    • Each phase increases damage bonus, increases current HP damage, and adds additional explosions at later evolutions.

    • The final explosion is delayed and the player gets up to 1 second of invulnerability after they dash past their target as long as they don’t move; moving early triggers the final explosion early and removes the invulnerability.

      • Boost Phase: The chair's thrusters activate with a big impulse. The player cannot move while in this phase. Enemies hit take damage and are launched.

      • Momentum Phase: Thrusters stop, and the player slows slightly while maintaining momentum, but can now turn. Enemies hit continue to take damage and are launched.

Treasure Chests & Gold

We wanted to make the pursuit of gold through runs in Out of Time more dynamic by increasing player agency in terms of both minute to minute gameplay but also in terms of the metagame choices for gear and masteries. You will find that if you focus on Final Boss rewards or fast completion times only, gold earned may be slightly less than before the update. However, bringing the proper gear and focusing on spotting the treasure chests can yield much greater gold rewards than before!

Below are the major changes.

• Treasure Chests are now hidden throughout all zones and all eras! If you can spot them, run over and open them to obtain significant amounts of gold.

• There are three possible outcomes when opening the treasure chests:

  • Treasure Cache which drops gold and an experience shard

  • A fake chest Mimic (or Mimics!) spawns and can drop even more gold than the treasure cache. The mimics are tough and cannot be stunned!

  • A flying chest appears with the highest amount of gold and additionally a powerup

• Additionally, various new items have added effects which increase rate of gold earned during runs

• Gold Earn upgrade cards added during run and increase gold earned by up to 30%

  • Gold Earn upgrade cards only appear once per run and always appear in the Helmet slot.

• Gilded Slimes drop increased gold and scale proportionally with the shattered difficulty level

Boss Shockwave Effect

• When the final boss spawns, a massive shockwave is produced which instantly destroys nearby gatherable nodes entirely. You can still collect those resources during the boss fight if you’re able to get to them!

• All other gatherable nodes outside of range from the final boss shockwave are despawned as they will not drop resources.

New Items

• You can now acquire equipment for Synapse, the Mecha Pilot and Iris, the Hacker!

• New Resource and Gold Earn Rings and Trinkets have been added to Temporal Anomalies and Marco’s Bazaar.

• New Movement Speed Rings and Trinkets can be acquired from Temporal Anomalies.

Mastery Levels 30 → 40

• Increased the mastery levels for all combat and resource gathering masteries from 30 to 40, up to +120% combat bonuses for associated stats, and up to +80 gold and resources collected per pickup

Rotating Shop & Tangle Tokens

• Marco’s Bazaar has opened, with Marco Polo selling a unique suite of items each week, including some brand new rings and trinkets that increase resource earn rates!

• Marco Polo sells items using a new currency, Tangle Tokens. Tangle Tokens can be earned in runs from mini-bosses and treasure chests, as well as from victories, with a bonus for the first win of the day. Players can hold up to 10,000 Tangle Tokens, and the first 2,000 Tangle Tokens earned each week are granted at a bonus rate.

• Players will retroactively be granted Tangle Tokens based on the number of successful runs they’ve completed.

Titles & Inspect Feature

• You can now inspect other players with the ‘F’ key when standing near them

• Show off your accomplishments with Titles, earned through activities across Out of Time. Titles appear in Infinitopia and on victory screens.

Common Gear Rewards

• You will now be granted gear sets for completing zones for the first time on Normal.

Miscellaneous Gameplay Adjustments & Fixes

• Using an ability with charges no longer resets the cooldown.

• Fixed a bug where Einstein would spawn in awkward locations or too far away from the time capsule.

• Fixed a bug with Bladespin where the damage was being delivered over the first .4 seconds of the ability rather than spaced out over 2 second spin time. Overall damage output remains the same.

Gameplay Balancing

Drop Rates for Gear

We’ve adjusted the drop rates for legendary and epic items at higher shattered difficulty levels to better reward completion of these challenging levels. Generally, the chances of seeing Rare (blue) items will decrease at higher difficulty levels and the chances for seeing Epic (purple) and Legendary (orange) items will increase substantially. Also note that these changes are more dramatic the higher the difficulty.

• There were two primary goals with this change. First, to increase the value for finishing higher difficulty shattered levels. Second, to make it easier for players to experiment with different builds at higher difficulty levels.

• Please see the table below for the adjusted chances for an item of each rarity to appear in a single reward slot for defeating final bosses, mini-bosses, and gear slimes.

• Please also note that Normal and Hard difficulty drop rates have been adjusted as follows

  • Normal Difficulty

    • Before: Common = 50%, Uncommon = 45%, Rare= 5%

    • After: Common = 30%, Uncommon = 60%, Rare = 10%

  • Hard Difficulty

    • Before: Uncommon = 50%, Rare = 45%, Epic = 5%

    • After: Uncommon = 35%, Rare = 55%, Epic = 10%

Gatherable Drop Rates in Slimes and Temporal Dice

• Increased the drop rates for higher rarity gatherables dropped by slimes and the Temporal Dice POI

  • Slimes Normal Difficulty

    • Before: Common = 80%, Uncommon = 15%, Rare = 5%

    • After: Common = 70%, Uncommon = 24%, Rare = 6%

  • Slimes Hard Difficulty

    • Before: Common = 77%, Uncommon = 15%, Rare = 5%, Epic = 3%

    • After: Common = 69%, Uncommon = 20%, Rare = 8%, Epic = 3%

  • Slimes Shattered Difficulty

    • Before: Common = 76%, Uncommon = 15%, Rare = 5%, Epic = 3%, Legendary = 1%

    • After: Common = 56%, Uncommon = 23%, Rare = 12%, Epic = 7%, Legendary = 2%

  • Temporal Dice

    • Before: Common = 76%, Uncommon = 15%, Rare = 5%, Epic = 3%, Legendary = 1%

    • After: Common = 65%, Uncommon = 20%, Rare = 9%, Epic = 5%, Legendary = 1%

Set Bonuses Improved Dramatically

• Based on player feedback, the effects of set bonuses have been improved dramatically! While mixing and matching is still an excellent approach, we hope these set bonus improvements will make pure set builds more viable for coordinated multiplayer groups.

  • Note that player suggestions for partial set bonuses are being discussed.

• Appearance rate for powerups has been increased from a 2x increase to a 3x increase for all of the following complete sets:

  • Commando: Double Damage Powerups 2x → 3x appearance rate

  • Minelayer: Slow Powerups 2x → 3x appearance rate

  • Chemist: Bomb Powerups 2x → 3x appearance rate

  • Renegade: Magnet Powerups 2x → 3x appearance rate

  • SpecOps: Bomb Powerups 2x → 3x appearance rate

  • Tesla: Speed Powerups 2x → 3x appearance rate

  • Cyber: Heal Powerups 2x → 3x appearance rate

  • Paladin: Invulnerability Powerups 2x → 3x appearance rate

  • Shapeshifter: Knowledge Tome Powerups 2x → 3x appearance rate

  • Archer: Double Damage Powerups 2x → 3x appearance rate

  • Mecha Pilot: Heal Powerups 2x → 3x appearance rate

• Stat effects of the set bonuses have been improved significantly. These apply to the base value of the stat from gear, and the percentage values are additive with masteries. So for example a +20% bonus to Armor (from Draconic Defender) and a +90% bonus to Armor from level 30 mastery results in a +110% bonus to base Armor.

  • Archer → Adds +10% Movement Speed

  • Barbarian → Adds +25% Critical Damage Multiplier

  • Head of Hydroponics → Adds +.8% Experience Gain Per Level

  • Hacker → Adds +20% Armor

  • Mecha Pilot → Adds +20% Attack Power

Reworked Boss Scaling

Our goal here was to reduce situations where the enormous health of bosses made them extremely time consuming to defeat if you lacked items with Max Health percent damage. Overall these fights should feel more connected to the overall damage output of the squad. Fights against final bosses will scale relatively according to the power level of the squad, so if you’re overgeared they will be slightly faster!

• Bosses have had their health scaling and difficulty reworked to improve consistency!

  • Additionally, the distribution of damage dealt at the end of run screen will be less lopsided towards Max Health % based abilities.

  • The intent is that while Max health and Current Health percent damage types are still effective overall against final bosses, these damage types will no longer feel essential to defeating bosses.

• Here are some the specific adjustments:

  • Bosses now have substantially less health overall, but also have a special type of damage reduction which mitigates damage from all sources by 60%. This includes percentage health type damage.

  • Bosses have had their maximum health reduced dramatically.

Improved 3P difficulty scaling

• Health and damage scaling values for three player squads have been adjusted slightly to provide a more balanced experience playing with this squad size. Previously we felt the difficulty was relatively too high compared to two player and four player squads.

  • Brief delay before attacks after being summoned

  • Increased cooldown to prevent the Light Chaser ability from being used immediately

  • Damage from Light Chaser reduced by 50%

Powerup Drops

• Powerups have been adjusted to provide slightly greater effects, but also appear at slightly lower rates overall. Our intent was to make the powerups feel meaningful and strategic when they did spawn, and also to better synergize with the Set Bonus effects which increase the appearance rate for powerups.

• See the detailed adjustments below

Upgrade Card Balancing

• Added a new upgrade card type - Gold Earned!

  • When selected, this increases your gold earned during the run from all sources by the specified percentage shown. Note this also increases the gold earned from item sources such as the Draconess’ Horns helmet passive and Zramon’s Awakening evolved ability with gravestones.

  • The gold earned card always appears in the slot for the Helmet and can only be taken once per player per run.

  • The gold earned applies to any future drops from enemies, treasure chests, items, or other sources - so the earlier you take the upgrade card the more gold you can earn!

  • Note that the gold earned stat itself is not shared between players, but all gold collecting during the run is still shared as expected.

• Adjusted the values for several of the stat driven upgrade cards to improve their viability in runs

  • Life On Kill: ~100% increase to value granted according to rarity

  • Max Health Gain: ~25% increase to values granted according to rarity

  • Health Regen: ~25% increase to values granted according to rarity
