CONTENT UPDATE 8: “Power Up”

IMPROVEMENTS

Jump Abilities:
- Victoria gainsThunderstrike: While in mid-air, hold jump to target an area on the ground. Upon releasing jump, Victoria will surge to the targeted area, doing electric damage and staggering nearby enemies.
- Rico gainsDouble jump: While in mid-air, press the jump key/button again to execute a second mid-air jump, gaining extra height but maintaining momentum.
- Hawkins gainsSpirit Dash: While in mid-air, hold a direction and press jump to dash in that direction horizontally.
- Maggie gainsFeather Fall: While in mid-air, hold the jump button to magically slow your fall, drifting to the ground while floating in any direction.
Falling from a sufficient height now causes fall damage, which can be mitigated by using the new jump abilities.
Ability upgrade set III:
- Victoria gains the following upgrades to her abilities:
  - Vanguard III: Vanguard now stops as soon as it hits an enemy and knocks back all enemies around Victoria.
  - Sling Shield III: The shield now bounces to allies as well, granting a temporary magic barrier that absorbs incoming damage.
  - Lion’s Roar III: Lion’s roar loses its knockdown power but instead burns enemies with magical fire in a radius while active, and hits with Victoria’s enchanted mace also explode in fire.
- Hawkins gains the following upgrades to his abilities:
  - Spectral Detour III: Upon exiting Spectral Detour, the next non-spell attack Hawkins does gains added Ice damage and applies Frozen to the next target hit.
  - Phantom Shot III: Hawkins’s phantom arrows travel faster but lose their homing ability. Corruption damage is replaced with Electric damage.
  - Rift Arrow III: While the rift is active, any allies that pass into its radius have their non-spellbook weapons temporarily enchanted with Arcane.
- Maggie gains the following upgrades to her abilities:
  - Snap III: The cooldown of snap is decreased, as is distance traveled.
  - Familiar III: Familiar is permanently summoned, flying over Maggie’s shoulder. It attacks automatically but does reduced damage. Familiar can still be placed like a turret using the ability normally.
  - Barrier III: The barrier no longer provides defense against projectiles but instantly freezes a limited number of enemies that enter its threshold.
- Rico gains the following upgrades to his abilities:
  - Pocket Sand III: All enemies affected by Pocket Sand become damage linked, so all enemies linked take damage when one is hit.
  - Deadly Thrust III: After using Deadly Thrust, Rico’s next attack is charged up with pure arcane energy and launches an arc projectile.
  - Backslash III: Backslash’s cooldown time is doubled, but upon using it, Pocket Sand and Deadly Thrust’s cooldowns are instantly refreshed.
Maximum Ability Points at Rank 10 have been increased to 9 (Previously 6) to accommodate the new ability upgrades.
The Divine Healer & Spare the Dying perks have been merged into a single Divine Healer perk, which now provides both a reduction in revive timer and higher HP on successful revive.

KNOWN ISSUES

PERFORMANCE ISSUES

As multiplayer inMythForceis peer-to-peer, you may experience lag or “choppiness” depending on your connection to the host and the power of their computer.
On first launch, performance can be low on mechanical hard drives while building shaders in the background.

GAMEPLAY ISSUES

When selected as an infusion in Victoria’s infusion tree, Divine Healer only grants a reduction in revive time and does not properly grant additional healing on revive.
If the host player is disconnected from the internet when returning to the main menu, it is possible for the game to become stuck in an unresponsive state.
The game can crash on rare occasions when playing the game with out-of-date device drivers. Please ensure that your drivers are up-to-date to playMythForce.
The effects of Vitality Link do not properly award Max HP or party healing if rapidly drinking a potion while the effects of another potion are still being applied.
On occasion, rooms will open before all enemies have been defeated, allowing players to progress and leave enemies behind.
On occasion, enemies will recover from a staggered state sooner than expected.
Infrequently, Beastor’s animation at the beginning of the boss fight does not play for clients.
On rare occasions, it’s possible to get stuck in a knocked-down state after being hit by Beastor or being caught in the explosion of a spore pod.
It is possible to get temporarily stuck at “walk” speed after shield-bashing an enemy or breakable. Raising and lowering the Shield will fix this.
On rare occasions, after falling into a pit, the player may permanently lose the ability to rotate left and right.
Rift Arrow can sometimes cause colliding creatures and players to be launched into the air.
Jumping on top of certain creatures can cause players to be launched into the air.
It’s possible to exploit a “safe zone” at the entrance door to rooms, allowing you to shoot into a room without enemies’ being able to fight back.
There are some rare instances in which players can become stuck in world geometry and be unable to return to the playable area.
Clients will occasionally get kicked from the lobby while loading into the game.

UI & TEXT ISSUES

The floor-depth indicator can sometimes misreport the number of total rooms on a floor, causing it to appear as if the player has traversed more or fewer rooms in a floor than actually exist.
There is no confirmation dialogue on the Early Retreat menu, making it easy to select an undesired choice by mistake with no way to undo.
Ping indicators persist to the end of their normal timeout even if the pinged object is removed.
On rare occasions, the hotbar can appear empty after reviving. Picking up or dropping items repopulates the hotbar.

VISUAL ISSUES

Some door frames and walls where door frames could appear do not appear properly lit, looking darker than expected.
In certain rooms, it is possible for a group of spore pods to spawn in the same location hovering above a thorn vine pit.
There are rare instances of sections of grass mounds, rocks, and foliage from outside the playable area appearing visible within the playable area.
When viewing a higher area from below, it is possible to see enemy shadows on the ceiling above where they are standing.
Some breakables and treasure boxes intersect with the environment, making them hard to see.
Some environment geometry is larger than its collision, allowing smaller items to become hidden within environmental elements like stairs and raised flagstones.
Sporefolk clouds that appear on death are opaque, making it difficult to see through.
Some status effect particle systems can be difficult to see on Sporefolk.
On occasion, after level transition, the “time of day” may appear inconsistent between players.
Some seams are visible on ground textures, particularly in connecting corridors.
Some enemies can appear to “jitter” back and forth when approaching in combat.
There is no “key” to pick up when you defeat Beastor. You can just proceed to the final room and use the pedestal.

AUDIO ISSUES

Beastor’s combat music may briefly start up again for clients while progressing to the next room after Beastor has been defeated.
A number of cut additional voice line variant takes are playing in-game. Some voice lines when using special abilities, or receiving status effects like ignite, are now playing incorrectly.
