Beta update 1.2.05b
This is a big one, and includes a lot of new content to test before our next major update!
For this Beta we've replaced the previous set of Beta items with the latest ones, so players have more access to the newest content in the game. This will help us identify bugs and give you all a chance to try them more frequently.
One of the big reworks coming is turning Light Damage into Petrify, and this update includes that change in its work-in-progress form. Petrify is similar to damage, except it reduces max health instead of current health. This will be more significant as more content is added, but helps us distinguish the status effect from being true damage (like Soul Damage).
We've also reworked Double Candle and Dark Stone to be more unique, and Double Candle now lets you choose a common starting item!
Another big addition for testing is Player Statistics page, located in Collection. Some of these statistics have been tracked previously and others are new.
More details will come with the full release of this content, for now it's ready in the PC Beta and we hope you enjoy!
