Gameplay Adjustments

Traps

Dev Notes: The barricade scaling was specifically for players getting deep in their runs or starting to scale up the difficulty. Barricades were just getting destroyed too fast at those higher levels. This provides barricade consistency across higher levels of difficulty. The rest are technically bug fixes or provide visual consistency for things affected by said trap.

Barricade and Rift Barricade health now scales with Difficulty and Mission Count

Decreasing trap cost distortions from 100% to 50% and fixing supply/demand distortion text

Making trap cost increase distortions no longer affect the rift barricade

Traps buffed by the Healing Tree’s organic traps thread now display the same glow as the Time Crystal trap

War Mages

All Heroes Adding Damage and Aggro Immunity during all Ultimate activation animations

Dev Notes: This was intended to allow players more safety when activating ultimate's during the heat of battle.

Kalos Calling Stone (Special) health now scales with Difficulty and Mission Count

Dev Notes: This allows the Calling Stone to remain consistent across difficulties and later mission runs.

Harlow Primary damage increased from 28 to 32

Secondary damage increased from 30 to 35

Wind Blast (Special) can now launch all Hunters by default

Big Henry’s damage now scales with Difficulty and Mission Count

Dev Notes: First 3 bullets were specific buffs to add to her dmg ability. There was feedback that she felt a little weak. Big Henry's change was also intended for late game or difficulty constancy.

Sophie Increasing movement speed modifier during Shadow Form (Special) from 2 to 2.5

Adding Damage and Aggro immunity during start-up of Shadow Form (Special)

Dev Notes: Sophie's changes were mainly to make her move speed feel faster during Shadow Form and to make her safer when activating the ability.

Threads

Reducing Make it Rain thread coin drop chance from 50% to 25%

Levels

Dev Notes: Switching Troll Archers to Ogres was to prevent Troll Archers from hitting barricades that are placed in their line of sight when attacking the Rift Crystal. Troll Archers can still appear in a wave via the random Onslaught nodes. Rift Crystal change was to make sure ALL enemies could hit the crystal. Some enemies would either not attack at all or miss their attack.

Allowing a chest to spawn on boss maps and their repeatable versions

Replaced Troll Archers for Ogres in Fish Market Onslaught

Adjustments made to Rift Crystal to allow minion attacks to more reliably hit the crystal

Dry Docks - Added ceiling trap space along the second-floor market area

Enemies

Dev Notes: Unstable Rift and Water Elemental Orb health were to make them easier to kill as players reached higher level counts or on higher difficulties. Red Rift Elementals were also a bit too hard as they scaled to higher levels or difficulties. The dmg reduction makes them safer to fight for melee heroes. There were complaints of Firelings being a little too hard to counter or to protect barricades from. Especially with many enemies or things happening on screen.

Unstable Rifts Decreased health from 5000 health to 2500 health

Increased chance to spawn Blue Elementals

Decreased Water Elemental Orb health from 2000 health to 1500 health

Red Rift Elemental Decreased health from 10000 health to 7500 health

Decreased damage dealt to players from 150 damage to 75 damage

Elemental Firelings are now Player Hunters. They will no longer target barricades, but their explosion can still damage barricades

Cyclops Mage: Adjusted fire point of projectile. This is to help reduce projectile unintentionally hitting barricades

Distortions and Blessings

Reducing Lane Opener from minus 3 barricades to only minus 2 based on player feedback.

Fixing Supply and Demand text to correctly reflect the trap cost increase of 100 additional coin per trap placed

Reducing Ceiling Tax, Floor Tax, and Wall Tax distortions from a double cost increase to a 50% cost increase

Separated the trap cost increase and trap cost decrease multiplier channels so that trap cost reduction threads do not feel as weak when trap cost distortions are taken

General

Dev Notes: This change was to help with the frustration of needing to get the last hit to get credit for the kill.

Changed “kill all enemy” milestone to no longer require Bosses, Little Moneybags, or Blue Elementals
