Patch Notes 1.9.4b

FEATURES & CONTENT Integrated missing Russian localization for the 1.9.4 update

KNOWN ISSUES Fixed an issue that can cause an error code 100 on the splash screen while attempting to load the save data if a player hadn’t played for a long period of time (multiple months)

Patch Notes 1.9.4

FEATURES & CONTENT • Feature - Emblem System: The Emblem System has been developed as a way to evaluate your performance in a trial (affect your overall online rank) and to replace the previous victory conditions of the match. There are 4 different categories in which your performance is evaluated for both, Survivor and Killer.

BALANCE • Changed values and adding curves for the following Scoring Events: Chase Escape, Chase Per Second, Coop Objective
• Reworked the bonus Bloodpoints granted by several Bloodpoints Bonus Offerings:

• All basic Sachets & Wreath offerings : raised from 25 to 50%
  
• All Fresh Sachets & Devout Wreath offerings : raised from 50 to 75%
  
• All Fragrant Sachets & Ardent Wreath offerings : raised from 75 to 100%
  
• Bound envelope offering: raised from 15 to 25%

BUG FIXES • Fixed a few instances of the game crashing when continu... Read more

EMBLEM SYSTEM DETAILS
Emblems are a new system to evaluate your performance during a match and gives you pips. Killers and Survivors each have 4 Emblems they can obtain during a match by performing specific actions and adopting specific behaviors. Each Emblem come in 4 qualities, and the total amount of Emblems as well as their quality determines the amount of pips the player is going to win/lose.

We are implementing this System for several reasons:
1. Separate the ranking from the Bloodpoints won : Bloodpoints is a currency dedicated to progression, and using it in order to rank players was becoming an issue. We want to be able to impact the amount of points you win without impacting your rank.
2. Have clear actionable systems to encourage interesting play : unlike the Bloodpoints, Emblems cannot be farmed. This gives us more control to assess player behaviors and reward good play, as well as encourage interactions between Survivors.

SURVIVORS

• LIGHTBRINGER now includes Hex cleansing and exit gates opening. A passive amount of points will also be granted to all Survivors alive each time a gen is completed.
