1.5.1 Bugfix Patch

1.5.1 Bugfix Patch

Here's a list of fixes and improvements with today's patch. These notes include last Tuesday's pre-patch.

Death Log / Final Report

When your hero dies, you'll have an opportunity to check the final messages in the combat log as well as your final gear loadout and stats. There's also a report that details what went down at the end and has some tips that may or may not help you in future tough situations. Feedback welcome!

New Overworld Map!

The Overworld map has been overhauled, with a cleaner presentation and the ability to toggle various settings, allowing you to see only the location types you're interested in. Again, feedback welcome!

Academy Faculty

Staff at the Academy, living or otherwise, should no longer overlap in the skills they teach. This only applies to new faculty, if you have current ones in the Academy they will be unchanged.

Fallen Castle Overgrowth

Trees that have the audacity to block off areas of a Fallen Castle map can now be terminated with extreme prejudice. You'll see.

Stuck Boss Mega Action Fury Bug

Some players are reporting situations where roadblock bosses don't die when they are killed, but instead stand still and don't act. If the player then leaves that area and returns, the monster goes completely nuts and takes 1000 actions to beat the player down. I have not been able to reproduce this locally! However, I've added some new checks and guards against this to prevent it from happening, we'll see if they work.

Endgame Boss Balance

Without getting into spoilers, there have been some changes made to make the fight a touch easier and less of a drag. The largest health pool boss has been reduced greatly (there was a bug giving him 5x health) and the life steal has been removed. Various important messages during the fight are now accompanied by a roar, screenshake, and BIG WORDS AT THE TOP OF THE SCREEN. Don't die.
