Path Skills Rework - Patch Notes (341)

[p]I’ve made this change to the path skill system for multiple reasons: [/p]

• [p]While I think the previous system was interesting, it tended to feel more like ‘not getting the build you wanted’ instead of being interesting in mission choices. [/p]
• [p]This update now gives me a perfect place to incorporate the ‘boring stat upgrades’ that rogue-lites need for power scaling and build specializing, without having to dilute the more fun path skills or beacon pools with them. [/p]
• [p]Unlocking a path and initially equipping it now gives the passive and a full mission’s worth of stat upgrades, improving the new player experience [/p]

[p]This skill system is very much in work, expect further large changes to how skills are selected, laid out and balanced moving forward. I have some cool ideas to make the perk ‘tree’ more fun than simply points in a row :)[/p][p]This is only phase 1 of the update, expect lots of buffs/nerfs to many path skills in the near future[/p][p][/p][p]New[/p]
