GENERAL CHANGES
Wording Changes
- We are taking some steps to reduce the visual complexity of our items via wording changes
- This is a work in progress
- Specifically, we are doing the following:
- Removing "for the fight" in favor of specifying permanent effects
- Removing "Shield" from sentences like "Your Shield items gain +X Shield" which will now read "Your items gain [Shield Icon] X"
- This is not a change in functionality, and is only a change for readability
Item Spawning
- Corrected an issue where sometimes Bronze items would spawn late in the run when they should not
Legendary Item Costs
- Reduced the sell value of Legendary Small and Medium items to be more in line with normal item value scaling
Flying
- Standardized the effect ordering of Flying effects on cooldown such that they fire before other types of outputs that are on also on cooldown
- For example, Clockwork Disc will now make itself Fly or stop Flying before dealing damage
- This only affects items that makes themselves Fly
- When an item is destroyed, it stops Flying
- This previously did not trigger "stops Flying" effects and has been corrected to do so
Enchantments
- Continued to make consistency pass and improvements to Enchantments across the board
- Numerous enchantments have been adjusted and fixed as a result
- Many items with missing enchantments gained them
- Weights, Lifting Stones, and other similar "buff" items have had many of their enchants updated to also buff items
"is Slowed" effects
- Most effects of this class have been consolidated to "When you Slow this" for consistency and interoperability with Radiant and other Slow prevention effects
- Some items like Security Blanket and Moon Orb remain "is Slowed" as they are a different thematic concept
- We have also updated "is Hasted" similarly for wording consistency, but this should have minimal gameplay ramifications
Level Up Changes
- Made some changes to the gold-gain options
- Added secondary tags to many options
- Reduced the high end of the gold gain
- This normalizes the values you tend to get from the options
- Added some additional options to several Heroes
