Oaken Tower News

[h3]Hotfix v0.2.7.1[/h3][p]🔸 Added more King Midas interactions with "Make an Offering", and fixed a bug where you didn't get anything by offering him a home-brew.[/p][p]🔸 Fixed a bug where you could accidentally buy an item in the shop by clicking on a triple reward.[/p][p]🔸 "Freerolls" option by Traveller now says: +2 free rerolls, and +2 each day.[/p]

[h3]Greetings, Oaklings.[/h3][p][/p][h3]Preparations on soft-matchmaking has started. [/h3][p]In some days, it will be activated and match you against other players of similar rank.[/p][p]The 3 matchmaking buckets will be:[/p][p]🔸Bronze + Silver[/p][p]🔸Gold + Emerald + Diamond + Master[/p][p]🔸Grandmaster[/p][p]Again, this has not been activated yet but is anticipated to kick in in a week or so.[/p][p][/p][p]Potion Market: No longer a guaranteed day 5 encounter. --> Now day 6 encounter, and "Visit the Market" now only offers 5 potions instead of 6.[/p][p]Dev comment: [/p][p]There was something exciting about the encounter spread of day 3, 4, 6, 8, 9. Not having too frequent encounters makes them much more special.[/p][p]Other than that the day 5 guaranteed potion shop was extremely polarizing. Either people LOVED IT or they absolutely hated it. It was also very hard to balance as some items benefited astronomically by having it as a guaranteed encounter.[/p][p][/p][h3]4 New Encounters:[/h3][p]🔸 Traveller (Day 4)[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]🔸Home Brewer (Day 4)[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]🔸Sage (Day 6)[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]🔸Lyra (Day 9)[/p][p][/p][p][/p][h3]Balance:[/h3][p]🟢Priest (day 3) Restoration: increase max hp by 200 for 3 days --> 225[/p][p]🟢Blacksmith (Day 4) Heavy Armor: Start of Combat: Gain 130 shield --> 150.[/p][p]🟡Bulwark (Rare): 2.8s cooldown --> 3.4s cooldown | 25 shield --> 20 shield | Ability revert --> "On trigger: Permanently gain +1 shield."[/p][p]🟡Experience Vial (Potion): gives +10 XP --> 12 XP (divisible by 4) | 7 gold --> 8 gold.[/p][p]🔴The "Potion shop" lucky roll from Carmen has been moved to the slightly more unlikely bucket of lucky rolls.[/p][p][/p][h3]Other:[/h3][p]🔸When there are 5 rerolls left before price increase kicks in, the reroll button will now show a small countdown to keep track.[/p][p]🔸If you gain free rerolls the reroll button will now show how many free rerolls you have left.[/p][p][/p][h3]Fixes:[/h3][p]🔸Trying to use a Phantom Brew on an Elvish Orb no longer consumes the phantom brew and does nothing.[/p][p]🔸The "Retry connection" button when losing connection has been made more sophisticated, and should work more consistently now when trying to reconnect. The retry connection button will also display a status code for debugging if there is one.[/p][p]🔸I think I have fixed the bug where some people rarely got matched against a lategame build on day 1.[/p][p]🔸Potions now work properly when the game "resets" between successive fights vs The Oak.[/p][p][/p][h3]A heads up:[/h3][p]Thank you for all of the feedback on Oaken Tower.[/p][p]Some feedback has been positive/constructive and some has been negative. Either way, I appreciate that you want to share your thoughts on the game. I listen to all feedback, and together we'll make Oaken Tower the best game it can be. And remember: It's still a free demo / beta test and we are currently in the exploration phase where you can help me test different approaches :)[/p][p](Image from Video by Jonas Tyroller)[/p][p][/p][p]As always, the PvP environment will take an hour or two to rotate out old builds from the pool.[/p][p][/p][p]//Bocary[/p]

This encounter will always appear on day 5.[/p][p][/p][h3]Item balance:[/h3][p]🔴Elvish Orb (Epic): 12s cooldown --> 13s cooldown | Text change --> "This can't get multicast".[/p][p]🔴Tome of Blades (Rare): 2.4s cooldown --> 2.6s cooldown.[/p][p]🟡Bulwark: Epic --> Rare | 40 gold --> 35 gold | Ability --> "On trigger: Gain +2 bonus shield."[/p][p]🟡Lifeguard (Rare): 3.1s cooldown --> 2.9s cooldown | 30 shield --> 20 shield.[/p][p]🟢Sword Techniques (Rare): 6s cooldown --> 5.6s cooldown.[/p][p]🟢Mythic Rod (Epic): 3.4s cooldown --> 3.2s cooldown.[/p][p]🟡Voidstinger (Legendary): 2.9s cooldown --> 2.4s cooldown | 50 gold --> 45 gold | "When you apply a debuff, permanently gain +2 damage." --> +1 damage. //Dev comment: The Voidstinger now has better base stats, but permanent scaling is now more reliant on getting the combo pieces Soulsplitter + Arcane orb.[/p][p]🔴All Essences increased from 10 gold --> 15 gold.[/p][p][/p][p]Encounter balance:[/p][p]The "Potion shop" lucky roll from Carmen has been moved to the slightly more unlikely bucket of lucky rolls.[/p][p][/p][h3]Other:[/h3][p]🔸You can now right-click the train button to train an entire level, spending the required gold.[/p][p]🔸After fighting The Oak you will be put back to the end screen.

[h3]Greetings, Oaklings. Back with yet another update![/h3][p][/p][p]New day 9 encounter: Potion Market.[/p][p][/p][p]The potion market is a unique encounter that doesn't feature 2 different choices, instead you will enter a shop with only potions where you can reroll as normal.[/p][p]After the potion shop you will enter the regular shop.[/p][p][/p][p]Balance:[/p][p]🟢Crescentshot (Rare): 10 damage --> 8 damage | 2 multicast --> 3 multicast | 3.5s cooldown --> 3.4s cooldown.[/p][p]🟢Lunar Codex (Rare): 3.4s cooldown --> 3.3s cooldown.[/p][p]🟢Tome of Blades (Rare): 2.5s cooldown --> 2.4s cooldown | If you have at least 4 daggers, gain +4 bonus multicast --> at least 3 daggers.[/p][p][/p][p]Fixes:[/p][p]🔸Some mistakes in the item library screen has been fixed.[/p][p]🔸Crystal Flare had no business being crystal.
