Update 3 brought a lot of stuff to the game, and the community brought some issues to our attention that that could be improved, both in terms of balancing and bug fixing. [b]We appreciate all of your feedback![/b]
[i]In this patch we intend to address the most immediate issues. [/i]
For clarity, some of the main concerns from the community were:
- [b]Pilgrimage Lootboxes didn't feel rewarding enough[/b]: Rare lootboxes will now guarantee a rare item, with potential for picking out unowned commons once you’ve gathered all the rares. [i]Note: Difficulties still only affects XP and not lootboxes - this is planned to be addressed in the next update.[/i]
- [b]Optional objectives not feeling rewarding enough[/b]: Now they'll award a common lootbox, so completing them has a reward (other than XP).
- [b]Freedom Loadout feels out of reach for newer players[/b]: We reduced the required rank for this to level 12.
- [b]Alloy and Biomass not giving bonus XP makes looting less meaningful[/b]: We reintroduced this! Now extra alloys and biomass will give XP again at the end of a run.
- [b]Tally Screen was feeling too slow[/b]: It has now been adjusted to make it faster and more clear (Intention is to later add a 'skip' button)
