Version History

112025.a1

Released November 21, 2025 (Steam post).

Game / General

Due to many skill adjustments for this update, skills on outdated characters will be reset, and skill points will be reimbursed.

• X-input game-pad support is fully implemented A notice panel asking you to choose between keyboard or game-pad will pop up on game startup. It will not prompt again when a choice is made.
• Added more dungeon patterns to the Sanctum Catacombs and Crescent Grove.
• Revised the dungeon instance pattern system for entering a dungeon, making it a server-side shuffled queue rather than basing the last played pattern on the player.
• Fixed bug where starting a party inside of a dungeon instance will not allow new party members to enter the party leader's concurrent dungeon instance.
• Reduced the amount of breakable vases in some Crescent Grove patterns.
• Decreased the size of all Boss Chests, and added a currency drop to them.
• Adjusted the defense stat formula, making the bonus against standard weapon attacks less harsh. This change is to make melee combat more impactful, especially for lower level experiences.
• Increased the attack rate speed of Katars / Fist weapons.
• Increased base damage outputs on many of the lower level weapons.
• Critical hits can no longer be passively blocked.
• Added 5 more storage tabs for the item storage system, up to 8 storage tabs in total!
• Spike now opens the storage immediately without having to press a dialog button after his introduction dialog.
• Updated the Who Tab, making side icons for list refreshing, muting / unmuting toggle, invite to party, and leave party buttons.
• Added a buffer for Lobby hosting / creation. Once the lobby is loaded, then it will appear on the list browser. (This mostly fixes getting stuck on load screen, followed by disconnection).
• Fixed the password input panel for lobby hosting being multi-line instead of single-line, which lead to issues of accidental line additions by pressing enter.
• Added a "Notice" icon on the stats button in character creation to signify that there are unassigned attribute points.
• Added a toggle to disable the net-play disclaimer when hosting or finding a net-play lobby.
• Parties can now hold up to 6 people. Larger party sizes will be considered.
• Updated the party member cells, making them more readable and cleaner.
• Added a button to teleport to the party leaders map instance in the Who Tab. The player will need to be either on the Communing Catacombs quest or have completed it to use this function.
• Added a party leader ownership transfer system. You can give someone in your party leadership in the Who tab menu if you are the party leader.
• Added a share quest function on the quest menu tab. You must be party leader to share quests to others in the same party. If the players do not meet the requirements, they will not get the quest.
• Added a quest track toggle system for the Quest Tab Menu, allowing you to hide / unhide certain quests from tracking progress if the hide tracker setting is disabled.
• The tracked quest lists will now display where to return to after completing the quest.
• Added a counter next to the quest cells while in a party, to see how many party members have the quest to make quest sharing process easier.
• Quests will no longer show a progress message if they are completed, such as slaying more of the mobs that are needed to be slain for the quest, or with the amount of items needed.
• Locked quests on the quest selection menu will no longer display the description / rewards on the tab menu cell panel.
• Increased the fade in and fade out speed of the centered map / zone title text.
• Updated the font for the chat-box, making it more readable / simplistic, since the old font was very stylized and overlapped characters.
• Room chat has been replaced by the older "Zone" chat channel. This channel will display messages sent by players who are on the same map instance as you. This feature was often requested, and the prior Room Channel was reportedly used often as a zone chat channel amongst players.
• Game logic feedback and chatbox text will no longer abruptly fade in / fade out while the in-game UI hide toggle is on.
• Increased the opacity of the cool-down counters for action / skill slots for more readability.
• Fixed projectile prediction issue where mob projectiles on client-side go through the players.

• Fixed a collider issue at the gateway area in Sanctum which got players stuck, having to restart the game to get unstuck.
• Fixed passive skill objects not instantiating on client-side if the player spawns into a different map instance from the local player. (Bulwark effect not appearing, etc)
• Fixed the UI host console ban / kick / disconnect buttons not functioning due to the nickname / command call fix.
• Fixed skill icons that have no resource cost not greying out if the player is dead.

• Holding the dash button will disable interaction queues with portals and other interactables.
• The Ctrl + F12 hotkey to disconnect only applies while loading now, it will no longer function when in-game. The disconnect / cancel is the back button for X-input game-pad mode.

• Life Tap now replenishes a fixed amount of 60 mana instead of the entire mana pool.
• Decreased cool-down for Life Tap from 80sec to 6sec.

Fighter

• Lethal Strike is now a passive. Much like the Mystics Blink and Bandits Agile Technique, it is now a dash modifier skill that requires holding and releasing the dash button to execute.
• Execute now siphons life on hit for each target, healing the fighter 15% of the damage back to them on successful hit. Perhaps a taste of what's to come for the future Berserker subclass?

Game / General

• Fixed Screen Mode and Screen Resolution setting drop-downs. Setting resolutions and screen mode should work properly without hassle now.

• The settings menu cells can now be additionally navigated using the left analog stick while in the main menu (not in-game).

• Added an official Steam input template for Steamdeck for the native game-pad support mode, which just makes the right trackpad and right trigger button emulate mouse movement and left mouse clicking.

• Fixed issue where several dungeon pattern objects were being spawned in awkward positions

• Fixed issue where party members can go into a dungeon while the party leader is in a different dungeon.

• Fixed issue where longer spike panel traps have their spikes culled depending on camera angle.

• Fixed several effects that happen on different map instances showing up for the host player if they are not on the same map instance.

• Fixed a packet accumulation bug where it would potentially disconnect a player while playing.

Hotfix 1
Released November 29, 2025 (Steam Post)
