Hello mates, Baron here! Another patchload of bugfixes today from the Warpfrog team, addressing a bunch of issues raised by the community.
Some notable inclusions --
Players who spent crystal shards to upgrade and then accidentally died on Home map would lose their shards. This bug really sucked, so I'm sorry about that for anyone who unfortunately suffered this!
Players are now immune from Airstrike fall damage. Players looking to test out their new skill would jump off a cliff only to find they died on impact. ːpontius_angryː Now it operates as it always should have.
Some T4 weapons (Slaughter Sword, Noble's Dagger) were not appearing in the generation pool at Baron's Bounty, meaning no matter how many times you visited the weapons would never be for sale - they should be appearing now.
There was a bug for gold loss upon death where the player was losing their entire gold instead of only partial gold loss; it must have felt like playing hardcore difficulty! This is now fixed.
Full changelog of fixes below!
Unrelated to this patch but related to bugs, I also wanted to mention --
If you have played U11/U12 you might have felt the AI seemed a bit derpy in 1.0 by comparison.... You are not crazy!
We are still exploring this, but it seems we suffered from regressive AI bugs that are lobotomizing some of the AI's behaviors; notably AI not dodging, not using their shields properly, being unable to parry and riposte, and the very annoying "AI hugs you to death" rangefinding issue returns. ːeagleangryː
These were AI issues that we ironed out in the "animation overhaul" efforts back in U11, so it's annoying as hell to see them back! With so many moving parts in 1.0, the slow drip of tweaking code over time meant these issues slowly and stealthily reintroduced themselves. It's the kind of stuff that goes unnoticed because it happens so gradually that it is like watching a plant grow,. It's only when you can A/B compare the updates that things jump out!
Anyway, just wanted to let you guys know we are aware and looking into a fix!
