Hello everyone, I have been on holiday break for the past few weeks, and have just begun development once again. Thank you all for your patience!
Before I get started on creating new content, I wanted to address and fix some underlying bugs that was inhibiting the multiplayer experience of the game.
This is only a small patch, but future patches that will follow will contain new content for the game. Thank you for understanding!
Changed text components for various UI elements from the standard legacy unity text rendering to "Text Mesh Pro" for better readability. This may break some UI related mods and will need to be adapted to.
Removed the "Waiting For Players" prompt when being in the Dungeon Boss Portal, which led to net-play sync issues where larger parties could not enter the boss room.
Most class gear now have new gear condition special bonuses for increasing skill power of certain class skills.
Fixed bug where the pvp flag input was not being properly saved / loaded and continued to use the default "V" hotkey.
The sword weapon class is renamed to "Blade", which would stylistically allow one handed axes to be in the same category.
Weapon / Alt weapon slots are renamed to "Main Hand" and "Main Hand (Alt)" slots.
Shield slot is renamed to "Off Hand".
Updated the condition icon visibility, as they now pulse instead of rapidly flashing when the timer is low on them.
Updated consumable tool-tips, showing the conditions they can provide such as the potion conditions.
Fixed a game-pad icon element being incorrectly shown on the character creation stat tab.
Recovery and Siphon Leech are now classified as "Vitality" skills, and will scale power towards the Max Health stat.
Significantly increased damage scale of Talus.
Decreased Inner Focus cool-down from 45sec to 25sec.
Increased Divine mana cost from 12 to 20.
Known issues that have not been addressed yet:
The training dummies (specifically ones that spawn in Sanctum) can still have incorrect positioning on client-side play in multiplayer.
Due to the reworkings of conditions, weapons in this version are still in a work in progress for "on hit" conditions, they will not have on hit conditions until finalized.
Some enemies may provide conditions that can have an infinite duration or do absolutely nothing. Please report this in the comments if you discover a specific enemy providing a faulty condition.
% buffs for critical and evasion stats are not completely accurate, this will be fixed and is known about.
For a limited time, you can get yourself a plush of Angela Flux, the Mystic Guardian of Sanctum! You too can potentially be occupied with the librarian in your own home.
The offer is a limited run, so it won't last forever! All shipping & fulfillment is Makeship's responsibility-- any questions, concerns or disputes should be addressed to them.
Verify integrity of game cache if the update does not occur.
Fixed a packet accumulation bug where it would potentially disconnect a player while playing.
Fixed a lag input issue with the chat-box while pressing the up key to re-post a previous message.
Fixed a bug where holding down block then attempting to cast a skill will lock up the player, preventing them to do any action until they cast another skill.
Reflect now has a weaker damage output % for pvp. It still functions the original % against mobs.
Happy Thanksgiving!
Verify integrity of game cache if the update does not occur.
Fixed Screen Mode and Screen Resolution setting drop-downs. Setting resolutions and screen mode should work properly without hassle now.
A default resolution / screen mode setting will be applied when launching the game on Steamdeck, making it default to the Steamdeck's native screen resolution. This will only happen once on startup.
The settings menu cells can now be additionally navigated using the left analog stick while in the main menu (not in-game).
Added an official Steam input template for Steamdeck for the native game-pad support mode, which just makes the right trackpad and right trigger button emulate mouse movement and left mouse clicking.

Added an input buffer for game-pad on character selection to prevent some issues from occurring.
Added a leader crown icon that appears over the party leader's indicator arrow in-game.
Holding down the X Button on game-pad while hovering over equipment in the inventory menu will pop open a tool-tip if the tool-tip is not open.
Selecting a realm on the lobby list refreshes the list like it did before.
Optimized dungeon instance loading for server-side and client-side, reducing useless processes that happen every frame update.
Fixed issue where the host player can hear sounds that come from loaded dungeon patterns (spike traps, doors, teleporters, etc).
Fixed issue where several dungeon pattern objects were being spawned in awkward positions (Eye laser beam statues floating in the air, etc).
Fixed issue where party members can go into a dungeon while the party leader is in a different dungeon.
Fixed issue where longer spike panel traps have their spikes culled depending on camera angle.
Fixed issue where the minimap being stuck as host when connected client players are in a dungeon.

Fixed several effects that happen on different map instances showing up for the host player if they are not on the same map instance.

*You can still play with steam input templates by using the mouse and keyboard input setting in-game.
...But that's not all! Many changes alongside some content additions come into action for this update as well. Here's the patch notes:
Verify integrity of game cache if the update does not occur.
*NOTICE: Due to many skill adjustments for this update, skills on outdated characters will be reset, and skill points will be reimbursed.

Reduced the amount of breakable vases in some Crescent Grove patterns.

Added a buffer for Lobby hosting / creation. Once the lobby is loaded, then it will appear on the list browser. (This mostly fixes getting stuck on load screen, followed by disconnection).

Locked quests on the quest selection menu will no longer display the description / rewards on the tab menu cell panel.
Increased the fade in and fade out speed of the centered map / zone title text.
Updated the font for the chat-box, making it more readable / simplistic, since the old font was very stylized and overlapped characters.
Room chat has been replaced by the older "Zone" chat channel. This channel will display messages sent by players who are on the same map instance as you. This feature was often requested, and the prior Room Channel was reportedly used often as a zone chat channel amongst players.
Game logic feedback and chatbox text will no longer abruptly fade in / fade out while the in-game UI hide toggle is on.

Known Bugs:
Jump attacking and getting hit at a specific time will still potentially glitch.
Initial display of the default male and female characters on character creation screen have incorrect coloration.
The zone / region title card will occasionally display the wrong zone type (Safe, Field, etc) for connected client-side play. This may vary on latency and is a visual only bug.
Projectile prediction still needs work, some projectiles may not properly appear or function visually for connected players.
Health scaling on mobs may still not function correctly / 100% of the time.
Stats on some lower level gear may still be unbalanced in comparison to higher level gear.
Small optimization issues / lag spikes may occur from time to time for solo play / low player count sessions.
Some mobs may get stuck on tight crevasses. Slimeks in Effold Terrace can often find themselves in weird spots.
Charge attacking and weapon swapping rapidly with higher latency may still lead to small issues.
The party system still needs revision, as players can still be marked as "busy" and would need to go to different map instances to reset their busy status to be invited.
To expect for future updates that couldn't make it to this one:
Revised gambling system with Skrit. His loot table has not been updated yet.
Revised Storage system, adding auto stacking when shift clicking items into it.
More Emerock gear for Sally's lv-25+ shop tier.
More layouts for Sanctum Catacombs and Crescent Grove.
Minimap outline for Gate of the Moon, and the completion of that map in general.
More dedicated rare loot drops from elite spawns.
Quests from Torta, the fishing NPC in Sanctum.
Weapon vanity.
Music and other audio ambience for some maps that don't have them.

Hello everyone, thank you so much for all of your feedback for ATLYSS. I have been taking as much time as I can to read all the feedback provided for the new update that released yesterday. A lot of the game has changed, and I'm aware and learning what outcome is for taking as long as I have on this update.
There will be a new patch for the game, addressing some of the common issues regarding the skill system, mostly pertaining to the Mystic class balancing.
What to expect for this upcoming patch:
Revised Mystic skill cool downs and cast times, alongside skill power adjustments.
For the time being, Lethal Strike will be reverted back to a charge and release skill as it was more stable than the dash modifier. I will find a new solution later on for making the Fighter's dash upgrade work in conjunction with the Mystic and Bandit dash passives.
Adjusted defense dampening on enemies, and slightly lowered health scaling for enemies for parties.
Removal of the Angela quest for Trial of the Stars, replacing it with a different NPC at the Wall of the Stars. The latter was the original plan, but I did not have enough time. To be clear, the Trial of the Stars is not required, despite appearing as an Angela attunement quest.
Reverting the 6 action slot and 4 support slot limitation from the skill actionbars.
There may be more adjustments and additions to this upcoming patch. If so, more information will be provided when the patch releases.
Thank you so much again for your support and your feedback!
