Quest Master News

We're rolling back the newest content update really quickly to figure out a major issue of people's game crashing on startup when they have too many mods installed.

We didn't find this in QA, apologies for that.

The patch will be rolled out ASAP.

Thanks guys,

Julian

The strongest bow of them all, shooting out three arrows in a spreading pattern. Great for mowing down hordes of enemies!

A surprise update - with kind regards to Danielle, a beloved member of our community and Discord moderator!

Happy Birthday Danielle from the QM team and especially myself, Julian!

As a small gift, we implemented your Auto-Coffin suggestion!

The Auto-Coffin automatically revives a player upon death! It does not need external attacks to do so.

The default coffin got a makeover!

Enjoy your birthday a,Danielle - and everyone, enjoy this new dungeon part!

[h2]Player Defense Reduction[/h2]

Previously, the player had a base defense of 0.5 which halved all incoming damage.

We've been getting increasing feedback that the game is too forgiving in terms of damage which results in people spamming their dungeons with enemies and traps.

As of version 0.11.14.20, that base defense has been removed.
The change is versioned, meaning old dungeons are unaffected.

Please let us know if this change is good or if we should revert it!

[h2]New Focus Type[/h2]

A new focus type has been added which will make the object itself be ever only focused once, as opposed to each individual action.

The new type in the context menu.

Stepping off the pressure plate does NOT cause the door to be focused.

You can now use the Tornado Rod while in the air - this should allow for some cool new tricks and puzzles!



You can still only use one at a time and cannot cheese the system.
