Update 1.5.3

Hello, brave knights! Tortuga Team is here. We have prepared a major new update full of long-awaited balance tweaks, network improvements, and important new features for Knights of Braveland on Steam.

Hero and Balance Changes

• The Artisan is ready for battle: The Duelist has been officially renamed to the Artisan across all available languages.
• New weapon for the Pirate: The Pirate has swapped his final sword for a much more fitting cutlass.
• Fortune favors the Thief: The coin drop chance for the Thief has been increased from 1% to 3%.
• Rich loot: The chance of coins dropping from crates and barrels is now significantly higher, and we have fixed an online co-op bug that prevented gold from dropping out of smashable objects.

Network Improvements & Steam Rich Presence

• Steam Rich Presence: Your friends will now be able to see which map you are currently on and exactly which raid you have embarked on in Steam.
• Stable Connection: We have completely reworked the random lobby search system and fixed network connection bugs — finding a team and joining a game is now faster and smoother.
• New pings on maps and in quests: In co-op mode, you can now click on options in text quests or on the map — your teammates will see bright sparks and immediately understand where you want to go.
• Audio Notifications: Added a unique new sound when successfully joining a random lobby, ensuring you never miss a team assembly.

Bug Fixes & Optimization

• Shop Fix: Fully resolved a critical issue that could break the game when approaching merchandise on the shop counter.
• Capybara Boss: Conducted final fine-tuning of the boss mechanics and online attack parrying.
• Hidden DLC Content: Boss portraits from unowned DLCs are now properly hidden on the selection screen.
