IMPORTANT: How to try the beta branch?
Steps to try out the beta branch of the game:
- In your game library right click on "Rogue Empire -> Properties"
- In properties select the "Betas" tab
- On the drop down select the version: beta - Beta testing for next release
Changes:
Bugs:
- Fixed challenge dungeon bug where the "increased difficulty level" challenge was getting reapplied constantly. This might change the meta considerably. i ll keep an eye on this.
- Wands do not reflect additional mana in the icon when recharged.
- Altars can no longer on rare cases (challenge dungeon level 0) appear on top of holes/stairs.
- Toggling off soul essence perks that are applied on game start(Gold, Keys, etc) should now properly work.
- Infinite dungeon level 0 in the Dawn of Shadows campaign can no longer generate a blocked path to its entrance.
Balance:
- After all modifiers to physical damage are taken into account the end damage done now will correspond to [floor(damage)] + [1 on random chance depending of the remainder of the damage] instead of a simple rounding. What this means is that if after modifier damage is 10.9, there will be a 10% chance it is 10 and a 90% chance it is 11.
- Warrior:
- Hardened shield and polish shield talents got its modifiers increased.
Other:
- You can now order items at any merchant shop by item type & item rarity.
- Offhand wielded weapon now shows it proper damage on the tool tip.
- Speed affecting abilities on weapons should show its effect on weapons. If I missed one let me know.
- Added twitch negative judgment of location full of traps.
- Instead of "your pack feels heavier" the mage potion crafting ability now properly names what was actually crafted, e.g. regular potion, minor potion, etc
- Merchants now give the option to sell an item for the remaining of the merchants money if they run out of it.
- When ordering movement to a far away tile, if the character stumbles upon an altars or a merchant he will now go around it/him.
If you want to help out you are welcome to check this build out.
Cheers and happy crawling!
