VERSION 0.8.0: - Several traits (over 100!) have been rebalanced or re-worked. In general, these traits are now more powerful than before, but some overpowered traits have been rebalanced or changed entirely. You can find a full list of trait changes at the bottom of these patch notes. - Battle backgrounds have been replaced with new graphics. - Added 5 new types of artifacts to the game. - Added a new Improved Forging castle upgrade for the blacksmith. - Enemies now have a chance to spawn in packs of creatures of the same race. For example, you can now sometimes encounter packs consisting of all Waspids. Tribal creatures (Diabolic Horde, Waspids, etc) have a much higher chance to spawn in this way than non-tribal creatures (Storms, Unicorns, etc). - Rebalanced the looting system. In general, you should find items at a more consistent rate than before. Previously, you typically found nothing but garbage at lower levels and way too many items at higher levels. This should be fixed with this change. - Effects that activate on healing now only activate if the creature was not already at full health. - You can now equip artifacts from the creature context menu. In addition, the tutorial now explains how to equip artifacts using this method instead of the other one. - You can now toggle left/right to select a different creature while viewing your creatures' artifacts, or while in the creature context menu. - Stable groups can now be saved or loaded, but no longer swapped. This should make it much easier to manage your stable groups now. - Resources can now reach any realistic number without rolling over to negative values. Please report any abnormalities you find related to resources. - The item 'Scroll of Renewing' has been replaced with five new scrolls that can be crafted at the Nether Goblet. These scrolls work just like the Scroll of Renewing except now you can choose which Nether Aura you want. - The level of your Nether Creature is now based on the average level of your party. Therefore, Nether Creatures no longer gain experience points in battle. - The materials transmutation interface now displays a description of a legendary material's trait. - Numbers in battle, such as damage and healing, are now shortened if the number exceeds 99,999. For example, 8234852 damage will now display as "8.23m". - Missions now reference 'Degree of Success' rather than 'Chance of Success', since it's not actually possible to "fail" a mission - only to do better or worse than others. - Sigils with the 'Immune to Attacks' and 'Immune to Spells' properties have been renamed for better clarity. - The victory screen now displays your total resources using shorthand expressions (such as 1.52b instead of 1,520,000,000). - Greatly decreased the amount of time it takes for realms to spawn, particularly later in the game. - Further optimized the game to hopefully prevent looting from causing lag. - The Silver Jester who offered to delete your sigils has been removed from the tavern. - Changed the effects of the 'Master Shapeshifter' card since it was redundant with the game's mechanics. - Fixed a crash that would occur if you fought the Pandemonium King while the Pandemonium Presence perk was active. - Fixed a crash that could occur with the 'Starvation' punishment. - Fixed a bug that caused the 'Duplication' trait to grant a Barrier that absorbed 0 damage. - Fixed a bug that caused the 'Immune to Debuff' artifact property to continue to work even if an artifact was removed due to effects such as the 'Decay' spell. - Fixed a bug that caused your creatures' off-class Spell Gems to be unequipped after an arena match. - Fixed a bug that caused spheres from Eternity's End to persist into other realms. - Fixed another bug that caused players to find duplicate breeding recipes. - Fixed a bug that prevented your Nether Creatures' mana bonuses from being acknowledged in the detailed stats sheet.
