Courtney's notes: As always, thank you for posting your thoughts and sending bug reports. Basically 100% of this hotfix is directly from player feedback. There's still more to do, but we wanted to get an updated build out there asap. Enjoy!
Stability
- Bulletproofed against the Overlord Mission Type rewrite sometimes causing loss of profile progress if it failed to match the specific map index.
- Addressed an instability when opening Ascension dialog while there is an Aptitude upgrade or unlock queued up to display in the Reality Stream.
Balance
- Substantially increased the Ascension Point gains from banked Reality Points as well as from a full Reality Stream.
- Rebalanced the Reality Stream to make Talent levels more consistent and to fix Tier levels not reaching exactly 100 with a full set of Talents.
- Substantially reduced the cost scaling curve for standard Ascension. (dev note: the multiplier will also be reset when loading a v1.1 profile)
- Reduced the unlock thresholds for Reality Stream subtalents and tier unlocks to compensate for the revised Talent maximum values.
- Massively buffed the damage output of Ultimate rarity Drone and Armor item procs.
- Reduced the damage output of the Ultimate Superlaser special proc.
- Gave Ultimate Superlaser item proc a small initial and recurring cooldown.
- Increased health, shields, and damage output of random boss mission version of Raider Factory.
- Added enemy spawns to Raider Factory boss random mission.
Polish
- Expanded the description for the Prime Uniques talent to include all of its bonuses.
