addedNew Stuff================== - Added the "Judgement" effect to both priest spells. Causing enemies to explode when killed - Witch's "Flame Wheel" spell is now a toggleable spell that drains energy as it remains active. Spell damage and size have been adjusted as well. - Witch's "Fireball" spell now explodes when reaching target point - Introducing the Hyena enemy, a simple melee mob with faster movement speed than the standard gnoll
removedAdjustments======================= - Decreased hold time needed to "Equip" items from ground - Removed revolver from the chest drop pool - Players now move at regular speed when performing melee attacks
changedAdjustmentsBalance - Rebalanced enemy spawn tables to be more lenient at beginning. Will probably adjust one more time in next patch to slow difficulty curve more. - Enemy movement speed across the board decreased by ~20% - Reduced enemy Heavies base health by ~35% - Due to scaling difficulty & rarity on mobs, HP on big mobs could get out of hand
addedAdjustmentsAI - Melee AI is more aggressive - Enemy AI is optimized to recalculate pathing less when further away from the player - Added some objects to navmesh detection for better enemy pathing. They are still getting stuck on some corners but overall pathing is much better.
fixedFixes========== - Runes stay socketed when upgrading weapons - Gold and Energy are now affected by magic/rare mob drop quantity modifiers - Fixed item duplication glitch when transferring a rune from one slot to another on the same weapon - Fixed some tile boundaries in dungeon generation that would allow them to overlap - Fixed navigation errors on the weapon & rune upgrade table for controller when upgrade was not affordable
