Alpha Playtest #5 - Patch Notes

Welcome to Alpha Playtest #5, Adventurers!

[h2]TL;DR[/h2]

This is our final Alpha test before Early Access. In this build we introduce the Warrior's 3rd weapon — the Deathball! Also featured in this build is the Ossuary module for the Lodge, the Wraith and Spider creature as well as many other Elites.
We'd love feedback on all of these additions, as well as specifically the drops and loot from the Elites.
Final content we're working on is the Tutorial Map as well as the Campaign Questline and finalization on the level art and content in Greenwood.
⚠️ Unfortunately there are still some bugs that will make it into the build since we're in Alpha, please see the Known Issues section for a list of those.

[h2]💖 Featured Changes[/h2]

💀 New Warrior Weapon: Deathball
🪦 New Lodge Module: Ossuary
💎 New Gear Mechanic: Gems & Socketing
🤖 New AI: Elite enemies, Special enemies, Goblin Brawlers, Wraith, and Spiders

[h2]🗒️ General Changes[/h2]

Fixed an issue where the death animation would replay on characters after looking away from them

[h2]💞 Matchmaking[/h2]

Reconnect - Added a re-connection window, allowing players to rejoin in the case of any sudden client crashes or disconnects

[h2]⚔️ Combat[/h2]

Fixed Aim Sensitivity so that it remains consistent when abilities adjust FoV or move the camera
Added a predictive delay to the visual glows on the characters for Evade, Unstoppable, and Unblockable states to increase their accuracy when shown
Increased the rotation rates of players both in and out of combat
Fixed an issue where getting Knocked Down and Rooted at the same time would cause your character to be stuck in the flatten state for the rest of the session
Fixed an issue where players that were Rooted and Stunned at the same time could still fully rotate their character during the stun
