I wish the Halls of Torment devs would cool it with the "do a very specific solo run with a single weapon" achievements.

A pained lol at the Technician achievements being almost random in which items count as contributing damage. Wasted 5m+ damage from thunder crown for nothing.

The archer in Death Must Die isn't even close to the most broken character. Kront can wipe out anything in one hit using his dash talent.

Oh man, I just found one of these too. Feel like I'm never gonna replace it. Annoying feeling like I want to swap it over to whatever character I'm playing.


And dang^ I need to make an effort to unlock some skill points on everyone else

Mountain maps

Welcome to the treacherous snowy mountains! I had to rework the enemy AI a bit for this one to get the landscapes I wanted but I think it was worth it. It may be my favorite map thus far with a good amount of challenge. I hope you enjoy.

There's 3 variations of this:
Normal Mountains map
Stormy Mountains mission map
Endless Mountains map for leaderboard

Run modifiers

You'll notice new rune structures on most of the maps. Completing the quest you will be offered a run modifier to choose for your next run. I won't spoil what these are but I'm hoping you'll be pleasantly surprised what's on offer... Let me know if you think of any fun additions to it!

Terror in the desert

After watching the new Dune movie in theaters I just knew what the desert maps needed. Can you guess what it is?

Misc

Some bug fixes, QOL features and balance adjustments as usual. Take a look at the full changelog for more details.

Full changelog:

General
New Mountains map (+9 achievements)
New Stormy Mountains mission map (+2 achievements)
New Endless Mountains map
New Power-up: Energy - Character base energy charge
New Rune structures appearing on maps
Desert maps have a new resident terror lurking about
Enemies will get scared of the bear
Removed older leaderboard entries before the difficulty modifier changes
Added a distinct colour for items classified as "Strong" and "Weak". Also made the green & red arrows a bit larger on the info panel
Leader power-up max level lowered from 25% to 20%
Speed power-up max level lowered from 25% to 20%
Indication arrows (on top of elites, rabbit, water) are drawn on top so they don't get lost
Ginseng effect changed from 5x to 2x but lasts longer (12.5s to 15s)
Initial Church Healing cost lowered
Church Cleanse and Weaken prices depend on the enemy activity on screen
Church has a new buy option: Divinity (fires straight away)
Bandit Camp and Library multiplier scales over time (better early on)
Obelisks and Blood Moon can appear a bit sooner
Weighted Dice reroll amounts are randomised
Endless maps difficulty not as hard early on
Player invincibility timer is shown
Run mode is automatically toggled off when there's not enough energy for it

I'm generally liking the trajectory of this one, hoping it goes the distance

*gestures annoyed at Scarlet Tower and Return to Abyss*

Also very much looking forward to Halls of Torment hitting full release

Speaking of full releases, Nordic Ashes comes out in 1.0 tomorrow - I don't think they've done anything to change the stuff that bugs me about it, but it has a fire soundtrack, charming graphics, and an assload of content at this point

Awesome!

I gave Death Must Die a shot but the rate at which you get talent points seems absurdly slow to me. Does it speed up?

DmD is pretty shameless about expecting you to do tens of runs per character for full completion, it seems. I guess you need to drop at least one formal health bar boss per run and winning an act is still 3 per 20 minutes.

I like it but a bit rough at times.

The switch from perks to talents in death must due is annoying but I can deal with it. The more annoying poo poo is how they split up all the stuff into casts, strikes, powers, and attacks and they all scale off different buffs/stats

adding a universal dash this late is kinda crazy, wasnt expecting that. excited to check out all the masteries when i get home later. i should probably have at least a couple dudes fully leveled automatically.

the hint for unlocking the new character is very obvious and i instantly knew what to do from reading it so that was nice. his gimmick is everything is random like missing but you choose the random bits at level ups instead of the whole constellation just being randomly generated at the start. more like making a build in VS itself. not super exciting but its ok i guess. kind of crappy at the very beginning because you have zero rerolls or bans without some levels in his perk tree.

the perk trees overall seem fine. they arent giga-powerful but there is some nice, noticeable stuff beyond % increases in most of them.

im so used to playing the game without dashing that i kind of forget it was there most of the time. it works i guess. feels like the game has been designed without it so its not really necessary but its there if you want it.

Another thing to note is the points you gain upon leveling up can't be used to increase the level of relics, nor can you freely use Ascension crystals. Ascension options show up as you level if you have Ascension crystals, but that might not be useful if you were trying to save them for an ability you didn't have yet. This also means you can freely use the points for stuff in the level, including purchasing new relics, or converting to gold in the shop.

Maybe he has blessings from the uhhh rupture god that increase dash area

I maxed out and got all the achievements for the mage, archer, and knight, gonna start on kront tonight

I have 2 full pages of uniques in my item box in Death Must Die and I have exactly one that is better than any random tier 2 mythic and I think it's only because it's also mythic, an axe for kront. Is this typical or do I just have poo poo luck? Or are most meant to be be bad/jokes? Like one is a dog paw that gives bonus damage to cats and another is a lamp that has a lazy genie so it has zero stats/bonuses and since the genie is lazy you don't even get a summon

There's a god blessing that grants you power area, that boosts it even way higher than what you saw in my clip. I have a chest piece that grants area though.

Even though Kront's dashing, it's a Power ability so dash area won't affect it. It's all general area, attack area, and power area.

yeah its pretty funny rolling into the shop with 70 skill points to turn into gold. i just realized a side effect of not being able to really control ascensions mean those boosters that scale off holding crystals are pretty bad on him.

Ninh. She gives you 2 passives that work really well for Kront: Mountainous Might - Attack area increase, Persistence - Power area increase. Attack area increase also scales with Kront's Warchief ability.

I stopped playing Kront as soon as I got to D-100, he's just too strong.

I did find a genie in the desert just once with 60 something difficulty. It had multiple choices so maybe you just need to have the ring equipped when you find it

edit: Well I just found it again with the ring equipped, fought it and nothing happened. Maybe I should've tried to have it join me for a duration.

Your missing three are:

Hats (starting weapon of Horse -- if you haven't unlocked them, kill 6000 "suspicious looking" enemies in the VS level)
Mini Horse (gets added to the level up item pool once Hats is at max level)
Silver Tongue (upgraded version of Sharp Tongue, the Imposter starter weapon -- evolves with Mini Imposter, just play as Imposter on the VS level where the Mini Imposter always spawns as a stage item)

Ok yeah this build is stupid haha

I thought I would need Kront for his attack modifier since it gives attack damage and area, but my warchief was already larger than the screen before the end of the run, so I should probably do Justice since I think her attack modifier gives the most attack damage per level?
