Small patch for PvE, as we're still working hard on grinding out FDN HC. Roey's been busy too and has made a bunch of PvP changes that Salad forced him to do.

Upcoming Changes

Just a quick update on what's being worked on, since these are the reason why patches have been kinda small and spread out lately (we wish we could release banger patch after banger patch but these things take a lot of time and effort, on top of the constant bug fixing and making changes based on feedback).

PvE

• Forest Dragon Hardcore. Please note that this is not Forest Dragon (Hard) from official, consider it more of a Vahrcore-lite
• Autumn events (RDNVC Returns!)
• Randgrid rework
• Avalanche rework
• Valkyrie rework
• NEW Machina Spinoff class (Healer)
• An undisclosed challenge raid designed by Chris (side content)
• Solace of Oblivion Season 4 (including saving/resuming of runs, event portals, and more!)
• Ranked BTG (low priority)
• New talisman system (this requires a lot more design so we're not sure when this will come)
• Treasure Nest / Brynhildr 8-man
• New Berserk Nest/rework
• Rune Dragon Vahrcore

PvP

• New PvP maps
• Existing PvP map beautification
• Whatever else Roy cooks up in his dungeon

Social/Cosmetic

• Guild revamp
• Farms and Hot Springs
• Undisclosed custom weapon gacha
• New gestures...?

Technical

• DirectX12-based renderer (lots of big code refactoring going on in the background to make this possible)
• PDN Premium (mostly subscription management needs to be ironed out + actually implementing several of the premium-only features)
• Tutorial/progression in-game guidance (quests, etc)

Note that this list is not exhaustive and subject to change (we can't tease everything we're cooking...)
If you have any questions or have feedback, feel free to post in the Discord!

PvE Content

• Added Forest Dragon Nest Practice Mode (No drops or achievements, 50% HP and damage scaling)
• Resetting (F1) in BTG and BTGEQ now additionally removes/kills all projectiles and summons (this includes fields like Consecration, Glacial Devastation, etc)

Treasure Nest

More adjustments because poopy ED stuff

• Bonus buff in TN/BN changed from 50% AS/MS/CDR and CD reset to 15% AS/MS/CDR, CD reset, 15% ATK, and guaranteed crit
• The buff machines in stage 1 Treasure Nest should now buff more reliably
• Adjusted Treasure Nest 3rd boss 50% mech penalty so you can't just cheese past it
• Attempt to fix Treasure Nest Jackal's hitbox pinning players against the ground
• Treasure Nest Jackal's tracing blue orbs replaced by fixed patterns (until we can make them not break)
• Treasure Nest Jackal's dashing lines mech HP thresholds and usability windows adjusted
• Treasure Nest Jackal Boss grants the bonus buff after the dark room mechanic if at least one player survives
• FPS improved in TN Jackal boss fight

[PvE] Class Balancing

/\c43\Saint

The first two are technically bugfixes but they also change Saint's DPSing

Fixed an issue that caused Saint's [Awakened Holy Burst] to transfer damage (this does not fix the issue where casting HB + RR too close together causes the first one cast to lose hits/damage)
Fixed Saint's Relic Reaction causing Awakened Holy Burst to lose hits
Delay before Saint's Awakened Lightning Relic spawns its children relics significantly reduced (now its about half a second, instead of anywhere from 1-2s)

/\c96\Impactor

[Intense Pulse] consecutive casts no longer slightly moves you forward/sideways
