vexor - FTK Mode
Vexor and his Chaos Hounds on Apprentice and Journeyman have changed. In general, they've both been slowed down a bit, and do less damage. The Hounds are also less evasive, and have less crit chance.
Vexor has been made to exchange some attacks with buffs, and will also do fewer group Chaos attacks.
