Dungeon of the ENDLESS™ news & patch notes

• A Brand New Story in the Endless Universe: The Endless universe is full of mysteries, but stranded on this station there is only one you truly care about: What is keeping you trapped on this station and coming back to life? As many stories as this place and the people here have to tell, you don’t fancy sticking around for decades like some of them... 
• Tactical Team-building Exercise: You’re not the only one who wants to get out of here, so gather your posse from a colorful roster of characters and see if this time, your combined skills are enough to make it to the heart of the station. Switch between heroes on the fly in single player, or bring along a friend to face the Endless threats together in co-op. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/5374122/1b63ebba03656e89056599b6fff1dfdaf0b740a8.jpg
• Dangerous Exploration, at your own pace: When just about everything on the station is trying to kill you, you might need a break. So take a breather. Look around. Plan and prepare. Then kick down the next door and let another wave of monsters crash over you in a frenzy of claws and gunfire until only you or they are left standing. (We do not recommend actually kicking the doors, as they’re quite robust...) {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/5374122/fde87c3803a85d11c85ae2d53cb75a6d1ea646fb.jpg
• Rock-hard Defenses: You may not know what this crystal is, but you know it’s vital to your survival and your escape. You need it to unlock doors and power the systems of this station so you can finally leave, but all these critters around have an appetite for it. Luckily, you have a variety of turrets and other automated defenses at your disposal, so you can always bring an extra gun or two to the showdown. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/5374122/35207a2f5ef6b084960480fcc030aa7afbae1a54.jpg

• Start: Thursday at 8:00 PST / 16:00 BST / 17:00 CEST
• End: Monday at 10 AM PST / 18:00 BST / 17:00 CEST

PATCH NOTES

• Wes Davoun has been rebalanced:
  • "Urgent Call" skill has been reconsidered. The skill now makes a hero appear in the next opened room. The cooldown has been lowered. It can only rarely make an artefact appear. Spawned heroes can’t be recruited in both Armory and Refreezerator pods.
  • "Radio Tower" is divided into 3 skill levels, accessible at levels 4/9/15. This makes Wes’ progression more interesting and dynamic. Also, the skill is more powerful than before when Wes reaches level 15.
  • Because he’s an interesting early game operator, to make him more fair compared to other operators:
    • -1 general Wit.
    • "Knowledge Is Good" is unlocked a bit later.
• The Zoner can now hit the crystal, a part of his zone damages are converted into direct damages.
• The Silic Supporter, Silic Bulldozer and Elite Flying Necrophage monsters don’t hit the player’s modules anymore. However, Kamikazes monsters and Chimera Keepers can still damage it.
• The Silic Supporter now buffs the player’s team when tamed.
• The tamed Chimera Keeper normally doesn’t need a hero to be in the same room he’s in to be active anymore.
• The Death Merchant can’t spawn in the very first rooms of each floor anymore.
• "Paramedic" (Deena, Opbot, Kaspar) heal skill is now a lot more efficient.
• Deena unlocks level 2 "Paramedic" earlier during her progression.
• "Sandvitch" (Misha) heal skill is now more efficient.
• Biomass Factory module isn't available in the Armory Pod anymore.
• Biomass Modules, "Recycling" and "Soylent Green" passive skills don’t generate resources during crystal waves anymore.
• "Recycling" and "Soylent Green" now produce more resources.
• Minor modules attack general rebalancing: AoE modules are lowered, single target modules are increased. The new computation rationale is more realistic in the way we take more into account the number of monsters that compose waves. AoE are still the best choice to kill waves, they just need bigger waves to be as profitable as before.
  • Prisoner Prod is slightly more powerful.
  • KIP cannon requires less Science to reach its attack power limit, but the limit is unchanged.
  • Tesla module is more powerful.
  • Machine Gun does more damages but heats up a little more faster.
  • Claymore & Seblaster are less powerful.
• Fixed an issue with the Xbox One controller on Windows 10.
• Fixed an issue with the "Researcher" achievement which wasn't unlocking properly for players who didn't own the Rescue Team content pack.

RESCUE TEAM

RELEASE NOTES

• Added 3 new Heroes, with a really refreshing gameplay:
  • Wes Davoun, the radio operator:
    • He's a very good operator and one of the best support characters of the game. Thanks to his radio skills he can buff all heroes on the floor.
    • Special Transmission (passive skill): operating a resource module raised to an art form. Depending on which resource module you are operating, it will provide a different buff to all heroes on the floor:
      • When operating a Food module, provides health regeneration to all heroes on the floor.
      • When operating an Industry module, provides attack power to all heroes on the floor.
      • When operating a Science module, provides attack power to all minor modules on the floor.
    • Good Morning Auriga (active skill): movement speed buff for all heroes on the floor. When the whole team has to rock and roll!
    • Urgent Call (active skill): make an urgent phone call to change what will happen in the next room you’ll open, and force a positive event to happen. When you want anything but trouble behind the next door.
  • Zugma Walker, the bulldozer operator:
    • Zugma, driving her bulldozer, is the first übermassivetanky operator!
    • Recycling Beast (active skill): transform every monster killed into a random resource (except Dust). Not everybody can turn roadkill into resources!
    • Steamroller (passive skill): reduces the movement speed penalty when carrying the Crystal. Zugma Walker is a very slow character but when she's carrying the Crystal she becomes one of the fastest characters in the game.
    • Secret Compartment (passive skill): she can keep a part of the Dust from a floor to another. That little place where cops and customs officers never look.
  • Sasha Chokyo, the trainer:
    • With Sasha you gotta grab’em all! Indeed, you can train any monsters of the game! When you’ve got a monster as a pet, it can deal damage to other monsters. Moreover, it can even level up by killing other monsters! Take care of your pet by feeding them Food.
    • Heel! (active skill): tames the most powerful monster in the room. An order even monsters will obey.
    • Table Scraps (passive skill): share a part of your Food when healing Sasha with the tamed monster. One way to keep your pet healthy.
    • Attack Dawg (passive skill): share a part of the hero’s attack power with the trained monster. Your pet is every bit as vicious as you are.
• Added 2 new Hurnas monsters, from the Endless Legend’s universe:
  • The Hunter: always stalking the weakest hero of your group, it’s an archer that attacks slowly but deals heavy damages. Take care of your operators!
  • The Warden: a crazy spinning zone damage dealer. Don’t keep all your heroes in one place, or lower your head to dodge his club!
• Added 1 new Major Module, the Field Medic:
  • It reduces healing costs on the floor,
  • It increases heroes and NPC’s defence on the floor.
• Added 4 new items:
  • Heavy Engine: provides attack power, reduces movement speed and grants the Steamroller passive skill.
  • Secret Pocket: provides defence and gives the Secret Compartment passive skill.
  • Rescue Kit: provides attack power, wit and health regeneration.
  • Training Kit: provides attack power, and gives the ability to operate.

• Added a new spaceship, the Organic Pod:
  • This pod is an intellectual living creature, so take care of her like a member of your crew. Remember, she likes red wine, boiled shrimp with sauce, classical music and pictures of kittens.
  • Gameplay effects:
    • Creatures are faster.
    • Modules can’t be repaired.
    • Powered rooms:
      • Can’t be unpowered,
      • Deal damage to modules and artefacts at every turn,
      • Reduce monsters’ defence by 100%,
      • Provide +0.5 Food per turn.
• Added a new Hero, Rosetta QV1819:
  • Egocentric passive gameplay: attack power and defence bonus per mob in the room, so bring it!
  • Tower of Babble (active skill): within a limited period of time, all monsters with less than 25% health points explode instantly dealing zone damages to all the surrounding monsters. An uninterrupted flow of multi-syllabic words would confuse even the most enraged enemy.
• Added 3 new monsters, the Vultus: these 3 new monsters are quite insignificant damages dealers, but they are nasty gameplay breakers!
  • Trash: they spread into the dungeon and slow minor modules’ attack speed.
  • Debuffer: slows a hero’s attack and movement speed.
  • Vultu: it has a chance to spawn in a random unpowered room at the beginning of a turn. Kill it before it vanishes at the end of the timer and you’ll be rewarded with a Dust loot. So hurry up!
• Added 2 new minor modules:
  • Biomass Factory: a minor module that converts dead monsters into Industry.
  • Biomass Cannery: a minor module that converts dead monsters into Food.
• Added 8 new items from the Endless Legend universe:
  • Executive's Armband: % odds to trouble the targeted monster.
  • Cheater's Armband: % odds to poison the targeted monster.
  • Antigrav Trinket: boosts the movement speed but lowers defence, useful for Crystal carrying.
