[Game Update] - 645651

[V2C]

Notes on Wendy's changes

Changes

• Wortox
  • Overloading with excessively large amounts of Souls will increase sanity losses depending on how many excess Souls are removed from the overload.
  • Knabsack has been removed from the Storage Solutions crafting filter.
  • Naughty Inclination will now reduce the healing power received from Souls, but will not reduce the healing power given to others.
    • In play tests the healing received by other players being reduced was unclear as to why it was not as high as expected, so it was removed in the last hotfix as a blanket change for both inclinations. This change brings the concept back in for its intended goal. Now when Wortox players go into the naughty inclination they do it knowing of their own reduced healing but other players will get what they expect Soul heals to give.
  • Shadow Harvester area damage will no longer hit walls outside of PvP.
  • Wortox Decoys will now spawn every first Soul Hop even if it does not distract anything.
    • Play tests were showing players expecting this to always happen without needing to have something aggressive on the player nearby.
  • Opening a Soul Jar will now expire all Soul Echo timers so that they may be immediately added into a Jar.
• Wendy 
  • Grave Beautification now lets Wendy pick Evil Flowers safely.
  • Increased the rate the Sisturn overheals Abigail.
  • Gestalt Abigail’s changes:
    • Damage has been lowered.
    • She is no longer untargetable during her attack.
    • When she drops below 25% health, she stops attacking until her health goes above 25%.
    • If her health goes from above 25% to 0 in one attack, she will live at 1 health.
    • Vex time has increased a little.
  • New skill path added: Mourning Glory
    • Level 1: Refine Butterfly Wings back into Butterflies spending Mourning Glory.
    • Level 2: Craft hat made from Mourning Glory that lets the wearer drink Elixirs. These have similar but lesser effects than when used on a pure ghost.
    • Level 3: Craft a grave that survivors can use as a revival item. Similar to the Meat Effigy but uses Mourning Glory as the key.
• Walter
  • Slingshot base attack speed increased.
  • Slingshot grip changes:
    • Grip Tape & Void Wrap: Adds a ramping attack speed boost during repeated shots, which resets when interrupted.  Charged shots will instantly bring you up to the max speed.
    • Sticky Grip & Jelly Grip: Adds a fixed attack speed boost as well as preventing the Slingshot from slipping when wet.
    • Slingshot using Void Wrap will gain set bonus from Void Cowl, which affects shadow planar ammo.  More details below.  (Note that the ramping attack bonus from Void Cowl does not apply to ranged weapons.)
  • Ammo changes:
    • Icky Rounds: Reduced duration of effect.
    • Dreadstone Rounds: Chance to not break on impact.  Void set bonus grants a damage buff.
    • Pure Horror Rounds: DoT has increased duration, shorter delay between ticks, and increased max stacks up to 4 times.  Void set bonus grants a damage buff to initial hit, as well as adding two extra ticks to the DoT.
  • Aimed shots and area damage ammos won’t hit walls anymore.
  • Updated stunlock handling for certain large creatures (Frostjaw, Spider Queen, Koalefant, and Nightmare & Scrappy Werepig.
  • Slingshot Field Kit can now be used while mounted.
  • Woby badge changes:
    • Added badge description panel to the Woby Training Station UI.
    • Fetching badge: Woby will now attempt to pick up any nearby item, as long as she holds at least one of that item in her bag. Since this is more effective, the cooldown has been slightly increased, also reducing the action distance.
    • Digging badge: Increased minimum success rate. Decreased overall cooldown.
    • Support badge: Added sanity regeneration when riding Woby. It scales with the badge progress as well. Attacking now also increases its progress by a flat amount. Now levels up faster.
    • Bravery badge: Attacking also increases its progress by a flat amount. Now levels up faster.
    • Speed badge: now levels up faster.
  • We plan to continue working on Woby and expanding the skilltree, but these changes may not make sense to release one bit at a time, so they will likely come in a larger patch later, possibly after our Christmas break.
     

Bug Fixes

• Fixed a crash related to Decorated Graves.
• Fixed a crash related to Abigail Flowers in containers.
• Fixed Wortox with Nice Inclination treating Pigmen and Catcoons as hostile for default attack target selection.
• Fixed The Picnic Casket not being craftable with the skill.
• Fixed bug where modded Slingshots could not be swapped onto Mannequins.
• Fixed bug where charged shots reduced planar damage instead of increasing it.
• Fixed Woby digging on boats.
• Fixed Support and Bravery Woby badges not leveling up based on damage taken.
• Sisturn will overheal even when the player is a long way away.
• Some bugs are fixed with a burnt Sisturn and healing Abigail.
• Fixed Ancient Fuelweaver breaking apart too early when players are still attacking it but it is unable to target a player.
• Fixed Cloudy Carmen applying its effects on things that never slept.

Thank you for implementing this.

here is hoping. i dont even like walter, but i still want every character to be given a good skill tree  rn hes still just hold f but now ranged is good for the low risk and low number of items it requires. id still rather play wes honestly

I kinda missed that downside unironically.

still such a confusing """skill""", to just have woby be an item generator with this skill?

thematically it fits, the naughty gets punished for being selfish XD

[arubaro]

I like the downside back for the naughty side but i wished there will be changes to his skill tree, the sack feels kinda out of place and there are many filler skills

Totally unnecessary

Considering how many reserve souls you can hold and how easy soul spike makes farming, it probably won't be that big of a deal

[_mylilsunshine_]

good thing i took an all nighter for this

friendship ended with celestial champ, now fuelweaver is my best friend. shadow walter is the goat

with that being said, will lunar walter be brought up to par with the power level of void gear too? @V2C

Knabsack has been removed from the Storage Solutions crafting filter.

the fact it was allready on there sould tell you that it sould have been something about storage instead of it being used as a weapon, wich i still think it sould be able to kidnap certain creatures because it would fit so well with the krampus kind of things

[Dingle]

I'll take these changes to mean that Wortox is pretty much done.

Will play him more when I can and do one last big feedbacm post.

[Echsrick]

i still think the locks on wortox skill tree could be made better, as it is needing 5 points and the things below it is just makin it not realy a free choice what to take, like there no real build choices so to say

[aidankocherhans]

Dang, has any base character been updated nearly as much as Walter when the tree was added?

I was just enjoying our little break of increase healing. I knew it was gunna change before release unfortunately lol.

Yeah, it's kind of thematically awkward. Based on the bag krampus uses to grab stuff off the ground, that he can drop on death but is also totally different.

I'm just not sure why this is for gestalt Abigail specifically

Now is it possible for other, non-Wendy players to get the buff? If so, there could be a new top speed possible (speed elixir hat on WX)??

[Mr Giggio]

You guys. Thank you. Much love and welcome changes.

Would have been fun if was also a bug net.

Also having spacebar trigger its multi pickup feels horrible in practice.

[Lucas Rego]

Wortox and Wendy = NICE!

Walter = The badges concept for Woby still is not worth it, if I have the speed and the dig one activated, I cannot level both, since Woby needs to be small to do 1 action and big in another…

honestly I will give up on Woby, I was expecting something considerable to change, reducing cooldown and tweaking for the badge system got me upset, not gonna lie

[Dingle]

The decoy change for Wortox sounds great by the way. I understood how it worked before, but when actually playing the decoy sometimes would not come out for reasons I couldn't fathom.
