November 1, 2023 Beta Update

New Content:
  • The Gilded Gauntlet has been added.
    • The Gilded Gauntlet is a series of challenges within the Gilded Spire that each offer extra difficulty beyond that of a standard Blinding run. Gauntlets will typically offer the standard Blinding rewards (65 Eclipsium and a gilded weapon), on top of rewarding the player with an Essence Remnant when the player completes a Gauntlet for the first time with a weapon within a given week.*
      • * Weapon skins are not counted separately.
    • Essence Remnants are rewarded as items, but are a currency solely used by the Gilded Gashapon.
    • There are currently 4 Gauntlets available; more Gauntlets will be added in future updates.
    • The Gilded Gauntlet will not appear for players who do not own at least one gilded weapon.
      • This is to prevent less skilled and less aware players from starting a Gauntlet without wholly knowing what that entails, as Gauntlets use the Blinding difficulty as a base.
      • Despite the intention of this mechanic, players who have never completed Blinding themselves but obtained a gilded weapon from another player will be able to access the Gilded Gauntlet.
  • The Gilded Gashapon is now permanently available, starting with the following items:
    • Goliath Doll (Rare Pet)
    • Gale Doll (Rare Pet)
    • Gamble Doll (Rare Pet)
    • Luster Mite Doll (Rare Pet)
    • Snail Pulse (Rare Chair)
    • Gilded Pretzel (Rare Chair)
    • Goliath's Mallet & Shield* (Rare Lifeguard Weapon Skin)
    • Gale's Coin Launcher* (Rare Future Shock Weapon Skin)
    • Gamble's Striker Gun* (Rare Power Surge Weapon Skin)
    • Gamble's Fury* (Rare Unfathomable Fury Weapon Skin)
    • Dragon Edge* (Rare Firewall Weapon Skin)
    • Wall Cutter* (Rare Back Alley Invitation Weapon Skin)
    • Gold Coin Keychain (Rare Item)
    • Platinum Coin Keychain (Rare Item)
* Weapon skins from the Gilded Gashapon will not be rewarded when completing Blinding difficulty with them in the Gilded Spire.



Bug Fixes:
  • Fixed an issue where pausing in the Gilded Spire would result in objects being hidden.
  • Viewing an empty offer on a Trade Post now properly wraps the text.
  • Mode-specific overlays are now properly hidden after a round ends.
  • Intangible players are no longer able to be subdued.
  • Players are no longer granted increasing rewards while playing with custom settings.
  • Players are no longer able to bypass custom character limits after a round has ended.
  • Disabling decorations no longer causes the game to crash when a weapon with a keychain attached is spawned.
  • Pressing ESC while a menu or popup is already open in the Gilded Spire no longer opens up the in-game menu.


Balancing Adjustments:
  • Scythe's and Soul Crusher's dash now only heals on hit for the amount of damage taken during the dash, as opposed to granting a small amount of extra healing should the damage reset threshold not be met.
  • Graverobber now charges its dash quicker, but the dash inflicts less damage and lacks the damage reset mechanic Shiniko the Reaper's other weapons possess.
  • Shazia the Dream's grapple strength while carrying a flag has been reduced.
  • Hypnotic Chain's subduable application speed has been increased.
  • Orbital Support now provides significantly less healing for the user.
  • Intervention's attack damage has been slightly decreased.
  • Intervention's Spirit gain rate has been slightly decreased.
  • Unfathomable Fury's initial attack damage has been increased.
  • Unfathomable Fury's spirit gain rate has been increased.
  • Unfathomable Fury's overheat rate now decreases as it becomes overheated.
    • The initial overheat rate is now higher than the previous rate.
    • The final overheat rate is now lower than the previous rate.
  • The Trick or Treat Candy's healing rate has been lowered significantly.


Miscellaneous:
  • Holiday event names in item descriptions are now displayed in different colors.
  • The Emote Bubble emote now appears as an empty emote bubble.
  • An option has been added to cause allies to flicker when they are completely Hidden.
    • This option is enabled by default.
  • Voiceovers have been added for all other applicable characters, excluding Shiniko the Reaper and the Gilded Spire.
    • Shiniko the Reaper and the Gilded Spire's voiceovers will be added in the near future.
  • Announcers have been implemented.
    • The Basic Announcer is selected by default, but those who prefer a more "dynamic" voice may select any one of the playable characters (excluding "Fhuuu" the Angel) as an announcer.
    • For the sake of stability, Shiniko the Reaper is currently listed as an available announcer; however, selecting her will use the Basic Announcer until her voiceovers become available.
  • Small arrows now appear above allied Graverobber treasures.
  • KO streaks are now announced in the event feed for every 5 KO's achieved.
    • The loss of a KO streak is also announced in the event feed.
