Hello Fellow Outlaws

First off, As always, thank you for all your feedback, they are incredibly important for us to move in the right direction! Second, We also want to give a big shout-out to the fearless players who faced the Necromancers Pact in the Private Beta. We applaud your bravery as you battled your way to higher infamy levels. As you might have read in our last news, Bounty of One's development is coming to an and we won't push the new updates on the main branch of the game until release (we want to make sure, everything is ready for it). You will however be able to test out the new things we've added on the public beta when we update it or even sooner if you decide to take part in the private beta. Be that as it may, if you wish to keep the surprise for the full release, here is a...

SPOILER ALERT

[spoiler]

The Necromancers Pact

Giving you more options to get stronger would not be fun without a challenge to overcome. Thats why we decided to revamp the Infamy system. Basically, from level 0 to 10, your experience will be similar to the current state of the game. After Infamy 10 is where the real fun begins however, from here on out, you will be introduced to the Necromancers Pact! In this menu, youll be able to choose the difficulty you inflict upon yourself and things will quickly get out of hand with some crazy run modifiers. Some examples may include: - Increase the number of foes trying to catch you by 30/60/100% - The drop rate of hearts is reduced by 50/75/90/95/100% - etc. Get ready to face Infamy difficulties well above the current level 18.

The New Super Black Market

Fist of all, The Super Black Market wont stand in your way of achieving these awesome achievements and scores in the game. To allow for that, we rebalanced it a bit since it previous version was a bit over the top otherwise, it will still be way stronger than the normal black market but not in a way that trivializes the game. Here are some modifiers that are included include: - Enemies have 5/10/15/20/25/30% chance of dropping coins twice - Mythic upgrades have a very low chance of appearing in level up choices. - etc. Dont worry, the new Super Black Market will have your back as soon as you clear Infamy 11. / Those two steps should allow for a more delightful experience overall. It doesnt trivialize the game, but it provides exciting challenges and lets high-score achievers show off their talents. [/spoiler]
