Dear Protectors of the Light,
We loved seeing how excited you all were to start obliterating those pesky nightmares with the new Siege Catapult Unit in our last Content Update.
With that, for this Patch update we focused on Quality of Life improvements for the Siege Catapult so the experience continues to get better and better. We have added extra Visuals around the Unit to clearly depict the min and max projectile range, along with some updated animations to make it behave in a more realistic manner.
You will notice on the Custom Hardship screen, the UI has been updated and is now Dynamic. If you hover over any of the Hardship icons, the description of it will display underneath the bottom row of icons. We have left plenty of space there to add in extra Hardships in the future!
Along with the improvement changes, we have put effort into squashing as many bugs as possible for this Update. There are some known issues which we have listed and aim to address in the V0.5.0 Update.
As always please continue to report bugs to our Steam forums or in the bug reporting channel on our Discord, as we’re constantly monitoring those channels.
Check out the full patch notes below:
