Knight Crawlers

UPDATE 1.2.0 PATCH NOTES

Features and Fixes

• Keyboard key rebinding is now available!
  
• Added the Crawler Callboard! This interface lets you see a few statistics about your crawlers and your leaderboard rankings. A lot of these values will be zero as they weren't tracked before the Callboard was added but will update as you play
  
• Added Leaderboards for deepest depths reached and hardcore deepest depths reached
  
• So far only the above leaderboards exist. I plan to add more in future updates
  
• You can view the full leaderboards through the Steam Community page and clicking on "View Stats." Alternatively, you can click here to view them
  
  
• You can now extract essence from Glyphs at your blacksmith
  
• Glyphs are now sorted at your blacksmith from highest to lowest rarity
  
• Glyph roll values have been adjusted so higher tier Glyphs do not roll lower values than lower tiers Glyphs
  
• Glyph maximum rolls have been buffed by up to 75% for Ethereal, Astral, Celestial, and Cosmic Glyphs
  
• Glyph drop rates have been lowered across the board due to the value changes.
  
• You were previously guaranteed a Cosmic Glyph when you were above depth 20. Rarity is now randomly rolled depending on depth, with higher tier Glyphs being available at deeper depths
  
• Depth breakpoints for Glyphs have been changed to the following:
  
• Temporal Glyphs : Depth 1

• Astral Glyphs : Depth 12

• Cosmic Glyphs : Depth 40
  
  
• Added new cards : Sanctity, Divinity, Purity . These cards heal you and increase your max health
  
• Maximum Health cards no longer heal you if you are at full health. Only the new hybrid cards heal and increase health

• Fixed a bug where you could get stuck on the big beer kegs in an overgrown room
  
• Fixed a bug that allowed players to rack up infinite domination runes. If your character has more than 5 dominion points allocated this update will reset your dominions and you will have to reallocate 5 points in your tree.

• Fixed a bug that caused crawlers to get stuck in walls or through the floor

UPDATE 1.1.0 PATCH NOTES

General Changes and Fixes

• Domination Runes now drop as intended! You can find up to five domination runes scattered throughout the Ancient Realms.
  
• Creating a new character now works as intended and all progress is properly reset. This will override your save file, but all your cosmetics will be carried over between saves. I intend to add more save slots in the future so you can have multiple characters.
  
• Game mode selection screen now appears as intended when creating a new character.
  
• Glyphs can now be extracted for essence. You can't sell them at the Blacksmith yet, but this mechanic will be implemented in v1.1.1.
  
• When going to a new room, all items left on the floor are automatically extracted. Don't be scared when you are chased by a thousand essences!
  
• The spawner has had a visual overhaul so as to not have it be confused with corpse explosions. The size of the spawner has also been increased.
  
• The shadow the spawner casts has had its opacity reduced so you can see the traps underneath it more clearly.
  
• Fixed a visual issue that made your crawler's arms shake uncontrollably as if he were real cold.
  
• Slightly rebalanced Earthquack to compensate for the insane damage output of the Spell Slingers out there. This only affects people who have specced into tiers 2 and above of the Spell Slinger tree.
  
• Corpse explosions should not be going off and floating in the air.
  
• The depth 100 chest now appears as it always should have.
  
• Base movement speed has been increased by 20% and base health has been increased from 300 to 400 to make the early game easier.
  
• Critical Strike Chance now updates and displays as intended in your UI.
  
• Defence scaling has been increased to feel more impactful.
  
• Shrine effects are now disabled if you travel to the Terror's Chamber.
  
• Fixed an issue with Crawler Duties regressing instead of progressing after defeating the First Terror.
  
• Attack speed slightly rebalanced for the end game as it was very easy to fire off 50 projectiles a second.
  
• Projectiles stored in memory during a crawl has now doubled, essentially doubling the projectiles per second you can shoot if heavily investing into attack speed.
  
• Projectiles properly update when picking up a different ranged weapon type instead of only updating after starting a new crawl.
  
• Fixed a visual bug that caused essences to spawn downwards instead of upwards.
  
• Fixed a bug that stopped Khorgos from attacking.
  
• Added a visual message when looting the Domination Runes and the Ancient Artifact.
  
• Fixed a collider that was awkwardly close to Earthquack that shouldn't have been there.
  

Dominions Rework

• Friendly Imp now gives you 3 minions instead of 1.
  
• Minion damage and attack speed has been significantly buffed.
  
• Scent of Blood - Now triggers at 35% health instead of 25%
  

• Dash's distance has been increased to make dodging enemy attacks easier
  
• Intuition - Now deals more damage when landing on enemies.
  
• Impact - Dashing now fires 35 projectiles instead of 15.
  

• Malediction - Damage has been increased from 50% weapon damage to 125%.
  
• Terrify - Significantly increased the size of the aura's area of effect.
  
• Intensify - Now also increases your Occultist aura damage from 125% weapon damage to 175% while also increasing your crawler damage by 25%
  

• Reworked off-hand ranged weapons that can be used with Unstoppable
  
• Once Unstoppable is allocated, off-hand ranged weapons will start dropping
  
• These weapons have very high local damage and attack speed. This is because off-hand weapons are not affected by your main damage, only by ranged damage and weapon type damage.
  
• Off-hand ranged weapons cannot be worn on the main hand and vice-versa
  

• The Void - Reworked how the void works. You now get 1 extra damage per enemy killed, but have a 5% chance of increasing the damage you take by 1.
  
• New particle effects have been added for The Void. The higher the amount of extra damage you deal and take, the more intense the effect gets.
  
• Brawler - Added visual effects for Anger Management and Ravager.
  

• Earthquack now drops a Domination Rune as intended. She now also drops a lot of juicy loot and cosmetics, making farming her a lot more worthwhile. Her damage has also slightly been rebalanced.
  
• Earthquack's Crawler Duty now properly updates to the next step after being defeated.
  
• Earthquack's immunity to active skills is now properly displayed on her health bar.
  
• Attack speed now affects melee attack speed as well. Thank you to the kind soul who suggested this on Discord!
  
• Base melee attack speed has been increased by 20% to make melee attacks feel better in the early game.
  
• Fixed a bug where your character visuals were not loading properly, leading you to be headless and naked.
  
• General Items (glyphs, cosmetics, domination runes, and artifacts) no longer get looted if you are not actively looking at their tooltip.
  
• Visual effects have now been added for the Dominion passives from the Brawler tree.
  
• Dropped items should stack less frequently making it easier to go through them.
  
• Fixed a bug where if you received health while Celestially Blessed the health bar UI would not visually update as intended.
  
• Fixed a bug where if you died while inspecting a General Item the tooltip would haunt you in your Sanctuary until you found another General Item in a subsequent crawl.
  

UPDATE 1.0.3 PATCH NOTES

• Added attack indicators to enemies. Enemies now telegraph their attacks and give players time to either dodge or jump out of the way.
  
• Fixed a bug where Dominion minions were not respawning if they were too far from your crawler
  
• Slightly rebalanced enemies and reduced their movement speed to make them easier to handle in the early depths
  
• Fixed an issue where shields could not be equipped
  
• Fixed a glitch that duplicated item stat rolls to items you were currently wearing. Dropped items do not affect the rolls on worn items anymore.
  
• Enemies no longer deal random damage to you and you only take damage when you are hit by a weapon swing, projectile, or if an enemy headbutts you.
  
• Arcane shrines are no longer activated if you are equipped dropped items close to shrines
  
• The spawning circle does not activate if you are extracting items within the spawning area
  
• Wagering Shrine sound effects fixed to better represent whether you received an item or nothing dropped
  
• Wagering Shrine drop rates have been rebalanced to be more rewarding
  
• Arcane Shrine spawn chance has been slightly increased
  
• Glyphs, domination runes, cosmetics, and artifacts are no longer picked up if you are not actively looking at their tooltip
  
• Temporarily removed the lava room as it was causing too many issues with Khorgos and it could potentially brick a crawl if the enemy you were attacking would jump in the lava.
