Hey scouts!
Apologies for the bugged amulet spawn location yesterday... This patch should prevent that from happening again! We also nerfed the frogs yet again, hopefully the last one?
BALANCE CHANGES
Reduced number of Clown Luggages needed to complete the Jester Achievement from 3 -> 2. May rework this achievement entirely later.
In the last patch we introduced a nerf to ropes by making it cost stamina to start grabbing them based on your distance from the rope. Since exploiting that lack of stamina cost is mostly a speedrunner technique and otherwise doesn’t affect gameplay much, we’ve reverted this change. Go nuts!
MORE FROG NERFS (fine you guys win)
Max Tongue Distance 22m->18m
Max Tongue Angle 16°->14°
Cooldown 10s->12s
Pandora’s Lunchbox can now add some Curse to you sometimes. Use at your own risk…
Pandora’s Lunchbox will ignore Invincibility when adding statuses to you. It was just a bit too good, sorry!!
Cooking the Book of Bones will no longer provide any benefit.
FIXES
Improved map generation to prevent Amulet statues spawning inside of rocks and making the Amulet unobtainable.
Basic scout hats and berets should now be properly textured to match new costumes.
The Scout’s Generosity amulet can no longer clone Scout Effigy. As a note, the Checkpoint Flag and other Amulets are also not cloneable.
Color Blindness Mode will now make the Arrow Shooter “laser“ more visible for those with red-green color blindness.
Anti-gravity spheres shot from the Antizooka now only last one minute to prevent soft-locks by placing one atop an unlit campfire.
Fixed the sprite that appears when unlocking the sash after completing Ascent 8.
Fixed a localization issue where Traditional Chinese text would display in Simplified Chinese.
Fixed the Bing Bong Airlines logo appearing backwards on the helicopter :)
Thickened the colliders on wrought-iron fences to reduce the likelihood of the player ragdoll getting stuck in them.
Fixed another scenario where the checkpoint flag could leave scouts in a broken state on another player’s screen.
Looker rocks should once again match the biome they’re in
Fixed an issue where cloning the jetpack with Scout’s Generosity created a jetpack with maximum fuel.
Glider fixes:
The Glider no longer gives forward momentum when ragdolled, such as when using the Play Dead emote.
Fixed the Glider’s networking so the positions of players using it are synced properly.
The glider now rotates forward in your hands when out of stamina as a visual indicator of its power being disabled.
The Glider now protects you from the sun’s heat in MESA.
Big Ghosts will now avoid spawning directly underneath players better.
Fixed an issue where Big Ghosts could sometimes spawn slightly too high underground, giving you less time to react to them after they spawned.
Okay! That's all for now. We're still keeping an eye out so let us know if anything else breaks in the meantime (But like, hopefully not) - The Peak Team
