Playtest Patch 0.58 "Rarity Shuffle"

Hi folks! Time for another round of balancing tweaks and improvements. 🤖

Patch Notes - 0.58 "Rarity Shuffle"

GENERAL CHANGES

• Lighten Enhancement (-1 Load) now doesn't increase Load via future Enhancements

• modifications to card Load are now indicated via red / green Load numbers

• an Enhancement's effect on draw speed is now previewed (for in-deck cards)

• slightly reduced chance of Enhancement drafts (not quite as common as cards anymore)

• Wild Hog is now called Kevin (actually always was, but now we know)

• added music tracks for run end screen

• various wording improvements + German translation fixes

• various bugfixes and minor UI tweaks

MODULE CHANGES

🖨️ Dev note: Besides general power balance, the general direction here is trying to make infinite effect loops from Modules harder to put together. Effect convertors like Shield-Sword, Repair Shield or Paladin's Hammer were previously all common and would often push you into crazy effect chain territory early on in a run, making the rest of it more about "enjoying the ride" rather than build-crafting. Now, don't get me wrong, this is neither a multiplayer game nor meant to be the tighest strategy game of all time that harshly punishes non-optimal choices. Broken synergies are part of the fun! That said, if they are too consistent and dominate every single run, things can become a little stale.

• Armor Breacher: rare -> epic | Damage 15 -> 30

• Bomb Kit: rare -> common | Damage 50 -> 30

• Cruelty Remnant: now works on Attack *cards*

• Energy Drink: rare -> epic

• Paladin's Hammer: common -> rare

• Repair Shield: common -> epic | Heal 5 -> 10

• Shield-Sword: common -> rare

• Toxic Shield: epic -> legendary
