29 June 2017 Patch

Build #20222

Darkest Dungeon

• Increased max available Quests by 1: more choices!
• First pass on tuning curio interaction delays, bark times, and other stuff to help speed up delays.
• Shrieker steal event will now only happen after week 40 and will only happen once per campaign.
• Jester’s Finale Skill Redesign (and Related)

• Finale was too effective at one-shotting mobs without any real downside or lasting cost. Skill has been redesigned to preserve the intent as a powerful big mob finisher, which takes time and setup to achieve maximum power.
• Finale

• Battle limit of 1
• Finale cannot crit
• Finale accuracy increased greatly
• Dramatically reduced base damage.
• Finale leaves a 12 round DEF debuff, to represent exhaustion.
• Other jester moves (“Dirk Stab”, “Inspiring Tune”, “Battle Ballad”) give a 7 round +20% stackable damage buff to Finale.

• Solo

• Accuracy increased
• Battle Limit 2
• Gives a 7 round +50% stackable damage buff to Finale.

• NOTE: we want Finale to still feel awesome and vital, but it was wrecking the balance. We’ll be monitoring feedback on this redesign and will tune more if necessary to ensure it’s a valuable skill...but not toooooo valuable.

• Puppet Theatre cost increased and damage bonus decreased
• Reducing new Buff/Debuff Narration VO to be much more rare.
• Fixed Monster attacks that could give incompatible quirks and crash the game.
• Fixed Quirks being able to evolve while you are treating them.
• Sped up several Cove Monsters Animations slightly (Now more they look more menacing!)
• Fixed Equipping Trinkets out of the loot window.
• Updated Man-at-Arms, Highwayman, and Vestals combat idle animations
• Compressed some Tool-tip Strings (MaA Retribution)
• Fixed from self heal skills not being able to trigger narration.
• Standardized crit chances of heals.
• Tooltip Formatting and UI fixes
• Various string fixes

• Bloodcult
• The Flesh is willing - Will now proc if you get your first Flagellant via Town Event and not Stagecoach

• Viscount and Crocodilian can no longer critically heal (See, we do nice things sometimes)
• Fix to hero initiatives being lost when Viscount feeds.
• Fixed quirks/affliction curio interaction with the key chests. (Reynauld can no longer steal your CC quest keys, lol)
