Developer Kevin Posted March 4, 2020 Developer Share Posted March 4, 2020 Hey Grifters! This update extends Rooks' story by an additional day. There are two new bosses to face, several new quests and random events, and a new faction to meet (the Boggers). Rook's parasitic infection is also now affecting his ability to negotiate!

In little over a MONTH, we will have rooks finale?!? Klei, you spoil us, truly you do Any trailers planned as of now or have you stopped to consolidate manpower to the game? No problems with either approach Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Developer Kevin Posted March 4, 2020 Author Developer Share Posted March 4, 2020 Aw, shucks. Y'all are going to make us blush We're not doing per-update trailers any more because we felt the that the animator effort was better spent on the game itself. There will be more trailers in the future though, for big releases. I'll make another post about the QOL update to share some of the stuff we're working on, and get a sense for what content people are looking forward to.

Alright, just wanted to know. went cold turkey on trailers, but i understand. better to push major things than small updates like beasts of the bog. least that's been straightened out.

simonex93 Posted March 4, 2020 Share Posted March 4, 2020 Question about something that i "probably completely missed"... what happened to the narrator(ess) ? at one point there were only 1 line going to bed, and the voice actress was different i think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matshazi Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 could we have more day 1 quests or events for rook where he can hire someone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pacovf Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 For the record, the "boons and banes" shown in the poster cannot be obtained by the player, as far as I can tell. You can't make Arint or Flekfis love you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Developer Kevin Posted March 5, 2020 Author Developer Share Posted March 5, 2020 Hotfix incoming: Fixed a lot of typos Fixed the description of Scanned to still be correct with multiple stacks Fix a possible crash when negotiating for ally help before the Flead Queen. Fully create FIGHT_ALLY modifier before adding it to the negotiator, to prevent a brief window where it doesn't have ally_agent set (you can tooltip it during this time during the creation presentation). Modifier:NotifyChanged only bothers to broadcast if it has been added to a negotiator, to prevent out-of-order modifier events. Fix crash when Twig is hatched while killing you simultaneously. fixed some casting / textual issues in baron_crime_scene.lua add some variant dialog for beating flekfis/arint remove some placeholder questions that we didn't end up using in rook_story_bogger_raid.lua put rise cobblebot combat strength to 2, rather than 1 remove placeholder text in baron_crime_scene Use a better combat party in the ambush part of rise_ambush_a_baron.lua Add self defense flag to fight to keep cores in baron_wild_pack_of_dogs.lua ROOK - Spotty now discards itself after being triggered. It has also been moved from Rare to Uncommon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RageLeague Posted March 9, 2020 Share Posted March 9, 2020 Do anyone feel like flekis is now ridiculously hard now? I'm on prestige 0 and for some reason his whirlwind can deal 8 damage per hit and like 7 hits total and an average deck at an average situation can negate maybe 3 or 4 hits. In addition, building a deck that plays many cards per turn is nearly impossible for rook, since Rook has 0 0-cost card that can be drafted, 1 card that can improvise 0-cost card, and 3 cards that can generate extra actions.

He hits 7 times but normally not for 10 damage on each hit though. Had a look at one of my recordings from 2 days ago. First time he uses Whirlwind was for 35 damage, second time he did 38. So I guess they must have buffed him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpicyNiceCream Posted March 9, 2020 Share Posted March 9, 2020 I destroy the negotiation parasite card with "amnesiator" without any health penalty, Is it intentional? Please say yes makes my life so much easier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has multiple cards whose cost can be reduced to 0 (based on charge, overcharge, empty or full charge). You can also get "weakness" cards that help: one effectively plays 3 cards for 1 action, and another applies a generous amount of cripple. You're also meant to save the scrap/junk items for the whirlwind turns. And while the damage of a single hit can go up to 8, most are lower than that. That being said, if you don't draw anything useful on the turn he whirlwinds, you will die. I've had no trouble with him even on high prestige, but I could see an argument for giving the junk items "sticky", or the "weakness" cards both "sticky" and "expend", to smooth out very bad luck.

SpicyNiceCream Posted March 9, 2020 Share Posted March 9, 2020 Yeah cripple and simply playing a lot of cards helps a lot. Also, counters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
