New Content

  • Wickerbottom
    • Wickerbottom can no longer be forced to fall asleep.
    • Wickerbottom can now craft the following new books:
      • The Angler's Survival Guide
      • Pyrokinetics Explained
      • Overcoming Arachnophobia
      • Tempering Temperatures
      • Lux Aeterna
      • Practical Rain Rituals
      • Lunar Grimoire
      • Apicultural Notes
      • Horticulture, Expanded
      • The Everything Encyclopedia
      • Lux Aeterna Redux
    • Wickerbottom can also build a cabinet to help conserve her books.
    • Tuned Wickerbottom’s stats when it comes to eating stale and spoiled food and her health.
    • Shadow Creatures now Spawn when Wickerbottom attempts to read her books while insane
    • Maxwell now suffers 2.5 times the sanity costs as Wickerbottom when reading Wickerbottom’s books.
  • Added the Hostile Flare
  • Added the Fencing Sword for riposting fences.

Changes

  • Wortox
    • Wortox will be able to Soul Hop to past explored locations through the Map.
      • The cost of souls is proportional to the distance travelled.
      • There are visual indicators to show cost increases.
    • Wortox will now be able to Soul Hop a second time for free if done within a short time of the last.
    • Wortox will get slightly more hunger from eating souls.
    • Wortox will gain a small amount of sanity for being healed by a soul.
    • Wortox Souls now only heal hurt players and have more diminishing returns when healing groups of hurt players.
  • The Wortox who deals the killing strike is guaranteed at least one soul.
    • This is intended to help prevent fighting for nearby souls when souls are being created but prevents boss soul drops from being fully claimed

Thanks to everybody for all the feedback and bug reports during the beta period. We're still watching so keep it coming!

As always, this update will also bring a new animated short, as well as many bug fixes and balance changes, a new streaming item "The Nouveau Crown" and we'll be hosting a Rhymes With Play Dev Stream as well.

Not to be that guy but no Walter mention in notes?:cry:

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but since Joe did not have the heart to tell you, I guess I have no choice:

They are rolling the Walter changes back. It's sad, but true.

If nothing else the end is nigh really needs to change.. most of the feedback incorporated thus far have been just nerfs and huge nerfs at that. 

Nevermind the huge portion of wortox and other survivor changes and brand new generic items that got squeezed into wickerbottom’s beta when there are still lacklustre aspects about her…

yeah. i'll throw my hat in the ring and say once more that i really hope the grimoire gets changed to be less expensive. It seems like so many people on the forum want this/agree with it and yet it hasn't came yet.

Many great and reasonable suggestions have been made for some of the more niche/lacklustre new books too and those havent made it in either except larger arachno web that still cant slow down “lunge” moves. 

Someone should tally up the wickerbottom notes in the patches and see how many of them have been nerfs vs buffs to lacking aspects. 

from two moon rocks straight to an opal and 2 moth wings has to be the biggest nerf the game has ever seen. 

And wicker was already one of the first to receive huge nerfs when applied horticulture got split.

honestly the more i think about this, how often do you need fullmoons? and with the library being a 2% now i can see this not being as much of an issue for uses, however, this does make it so that you can't get it early unless you waste your star caller and moon caller

The sole addition of the rain rituals book makes Wickerbottom so important. Not just that, but skilled WX players will have little excuse for being uncomfortable with the new rain meta since we can now farm Deerclops Eyeballs with the new flare item.

I believe this will be one of the most impactful updates since the addition of the ocean.
