Feb 05 2015 - Patch Notes

• Added controller sensitivity options
  

• Altered Magic Boomerang's spell behavior:
  
  
  • On Spell: If the spell hits an enemy, a mana boomerang is launched towards the player. Catching it restores some of the cost of the spell.
    
    Design Context: Magic Boomerang? More like Magic BoomeRANGE. In a lot of situations, the interesting decisions involved in high-grade Magic Boomerang spells included "can I click on my target" and "how high can I set my monitor resolution". They bypassed a lot of important pacing systems (namely spell range) which resulted in them being "fun because powerful" and not "fun because interesting". We're not hating on spell-snipers here, though! We love Quicksilver Gear and Rock and if you want to hit from miles away you've still got options.
    
    This change was also to help out some underappreciated materials such as Philosopher Stone and Soul Contract. By giving a skill-based avenue to mitigating these costs, we hope to have opened up some exciting paths of spellcrafting.
  
  
  
• Rift Crystal robes are now capped at 50% dodge chance.

• Fixed a rare situation where no leaf piles would spawn in the mission whose objective is to remove all leaf piles
  
• Level portals no longer get embedded in the environment
  
• Fixed an bug that caused erratic behavior in the tutorial during New Game+
  
• Ninja Sword trail particles no longer persist longer than intended
  
• Secondary effects on spells are no longer editable on graphics settings that don't display them in the first place
