If you played Wraithbinder's 2nd beta any time between 10pm PST Jan 5 and 8pm PST Jan 6 you may have encountered a bug where you would start a new run but all the ability items were missing. This would happen if you died without ever using a checkpoint. If you never died or you used a checkpoint and then died, your subsequent run was fine.

The bug is fixed and the game has been patched. The expected behavior from now on is thus:

1. If you die without using a checkpoint: the game takes a portion of your gold, you lose all abilities but you keep all weapons and armor. You are taken back to the Ship and your next run will start with a brand new world with a new set of abilities to find.

2. If you die with having used a checkpoint: the game takes a portion of your gold but you keep all weapons and armor. You are taken back to the Ship but then can use a portal object to go back to the same world with the same abilities at the beginning of the floor where you used the checkpoint. You also can recover the gold and light you lost from dying. You don't have to use the checkpoint though. You can start a brand new run as well. Use the portal object and you will be able to choose between using the checkpoint and starting over.

Thanks for taking a sec to grok this,
