New Content

• New Spring event, NPC, goodie bag, Nametag, and 2 more Event cards!

Balance Changes

v1.82 - New Class & Speedrunning! (May 20, 2023)

New Content

• Vman added hehe let me add a few more words here to disguise this part of the patch notes, i think this is enough. Eh, better write a few more just to really blend it in.
• Enabled fighting animations outside of dungeon. I may disable this depending on how wonky it looks, but I wanted to give this a go world-wide.
• Checkmate! You can finally be 'One Step Ahead'

Quality Stuff

• You can now place traps for other characters from the same character at the Trapper Drone. Yes, this means both things. You can now place all 80 traps without swapping, and all traps can be from your most effective trapping character.

Bug Fixes

• Fixed 777 harvest achievement to always work, before it would be a bit inconsistent.

• Fixed a bug where leveling up a cardset would not apply its increased bonus until you re-equipped said cardset.
• Fixed a display bug where upgrading a card to 4* or 5* using a cardifier would place the new border exactly 1 pixel too high, which was just disgusting and uncalled for and honestly rendered the game unplayable as it would temporarily blind anyone who had to witness such an egregious graphical error.
• Fixed an issue in Tower Defence where "Lava IV Skull" enemies and higher (waves 130+) would not give points. They now do. Yea thats a big time fix, a one in a krillion fix, hmmf.
• Fixed a display issue with the POW-10 and MULTI Talent UI Displays, where they would be inconsistent if you open/close "Player Stats" via the purple flag

Bug Fixes

• Fixed the "Rift 3" bug involving completing a rift on multiple characters, where it wouldn't count some characters if their name was a 'smaller part' of another characters name (like trying to complete on LavaFlame, if you already completed on a different character called LavaFlame2). Now it will work as you'd expect, no matter your names.

• Added the 4 starter hats as SUPER rare drops to a monster in each world, W2, W3, W4, and W5.

Quality Stuff

• Added a "Kick Inactives" button to Dungeon Lobby, shows up if you try to enter a dungeon with people in your party missing.
• Edited the display for Deathnote, so that kills "hug" the right side, and are in a neat orderly column. Much easier to ready!
• Added major buffs to YANG cogs: from 40% Build rate / 40% Flaggy rate, to 100+% Build rate / 100+% Con EXP rate. By 100+, I mean they scale based on your highest Construction Lv (they start at 40% at Lv 1, and go up to the mid 100s%)

• Lowered Gold Twine cost for Troll helmet : 10 --> 3

Bug Fixes

• In the 3d printer, having both 3x and 2x universal bonuses (from Divinity and Lab) will display the printing amount in Purple, to differentiate it from Yellow if you just had 3x.

Balance Changes

• Neutered some early maps in World 1, you'll see what I mean. RIP
• Adjusted Ghosts to drop from Moonman 10x more frequently, but also increased costs associated with Ghost rare drop by x5~x10. This is so that the world 2 Djonnut quest to collect a ghost is easier to complete.

Bug Fixes

• Fixed an unintended method wherein you could fragment your sailing ships AFK progress and get a few more chests. Apologies for those who enjoyed doing this, but long-term this is not something I want to be a part of the game. Considering the exponential scaling of sailing, this should have almost no impact on things long-term either, although short term this is frustrating. Thank you for understanding, hopefully you see why this needed to change long-term.
• Dungeon Happy Hour popup notification will expire once Happy Hour is over. Before, the popup would just stay on your screen until you Close it, leading to people thinking there was a happy hour when it already ended!
• Fixed an issue where the Sizzling Skull attack for Shamans could result in a crash if used for hours over and over.
• Clicking on the "Low Survivability" Warning triangle in the top-left will no longer exit out of menus if you have them open. Basically, you can't accidentally click on that yellow triangle anymore!
• Fixed an issue where, if you had a certain Atom that grants a Trimmed Construction Slot, that slot wouldn't give the normal 3x Trimmed Multi to speed if you didn't also have the Trimmed Slot Jewel active in Lab. Now the slot from the Atom gives the 3x speed regardless of Lab Jewel status, as you'd expect it to.
• Fixed a crash on Mobile where, in rare scenarios involving unlocking Atoms in the Collider, you may be unable to play.
• Removed all 14 items from The Slab in world 5 that are no longer obtainable and never will be again.
• Fixed an issue with The Slab where you couldn't possibly add dungeon weapons onto The Slab that you can no longer acquire due to having a higher minimum starting dungeon weapon. These have been retroactively given, go see for yourself!
• Fixed a small but annoying bug where you couldn't invite people to party/guild/friendlist if you had ATTACKS bar open
• Adjusted HP bar height of Frog bosses in dungeon so its above his head not over it. This will probably quadrouple your dungeon efficinecy, maybe even sextuple it if u know what im sayin'
• Fixed incorrect values for Ancient Crystal Steak Artifact, and Zen Style in divinity

v1.72 - Atoms (January 11, 2023)

• Added the atom collider, now buildable within construction in world 3! It requires some skulls from World 5 monsters to build at first.

• Raised the max lv of the Talent Library in construction from Lv. 50 to Lv. 100

Quality Stuff

• After completing the 3rd Troll-kill Task, the one that requires you kill him without failing one of his minigames, he will start vulnerable for 5 attacks whenever you fight him in the future.
• Pressing the [+] button in Shops with QUICK mode active now sets purchase quantity to MAX instantly
• Added new pictures for ALL bubbles, and added a small dot to 'big bubbles' to make them distinct.

• Fixed a bug where Birthday Cards would crash on Mobile if used in a town
• Passive Bonuses from Gods in Divinity in world 5 are now called Minor Link Bonuses (not the family-wide bonuses, but the secondary ones. You'll see what I mean. Its way better this way)
• Fixed a bug where, if linked to lab via Arctis the Bear, certain lab things wouldn't function that should. This includes Souped-up Lab Tubes +30% distance bonus, and being able to see the Px distance of that character on the right-side of the screen.
• Fixed Opera Mask sailing artifact's bonus to correctly factor in gold bars owned
• Fixed a bug where Cards would sometimes count as Slab Items, even though they don't appear at all and shouldn't count obviously. They no longer count as Slab items.
• Fixed a bug where crafted items, if immediately used up/used to craft something else, wouldn't count for Slab. The instant they are crafted, they will count for slab.
• Fixed a bug where items would be unable to be picked up when active-fighting, and would eventually cause big lag.
