[b][h3]Hey Shapers![/h3][/b] The Corruption Update is here! We've added more features to improve build variability and the next phase of Overlord narrative. We've also taken a look at mod compatibility and gear leveling systems in response to community feedback and made a bunch of changes that we hope y'all love! [i][b]New Feature: Corrupted Overlords[/b][/i] [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/43840536/ed217125d85cd6d24fc81e852a36131da7b1d066.png[/img] Without spoiling too much, we have added a point after which Overlords will become corrupted. This adds a twist on to the Overlord encounters, changing their visuals, dialogue, and makes some of their attacks more dangerous. [i][b]New Feature: Gear Affixes[/b][/i] Gear will now drop with 1 of 17 unchangeable affixes. These affixes will affect gear stats, ranging from modifying damage, to weapons' rate of fire, and even projectiles' size and speed. We wanted to add even more variety to the weapons in your runs and allow you to discover new weapon/affix combinations to improve your builds in interesting and interactive ways. [i][b]New Feature: Corrupted Weapons[/b][/i] [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/43840536/5675c1c772bd2cf5244b361e9fa5774f1095e66c.gif[/img] One of the potential affixes that can appear is the [i]Corrupted[/i] affix, unlocked after you have defeated VerOS at least once. This affix significantly alters weapon properties, turning it into something entirely different. In this update we've added the corrupted versions of 15 weapons - try to find them all! In our next major update, the remaining weapons will have their corrupted variants added. [i][b]Reworked: Gear Leveling[/b][/i] [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/43840536/7b223cfa046bb02cf6b8fffae3210bb6cbf9dd4e.png[/img] We've reworked the way gear level affects the scaling of your weapons and abilities. There are now 6 gear levels in total, and once you have access to the Cipher Cloud, you will be able to upgrade the gear level of your weapons and abilities by spending gold at Huck’s Emporium. [i][b]New Content: Curse Debuff[/b][/i] [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/43840536/6f05307e07fc8c1b4cad3aceb04faa1153c95c80.png[/img] To increase the difficulty of end-game runs, we’ve added the [i]Curse[/i] debuff. This debuff will lower Ada’s max health per stack. You will cleanse one stack of Curse with each encounter you clear. Once you defeat VerOS for the first time, the eyes in the Orbital complex will begin to apply the Curse debuff to players. Corrupted Overlords will also apply Curse to players with some of their attacks. In the next major update, we will add a more ways for players to receive Curse stacks. [i][b]Major Improvement: Gear Modifier Compatibility[/b][/i] We’ve previously had many gear modifier and gear combinations set to be incompatible due to technical constraints, but we’ve gone through the full list and removed a majority of these incompatible combinations. You should now have the freedom to play with more combinations of gear and modifiers than ever before!
