Endless Update (0.3)

Updates

New

  • Endless mode: continue your runs indefinitely with an updated set of rules!
  • Shops: added a Permanent Upgrade that allows you to upgrade your gear and reroll affixes at the main shops
  • Hub: Added a new Codex menu, accessible from Sigourney once you've rescued her. Currently, it only shows very few and simple stats - this will be improved in the future.
  • Online: Improved the menu to join games. You can now see all ongoing sessions. You can also set a specific difficulty so that players can only join if they have unlocked it. Only the creator of the session can now change the difficulty mode.
  • Trinkets: new visuals for the Laser
  • Weapons: new visuals for the Umbrella
  • New skin: Snake

Endless Mode

  • Unlocked through a new Permanent Upgrade at Eperin
  • When finishing a run, you'll then have the option to launch a new harder loop
  • This mode comes with new rules, so you can break the game:
    - You have a lot more Gift slots
    - Stat limits are greatly increased (mainly, Trinkets max refill speed and Weapons max attack speed)
    - Weapons and Trinkets can scale infinitely
  • Each loop is harder, with more enemies and stronger scaling. Additionnaly, all crow control effects become less effective with loops. Starting loop 6, their duration is reduced by 30% each loop (up to 90%) for Elites, Bosses and strong enemies. Starting loop 10, their duration is also reduced by 30% each loop (up to 90%) for ALL other enemies.
  • Try to reach the highest loop possible! A reward might appear somewhere, but who knows...
  • This mode comes with a new achievement: "Complete an Endless loop"

QoL

  • Interactives: you can now interact with all of them during combat, except the ones opening UIs (e.g. Gift Givers, NPCs)
  • Made some effect descriptions clearer
  • Gameplay: added a slight delay to enable flask dropping after interacting with an object Version 0.3.0.1
  • Endless Mode: Hot Springs: the heal now scales with your maximum HP Version 0.3.0.3
  • Localized new text entries Version 0.3.0.3

  • UI: added a warning to the "Quit to desktop" button that progress will not be saved Version 0.3.0.6

Balancing

  • Changed how Base Damage was calculated. It is now equal to the damage done before any modification, instead of just ignoring Weapon/Trinket levels, which led to many possible exploits.
  • Magifishes: the Trampoline damage calculation has been changed in multiplayer. Damage bonuses continue to apply, but up to a damage cap (based on the target and its max health)
  • Economy: increased the price of giver rerolls in multiplayer
  • Endless Mode: the scaling (health and damage) now changes depending on the difficulty. The mode is now easier on Clear Sky and Cloudy, while it's harder on Tempestuous and Cataclysmic. Version 0.3.0.1

  • Magifishes: all cooldowns now last for longer (3 min instead of 2 min) Version 0.3.0.2

  • Endless Mode: damage multipliers reduced a bit Version 0.3.0.3
  • Endless Mode: Economy: Shell rewards behind gates now scale Version 0.3.0.3
  • Endless Mode: all crow control effects become less effective with loops. Starting loop 6, their duration is reduced by 30% each loop (up to 90%) for Elites, Bosses and strong enemies. Starting loop 10, their duration is also reduced by 30% each loop (up to 90%) for ALL other enemies. Version 0.3.0.3
