Hotfix v.0.6.54

Hey there, quick hotfix to solve some problems (specially the first one)!

* Fixed a bug with the Endless Bag item triggering its effect before a character turn, when one card was casted because of an item activation (f.e. Lava Crystal)
* Fixed a bug that let players buy pets without spending gold for it.
* Divination and reward cards descriptions will now be modified with the character perks.

Hotfix v.0.6.53

Hey everybody!! Thanks to your feedback, here is a hotfix with some fixes to the game, quality of life additions and some minor changes.

We have delayed this hotfix because we've been working hard on the Obelisk Challenge. The improvements are there and is advancing really good, we will be able to show you some things regarding this new game mode in the following weeks.

As usual, thank you so much for your help and suggestions!

Quality of Life

* When you enter a map node that discountes the price of an upgrade/transform or card remove, the system will now show the old price. It was hard for new player to understand the value of some upgrades when the discounts were 100%, now you will be able to decide with that factor in mind.
* In the load slot for coop games, you will be able to know which player was controlling each character (this will work with games saved after this patch).
* When you load a coop game, the character slots will be preassigned to the same players that were playing the loaded game (this will work with games saved after this patch).
* Repositioned the Exit button in the Craft screens so it doesn't interfere with the Chat window, in coop games.
* To avoid mistakes using the town services (craft, remove...) with multiple characters of the same class, the last used character will be active when opening a new town building (f.e if you were crafting cards in the Magic Forge with Andrin, when you close the window and open the Church to remove cards, Andrin will be the first selected character).
* Improved the card search functionality to give more precised results. Furthermore, the problem with case sensitive searches has been solved.

Bugs

* Fixed a bug in attacks with double damage type against targets with Evasion. Now, one Evasion charge will make the character evade both damage types instead of just the first one.
* Regarding some coop crashes, we've modified the order activation of some items while keeping their effects (Dryad mask I'm looking at you!)

Changes

* Preparing the game for the upcoming "Pet slot" (a new slot that will let you be able to equip pets instead of sharing the accesory slot) pets now have a fixed cost regarding their rarity. This price doesn't increase anymore, instead it will always be the same.
* A +100% bonus has been added to end-game chest rewards for madness levels 1 and 2 (from madness difficulty level 3 onwards players can't claim nor gain treasure chests).
* In the madness levels, the "Restricted Power" corruptor has been added, which adds a cap to various auras and curses, and has been removed from the base madness difficulties. (In order not to create a new madness level we have moved the corruptor that gave you 2 "Death's Door" when a hero died to base difficulty, starting from difficulty 7).
*Nerfed the monster card Amnesia, reduced the damage a bit and added vanish (we'll see if this change is enough for now).
* Bulk Healing, reduced the cost to 2 (from 3).
* Dilute, base value reduced to x0.5 (from 1) of your poison/bleed, the yellow version (poison) is x1 as before.

Hotfix v.0.6.52

Hey everybody!

Thanks to your feedback here is a hotfix to solve some of the issues that you've reported since we released the "Madness patch" and also some minor changes, on few cards, that were suggested.

Fixed some problems with items and traits that were not always triggered (ex. Shield expert, etc).
Fixed a problem with Dryad Mask in coop that sometimes crashed the game.
Fixed a problem when a pet killed one of the monsters, delaying the next action of the game.
Fixed a tooltip with stanza that showed bonus damage to piercing.

All especial character cards will have vanish.
Captain's Howl, cost reduced to 0(1), added vanish.
Coldspark, cost reduced to 1(2).
Expert tracker, added vanish.
Fiery Shield, cost reduced to 1(2) Changed to be also usable with the fireproof trait.
Heat Laser, Changed to work with the number of cards in the hand.

Thank you everyone for your support, suggestions and reports!!

Hotfix v.0.6.51

Hey everybody!

This hotfix is mean to solve a problem in the game with some events leading to a crash state (when the character rolled a critical fail), preventing the game to continue.

On the other hand we have added the "Search Bar" functionality to the Tome of Knowledge and the cards that are unlocked will not be hidden anymore. We've done this so you can see all the items and cards available in the game even if you still havent unlocked those.

Also some graphic adjustments have been made for some resolutions (big ones) that were reported in our Discord.

Finally, Steam Summer sales begin in about two hours and we want to remind you that Across the Obelisk is going to be discounted by 15% (same as the Early Access release).

Thank you for your support and happy sales!

Hotfix v.0.6.5a

Hey everybody! Hope you are having fun with the new madness levels (and the rest of the improvements). This hotfix have the next changes:

- Solved the problem that some users had loading old multiplayer games.
- Improved the "search bar" option in the Forge building (crafting cards). You can now search for almost any card propiety... repeat, front monster, song, discover, etc... try it!
- Improved the Heiner starting card "Heat Laser" (was an error from our side)
- Changed the activation order of some "Dispel" items. It is invisible in "playing" terms but we felt those items (lucky paw, soap, etc) were sometimes crashing the game while their activation. We hope this brings more stability overall!

And that's all. Please, as usual, don't forget to report any problem!
Thank you for your support.
