Hotfix 10 - 23.05.2024

23 May

It's time to drop our first hotfix after our latest Director's Cut Update. As before, we want to express our gratitude to everyone who shares feedback with us. Your input is invaluable in shaping the game.

Version: 1.4.1.73319 download size: 301.4MB

Changelog

Fixed an issue causing units summoned from unique items to infinitely multiply in the hub area. Previously created copies will despawn when you leave the location. We learned the hard way that you can, in fact, have too much of a good thing.
Slight rebalance focused on early game experience - minibosses have had their HP pool lowered on lvls 1-6 so as not to be so deadly to a 2-3 character party without proper equipment. Enemy DMG and HP was lowered by 10-20% on Normal and lower difficulties. Hard difficulty was very slightly rebalanced as well. Insane remains as it is - a significant challenge, requiring the most game-breaking builds to be conquered.
Fixed an issue that caused the new Elite Assassin to appear too often.
Fixed an issue with Warrior’s Frenzy passive skill that could have caused an infinite Attack Speed bug.
Fixed small glitches in dialogues and cutscenes throughout the game, including a bug that caused units that were sitting down to glitch and return to idle for a brief moment at the start of a dialogue.
Fixed a slight graphical issue on the opening splash screen.
Fixed a scrolling issue with conflicting drop-down lists.
Fixed a co-op issue that could have caused the client to be unable to change their weapon.
Fixed various exceptions that could have caused the game to become unstable.
Google Analytics data gathering was turned off by default.
Please note that all data gathered is completely anonymized and only tracks your in-game actions (skills used, story choices, character classes, etc.). We do not gather any data from your operating system or other software. You can always opt-out using an in-game option to remove all data related to your gameplay that was stored so far.

Please continue to share your feedback with us. The best way to do it is via the in-game "Report Issue" option or by joining our Discord[discord.gg] and sharing it there. If you encounter a crash, please send a report after restarting the game.

Are casters comparable to autoattackers?

My biggest gripe with the game was how bad casters felt damage wise compared to auto-attack builds, and i really did enjoy the first bit of the game before that problem became apparent. I was curious if this was fixed yet.

Is there limit for resistance strip?

I don't know if it's bug or feature but I found something strange I would like to discuss. Recently I realised prisms with armor/resistance strip are absolute beasts when it comes to reducing enemy defenses. While armor strip works fine, resistance strip seems to be capped at -100%. I tested it on regular dummy in training arena with base resistances value of 0. Without resistance strip my freeze spike deals 314 dmg. This number can rise up to 628 regardless if resistance is stripped by -100% or -600%. If ...

Crafting materials farming

Will there ever be any way to farm crafting materials? I was hoping to be able to farm them on the challenge arena or something, but it seems like there is no way. With hard limit on how many resources can be found in game and with fact that rolling mods on items is pure rng it makes me feel like crafting is almost completely dead, until I reach T3 and unlock all crafting research upgrades....

Director's Cut is Live! The letter to our community.

15 May

Dear Community, Players, Warriors, Sorcerers

We want to share an enormous thank you! We’re releasing Dark Envoy: Director’s Cut using each and every comment, report, and piece of feedback you’ve shared with us over the last six months.

Summary of most important Changes:

Less shy about connections with Tower of Time universe, new main meta level voiced narration
Major narrative changes, reworked main cutscenes, some VO reworked, creating a completely different experience, especially during the first few hours of the game.
Balancing, polishing then reworking again, then repeating the process
Improved Jaan map and unique boss items
further optimization and QoL improvements

And we fixed one major sinister memory leak bug that made us all so miserable!
Instead of pushing the marketing for Dark Envoy, we gave this game 6 months of pure love and improvements. We’re still not done, but want to share this news with you.

If you’ve enjoyed your time with Dark Envoy, please leave us a review and share your thoughts with your fellow players! Tell your friends, sister, neighbor and maybe a hamster or two; HELP OUR LITTLE INDIE STUDIO COMPETE FOR VISIBILITY in this harsh AAA market.

Here is our Socially Awkward Zero Budget Launch Trailer:

Brutally honest one, but dire straits tend to create the best anecdotes.

The Director’s Cut update is coming, along with a 40% off Steam Daily Deal starting from Wednesday, May 15th, 2024, which will last for a week.

It was thanks to your immense support and belief in out team that we've managed to complete this enhanced version. We deeply appreciate your ongoing collaboration with us on this world that we love so dearly. We are committed to making this game as perfect as it can be.

Great THANK YOU from all 13 of us!

Dark Envoy Team

Full Patch Note:

Version: 1.4.0.73319 download size: 23,1 GB

Highlights

Reworked tutorial. Characters will no longer split up for the first part of the game, allowing for more seamless co-op play from the first minutes of the game. NOTE: Due to multiple changes to the flow in the early part of the game, saves made on the very first location will not be compatible with the new version. All other saves from further points in the game should be fully compatible. If you encounter any issues, please inform us using the in-game Report Issue function.
Rebalanced and updated combat encounters throughout the game and a general overhaul of player skills, items and even the tech tree. Our focus was to increase the variance in valid player options instead of nerfing the builds that were performing extremely well. As such, the changes mostly include buffs to the most overlooked items and upgrades, including a considerable boost to 2-handed weapons and melee options. There was, however, slight nerf to the most powerful combinations but we expect them to still perform well despite the changes (looking at you, dual pistols with chaos damage enchantment and maxed out Crit Chance). Detailed overview of balance changes can be found here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1tp5H5WVZHJMpT49bfLCfGtEAUlSHRrQo/view?usp=sharing
Recut and improved dialogues with high emphasis on improving the overall pacing, especially at the beginning of the game.
4 new cinematics throughout the game, including a brand new intro.
18 new unique items including custom handcrafted Boss drops, granting distinctive new weapon skills. Ever wanted to be able to throw explosive rats like a certain Rodent Monarch or summon Manaless out of enemy corpses? Now’s your chance!
2 new minibosses: Imperial Elite Assassin and League Winter’s Breath. Both may now appear on any random dungeon with the corresponding faction, further increasing their variance.
New cutscenes as well general improvement and polish on the existing ones.
Added a highly requested UX feature: clicking on the map will now move the camera to the designated point.
Reworked Rex bossfight for increased clarity in boss mechanics and smoother experience.
Upgraded world map: it now has an additional layer, showing the geographical names and borders of various regions for some extra lore and greater immersion. In addition, previously visited locations will remain visible (although grayed out, to be easily distinguishable), showing a map of your previous voyages.

Other changes

Added tutorial pop-ups explaining each side objective as they appear for the first time - either in the main game or in random dungeons.
New 20 level challenge awaits in the challenge arena - complete with a unique reward.
Polished audio, with high focus on UI and player abilities. New audio events for many interactable objects.
Respecialization Trainer got his own custom icon. He certainly deserved one!
Skill cooldowns will now immediately reset on combat end. No more sitting around, waiting for this juicy ultimate to be available again.
Further improvements to lighting and level art on both quest locations and random dungeons.
More dynamic cameras in select dialogue scenes, overall cutscene and dialogues polish.
Fixed issues with healing fountains occasionally bugging out and not healing the user despite having additional charges.
Most skills effects will now automatically disappear as soon as a cutscene starts. No more firewalls and summoned trees blocking the view.
Mining deposits received new looks based on the resource they grant.
A “select all” button was added over the leftmost character portrait.
Added an option to hide all tutorials. It can be turned on and off at will in the settings.
Forgotten Altar side objective will now reset on each game load, making it harder to brute force it with a save/load tactic.
Increased responsiveness on enemy units and fixed an AI issue that occasionally caused them to get stuck in-between actions.
Ancient Generator side objective will now correctly count down on the timer at the top of the screen, as indicated by the player goal.
Enemy tooltips will now correctly appear when the currently selected character is armed with a prism.
Crafting menu will now display a “Craft Item” button instead of “Precraft Item” for Normal rarity items that do not need to be precrafted.
Invisible units will no longer immediately exit combat.
Solved numerous small graphical issues on enemy and summon units and their abilities.
Multiple fixes to desync issues and other co-op specific bugs.
Fixed waypoint interactions on gamepad.
The Challenge Arena will no longer misleadingly inform the player that they would not be able to return if they leave. In fact, they are welcome to!
Fixed an issue with HP bars occasionally not updating correctly.
Fixed an issue that occasionally could have caused the controls to glitch upon changing the keybindings.
Fixed a potential blocker in the Faction Meeting quest.
Numerous other fixes, corrections and slight upgrades throughout the whole game.

What is the grey part of the health bars, please?

When I heal using the healing towers, I only heal up to the grey part of the bar. What is the grey part, and why is there no tool tip explaining what this is, please? There is also a larger grey bar next to your large health bar at the bottom of the screen for each character. Is this the same thing?...

Refund it While you can, otherwise you will be very disappointed.

I really wanted to Like This Game, but i keep Stucking with bugs, laga and Crashes. I really dont unterstand how this Game Could pass the Testphase. Which really took me the Motivation to End This Game.

Im Stucking at Atia, After her defeat it keeps stucking in Combat.

If you consider that Event Horizon is a really Small Studio and they dont have the recources like Larian Studio or CD Project, than its a really okay game.

To Be Playable with a Controller, there Need to be a differization between Dungeon and Town Mode.

Pro:
+ Classes are really Great
+ Combat too, but in Autonmous Mode there Need to be a Favourite Skill Choice for your Companions
+ very Tactical and Strategic and Real Time

Meh:
Story; is very Linear, at the End of every Quest you Can Choose between 2 choices. These Choices aß up to a Consequence.

Contra:
- The Graphic especially in the Cutscenes are Meh, im aware that the Devs wanted to make an Adventure RPG, but if you think about Pathfinder or Cyberpunk, than you dont really Need Cutscenes
- Basicially Not Playable with a Xbox Controller
- too many Gamebreaking Lags and Bugs
+ way too Expensive, the 30€ Doesn’t worth it, unless you buy it in Sale, for lets say 10€

If you Played every other ARPG and RPG than this Game Might be for you.

Some pros;
-Being able to stop and slowdown time during combat keeps things interesting and lets you do the kind of micro-managing typically reserved for turn-based combat. You can even adjust the slow-down percent in the settings.
-Crafting and enchanting gear added an enjoyable and value-added layer to beefing up all my character's combat effectiveness. You can quantify how certain gear/skill builds affect your dps in the training room. My max dps was ~2400.
-The steampunk vibe and world the developers built is cool
-Took about 60 hours to beat

Some cons;
-After level 10 or so, the good skills get maxed out and leveling up just to put points into skills I knew I wouldnt use was lame
-Crashes were frequent
-Occasionally had to re-equip items to get the stat bonuses
-Inventory would get messed up and hide rows of items, happens after selling loads of gear to a merchant
-Some of the choices you are faced with don't appear to have any impact on how the game plays out
-Voice acting was fine, but the dialogue is stale
