Using the initial darkmeyer blog and the rates we quoted is kind of meaningless now since we buffed the xp-rates in a hotfix on Friday and it had a greater effect on floor 5 than we intended.

Currently I do believe floor 5 is overtuned and I'd like to address that after fixing the more pressing feedback we have received since launch

Well I can tell you at least that it wasn't on purpose so no it isn't intuitive at all or an intended mechanic. I believe I know why it's happening and why we never saw it in testing so I'll try fix it for the next game update!

You can only loot 1 coffin per floor until floor 5. This was a safety precaution we put in early in development when the design stated only one treasure encounter per floor.

When we made the hotfix on Friday to enable all of the treasure encounters we forgot about this safety precaution and unfortunately since it's tied to the model of the coffin directly we can't fix it until this Thursday.

Until then you at least now have the option of which one you want to do on earlier floors i.e. do you want to do the prayer one on floor 4 or the magic one etc.

Awesome to hear! Glad you're now enjoying it, I agree the tilt is real while learning but once you get it it's super fun

Times for floor 5 were actually better than obtainable, sorry for the inconvenience!

Thanks!

Been seeing a lot of negativity but I know the learning curve is putting people off, glad people are finding it fun!

First focus is fixing the playability issues such as the randomness of the treasure encounters not being as interesting as we thought, teleports feeling far too annoying and bolts being too small/hard to see. As you can see by the hotfixes we've just put out!

Some of these will come next week with very very minor tweaks to some specific traps. Only after we're happy with the difficulty of the content will we look to review the xp/hr of the activity

Haha you're welcome!

Yeah higher % on later floors.

I think the shadow helps personally but we'll consider it

We plan to slightly reduce the hit box of those arrows next week but we'd like some more time playing around with it to see how it feels so we didn't push it out for a hotfix now.

Also we want to see how it looks/feels with the new models too

Yes

Yeah it was released intentionally like that with the assumption players would get significantly better rates than us.

Although I'd like to fix the actual playability issues first such as bolt hit boxes, bolt sizes and teleportation pads being too annoying before looking at the difficulty vs reward ratio.

I appreciate the feedback though!

Ooooh interesting. Yes that would make sense given that it's likely the same issue as the fire traps. I'll investigate that

I'd firstly like to say thanks for the feedback! Getting more opinions is always a good thing and this is why I wish we could've had a player visit to get more feedback early on. I'll do my best to answer each question!

Traps

Arrow Trap

I was aware of the issue with running behind the arrows and I figured that players would get used to it however I have noticed it being notably bad on the Tier 3 arrows (blue ones) moreso than I remember them being while playtesting. I plan to reduce the range at which they can detect you by removing 1 tile from the back of them for all tiers of arrow so hopefully this helps.

Portal Trap

I'm afraid I don't quite understand the feedback here, they do work and if you want to take them you have to try to step on them. One thing I have been considering is increasing the "immunity" you get after teleporting from 2 cycles to 1 cycle but I'd have to try that first to see if it feels...

The purpose of this content was to offer a much more engaging and interactive way to train agility where if you put in more effort you'd get more XP and almost more importantly it's supposed to be a much more enjoyable and fun way to train it. I've had so much feedback internally that it's really fun content to do which is promising!

We mentioned on the livestream that we will be monitoring the XP-rates post-release especially because we're tracking data about completion times etc. so we can make any adjustements once you guys have had a chance to do the content.

The collection log was never made with the intention of completing it, it was made more to just show a record of what you had achieved, infact I believe that's why a variable for the total amount of slots filled was never setup when it was created.

It's certainly possible to have a toggle to remove those items but I'm not entirely sure how much dev work that would be and how much value that would add to the game. I hope that at least answers your question!

So currently we don't store the data for how many slots the player has filled in the collection log on a single variable, if we did then it would be very easy for us to do.

Each item has it's own variable on the player for how many the player has obtained, when a tab is loaded it checks against a list of items we know are part of that tab and counts how many the player has has. For simplicity sake let's take the Chaos Druids tab as it's very small only having 3 pieces.

It will do the following:

counter for total items in this log is 3, so we know it's X/3

counter for total items the player has is 0

Get the first item (robe top) if the amount is >0 increment total items counter by 1 so it's 1/3

Repeat for robe bottom and hood.

Now you could ask why we don't just count all the individual variables everytime you open the log but the sheer number of them (1300-1400 ish iirc) would be quite an expensive piece of code to run every t...

I don't see a problem with providing a "yes, and don't ask me again" option, I can add it to the back-log but I personally won't have time to do it soon.

In the meantime, there is a right-click option to quick-enter the crypt if that is any help to you

No to boosting agility levels.

If you fail to get a unique item from the coffins you will roll on a drop-table of fairly mediocre loot so you will get some money as long as you have the space for it

I can't fix the typo, I'll let Acorn know though.

As for 2, yes it currently works for all un-passable doors aswell as the puzzle. We actually make it only use 1 charge for a double set of doors because otherwise you could get stuck inbetween them!

Floor 1 - 52 agility, Floor 2 - 62 agility, Floor 3 - 72 agility, Floor 4 - 82 agility, Floor 5 - 92 agility
