[Note regarding the damage changes to all characters]
We have revamped the way damage works in the game, enabling us better control over the balance of enemies and characters. While it may seem like a drastic nerf, do be aware that we are also significantly decreasing all enemy HP to compensate. The goal is to balance out the power spikes while keeping the feeling of your progress intact. When we update with 2.0, the goal is to make it feel like nothing has changed that much except your damage numbers will visually be lower.

[Note regarding Material Cap limit decrease]
Materials make up a large portion of a user’s data size. Due to potential scalability issues in the future, the amount of materials a user can hold at any one time is decreased. While there are no issues regarding the pre-nerfed material cap at the moment, it can become troublesome as we add more features, contributing to more user save data bloat. This can lead to situations where the user’s data can get too large, introducing higher network traffic for the user, slower load times, and even data loss. We will be monitoring the situation after this material cap decrease, and the cap may be lowered even further to accommodate future updates.

[Note regarding the Primal Nerf]
Primal is one of those gems where it is vital in a lot of people’s kits. Some classes are considered “useless” in the damage meta unless they have Primal. Primal was and will always be the experimental gem for players who seeks a challenge, and not a gem meant to be the end-all-be-all gem for serious end-game builds. In an effort to decentralize Primal in builds, we will be making efforts to minimize its use in normal builds while buffing any characters that once relied on Primal to deal damage.

Until his skill rework comes by, this will be the adjustment for now)

V.1.0.1 (January 7th, 2021)
Regarding High Vigils and Heart of Atlas difficulty spike
This update focuses on major rebalancing and is one of many changes coming. We have seen the mountain of feedback regarding the lack of direction and unforgiving progression. Thank you to all players who have provided this valuable feedback. This was a lesson well learned and we hope this patch can fix some discrepancy and difficulty spikes caused by these maps.
We will be making the following additions and changes to remedy the difficult contrast between High Vigils and Heart of Atlas.
-
Note: Users who have completed Heart of Atlas must now complete both new missions before they can start revisiting Atlas. Users who have or could not complete High Vigils: Mysterious Distress Signal will have a much easier revamped progression and difficulty curve. They are required to complete High Vigils (much more beginner-friendly) and City Roads once more before they can unlock the new missions. Getting Hero mode gear is now no longer required to beat Heart of Atlas.
-
All players who played previously will have their stats and skills soft resetted. This means that all skill points and EXP are refunded to you (as if you used a character reset scroll). Don’t worry, nothing was lost, you are just required to raise them again in your tab menu as this a major balance change.
New Content
- Mission Added: City Crossroads: The Neverending Path
- Mission Added: Atlas Entrance: The Colossus
- 2+ new mobs
- 1+ new boss
-
Skill system minor rework (no longer has a dependency on left click inputs) Deferred to 1.0.2
Balance Adjustments
- Hero Mode will no longer be individually unlockable. Hero levelled maps will unlock only after clearing Heart of Atlas
- Hero mode maps will no longer have increased levels. They are now at the same level as Heart of Atlas
- City Roads normal boss damage slightly reduced
- City Roads normal boss HP slightly reduced
- City Roads mob waves halved
- Golem boss has significantly reduced HP, damage, and attack speed
- Boss HP is now scaled less linearly when there are more players (more players = less HP gained for the boss)
- Driller facility gem generation time halved on all levels
- Mainframe max level increased to 75 facilities from 40
- Gold facility max level gold generation increased to 2,000 per hour
- Leveling stats now diminishes a lot less harshly
In an effort to reduce gem powerscaling and to leave it as a min/max tool, we will be making the following adjustments to these gems:
- ATK Increase Gem increased from 2/3/5/7/9/12% to 5/6/12/18/24/30%
- DEF Increase Gem decreased from 10/11/12/13/14/15% to 7/8/9/10/11/12%
- Gold Increase Gem increased from 2/4/6/10/15/25% to 15/20/25/30/35/40%

- Muscular Power Gem decreased from 4/5/7/9/11/14% to 1/1.25/1.5/1.75/2/2.5% (we realized Muscular Power is outshining every source of other damaging gems, making it too viable as a pick. It will also not lend well to future content expansions as trophies will get increasingly more and more HP, making it difficult to balance. Rank 1 Muscular Power was dealing well over even Octagon rarity Attack Increase gem.)
Bug Fixes
- Heart of Atlas triggers cannot be jumped over. Some triggers are also wider
- Music will no longer cut out on certain bosses
- Vestiges of Reform now fixed
- Gems rewarded from Gem Scavenger can now be reforged

- Stats now has descriptions on what they do
- Materials have a higher chance to drop
