Meet the Devs #20 - Frost Orb, updates and much more!

[h3]Join us next Tuesday for Meet the Devs #20, this time with Andrei taking the mic! [/h3][p][/p][p]He'll be walking us through some of the upcoming updates and giving a first look at the Frost Orb. 🧊 [/p][p]🗓️ Tuesday - June 24 - 2 PM PDT [/p][p]Twitch[/p][p]Discord Event[/p][p]If you miss out, check the post later, and the VOD will be uploaded here.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][hr][/hr][p]Season 1 is underway:[/p][p][dynamiclink][/dynamiclink][/p]

Season 1 - Hotfix 8

  • Fixed the campaign quest ending at 16 instead of 22
  • Fixed players who aren't your friend showing up in friends list
  • Adjusted the lighting for Crypt and Greenwood Night when using low and medium settings to better match with higher settings
  • Fixed floating loot spawns on Greenwood Day and Night
  • Fixed a collision error on the Green Ruins Deathmatch map.
  • Adjusted Drop Rates on the Crypt map
    While loot will still significantly better than it was before the update, we felt the current rates were a bit overtuned. Our goal is to strike a balance where finding powerful gear feels exciting and meaningful, without becoming so frequent that it loses its impact. We’ll continue monitoring and tuning this as we get more data and feedback.
