Hey,
The alpha for our 19th update is officially over, as the update seems fairly stable. So we need some lovely people to help us smooth off the edges in a beta run for the next couple of weeks while we keep working on the balance. We've also released some extra patchnotes for the beta release, you can check them out here.
There have been a whole lot of changes made during the alpha, so if you're not up-to-date with what we've been changing, you should take a look at our last few posts. We would post the list of patchnotes here but we'd definitely run over the character limit...
Anyway, if you've never participated in a beta before, you just need to follow these instructions and you'll be able to access it:
- Go to your Steam game library.
- Right click on Dead Cells and click "properties".
- Select the tab "Betas".
- In the first dropdown box select "beta".
- Click close and wait for the download to finish.
- Start playing.
We have a thread currently stickied on the Dead Cells subreddit to collect feedback and to just have general discussions, but you can also post on the #current-update-discussion channel on the Dead Cells' Discord if you prefer (links are below).
Finally, we are very aware that there aren't any survival mutations that properly support the two-handed crossbow playstyle right now. We prefer to see how they will be used, to better understand 2handed builds ' weaknesses and needs instead of implementing a mildly interesting design that we're not sure would be relevant.
Cheers,
Matt, EE & MT
