Patch Notes: v0.4.5
We are thrilled to bring you the latest update for DYSTERRA, packed with exciting new features, improvements, and bug fixes. This update introduces an enhanced Perk System, empowering players to level up their perks for additional effects and faster progression. The Hologram Decoy receives an update, allowing turrets and mobs to recognize it as a threat. We've also expanded the Titanium acquisition path, making it easier to obtain both fine and regular Titanium. Additionally, we've made various improvements and addressed several bugs to enhance your gameplay experience. Read on for more details!
Here's a breakdown of what to expect:
Introducing the new Perk Upgrade feature.
Players can now level up their perks by using three cards of the same level and TP to ascend their gameplay to the next level.
Leveling up grants random additional effects, aiding your progression in the game.
Turrets and NPCs now recognize decoys as hostile entities and will attempt to attack them. Since attacking a ‘hologram’ shouldn’t be possible, we’re changing its name to ‘Dummy Decoy’. Use dummy decoys strategically in housing areas or in areas with high mob density to divert their attention and gain a tactical advantage.
Obtaining fine and regular titanium has become more accessible. Defeat Juggernauts to obtain fine titanium, and acquire regular titanium through advanced supply pods.
After carefully evaluating player feedback and analyzing gameplay data, we have identified an opportunity to further enhance the balance of our game. As part of our ongoing efforts to ensure an optimal gaming experience, we have made adjustments to the siege hammers and their impact on housing walls. These changes aim to fine-tune the gameplay mechanics and provide a more balanced and enjoyable experience for all players.
