FFW Early Access - PATCH 0.1.1.3

Howdy y'all!

You may be wondering why we have swapped from v6xx to v0.1.1.1

We recently decided to change the version number to better reflect the... well, version of the game. Instead of having a single number that increased, we now break down the updated version into these categories;

With the first 0. representing Early Access (Spoiler: will turn to 1 in 1.0 launch)

And without further ado, onto the patch notes!

Enemies

Most feedback that we received regarding the higher difficulties were that is was too simple and not challenging enough, with some people managing to win games without picking up any joker during their mission. These changes aim to make the Nightmare difficulty more challenging, hence giving an incentive to complete side objectives and collect jokers throughout the game. This is obviously just a small portion of what we want to do to increase the challenge of higher difficulties!

New Elite enemies!

They are bigger, stronger, bolder!

Elite Prowlers

Run faster, spam attacks, lot of HP. Real stalkers.

Elite Liches

spawn 3 shockwaves instead of 1 and summon semi-homing projectiles. Also lot of HP!

Elite Slingers

Rapid fire, lot of HP and teleports when attacking.

Elite Bombers

Rapid fire, can create a barrage. Lot of HP!

• Elite enemies have 75% chance of spawning if you trigger a storm (not including boss storms)

BATTLECRIES & GRUNTS

• Battlecries are tied to a hat that you can equip in the skin shop!

• Press B to throw your hat and YEEHAW!

• Nuovo

  Added in-game grunts/gurgles/barks to characters for different actions and pings, based on your equipped hat

BALANCE

Balancing a weapon, joker, spell or whatever doesn’t mean we’ll never touch it again, don’t worry! It means that we’re trying to find a fix to make it better or more balanced with limited time. We know that sometimes, things need a rework and not simply a stat change, but a rework takes way more time than simply changing numbers around.

🔼 Quad Cylinder

• Buffed hipfire and ADS accuracy by 20%

Inspect animation is shorter and no longer occupies the full screen

🔁 Bow

Bow gameplay relies on explosions that previously did not give any XP, making the bow confusing and tedious to level up. This change drastically improves the consistency of XP obtained, which means the XP multiplier being way higher for the bow than other weapons is no longer necessary.

• Explosions now give XP based on their damage and the number of enemies hit!

• Bow XP multiplier was lowered to match the multiplier of other secondary weapons

🔼 Rush Blast

• The first bullet in your magazine has 100% accuracy and shoots further away > The first 3 bullets in your magazine have 100% accuracy and shoot further away

• The shotgun now displays a dot crosshair when Rush Blast is active

🔼 Eagle Lever

• Consecutive shots without missing grant +5% damage, stacking up to +50% > Consecutive shots without missing grant +10% damage, stacking up to +50%

🔼 Aiming Burst

• While aiming, your shots have perfect accuracy > While aiming, your shots have perfect accuracy, and you are not slowed down

🔼 Homing Burst

• Every 20 bullets fired, shoot 5 homing bullets at nearby enemies > The first and last shot of your magazine fires 5 homing bullets at nearby enemies (projectiles now prioritize multiple targets but can still focus on one)

🔼 Machine Gun

• Now increases Bend Speed for the Bow (instead of Firerate that did nothing)

🔼 Elec Portal

• Every player now has it’s own set of 2 portals, meaning you can have up to 8 portals in a game

New combos working with Voodoo!

Corruption + Drain

ENEMIES

These changes have the same purpose as the new elite ennemies, making the game more challenging in higher difficulties.

🔼 Cryptic Kamikaze

• Now instantly start attacking after finishing their spawn animation (used to be a 0.5 sec. delay)

• Now jump on the player in Nightmare

🔼 Cryptic Slinger

• The projectile no longer applies gravity on Very Hard+

• Projectiles are faster on Very Hard+

🔼 Cryptic Prowler

• Now invisible from Hard+ instead of Very Hard+

• Now teleport when hit in Very Hard+

• Now remain always invisible in Nightmare

🔼 Cryptic Lich

• Now shoot a wider and faster shockwave

• Now shoot an homing projectile in Nightmare

🔼 Gas Bomb

Items required for each stage have been reduced

BUGFIXES

Very minor bugfixes and tweaks are not listed

Fixed +50 bugs, including

QUALITY OF LIFE

• Modificato

  Reduced camera tilt when moving right/left

• Modificato

  The Wandering Trader should no longer offer the same Joker at the same time when trading with her

• Modificato

  Joker Rampage, Joker Soul Eater, Joker Hit Me now display their remaining duration

MISC

• Spanish (Latin America) and Turkish are now available

• Reverted Titles for “Reach Level 100 in X element” back to their previous name, added the ones from Update 1 as a separate reward obtainable by doing the “Reach Level 75 in X element” challenge

• Simplified Difficulty descriptions on Mission selection

• Rearranged Bestiary categories

• Friendly fire is now limited to 25HP per hit max, to avoid your evil sniper friend to one shot you

  • This will also greatly reduce griefers who used to abuse friendly fire by joining sessions, one-shotting everyone, and leaving.
