Open Beta: Changelog 0.99.17

Hello Heroes!

New changelog for the Open Beta, you can see all the changes below. As always, thank you for your reports!

[h2]QOL OF THE ORACULUM[/h2]

The favors are now ordered in a more coherent manner, and this order should remain more consistent.

In addition to that, we’ve also added some tabs to allow for some filtering, which should help navigate the Oraculum and its countless favors.

Depending on its effect(s), a given favor can possibly be found in several tabs: we’d rather have duplicates but allow for a favor to be found easily when looking for it than the opposite. (e.g. a favor unlocking an Omen increasing Heroes’ attributes can be found in “Omens” as well as “Heroes”.)
