[Game Update] - 531266

[V2C]

Changes

• You can now use force attack to target other players’ hostile shadow creatures regardless of your sanity level.
• Controller changes:
  • Spell wheel now remembers your last selected spell.
  • Twin-stick aiming for AoE targeting spells.
• Shadow Sneak changes:
  • Slightly increased panic duration.
  • Minor movement speed debuff to panicked targets.
  • Added a visual FX on its targets.
• Shadow Prison changes:
  • Additional players will no longer cause the prison to break faster than a single player.
  • Added a warning animation when the prison is about to break.
• Shadow Servants, Polly Rogers, and the Lazy Forager will no longer automatically pick up:
  • Powdercake, Eternal Fruitcake, Distilled Knowledge, and books like the Cookbook.

Bug Fixes

• Fixed bug where Shadow Prison pillars were not visible for flying creatures over boats.
• Fixed bug with the Equip action not showing up for Magician’s Top Hat on controllers.
• Fixed bug with the Stop action not showing up when using Magician’s Top Hat on controllers.

Notes to Modders

• “shadowdominance” is now a component instead of just a tag.

tbh, not very happy with the prison time reduced to so little on bosses in the first place, but yes, thank you for fixing it.

Phew! Good changes!

I honestly can't wait for the fixes to be over so I can finally play Maxwell in normal version (also really excited for the animation, of course!)

Is it now possible to aim the spell like I hope so?

Yea. You can move it all around within its maximum range from you and spam it out until you cancel out and it follows you while you are moving.

@V2CHello! Is the Shadow Storage not being cross-shard intentional, or is it because of technical limitation?

[Mr Giggio]

Welp. Time to test it tomorrow and see what is happening. For now it seems like we got+ 2 seconds if compared with the last nerf, but still 4 seconds lost from before any nerf. The animation advice mechanism might make up for it so I ll not along much for now. Gnight yall and thanks Klei for ur hard work.

Thanks for passing along the info

I hope this can be applied to other similar items like the dumbbell and the lazy explorer in the future.

[Lil Jay]

I thought there would be more nerf.

Yay! I'm happy to see the previous implementation still be considered. I thought it was a lot more immersive with sane players being unable to see AND attack shadows creatures spawned from other insane players, but I understand the game hasn't given the player enough capabilities for revealing shadow creatures while sane. I hope this can make a comeback sometime.

Unfortunately this is a technical limitation.

Minor movement speed debuff to panicked targets.

does this apply to all methods of making enemies panick? If not then it would probably be a fitting addition.

but regardless of that the hotfix is fantastic and i love it

Perhaps every maxwell needs his own Shadow Storage?

[Cloakingsumo198]

What happens to the items in Maxwell's hat and chester when he enters caves?

 

[CyberSkink]

YAY!
