Black Ice changes
A fairly hefty weekly patch for y'all! This one is aimed at making the inbox easier to navigate, as well as fixing a few bugs I found in the big multiplayer night we had on PetePlaysTheGames twitch channel.
Added new Student Loans quest which unlocks when you hack a level 25+ server
New Quarkus area - not open for hacking yet, but please let us know if you like how it looks!
Inbox update - filtering by Inbox (important), Tracked, and Archive. Autosorting. Prettier, added tooltips to icons.
Increased bitcred rewards for all early quests significantly
The Gambling shop now drops a bunch of money instead of nothing
Added a progress bar to each tab of the Unlocks page
Spend bitcreds bounty amount reduced
Multiplayer - +XP% per person increased to 15% from 10, share radius increased from 75 to 100m
Added an Upgrade Rarity machine to the volcano secret room
Raidseekers now have their own icon to differentiate that they spread vulnerabilities
Glide jump now properly glides on first jump if the button is held down
Accelerating Fire now increases RAM cost as the gun heats up
Laugh Now, Cry Laser now decays over time, and does not count damage from hazards like Lava
Doubled +Weapon Damage (flat) scaling with level to help it compete at higher level
Forward-firing disc machineguns drop rate doubled
Shotguns, Snipers, and Pulse weapons now have uncapped final Attack Speed (but still generate with the same base attack speed, to preserve their feel)
Shotgun accuracy cap increased from 70 to 85
Disco Deathballs and items with low cooldowns and no charges can no longer have the When Hit Cooldown affix
Added a 1 second cooldown to the When Hit Cooldown affix
Extra Projectiles affix now normalizes damage to +25% total dps per extra projectile (this is a nerf for low projectile count weapons, but a buff for high ones)
Destroy Mines bounty now doesn't happen till higher level
Sentries now say what they are when you mouseover them
Fixed the gambling shop/secret arcade shop from having the wrong colors
Fixed the cache in the volcano secret shop from being too big, added a cache to the cavern shop
Fixed damage bounties overflow
Fixed an issue where the Enemies Remaining text wouldn't show up after you'd done the volcano boss fight
Optimized performance for aoe Zone abilities from Snails, players, etc. Fixed targeting issue.
Fixed other player icons not showing up on the map in multiplayer depending on who joined when
Fixed Ride the Glide achievement triggering too early
Rezigen server now can be hacked from the very top
Fixed the map clipping through the wall in the arcade
