Early Access 0.9.3 is the 54th patch to be released for Temtem since its Early Access release.
Important Notice
This patch is focused on addressing balance changes long requested by the community, as well as implementing a new system for stages. This patch will likely be the last patch of CU1, and we’re now fully focusing on 1.0 launch.
Improvements
- We’ve extended the Trait filter to cover eggs in the Trade House as well.
Balance
- This patch introduces the new 8-stage system.
- Currently, there is a maximum of 5 stages that can give you up to +250% or -71% in a certain stat except for SPD. Each +1 increases each stat by 50%, and decreases it by a variable number (read more here to know the specifics). The maximum of 250%, when reached, can be very oppressive and too much of an advantage. Since each level up was done in steps of 50%, it was difficult to balance and tweak accurately and precisely, and we believed a middle point might be the key. Because of this, and after reading several community suggestions talking about a similar solution, we thought that an 8-stage system, one of the many possible reworks for the stages, would open the chance to a better balancing. We consulted our community on some specifics, and the resulting change affects all Techniques, Traits and Gears that increase or decrease stages in the game.
- This means Stages can now reach +8 and -8 instead of +5 and -5. A +8 situation will mean an increase of 200%, and a -8 situation will be a 66% decrease, as opposed to the previous maximum 250% increase and 71% decrease.
- All stats now follow the same pattern the Speed value, that was originally the odd one out, was following. This means SPD now shares the same formula, and can be increased up to 200%. All stats work in the same way now.
- Techniques up until now could only increase or decrease two stages of a specific stat. With this change, Techniques can now increase or decrease up to 4 stages of a specific stat.
- Like with the Stamina change in the past, we’ve listed all the specific changes to each Technique, Trait and Gear here, so all of you who are interested can check them out without turning these patch notes into a bible.
- With a change this big, we’ve also tweaked and revisited a handful of other Traits, Gears and Techniques that were scarcely used and that could use some improvements.
