Hello hunters!
Today we are releasing our next Hunt:
Ruined Capital. This is Part 1 of our update, which adds a new location and all of the usual goodies that a new Hunt includes. In the next couple of weeks, we will be opening up the beta for Part 2. See below for more details on what has been added now and what is to come soon!
Highlights include:
- A new hunt: Ruined Capital
- New location
- New boss, miniboss, rots, and imbued rots
- New weapons
- New armour pieces
- New unlockable powers
- New decor items, masteries, and titles
- A Super Frenzy in a new location: Blisterbane Bog
- New Imbued Enigmox fight
- New Enigmox boss weapons
- Our first steps towards revisiting existing armours and weapons to make them more viable and interesting
Please note: the Heartstone for the boss in this Hunt will not give you any ability, as we are in the process of reworking how Heartstones work. The new system aims to give more build freedom and creativity while using Heartstones, as well as making every clear of every Hunt feel rewarding. This new system will not be coming in this update., but any Heartstones you collect will still benefit you in the future in the new system, so your time collecting them will still be worthwhile.
Once again - thanks to all the players who joined us in the beta branch. Your feedback is integral to us.
We're already hard at work on our next big update which we expect will hit beta in February. That update will introduce
Farming and
Cooking to the game, as well as a new
Frost Fabled Power Family.
- Farming will give players alternate and parallel ways to progress their character that aren't tied solely to doing more runs. This will be a new source of materials (new and old), gems, and more in the future.
- Cooking will allow you to prepare a meal to go, which can give you a specific Power to start your Hunt with.
- Frost powers will let you harness the cold of Bonechill Quarry against your enemies wherever you go, giving you a whole new set of impactful powers to help your Hunts and provide per-run variety.
Please keep the feedback and suggestions coming. We'll have an announcement relatively soon about the next beta.
See you then!
Save files
Save files are NOT transferrable from the Beta Branch. Due to changes made during the beta, transferring the save from the beta branch to live will irreversibly break your save. Please DO NOT move your save. We will leave the beta branch open for 7 days in case you have anything you'd like to finish up from your beta save.
