Dungeon Exiles 0.5.2

The Collection Log

This is the most significant part of patch 0.5.2. Now you can view your Collection Log on the main menu where you can see every item and ability you’ve unlocked during a run! An item or ability will only be added to the Collection Log if it has been collected and the game has been saved. The game will only save on the following conditions:

If the player descends to a new floor If the player dies If the player chooses to end their run from the pause menu

So if you close the game in the middle of a floor, the current floor progress will not be saved (meaning that you'll be sent back to the start of the floor). This is due to both technical limitations and an attempt to de-incentivise save scumming

Saving and Loading

As part of patch 0.5.2, your run progress will be saved between sessions, so you’ll be able to resume and continue a run (at the beginning of the last floor you reached) even if you close and then reopen the game

As part of these changes, the Save data format has changed significantly so all previous progress will be cleared as you’ll need to create a new save. This means that for older players you’ll need to re-unlock the Rogue and/or Mage if they had been previously unlocked. I apologise for any inconvenience this has caused

Room Changes

The Dark Crossroads room (The red question mark) has been disabled. Currently, I don’t feel like most of the chaos cards are worth taking so I’ve disabled it for now and may re-introduce it at a later date

The Divine Atlar room has also been disabled. I didn’t feel like it was ever exciting or interesting to select a Resolve passive, so they’ve been removed

Game Balance

I’ve significantly increased the speed of the game, all players and enemies have had their attack speeds increased and their cooldowns reduced. Moreover, I’ve increased base mana regeneration to compensate. So overall balance should feel very different, for the most part, enemies should be somewhat easier but I’ll be monitoring the new game balance in updates to come

Cooldown Recovery

The maximum Cooldown Recovery Rate is now capped at 95% Abilities now have a minimum cooldown of 0.25 seconds

Critical Strike Chance

The Critical Strike Chance changes of patch 0.4.8 have been reverted. Critical Strike Chance will no longer be multiplicative and will be additive once more, however the numbers have been reduced to ensure balance. Lastly, Precision has been changed to keep its multiplicative Critical Strike Chance, turning a previously weak Aura into a powerful option for Crit scaling. I’ll be monitoring the Critical Strike Chance changes in updates to come

Traits

Trait amounts have been standardised. For the Demo of Dungeon Exiles, all traits will only go up to a maximum of 6 synergy bonuses, however for the full release of the game, they will all go to 8

Sentinel has been renamed to Juggernaut

Abilities

The Mage’s Timewarp Ability has been removed Sunder Vulnerable Chance: 100% -> 20%

Items

A new consumable item called Bag of Dice can now be purchased from shops for 45 gold. This is a consumable item that will grant 1-3 Reroll Dice on use

Miscellenous Changes

Reroll Dice no longer have a cap When rerolling items or abilities you can now choose to spend Reroll Dice or Gold You can now reroll Treasure Chests using Reroll Dice The camera has been slightly zoomed in Resolution and windowed settings have been added

Closing Words

So that is everything for patch 0.5.2! The last thing I wanted to quickly mention was the release date of Dungeon Exiles. So, assuming no delays or external factors, Dungeon Exiles should hopefully be released early August (so next month from the date of writing this). Of course, as I get closer to that date I’ll share any updates in regards to the release date, but that’s all for now!

To play the newest update, ensure the main menu reads “0.5.2”. You may have to update, validate game files or re-install your game to play the newest update
