  Gadgets 3.0 - Patch Notes (388)

  It’s clear that gadgets is one system I’m still not happy with and trying to improve. This update aims to improve these things: While cool in theory, I really didn’t like how unlocking blueprints, and then still having to upgrade/roll those blueprints in mission felt. This update solidifies the feel that unlocking a blueprint means you have the tech to use forever in the future (as long as you find said gadget).Gadgets having a downside or cost is something I think fits the system well, but having to rely on other game systems to power some of them felt weird. I like that these perk rolls allow more ways for gadgets to be powered themselves.While gadgets are meant to be the one system where perks aren’t always useful, I really like that because of the randomized bonuses, the chance that a gadget is completely useless is drastically reduced. I’m still playing around with the cost and how gadgets are acquired, so expect further changes to that aspect of the balancing as well. I expect everyone to be a bit OP right now lolNewGadgets reworkTier and rarity have been split into separate systemsSimilar to previous, the tier is defined by the blueprints you have unlocked for that gadgetOnce a blueprint has been unlocked, that perk is always active whenever that gadget is equipped A new procedural system of perks has been created for gadgets Rarity (what color the gadget dropped as) is now what defines how many extra perks the gadget has rolled on it Many existing gadget tier perks have been rebalancedGadgets are no longer found randomly in maps (currently only found in vaults and stage transition shop, more to come)New system coded to show actions inputs in tooltips for menu buttons. Expect these to be added throughout all game menus over time.New system coded to toggle between basic/detailed versions of menus. This is intended to be used for future sub-menus I have planned and in places where the ‘show detailed information’ setting toggled on would overclutter menus. Expec...

  Boss Maps & Optional Objectives - Patch Notes (385)

  This was another large code update that sets things up for the future. Multiple things I’m excited about in this updateOriginally, I thought it would be really cool to integrate all the bosses into the procedural maps. Turns out doing that puts a ton of constraints on what I can make for boss arenas, as well as causes lots of problems with mission distances and pacing. Boss arenas should be unique and grand in scale, and having them as separate levels gives me that freedom now. I think a fade to black/loading screen is a small price to pay for how much more can be done with the arenas now. Consider the arenas somewhat placeholder for now, expect large updates to the bosses in the future. Mini-bosses will still be located in the typical procural mission maps. Spawning optional ‘sets’ of additional objectives sounded cool but always felt weird to me. Having optional objectives spawned within the same set gives a similar end result, but provides more choices to the player. Another cool thing this allows me to do is the classic ‘pick one door’ type of progression, where I spawn multiple objectives and you pick which one to do… usually knowing the reward type to help decide. More on that coming. NewMain boss arenas are now their own level, that you travel to at the end of an actMission code has been updated to allow for optional objectives to spawn within a mission setUpdatesCrusade/OperationsNo longer has an optional number of objective ‘sets’Each stage spawns 6 objectives, 4 of which are needed to reveal the extract point, completing the last 2 is optionalAct 1 boss ‘lightning wall’ attack reworked Small updates to both boss arenas Placeholder backgrounds/environments added to boss arenasFixesFixed one instance of extract spawning within an already spawned objectiveObjective info in the tacinfo now correctly updates right away, instead of having to open or close to tacinfo for it to update

  Patch Notes (384)

  UpdatesThe Hud tips system has been re-enabledTips aren’t shown until the training checklist has been completedThe tips covered by the training checklist system have been removedTips don’t pause the game, even when offlineI see this now as supplementary knowledge that can be easily skipped/missed and doesn’t hurt the basic necessities of knowledge that the checklist system now provides.Unused path skills now show up in the incomplete loadout indicatorImproved the overall look of the game while on lowest shadow settingsImproved the look of some particle effects on lowest effects settingEnemy scaling changesPresence no longer passively increases when no objective is active Passive presence gain during objectives has been increased Instead of adding a Mutation on objective completion, enemy presence is increasedMany interactables now add small amounts of presence on useEnemy stat increase per presence has been reducedThe intent here is two-fold:Reduce/remove scaling with time. I don’t want ‘go as fast as you can’ to be the default optimized way to play.Shift most of the basic health and damage scaling into presence level, so that I can make mutations more specific and tailored, improving both consistency of difficulty and unique feeling mutations.I have no doubt this will need balancing moving forward, feedback greatly appreciated Mutations(Blitz) Now affects Presence gain instead of the enemy’s attributes from presence(Heavy) Now only affects Knights. Increased to 8% per stack (was 5)(Rending) Now only affects Mercenaries. Increased to 8% per stack (was 5)(Trappers) Now only affects Ranged enemies. Increased to 8% per stack (was 5)(Smoke) Now only affects Mercenaries.(Resilience) Now only affects Knights. Increased to 7.5% per stack (was 5)(Ward) Now only affects Mercenaries. Increased to 7.5% per stack (was 5)Fixes(Berserk Mutation) Now actually works correctly (not sure when it broke)
