Patch 0.70

Patch 0.70 touches on a lot of issues and features I've wanted to get to, but haven't yet been able to prioritize. And thanks to some incredibly detailed bug reporting on the Discord (here: https://discord.gg/YbdSHs58m9) I've been able to squash dozens of bugs that I either hadn't been able to track down, didn't know existed, or were recently introduced when I made other systems changes in other patches.

Patch 0.80 will bring a number of updates to the Arena mode, and certain rings in arena. But these patch notes are long already, so I'll detail all of that when it actually matters. Onto the notes!

[h3]Full Patch Notes:[/h3]

New Boss

• Infested Cryomancer: A more dangerous variant of the Infested Pyromancer now shows up in their place in Delve 2.
  

Quality of Life Updates

• Options and Controls now save locally and not in the cloud. This is for smoother transitions between multiple machines (such as Desktop and Steam Deck). Allowing each to maintain its own local resolution and control config. Your options and controls will be reset 1 final (hopefully) time.
  
• Support and detection of multiple controllers. You can now switch between connected gamepads during gameplay.
  
• Added an AZERTY layout option for movement controls (QZSD)
  
• You can now view your inventory at the end of the game
  
• The game should no longer immediately skip the post-game screen if you are holding the button to confirm when it pops up
  
• Made it possible to reactivate the Electromancer's Theurgic with the attack toggle button
  
• Auto-Aim will now attempt to focus the guards surrounding the Qrystle Queen boss before the boss, when targeting highest threat enemies
  
• Crystal Construct's targeting function should run faster on slower computers
  

Balance

• Bosses
  - Infested Pyromancer: Now only shows up on Delve difficulty 0/1
  - Infested Cryomancer: New boss shows up on Delve Difficulty 2
  - Qrystle Queen: Now only shows up on Delve Difficulty 3
  
• Frost Bomb
  - Cold Open: Now triggers only 1 frost bomb when you recharge your staff even if your frost bombs have gained bonus targets. Text has been updated to match.
  
• Innatrix
  - Swirling Salvo: Trigger your staff attack in 2 random directions when you activate your innate ability. No longer a signature boon.
  - Sacrosanct: When you activate your innate ability, gain +1 second of invulnerability. 6 second recharge.
  - Deja Yu: Now a signature Boon
  
• Surging Sphere
  - Zap Dash: Every 6th sphere you collect, become invulnerable and move 50% faster for the duration.
  
• Hibernation Curse
  - +2% freeze chance (5% > 7%)
  
• Snow Pack Charm
  - Freeze duration is now 1 second, down from 2
  

Text Updates

• Tome of Snow Cone now correctly states that it deals 15 damage to enemies
  
• Jolting Javeline Staff now states the recharge time and number of charges
  
• Scattershock Staff now states the recharge time and number of charges
  
• Scattershock Staff now states the recharge time

• When playing in arena, the text indicating future boon cost increases no longer shows up as it does not apply in arena
  
• The text for Deja Yu now stats "triggered when you activate your innate" instead of "when you use your innate" because there are some effects that trigger when your innate ends that are not copied by Deja Yu.
  
• The text for Combusting Rune now says "when your innate ability ends" instead of "when your innate ability finishes" to be consistent with the Recursion Boon in the same talent tree
