Weekly Pupdate (10/6/20): Update #44

SOON WE DESCEND

In the next week or two, Major Update #5 will be upon us. What does that include? Three new zones, a bunch of quality of life upgrades, new equipment, enemies, bosses, and more. The next update to Ephemeral Tale will be Major Update #5. I'm not entirely certain that the update will drop on the 13th, but it should drop by the end of next week.

[h2]Ephemeral Tale 1.27.1 Changelog[/h2]
  • Players can now directly influence the encounter rate through the options menu
  • Lowered the drop rate of potions in all zones (roughly ~10% overall, mostly from 9% chances to 7% chances across numerous enemies)
  • Lowered the drop rate of Scroll of Power across rare enemy types (roughly 20% overall, about a 6% drop across 4 rare enemy types)
  • Buffed Psychopomp Empress a moderate amount (Defense from 25 -> 30, Magic Defense from 35 -> 40, and HP from 2500 -> 2750)
  • Buffed Bobbity-Boo a moderate amount (Defense from 23 -> 28, Magic Defense from 36 -> 41, and HP from 1200 to 1750)
  • NOTE: the above numbers are base values, and scale depending on a number of factors
  • Adjusted animations for several skills ever so slightly
  • Crushing Blow’s damage has been lowered to 20% of the target's current HP (down from 40%)
  • Devastating Blow’s damage has been lowered to 40% of the target’s current HP (down from 60%)
  • NOTE: The above may end up changing further in the future, this is part of a larger change coming to bosses & mini-bosses
  • Lowered appearance rate of Fish x5 encounter in the Occluded Oasis


There are some extra changes coming to Ephemeral Tale with the arrival of Major Update #5 outside of the planned scope of the update. Almost every single battle background has been revamped to be pixel-compliant, and should look noticeably improved from their current iterations. Additionally, a bunch of the area banners have been remade as well.

Sorry for the short Pupdate this week, but I feel a need to get back to work! Less time writing is more time wrapping up Major Update #5. With that said, please enjoy the update, and we'll talk again soon! Stay safe and have fun!
