Developer Notes:

0.9 is a HUGE update. Easily one of our biggest yet, I really encourage players to take some time to read through all of the changes as there are plenty of big changes people have been looking forward to for a long time in here.

We are incredibly proud of 0.9 and are excited to see everybody's reaction to it! So please share your thoughts with us on the Steam forums or in the official Discord.

Summarized Patch Notes:

New Event Rooms:

Added 3 new unique event rooms.

Two being exclusive to the Molten Collapse and one being a new addition to the Forgotten Catacombs.

• The Forgotten Trial

The Forgotten Trial, a new event room exclusive to the Forgotten Catacombs. It's a large room with a brazier at the center and coals scattered throughout.

Pick up a coal, place it in the brazier, and light it to begin the trial. Waves of respawning enemies will try to stop you from continuing to fill the brazier with coals. Completing the trial by successfully filling the brazier with coals will reward you with a new permanent buff for your character, granting you either movement speed, dexterity, or block chance.

• The Molten Forge

The Molten Forge, a new event room exclusive to the Molten Collapse. Here you can drop any common, rare, or epic piece of loot to melt down into a new trinket called the Essence of the Forge.

This trinket will inherit the proc/item effect of the item melted into the forge, but with a randomized negative stat to offset the power.

• Lava Wyrm Nest

The Lava Wyrm Nest, a new event room exclusive to the Molten Collapse. Break wyrm eggs for a chance at powerful loot only in this event room, but be warned, disturbing the nest may awaken the sleeping wyrms!

New Character Creator:

We have overhauled the way you create new characters in the game! Moving perks, character creation, and skins all onto one screen!

Perks are now tied to your character and can no longer be changed after character creation. We have updated a few perks to work better with this new system.

Torch Expertise Tree Rework:

The torch expertise tree has seen a massive rework, primarily to the right side/support branch of the tree.

• Added 16 new expertise talents and removed 7 old talents.

Steam post image

Added 2 new torch spells:

• Utility Spell Fire Shield: Cast a fiery shield on an ally for 10 seconds, blocking the next damage they take. When the shield breaks, it explodes in a ring of fire, dealing fire damage equal to 50% of the target's block chance. If no ally is in your crosshair, shield yourself for 4 seconds instead. 90 second cooldown.

• Mobility Spell Trailblaze: Increases your movement speed by 60%, and all nearby players movement speed by 30% for 5 seconds. 30 second cooldown.

There are way too many additions and changes in the torch tree for me to go over here. It is a huge part of the new content for the update, and we encourage you to try out the new tree!

Questline & Task Update:

• New Questlines

• Added new 3 part questline A Grim Discovery, this questline can be started by finding an item hidden in the Lost Miner's Supply Cache event room and has a unique loot spawn unlock for completing it.

• Added new 4 part questline Mystery of the Runes, this is a secret questline with a unique legendary unlock for completing it.

Both questlines offer unique permanent unlocks for rewards and a peek into the game's lore!

• Tasks Rework

The task system has been reworked. You now usually have less active tasks at once, and completing a task usually leads to another one within a 3 part chain.

• You always start with one task at level 1, and gain a new task every 5 levels.

• Tasks get harder as you level up, offering you a new pool of tasks every 10 levels.

• Completing 3 basic tasks within the same chain leads to a Final task that offers a lot of XP and sometimes cosmetic rewards.

• Added 7 new tasks and rebalanced/reworked several more.

• Tasks & Quests Seperation

We have separated the Quests and Tasks in the tasks UI.

• Quests always offer unique permanent rewards when completed that are not lost when you prestige.

• Tasks always reset on prestige and only offer experience as well as cosmetics from certain Final tasks.

• Objective Tracking

Added the ability to pin and track up to 2 different quests/tasks, which will allow you to see your progress within a run without having to open your inventory to check your tasks!

Items:

• Item Set Bonuses

Added Item sets, that give you an additional bonus whenever you have two paired items equipped together.

• Added an equip bonus to Holy Warhammer: Equip Bonus: While wearing a Holy Necklace, killing a mob in a single strike has a 10% chance to heal a hit point to all nearby allies. 30 second cooldown.

• Added an equip bonus to Champion's Greatsword: Champion's Pauldrons, If any player goes down, grant all players 50% block chance for 15 seconds. 90 second cooldown.

• New Items

Added 19 new items, with a secret legendary, 2 new boss skin drops, and several new weapons, trinkets, pieces of armor, etc.

• Attack Speed Stat Rework

• Reworked how attack speed scales to provide much more consistent DPS gains at all values.

• Each point of attack speed now has a smaller effect on swing speed, but sources of attack speed grant significantly higher amounts.

• Removed the 90% Attack Speed cap. Attack speed is now uncapped.

• Reaching a swing speed comparable to pre-0.9 now requires roughly 300% Attack Speed.

• Rebalanced attack speed values across gear, talents, and other progression systems.

Major QoL Changes:

• Player Transparency

Walking through a player and being unable to see anything was a very annoying problem with playing Cave Crawlers co-op, especially in larger groups. We've solved this issue by adding a new occlusion fade when walking through another player!

• See All Regions in Lobby Browser

You can now view all open lobbies across every region, along with an estimated ping for each one. We are hoping this helps people find lobbies of people to play with both more quickly and more often!

• Torch Brightness Fix

Torches reduce their light intensity when near other torches, to preserve a max intensity rather than a blinding cumulative intensity.

• Multiplayer Balancing & Improvements

• Increased the chance for chests to spawn by 2% per additional player in multiplayer.

• Buffs you applied to other players now display over their heads.

• Added the ability to view other players' dwarfs while in a lobby with them.

• Floor Length Balancing

• During all cave generation, earlier biome floors are now longer, and later biome floors are now shorter.

• Reduced the average floor length of the Molten Collapse.

• Reduced length of Forgotten Catacombs by 25%.
