DEATHMARK Patch - More Fixes & More Balance!

General Changes

• Added a text in the Role Reveal that shows how many Corrupted players are in the game.

• Added some extra information about the team you are on during the Role Reveal.

• Extended the duration of the Role Reveal by 5 seconds.

• Added a text in the bottom left of the HUD showing the team you are on.

• The "New Turn" journal entry no longer shows up as an unread entry notification.

• Added an intermission period of 10 seconds after a trial, allowing players to counter-trial (at the cost of their own Trial charge, obviously).

• The Journal no longer says the role of a player that died, it only says the team they were on now.

• Added a VFX for when a player survives a kill from a protection aura.

• We changed the way cards work to now allow different versions of the same cards for different lobby sizes.

  • Lobbies with 4-5 players are considered a Small Lobby.

  • Lobbies with 6+ players are considered a Large Lobby.

Bug Fixes

• Fixed a typo when a player would join or leave a lobby. (Cutlists anyone?)

• Fixed player colors being incorrect when a player would leave a lobby.

• Fixed an issue that let alive players see and hear dead players. Spooky.

• Fixed an issue that allowed players to use Cards and their Sigil at the same time.

• Added a softlock prevention for when a player leaves the game while a card is being used on them in the Chaos Phase.

• Added a softlock prevention for when a player leaves the game during a Trial.

• Fixed an issue where the game would not check for win conditions after a player left the game.

• Fixed an issue where cards with a limit per hand would not respect that limit when drawing new cards, or using cards that grant you cards in the Chaos Phase.

• Fixed an issue where the Sigil of Vision and Sigil of Information would not work as intended.

• Fixed an issue where non-hosts would have their Sigil charge fluctuate up and down, often telling them their Sigil was ready when it was not.

• Fixed an issue where Crystal Ball would return an incorrect value.

• Fixed an issue where Epiphany would count the target using a self-use card when it shouldn't.

• Fixed an issue where you couldn't type in chat while dead.

• Fixed multiple issues with the Pause Menu.

• Fixed an issue where a player marked for death multiple times would be "killed" while already dead.

• Fixed an issue where the Protected icon on the HUD would show up earlier than expected.

• Fixed one of the ways that caused the camera to randomly go into an idle state.

• Tweaked the visual of the Table-Wide Sigils to no longer spoil who used them.

• Fixed an issue where some cards that should be Legendary were Epic and vice-versa.

• Fixed an issue where votes from the previous Trial would carry over to the next one.
