This update brings performance improvements, reworks, balance changes, and new content focused around the Protochasm. Below is a full breakdown of everything included.
Ability System Stability
A major issue causing crashes during ability use has been addressed. This substantially improves stability and we are confident that we can now add new abilities at an increased pace.
All known ability-related crashes have been fixed. This may cause minor hitching during certain ability executions, and we will continue to monitor how this performs in live play.
Protochasm & Proc Dungeon Overhaul
A substantial rework of the procedural dungeon, its encounters, rooms, and flow.
New & Updated Rooms
Multiple new rooms added with a full decoration pass using new wall and stair tools.
Added miniboss blocking progression past floor 2.
Amphitheatre-style Protochasm loot area with terraces for each extract tier.
Updated extract rooms to properly route players to their correct terrace.
Loot & Economy
Reward chests now require osseous shards to open.
Shards are now only lost upon death or group wipe.
Dungeon loot tables rebalanced, with several green items moved off Tier 3.
Room & Navigation Fixes
Major pathfinding updates.
Crypt doors and doorframes are now fully navigable by enemies.
Fixed navigation issues caused by delayed navmesh generation. (Still observing problems with this sometimes).
Dungeon Entrance Rework
Removed the confusing puzzle to enter the Protochasm.
Main door now requires a mix of damage types to open.
